Am I the only one never cut to the Left?
Wanted to trim a 33" panel down to size and was fortunate enough to learn
that the Jet Supersaw has a generous, near 34" rip capacity to the right, depsite the advertised 30". A thought that ran through my head, before I saw I had the capacity, was that I'd never put the fence to the left of the blade. And, I supposed that someday, I could slide my existing '30"' rails to the right and gain maybe another foot of rip capacity. A lesser fool would pop for the 52" rails, I suppose. But this was all "head thinkin'" anyway. Am I the only one who's never "dressed left"? I mean, I *do* dress left, but this time I'm talking about my fence! Am I missing out on some grand super-productivity shortcut? Am I wearing out one side of my fence prematurely? What if I slide if over and it gets stuck that way? |

Am I missing out on some grand super-productivity shortcut?
probably not Am I wearing out one side of my fence prematurely? wearing one side, yes - prematurely, no What if I slide if over and it gets stuck that way? lower the blade again... I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I have more rip capacity to the left than to the right. This gives me great support for the more typical cut - ripping smaller pieces off a large sheet. A picture is at: http://home.san.rr.com/jeffnann/Wood...odWorking.html The saw was already mounted in the table this way when I inherited it, but I like the arrangement. I think one gets used to any setup that does the work that's needed. Note: if you rip on both sides, then the blade should be dead on square to the fence, no "toe out" allowed... -- JeffB remove no.spam. to email |
