Is this a Safe Table Saw Operation?
I would like to know if what I am doing on a table saw is safe. I have
ripped a board to 4" in width. I then have a piece of 3/4" plywood that is approximately 5" X 5" and I would like to cut this to 4" wide to exactly match (in width) the first piece I ripped. I am sliding the 5" X 5" plywood through by hand holding it tight to the fence. Pushing it through with a push stick does not "feel" safe to me. There is plenty of clearance for my fingers when I slide it through. However, since the board is only 5" across, it also does not feel safe to me to have the plywood fully behind the blade with nothing on eiter side as I am sliding it through. Miter saw would liekly be safer, however, I am trying to exactly match the first board I ripped. Is what I am doing safe or not? |
