Hi
I'm about to start my first project with my new (and first) tablesaw - a very simple cabinet. I'm going to use pineboard. What is the correct, safe way to cross cut this? For instance I need to cut a piece 770x475 from a 850x495 board. From some online reading (and from the 'manual' that came with the saw) I understand that I should use the fence to rip the board to the required width (475mm), but I should NOT use the fence to make the crosscut. But won't the piece of wood (850x475 at this point) be too big to safely crosscut using the standard, supplied (ie, small) sliding mitre gauge?
Thanks,
Jason
