Hi, I frequently have to cut chamfered edges on various small MDF parts ..for example 40mm wide strips. I have used a router with some success, but the angles required vary and I can’t always get suitable cutters. I have an Axminster TS200 tablesaw with sliding table which I would like to use for this, but I’m having difficulty working out the best way to hold the pieces accurately and safely. A big part of the problem is the blade guard because with the blade tilted the guard gets in the way meaning the blade has to be raised right up rather than just having the necessary amount above the table. I don’t like this as it means passing the work piece right under the exposed blade making it more difficult to hold securely and safely. The obvious solution seems to be to remove the guard so I can lower the blade, but I’m not sure if this is the best option. As an inexperienced tablesaw user I’d appreciate any advice on this.
Thanks,
Richard.
