Hi All
My first post so please go easy on me.
Have been a bodger for many years, making simple cupboards, shelves etc but now want to expand my repertoire and skills and also acquire some extra kit. I am particularly thinking of a simple table saw, e.g. the Bosch GTS 10XC, which what I have seen offers a reasonable blend of accuracy and affordability. I have a question re table saws in general - can you safely make picture frame sections (rebated) using one? That is, run a piece of timber through, making a cut part way through, then turn through 90 degrees to make the other cut and thus the rebate. I have ordered the Ian Kirby book which is recommended elsewhere on this site but wondered if this was feasible and most important safe.
