A table saw can make most of the cuts you can make with other saws. The main difference is that you push the wood through the blade instead of pushing the blade through the wood.
The first step to using a table saw safely and confidently is to understand the function of each of the part
Rip cut – cut in the same direction of the grain. Cross-cut – cutting perpendicular to the direction of wood grain Miter cuts – cuts at an angle perpendicular to the grain Bevel cuts – Cuts at an angle along the length of the grain. Dados – grooves in the material.
Use special safety devices with a table saw. Safety devices can be used together or separately – safety blocks, push sticks, and feather boards.
