Just had a few questions about my new saw and was hoping someone could shed some light. Thanks for any and all replies, you guys are the best.
1.The saw has the circular sawdust exhaust on it, can you buy something to put over that to collect the saw dust or make something yourself?(trash bags)
2. I watched the DVD and I still don't understand the difference between a crosscut and a rip cut. What I mean is, I know the cross cut is across the wood grain but why are they cut differently on the saw? I have been messing around with the saw for a few days and have just ran everything through against the rip fence and thought that was the way to go. Guy on the DVD used the miter table thing.
3. Also, regarding cross cuts and using the miter table set at 90 degrees,...do you just have to watch your line as the saw cuts it? It seems to me like the rip fence is easier because you are pushing up against the fence, not worrying about measuring or how straight the cut is because its was set before hand.
4. If I am making dado cuts... I have to completely disassemble the saw guard every time? That seems like a big pain. Any way around that?
5. Last question. I haven't purchased a framing square to line up the fence and rails yet... Is that the best way to do it and is it really that accurate where I can just cut using the fence with complete confidence?
Thanks so much guys, appreciate everything.
