The Accurate Table Saw: Simple Jigs and Safe Setups (Cambium Handbook)

The table saw is the major tool in most woodworkers' collections, and one of the most used for the largest variety of projects. Kirby, a master woodworker, details safety procedures first and foremost, as the table saw is also one of the most potentially dangerous of power tools if used improperly. He discusses how to get the best use from lower-cost saws, what blades and accessories to buy and which to avoid, setup for a number of basic sawing operations, building your own inexpensive jigs for specific tasks, and how to make accurate joints on the table saw. After safety, the next most important consideration is accuracy, and Kirby explains tried-and-true techniques that will ensure clean, precise cuts, miters, and joints. This is a book any woodworker will want to keep within easy reach of the table saw for continued reference. --Mark A. Hetts
