Helpful Hint
Last week's tip was: Doing multiple “same-size” cuts on the table saw (e.g. cutting 50 matching plaques). Use the Rocklear sled with a stopper block and a hold down. This will give you the same size piece, time after time.
This week BOD member Alden Hoot recommends:
Bevel the bottom edge of that block of wood so the sawdust does NOT collect in a corner you can't easily clean, which can alter your measurement.
Alden also recommends reading “Laser Etching Metal: What to Know to Get Started” on m.all3DP.com
