MechMan Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Cool...I have heard about the saw stop not liking certain woods and was just wondering if that was the case. It WOOD suck to have to keep two table saws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David H Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 The saw stop has a safety feature bypass that can be enabled if you are cutting through conductive materials such as aluminum or if you suspect a quantity of brad nails, staples etc. They also post instructions to put a single layer of packing tape on the brake mechanism to prevent false activation if you do inadvertantly cut through a nail. So far I have seen no issues. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk49 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Dave, have you tried any of the Forrest line of saw blades? Excellent blades, pricey but worth the quality. t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tk49 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I've used the Woodworker ll, great for rip and cross cut, Chopmaster, for the miter and the Finger Joint blades, been impressed with then all.

fini Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Two thumbs up from me for Forrest Blades. The best I've ever used. I've got a 12" Chopmaster on my miter saw, and the cuts in oak or walnut are shiny, they're so good. BTW, I'll plug my miter saw, the Dewalt DW716. 12", double bevel, non-slider (for better blade stability, less bulky). It has a second fence behind the taller, regular fence that allows you to cross-cut a 2 X 10. I got a great accessory for it (Dewalt DWS7085), a little light that casts the shadow of the blade (thus showing the kerf location) before you cut. Much more useful than a laser, IMHO.
