Rules
- Always check your wood for nails or staples. Something as small as the staple at the end of a 1x1 can ruin the blades. If you're not sure, check the entire piece with the metal detector sitting on the table saw.
- Always measure the thickness of your work and set the initial and working blade height to remove only small amounts of material per pass. You will damage the blades if you manage to dig the machine out on your work. If it sounds weird, You're Not Doing It Right and you need to ask for help.
- If the blades are dull or damaged, contact the area host immediately. Don't be a dick and let others ruin their work because you didn't say anything.
- If you break something, or damage the tool, contact the area host immediately. Don't let others do more damage or hurt themselves by using a broken tool.
- Always make sure that the dust collection bag isn't too full and is passing air freely.
- Always vacuum the machine, cutting area, and the table around the machine when you are done.
Tips
- 32nds work well. Don't be in a hurry. It is better to make more than fewer passes: you will avoid damaging the blades and your work.
- Dust collection sucks on this machine, and not in the good way.
- Chips on the platen will cause your work to raise on one end or side, or wobble, which will result in the blades removing inconsistent amounts of material. It helps to have the Shop vac nearby and use the crevice attachment to keep the platen clear.
- You will get better results by emptying the bag and using the internal armature wire to stand it up out of the way before you start working so it doesn't force your work back into the cutting blades as it exits the machine.
