The Dewalt Table Saw

By Gary K Brown

One of the most common Dewalt power tools you will
find in any garage, work shop, or new home job site is
the dewalt table saw.

The Dewalt table saw is one of the most frequently used
tools for cutting precise widths by using the rip fence. But
you can also use your dewalt table saw for cutting angles.
Angle cuts are made easily by using the miter gauge.There
is a built in slide on each side of blade for use of the miter
gauge.

For those not familiar with how a Dewalt table saw miter
works, its quite simple. There is a thick plastic angle gauge
attached to a slide bar at one pivot point. It has a threaded
handle that is used to lock the miter at the angle you choose.
There is also a pointer attached to the slide to give you the
exact angle that you are looking for. To set the miter to the
desired angle, loosen the handle, turn the gauge to the setting
that you wish cut and re-tighten. Place the slide in the slot on
the Dewalt table saw, hold the board against the miter and
slowly feed it though the saw.

For making precision cuts with your dewalt table saw you
need to use the rip fence. This is a guide that attaches to the
table that runs parallel with the saw. It travels from left to right
in a free smooth action and locks down at the desired width
you choose. You steadily guide the board you are cutting along
the fence to give it a nice straight finish.

You can also use your dewalt table saw to put an angled edge
on your boards. To do this use the bevel adjustment on the saw.
Set the adjustment to the desired angle by using the crank and
angle gauge on the front of your saw to tilt the blade. Use the rip
fence again to make sure to get a nice straight even cut. This is
great for making wooden boxes where you don't want the appearance
of over lapped boards showing on the corners.

A few safety precautions to keep in mind while using your dewalt
table saw. 1) Never use your hand to push the board through the
final few inches of the cut. Use a scrap piece of wood or a jig
designed for this purpose. 2) Use the height adjustment to make
sure the saw just reaches through the thickness of your material.
3) Always keep a guards in place, and in working condition.

Be safe, and have fun working with your dewalt table saw.
