97maxima Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 Table saws are great but with every build you become better.Get the proper clamps and what not that you need instead of dropping 250 on a table saw, just my .02s. Ive felt the frustration before but now its kinda zen like now especially when chokeing on mdf dust. Quote American Bass*DC Power
Torres Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 i use a circular saw myself, but have good clamps. measure twice cut once and i'm good. been using the table saw for a smaller project since i dont have all the room in the world to cut. but i'm loving it so far Quote
eliassami5 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) Make a you're own straight edge and you wont ever mess up another cut. Get yourself some descent clamps..they dont have to be top dollar, but some that will last a while and grip well. When you measure make sure to use an arrow ">" to mark you're cut line instead of a dash "-". That way when you go to draw you're cut line you wont have to guess whether you should draw the line above the dash or below the dash, you just draw you're line through the arrow point. Measure twice, cut once. Dont rush yourself cuz thats how you make mistakes, now go try "enclosure building" again.

Kicker Guy Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 I use a circular saw for all my cuts, its just something you have to practice with. You will get the hang of it trust me no ones first build is great.

kingsuv Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 As long as you have a straight edge a pencil and a jig saw, you can build anything. Besides, will anyone really know if you are off 1/8"? So sure in hell won't hear the difference. That's why there is caulking and wood filler. You can fix and hide any fuckups. Quote Designing, building, and shipping boxes.

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it.
Coolwazabi Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Posted March 9, 2009 well it wasn't my saw.. it my was neighbors stuff.. even the clamps and the straight edge... and i did account for the space between the saw and the edge was like 1 and 7/16ths... pain in the ass.. gonna build that guide thing and get a new blade and try again next sat Quote
