Description:
Whether you work on a construction job site or in a woodworking shop, the table saw is a critical tool, allowing you to efficiently process trim, or delve into precision joinery. It is also an incredibly dangerous tool, which is why many folks hesitate to use it. By learning how to safely use the table saw, you will open up your production capacity many fold. In this course we cover safety principles and procedures in depth, and give students as much time as possible to practice using the saw under supervision. We only use SawStop brand table saws in this class with patented technology to stop the blade on contact with flesh.
