My tablesaw. I've had great success with my DeWalt 7491. Works great with enough love and maintinance it gives accurate cuts but I'd really like to upgrade to a Harvey or a Sawstop. Miter cuts without all the hassel, larger area for sheet cuts so it would be safer, and a little more horse power would be a great thing at times. OK, all the time. But until I'm rich instead of beautiful it's the DeWalt for me😁
🦺 What’s the One Safety Tip You Always Follow (or Wish You Did)? (Win $100 Gift Card!)

We’d love to build a collection of those hard-won insights. Share the safety tip you live by (or the one you wish you always remembered) in the comments below! 🏆 Prize: $100 Sawinery Gift Card (aka guilt-free tool money 😉) 📅 Winner announced on October 6!

@Rich Murphy I can make you one just some 1/2" ply 5x12 that I laser printed it on. After I plugged in a router that was switched on. 🥴

@Marc Caouette I did use half lap joints on the stretchers, biscuits on the ring on the table top. 5" screws were used to attach the legs to the streachers and counter sunk about 1/2" then plugged.

@Rich Murphy I do and I did. Between 6 & 8% it's just a lot of lumber.

Share the tool that gives you the most trouble — and why — in the comments below! 🏆 Prize: $100 Sawinery Gift Card (aka guilt-free tool money 😏) 📅 Winner announced on September 22!

My band saw. Changing and adjusting the blade for each purpose is a pain. Getting one off and unthreaded, twisting it back up to store it, then reverse the process with a new size blade. Urghh. Then resetting the guides and tracking. I have a love/hate relationship with it. Once everything is done I love the cut and ease of use. I hate getting it dialed in.

@Lisa Nicholson I can't either every time I turn it on I expect a meltdown of some kind. I'm surprised when it works.
