Softcover, 5″ x 7″ , 144 pages, 2013.
This book is part of ‘The Missing Shop Manual’ series, which provides a basic set of reference manuals that are well suited for beginner woodworkers. The books follow a consistent format with each topic presented in one or two pages, with half the page taken up by descriptive text and the other half with a photo or illustration. This pocket-sized durable manual is ideal for quick reference in the workshop.
When you unpack a new table saw-whether it’s a bench top, contractor or cabinet saw-the enclosed manual doesn’t venture much beyond basic safety, assembly, and set-up. That leaves some head-scratching when it’s time to turn it on and start cutting. Where’s the manual that covers all the things your new table saw is designed to do?The Missing Shop Manual-Table Saw takes that next step with you. In addition to explaining the basics of safety and set-up, this handy reference will help you get the most for your money by getting the most from your equipment. From cutting dados and molding to creating jigs, you’ll discover the techniques and tips you need to maximize your table saw’s performance. Even if you’ve been woodworking for years, you’ll wish this was the manual that originally came with your new table saw.
Woodworkers will find this to be a practical, easy-to-read book that likely offers a lot more information than can be found in the instruction manual that most tool manufacturers provide.
