first cut

[Justin Rapp]

not including woodshop class in high school, my first cut was on a jobsite craftsman saw, trying to rip an 1 foot long piece of 2x4 and the saw was so off, that the wood bound up against the fence. When I moved my hand to shut the saw, the wood kicked back at me and it was like getting punched in stomach.

I adjusted the fence better, made the cut, used that saw for a few more things and than bought a better saw.

I vividly remember the first cut on my Sawstop. I inadvertently put the blade on backwards, and was stunned how poorly and how difficult it was to cut a piece of plywood.

Doh!!!!!! Never did that before or since. Just on that first cut.

Hi Bob
Congrats on the new shop. Can you share pics?

My first cut was on my dad's Dewalt RAS when I was probably 14. Then I got my own Monkey Wards RAS when I got my first house, but when I got my 3 hp G1023, that was special. Using it to this day.
