I bought about 200 ft of rough sawn teak last week. My plan is to cover the dash and cockpit sole of my boat project with it. This is my first time working with wood other than framing up the walls in my basement. To date I purchased a Dewalt 735 thickness planer, a Wixey readout for it, and a Sears 113.298720 10” contractor saw. The saw came with a Biesemeyer fence. I did some searching here and ordered a PALS and a set of machined pulleys for it. Is there anything else I should look at with the saw? My first project will be a 6’ sled to rip a straight edge on all the rough cut lumber. I ordered a set of toggle clamps. The sleds I’ve seen used hardboard as a base, is there a problem if I use a 1x8 oak board as the base? Or is the hard board better because it’s less susceptible to warpage over time? 707F7501-6FA6-412F-8736-B00E60B418E8.jpeg
