fes1.jpgSo with my new festool circular saw and guide I'll be setting up a cutting area. I've always had something on two saw horses. First cutting table was an open grid set up made from 2X3 s. More recently I went to the door store up the road and picked up a hollow core door in the $5.00 pile- bummer they changed it to the $10.00 pile. Still, pretty cheap.
My main question is why folks use the foam sheets as a support for cutting. Do they end up having an actual effect on reducing tear out like cutting on solid material would or is it just all about sparing the surface beneath? Like just in case you don't live near the door store.
Thanks, Larry
