Same here, Slowest speed & 18 TPI blades.i use my Band saw but its hard on blades
Scott, I know you mentioned "thick stuff" but most CF I've used for models was .030"-.040". If a thin piece slips under the fence on a table saw and gets cocked- it could be dangerous. I installed a safety switch down by my right knee so I could bump it and turn the saw off without taking my hands off the material. If anyone needs a visual of this switch I could send one in a e-mail.You can also use a table saw with a good blade for the thick stuff. A router with a templates also works good.
Safety tips ALWAYS APPRECIATED Scott.Glenn there is a good trick to stop that from happening..... Cut a piece o1/4" plywood that fits over the fence from the top. This eliminates the chance of anything going under the fence. We do this when cutting laminates. After over 20 yrs in a wood shop you learn some good tricks.
.......and good eye-protection once that poor fiber cut-off wheel dissentigrates and throws part of a wheel towards your face.Wear a good dust mask.
