Frequently Asked Questions
What blade should I use for crosscutting?
Use a fine-toothed blade (10-12 TPI). Rip cuts use coarser blades (4-6 TPI).
How do I prevent tear-out?
Support grain direction, use sharp blades, and back cuts with scrap wood.
Is there a correct cutting angle?
Most saws cut at 90 degrees. Specialty saws exist for bevels and angles.
