Ken, I'm putting my usual wise-ass stuff aside for this. You've GOT to go out and get a good table saw book, immediately! The possibility for injury is ever present. If something shoots back at you, you could need to go to the ER. I've used "techniques" that you're not supposed to and I've come very close to paying for it. A piece 3/4" x 2.5" x 16" once hit me in the gut. I was wearing a t-shirt under a sweatshirt under a hoodie and the welt it left was huge and it hurt like hell, for a few days. Had that been my head... Please be careful. You still need all of your digits to diaper.

+1 I was ripping a door trim once using an ill advised technique and the trim was jettisoned from the saw and impaled the wall behind me.

I totally agree, Mark, but I don't have a laptop or a TV in the shop. See, I learn something from you everyday. I did not know that dvd's were "live." Had I been aware, I never would have gone bluray. Or maybe you just think that, 'cause you've gone all 3-D like on us.

I think a book would be better in my case.
I'm not ripping anything for this project, and I'm trying to be extremely cautious, but the more info, the better.
