Mike Turner demonstrates how to properly feed narrow stock through a table saw by using a push stick to push the stock through and a pole stick to keep the front of the piece on the table. In the left photo, Mike models safety glasses - with side protectors - a must if you are working with something that might break apart. Why? The tendency is to turn your head to protect your eyes but without side protectors you have just exposed the side an eye to the exploding fragments. |
