All these years as a tree hugger and I never knew that wood was so much fun to work with. Now I have gone from being in a rut to being groovy.

I have the Rigid 10" on the fold-up table. I make most of my projects out of used wood so I do a lot of ripping to clean up the edges. Nails are not as hard on the saw blade as they are on the planer blades. I am a disabled vet and do not get much money so I have learned to improvise. I have made O clearance throat plates out of 1/2" plywood. I went to a yard sale at a nursing home an picked up 2 accessories for my saw. The overbed tables. They make a great addition to my shop. I set one in front and one behind the saw when ripping long and/or wide materials. They are handy for many types of projects because you can raise them up or lower them down.
