<p>Very good tips and good points to consider have been brought up. You may want to consider the following also.</p><p> Wear a dust mask, some exotic woods can be hard on your lungs, if you breathe in the airborne saw dust. </p><p>Wear eye protection as you can experience saw dust and small pieces of wood flying back at you.</p><p>Make and use a push stick to feed your wood through/past the saw blade. If the push stick gets nipped by the blade, you can always cut a new one. Sure does save teh fingers or hands.</p><p>You may want to consider making a auxiliary wood fence and mount it on the saw blade side of your fence. In the event the saw blade hits the fence, it will cut up the wood fence before it hits the metal fence.</p><p>I cut all my wood for my buildings, I model in G scale. I have used both a 10" table saw and a band saw. Have you considered what you will use to sand the saw marks out of your finished cut pieces?</p><p>I too have a complete woodworking shop. I have worked with exotic woods, they can be fun to work with and also a pain in the neck.</p><p> </p>
