Paul, thanks for the tips. I'm a mechanical engineer, therefore a total freak when it comes to parallel lines, etc. As a matter of fact, the main attraction to my table saw was that the fence rides on a rack & pinion on the front & rear of the fence, so it is always very parallel. <br /> <br />I drive my wife crazy installing flooring & molding in the house - I cut & cut & cut & measure & cut until everything fits "just right". <br /> <br />Good tips about safety to share - yes, using a push stick is extremely important. I grew up with a great grandfather who was missing a couple fingers, so I've always been super cautious with power tools. It only takes a split second of not paying attention to lose a couple fingers! <br /> <br />Thanks for the wood selection advice - very good advice!! Thanks! <br /> <br />OK - back to installing floors so I can start a model railroad one day!
