Sorensin Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Hey people I'm in need of a table saw that can cut angles, Ideally I'd love to find one to use this weekend. Can pick one up if it'll fit into my car, or if someone has one setup somewhere I can use or if someone wants to do some cutting for me that would be fantastic, I think there's about 5 pieces I need to cut angles on and some pieces will be both sides, pieces are only about 600 long so shouldn't take too long. Can provide homemade whisky or cash for the troubles Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickrock Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Where are you ? Depends on how far away you are you could probably use the bench saws in the workshop I work in on the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaver Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 What about a skillsaw that you can set the angle and has a runner so it will cut in a straight line (if the piece is straight to start with). I have a battery powered one which is fine for panels/thin stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Or just clamp up some scrap wood as a guide and it will cut straight as an arrow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorensin Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 can you be bothered venturing to kelburn? I would have been but I think I may be sorted now... If it falls through I'll msg you, you around this weekend? and do you have a buzzer I'm pretty keen on this buzzer business now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorensin Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 Or just clamp up some scrap wood as a guide and it will cut straight as an arrow Some of these pieces are quite small and it makes it very hard to clamp down and run a skill saw across it. Also one way is ok but cutting a angle the other way the skill saw fouls the clamp and its all to hard basket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
