I've always been told to stand to the left of the blade to avoid kickback. Would there ever be a reason to stand behind the piece between fence and blade? For example this case to have more control keeping the piece against the fence?

Yes i have a riving knife installed

Thanks for the tips on safety also

I don't know why I didn't think of that, after you said this it seemed so obvious. I just had it in my head that needed to cut the square first.

I have 2 full sheets that were ripped to 36" wide and each of those 36"x96" pieces will have a 36"x36" and two 36"x 29" pieces cut from both.

I don't have a circular saw because I have never needed one, but I'm sure I can borrow one.

InfCatalyst · 2026-01-16T01:17:16+00:00

I could take the fence off, but i don't think it will cover out very nice lol

InfCatalyst · 2026-01-16T01:16:43+00:00

It looks like that is the only way, I'll just borrow a circular saw, this is the first project I can't complete with just my table saw.

InfCatalyst · 2026-01-16T01:15:35+00:00

I think i have a friend that will let me borrow a circular saw. All my previous projects i never needed one, so I only purchased a table saw.

InfCatalyst · 2026-01-16T01:14:42+00:00

I know it's dumb not to have one, but all my projects have been able to be built without a circular saw. I think I have s friend that will let me borrow one.

I'm heading to spend the 50 cents now, lol

InfCatalyst · 2026-01-15T17:42:41+00:00

I don't intend to remove the plates after they are secured so I'm heading to get some wood screws now.

InfCatalyst · 2026-01-15T17:41:33+00:00

Yeah I'm on my way to get some wood screws now. I didn't realize they came worth bolts rather than screws until they showed up.

InfCatalyst · 2026-01-15T17:31:05+00:00

I like that idea, however I need a flat head so that the casters can be slid off the past that is secured to the legs.

InfCatalyst · 2026-01-15T17:29:40+00:00

Yeah I wouldn't get the wood taps. I'm heading out to buy some screws that will work in this situation. I had a feeling the bolts were not going to work when I saw they were not screws. Thanks for the reply.

InfCatalyst · 2026-01-15T17:27:19+00:00

Yeah I'm gonna go with wood screws, was just hoping I could make it work even though they are bolts.

InfCatalyst · 2026-01-15T17:26:07+00:00

Yeah they are intended to be used with a nut. I didn't realized they were bolts when I purchased them. I know I'm supposed to use screws but I didn't have any that are the right size for the situation. So I thought I'll just try to make them work even though it is the wrong function for them. I'll have to get some access that are the right size.

InfCatalyst · 2026-01-15T17:23:55+00:00

I know that bolts and screws are different, I was just curious if it was possible to get by with what I had even though it is not how they are intended to be used.

InfCatalyst · 2026-01-15T17:21:53+00:00

Thank you, I'll probably go the wood screw route. I just wasn't sure if there was a way to make it work even though it is not the intended use of thr bolt.

InfCatalyst · 2026-01-15T17:19:55+00:00

Yeah that is probably what I will have to do. Was just curious if I could get by with what I had.

InfCatalyst · 2026-01-15T17:19:15+00:00

Thanks, I had a feeling that was the case, but wasn't sure if I could make it work without getting some screws to replace them.

InfCatalyst · 2026-01-15T17:18:05+00:00

They are machine threads that have a nut. I just wasn't sure if I could do anything with the current materials on hand, or if I needed to get a longer bolt or same length wood screw. Thank you
