Guarantee the switch table doesn't move amid a cut – When utilizing a switch table, the workpiece is normally of little to medium size, yet when managing bigger, increasingly lumbering workpieces you may end up squeezing into the switch table's fence all the more coercively. The absolute last thing you need is for the whole switch table to move. On the off chance that it's not sufficiently substantial to remain put you can cinch it to something stationary.

8. Use infeed/outfeed underpins if vital – These third and fourth hands will assist enormously while directing longer pieces and enable your concentration to stay close to the bleeding edge.

9. Comprehend the risks of utilizing huge bits – Even however the RPM of a huge piece might be equivalent to a littler piece, a huge piece's edge speed is a lot higher. Consuming the workpiece, just as potential individual peril, are more probable with bigger bits. They additionally need more freedom around the fence, so make a point to utilize a split fence to dispense with the hole.

10. Just evacuate little measures of material with each pass – This is a significant hint, and in the event that it doesn't sound recognizable to you at this stage I propose you rehash this article, beginning with tip #1.
