On behalf of Expert Village, my name is George Engle with Mr. Fix-It Handyman in Miami, Floria and today I am going to be showing you how to set up and use and perform different cuts with a portable table saw. Okay here we have a table saw that believe it or not they call it a table saw. It doesn't mean that it is strictly for doing rip cuts. You can do many many different things with this. This particular model has an extendable table. In case you are making larger cuts you can come all the way out say 25 1/2 inch rip cuts as long as the board comes 8, 10, 12 feet long. That's when you are making long cuts. When you are making detailed cuts, one of the features I like about this saw is say you needed to be just a little bit beyond say 9 inches or say a little bit beyond a certain measurement. This little wheel here when you get it and fold it up against here, you are adjusting the measurement with the wheel. So it is not just grab this and move it. You have the control of being very precise with the wheel here.
