			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In order for your table saw to work as well as it should it's really important that the rib fence and the saw blade are perfectly parallel to each other. Now my technique for this is I'm assuming that you've got the blade and the miter gauge slots are already parallel.</p>
<p>Then the easiest way to check your fence is to make the fence also parallel to the slots. So here's the way I'm going to do this. I'm going to slide my fence over until the face of the fence is even with the miter gauge slot and lock it down and I'm not looking at it. I'm feeling it. My fingers in this case will tell me more than my eyes will. So I'm feeling that, that I'm going to feel it all the way to the back and if they're even in the front, in order to be parallel of course, I need to be even all the way back. Now if they're not, we need to make a correction.</p>
<p>I'll show you the correction as it's made on two different style of fences. This is a T-square style fence. With this, the way it commonly works is that underneath the fence, there are tabs that look kind of like a leaf spring. In here, on the front of the fence, there's such screw. So when I dialed that such screw in, it pushes on this tab and then of course towards the fence in the opposite direction. If I back such screw out it lets the fence come in. So I'm out to parallel, I'm making adjustment by turning this such screw just a little bit, bring the fence back, check it again and just keep dialing that in until we bring that fence in parallel. Of course it's good to look at the owner's manual for your particular fence. Make sure you're getting that just straight.</p>
<p>Now, there's a different style of fence you might have. On this fence, it's a little bit different. It's not a T-square style. The way this one works is that there are four bolts here and these hold the body of the fence to the head of the fence. So when I loosen these bolts then let me move this part, the body independently the head. So step one will be the same. I'll bring this to my miter gauge slot. I'll check them to see and make sure they're parallel. If they're not, loosen the body of the fence, get in just the right position and then using the bolts, and lock it down.</p>
<p>Sometimes you'll see a couple of bolts up here through the top, sometimes down here. But the concept is the same. The bolts are oversize holes. The oversize holes give you the wiggle room that you need in order to adjust this.</p>
<p>So a couple of different styles of fences again, the best thing to do is to refer to your owner's manual. Make sure you're doing it right for your fence. Most importantly, make sure that your fence is parallel to the blade in order to be safe and get the best quality cuts.</p>

<p>Cordless jigsaws are convenient, but the best models are more expensive than a corded jigsaw. Reviews praise the lithium-ion-powered 18-volt Makita cordless jigsaw for its 6.1-pound weight and fine ergonomics, along with a long runtime, an LED light and a 25-minute charger. Lithium-ion batteries are light, compact and environmentally friendly. They also hold a charge longer between uses – up to five times longer than NiMH or Ni-Cad batteries. The jigsaw warranty is for three years, and the battery is covered for one year.</p>

<p>Steel City makes the first hybrid saws to incorporate a true riving knife plus a heavy granite table top that's more stable than cast iron. This saw keeps all the features that reviews praise in earlier Steel City table saws, like a tool-free blade guard and excellent dust control. Reviews also praise it for ease in cutting sheet stock. This 1.75-horsepower saw could easily be the centerpiece of a workshop devoted to precision woodworking. The saw carries a five-year warranty, with 10 years on the granite top. It's also available with a precision-machined top as the 35900 (*Est. $1,250).</p>

<p>Experts say that sliding miter saws are the "sweet spot" in terms of miter saw sizes and types, with ample capacity for most users. This award-winning Makita miter saw makes smooth cuts on up to a 2-by-12 board, but its four-rail system makes it more compact than most 10-inch sliders. Admittedly the Makita doesn't meet the level of precision and features of the highly-regarded but pricey Festool Kapex KS 120 (*Est. $1,300), but comparison tests find the Makita is very competitive in terms of performance and ease of use. Its soft-start motor with electronic speed control handles thick hardwoods well, and the adjustable laser guide has a separate power switch. Warranty coverage is for one year.</p>

At 6-5/8 inches, the LS1016L has the largest crown molding cutting capacity (vertically nested) in its class. The patented retractable rear guard also provides the LS1016L with 4-3/4-inch baseboard cutting capacity (vertical), and a 12-inch capacity at 90 degrees. In addition, the exclusive six linear ball bearings deliver smooth, solid and adjustment-free "dead-on" accurate cuts. The saw also has a patented Four-Steel Rail Sliding System that further increases rigidity to produce superior cuts, as the four steel rails provide less deflection. The result is a larger cutting capacity and more accuracy.Precise Miter and Bevel CutsThe LS1016L has an exclusive 4-3/4-inch sliding fence system, with four sliding fences featuring upper and lower fence adjustments for more precise miter and bevel cuts to accommodate a variety of cutting applications. The saw miters 0 degrees to 52 degrees left and 0 to 60 degrees right, with positive stops at 0, 15, 22.5, 31.6, and 45 degrees (left and right). The dual rear-handle bevel lock is easily accessible with adjustments 0 to 45 degrees (left and right), with positive stops at 22.5, 33.9, and 45 degrees (left and right). Precision adjustments are made easier with dual front bevel scales for improved visibility. The easy one-touch (push in &amp; turn) miter lock system is designed for accurate adjustments and increased efficiency. For more precise cuts, a built-in laser indicates the line of cut whether the blade is turning or not, and also includes an on-off switch and micro-adjustments for precise "left-of-blade" or "right-of-blade" cutting.Ergonomic and Compact DesignIn addition to the large cutting capacity, power, and accuracy, the LS1016L offers a range of convenience and ease-of-use features. The LS1016L has less weight and the most compact design in its class, so it's portable and more easily transported. In addition, the patented Four-Steel Rail Sliding System requires two inches less rear space than competitor dual sliding miter saws. The see-through blade guard system provides greater visibility of blade and line of cut, and has a one-step blade change process for increased efficiency. The ergonomic rubberized horizontal D-handle design has a better fit and added comfort, and the large trigger switch is designed for easier operation.15 AMP Power, Smoother, Higher-Quality CuttingThe LS1016L has a 15 AMP direct gear box motor that never slips, bogs down, or requires maintenance like belt-driven saws. The soft start feature delivers smoother start-ups, and the Electronic Speed Control maintains constant speed under load for smoother, higher-quality cutting. Best in Class for a Range of ApplicationThe LS1016L is engineered for finish work, remodeling, trim work, and furniture making. It is ideal for a broad range of trades, including finish carpenters, professional woodworkers, case and base installers, cabinet installers, cabinet manufacturers, closet installers, decking and flooring applications, siding installers, stair installers, and general contractors seeking a best-in-class 10-inch dual slide compound miter saw for the jobsite or on the benchtop.About Makita Miter SawsMakita's new miter saws are designed with an innovative direct drive gearbox and patented retractable guard system engineered for large vertical cutting capacity—the new LS1016L 10-inch Dual Slide Compound Miter Saw has a crown molding cutting capacity of 6-5/8 inches (vertically nested). In addition, the exclusive six linear ball bearings deliver smooth, solid and adjustment-free "dead-on" accurate cuts. The saw also has a compact design with a patented Four-Steel Rail Sliding System that further increases rigidity to produce superior cuts, as the four steel rails provide less deflection.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This Ridgid compound miter saw has an adjustable laser -- a feature missing on the cheaper Craftsman 10-inch miter saw above. Reviews praise the Ridgid miter saw's accuracy and ease of use, with nice little extras like a fence you can mark on (and erase) for consistent cuts. After registration, the Ridgid miter saw has a lifetime warranty.<br />
<img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41YBFYUj3zL._SL500_AA300_.jpg" alt="Ridgid 10 inch miter saw" /><br />
Reviews praise the Ridgid MS1065LZA as the best value among 10-inch compound miter saws, which can cut up to two-by-six lumber. Reviews like the all-metal build and lifetime warranty, and say this miter saw has excellent accuracy, fit and finish, as well as user-friendly features such as an erasable fence. This newest version has an adjustable laser, and like the earlier Ridgid MS1065LZ, bevels and miters beyond 45 degrees -- especially useful for remodeling, where you may need to fit boards to odd angles. If you need to cut a lot of vertical molding, however, consider the DeWalt DW713 (*est. $220), though it lacks a laser guide.<br />
The Ridgid MS1065LZA has an adjustable laser, but we found reviews only of the older Ridgid MS1065LZ -- identical except for a nonadjustable laser guide. We found the best review at Consumer Reports magazine, where it's ranked in comparison with 11 other compound miter saws based on objective tests. Two single-product reviews at ConsumerGuide.com and Homeowner's Blog add still more details; the latter review is based on two years of use.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’ve ever sawed molding or flooring by hand, you know how hard it can be to eyeball angles and keep a firm grip on the job. Portable miter and table saws are trimming away more of that guesswork and elbow grease as they move from contractors to homeowners.</p>
<p>We focused our tests on compound miter saws and table saws with 10-inch blades, a common size large enough for most projects. Compound miter saws let you adjust the blade’s crosscut angle as well as its downward angle, or bevel, before you lower it to the wood. Sliding versions can handle wider lumber by letting you also push the blade inward. More models now project a bright red laser line to help you line up your cut.</p>
<p>Need to rip-cut a length of shelving or trim a door? Portable table saws have blades that project up through the cutting table like larger versions, yet are easy to move where you need them. Most come with folding stands or wheels. The latest are easier to adjust and use.</p>
<p>We also tested the first table saw that stops the blade when it contacts a hand or finger (see SawStop table saw). While we found several saws to recommend, some top saws and features cost top money, and several models are worth trimming from your list. The details:</p>
<p>Paying more buys more miter saw. You can spend just $100 for a low-scoring saw. But paying as little as $30 more buys you faster, more accurate sawing--important for cutting molding and other decorative trim. Among sliding models, a $500 Bosch sawed through our hickory 4x4 and oak 2x6 boards more briskly than similarly priced models.</p>
<p>Some table saws are bargains. Faster sawing and better accuracy mean cleaner cuts and less wasted wood. The $450 Ridgid TS2400LS sawed fastest and delivered precise rip cuts, yet costs $50 less than two lower-scoring models. Close behind the Ridgid: the $230 Ryobi BTS20 and the $300 Hitachi C10RA3.</p>
<p>Cordless didn’t cut it. The $330 Bosch 3918 is among the few battery-powered miter saws. Besides costing far more than most plug-in electric saws, the cordless Bosch was the slowest and least powerful in this test. We managed only 50 cuts though our pine 2x4 before its battery ran down. A spare battery, which costs $65 to $75, isn’t included.</p>
<p>HOW TO CHOOSE</p>
<p>While you can rent miter or table saws for about $45 per day, a single project can easily make buying one worthwhile. Keep these considerations in mind:</p>
<p>Don’t buy more than you need. Sliding compound miter saws cut lumber up to 12 inches wide compared with 6 inches for nonsliding saws. Having to lower its blade and push it away from you, however, makes accurate cuts tougher. For cutting wide stock, consider buying a conventional miter saw and a portable table saw for about the same price as a sliding miter saw. Although you can also buy a table saw alone and do miter and bevel cuts, table saws finish edges less smoothly overall than miter saws.</p>
<p>Go beyond brand. Even big names can perform inconsistently across saw models. Along with our scores, check for features such as a holding clamp and a laser guide for miter saws and a sturdy miter fence, or gauge, for table saws.</p>
<p>Upgrade the blade. Better blades are flatter and more heat-resistant, have thicker carbide on their teeth for smoother cuts, and wobble less. But they don’t necessarily come with the saw. A midrange $75 aftermarket blade (42-tooth CMT251) nearly always yielded faster and smoother cuts than the standard blade in our tests. We also suggest choosing a blade with more teeth if you value a cleaner finish, fewer teeth for faster rough-cutting and ripping. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Best Cordless Circular Saw: Makita BSS610 LXT </p>
<p>Based on reviews from Tools of the Trade, HGTVPro.com, Fine Homebuilding, Popular Woodworking, The Power Tool Geek and Amazon.com, reviewers at ConsumerSearch.com conclude the Makita BSS610 LXT is the <a href="http://www.saws4less.com">best cordless circular saw</a>. Below are their results.</p>
<p>Reviews recommend this light 7.1-pound <a href="http://www.powertoolbargains4u.com">Makita circular saw</a> for comfort, safety and convenience. The 18-volt lithium-ion batteries recharge in 45 minutes and hold their charge a long time between uses. The saw has a laserguide and dual LED lights, plus a dust blower to clear the cutting line. The 6.5-inch blade can cut 2X lumber even at a 45-degree bevel, and the saw comes with a 3-year warranty. </p>
<p>Reviewers recommend the Makita BSS610 LXT as the best cordless circular saw, praising its comfort, safety and convenience. The lithium-ion batteries hold their charge a long time between uses, and also last much longer than NiMH or NiCad batteries. The cordless saw bevels up to 50 degrees, has a laser guide, dual LED lights and built-in edge guide, plus a dust blower to clear the cutting line. The 18-volt Energy Star batteries recharge in 45 minutes, and the 6.5-inch saw can cut 2X lumber even at a 45-degree bevel. The competing Ryobi P500 (*est. $60, $110 with charger and battery) isn't as accurate and doesn't use lithium batteries, but reviewers say it's an acceptable budget circular saw.</p>
<p>We found the best comparison review of lithium-ion cordless circular saws at Tools of the Trade magazine. HGTVPro.com provides a detailed single-product review of the Makita LXT BSS610 circular saw, and FineHomebuilding.com and Popular Woodworking review it as part of larger Makita LXT kits. A brief review by Brian Marks, the "power tool geek," looks for the most comfortable cordless tools for small hands. Two useful short videos at YouTube demonstrate this saw and its blade-changing procedure.</p>
