My new track saw is due to arrive today and already it is giving me headaches.
It relates to work flow.
I don't use factory cuts on sheet goods. They are never clean enough for cabinet work in my opinion. Also I find it difficult to carry 4' x 8' sheets of plywood, particle board or MDF down to my basement. For that reason I usually have the lumber yard break down the sheets for me into more manageable sizes.
For base cabinets I have them break it down to 48" x 32" pieces. For upper cabinets I usually have them break it down to 24" x 8' pieces.
So I need to create a fresh sawn edge and then I need to square it up. I know how I would do that on the table saw; I am not sure of the work flow for the track saw.
I also have radial arm saw that is good for up to about 16" cut. That might be more efficient than the track saw for cutting upper cabinet sides to length.
Any suggestions?
