Table Saw....

When working on the Scrollsaw if you 'force' or 'push' the wood into the blade you may break a blade or get an irregular cut.

Trying to FORCE wood through a table saw can get you serious injury!

We say it all the time in scrolling but it is just as true when using the Table Saw.....

Dave, I haven't noticed that paticular magazine before but I will try to remember it the next time I am at the bookstore.

GB, I bet I read that phrase about 100 times before actually working on the scroll saw taught me what it meant.  I mean in my gut.  It does take a slight  forward pressure to make the blade advance but I can usually tell if I am starting to push too hard.

I'm glad to have learned it on a scroll saw.  Hopefully the knowledge transfers.
