Even if you can’t afford the best quality table or miter saw, you can’t afford not to invest in high-quality saw blades. Sharp and precision saw blades make all the difference in the world compared to inferior blades. Your cuts are clean, without frays and make joinery easy.While a bar clamp will “flex” as pressure is applied this won’t happen as the screw on the parallel clamp is tightened.

Cabinetmaking table saws accept blade diameters from 7.5 inches to 12 inches and handle large pieces like 4-foot by 8-foot plywood sheets.
