Replacement for table saw in a small home (self.diy)

submitted 8 months ago by athairmor to c/[email protected]

I recently sold of a table saw that I wasn’t using mainly because I lacked room to store and use it.

If I want to do some DIY small building and remodeling projects, what’s a good alternative?

Example of projects I have in mind: cutting down parts of a kit cabinet that doesn’t fit in the space; building a small credenza; possibly cutting lumber for framing a shed.

Circular saw can do what you need.

A length of angle iron(you could use a straight piece of wood) clamped to the piece you are cutting can do the long straight cuts.

If you can fit a 4x8 of foam insulation, you can cut on top of that and the foam will last a while before it needs replacement so long as you don't go cutting all the way through it like a dummy.
