Good day

Sometimes I need to cut very small pieces for jigs or other things and instead of passing my fingers "very carefully"...1/8" from the blade, I made this simple thingy...

Hope that it will help you too

Regards
niki

Welcome back Niki, I can see the reason for the absence. Don't you ever give you're brain a holiday? You may have seen my posts regarding my new Triton router that I bought for my table, I nearly had a panic attack when I misread the instructions and thought that I wouldn't be able to use my Nikilift, fortunately I can, even though the new machine is a lot bigger than it's predecessor I had fortunately made several threaded holes for adjustment. Regarding you're dogs name, our cat is called PUSHCA the reason being when we had a pet door fitted, she had difficulty in using it so we kept saying "push cat" and that got abbreviated to pushca! Nice to have you back Niki
You're Ozzie mate,

Hi Niki

That looks like a safe way to cut small parts on a table saw BUT most tables saws are not the tool to use to cut small wood parts on ,,, the band saw,scroll saw,radio arm saw,chop saw,a sharp razor hand saw,etc. are great tools to use for that job but any port in a storm will do if that's all you have on hand...

Niki,

Good tips...

Thank you!

simplenik

Thank you for your kind replies

Harry
Yes, I seen your new router...isn't it make you happy like a kid that got a new toy...at least, I'm like that...

About Pusha, in Polish it means "Woolen Ball"...when she was small, she looked like that and my wife's sister decided to call her Pusha. When she was 4 months old, my wife took her from Poland to Japan and later she moved with us to Israel and back to Poland. Thank you mate.

Maybe you are correct but, I don't have even ONE of the tools you mentioned above...

Niki, I am a kid (albeit) an old one, with a new toy, and what a toy it is. If I win big on the lotteries, I will GIVE one to all those who post regularly on this forum.

Ditto on both points.
There are better (or at least safer) tools for detail work than a table saw.
But -- I HAVE seen times when I was in a hurry and the table saw was handy -
have scars on three fingertips to prove it

Just got my first band saw (anniversary gift) so I figure any small parts jigs I make will be for it.

But -- if I had a lot of small parts to cut -- and either needed or just wanted to use the table saw --- your jig would clearly be a good way to go.
WISH I had had something like it last January :-)

Druggie,

Here is something I learned the hard way doing small parts on the band saw...

Get a piece of cardboard, like from the back of a note pad, cut straight into the middle of it on your BS and stop in the middle, then turn BS OFF.

Next time you want to cut small parts:
1. Slide cardboard back into the band saw.
2. Tape it down to the table.
3. Turn on band saw.
4. Make your small part cuts. (nothing will fall in around the blade and cause problems!)
5. Turn off, remove cardboard, store in a nice drawer, and you're back to normal!

It works like a charm!

Glad you had a Happy Anniversary!!
