Can a Proper Table Saw Stand Improve Jobsite Safety?
Will using a table saw stand help improve jobsite safety around the use of the power saw?
How many times have you been using a skill saw or table saw and had serious kickback or binding that resulted in injuries? Unfortunately, we all have had too many close calls and almost all of us have the scars to prove it.
“Whew, that was a close one!” you probably said to yourself.
Kickback and dangerous tipping points are just two of the safety problems you’ve likely experienced working with a makeshift cut station in the field. So what’s the best approach for overcoming these inherent dangers?
Using a Circular Saw at the Jobsite
A challenging problem with using a skill saw on the jobsite is the absence of a place to safely cut. Typically, you work on the ground, which requires you to bend over all day. Not only is this tiring, but it’s also a dangerous position from which to get the job done.
Most journeyman carpenters and woodworkers have had a close call with their skill saw. A tool that is arguably the most dangerous tool on the job. In addition the wear and tear on your body over time can lead to medical challenges later in life.
How a Table Saw Stand Addresses Safety Problems on the Job
A table saw stand or similar type of portable workbench can significantly improve your safety on the jobsite.
Choosing a saw table with adjustable legs will allow you to work on uneven terrain. This can make it easier and safer to make cuts and reducing the chances of saw kickback. This will also help you avoid dropped boards, pivot points and binding problems.
If you can combine the chop saw and skill saw function in a single cut station, it will allow you and your crew to move seamlessly between the two.
If you could find a cutting station that combines all these functions AND allowed you to quickly measure, it would arguably be the most valuable piece of equipment on the jobsite. Wouldn't it?
