Beginner-friendly setup, blade selection, guides, and sequencing

About

Turns complex setups into simple checklists, helping first-time users nail square cuts. Focuses on sequence, marking, and clamping that produce pro-looking results.

Core Beliefs

Predictability comes from setup and sequence, not bravado.

Background

I taught a Saturday class where three people blamed their saws. After we squared shoes, set depth, marked from a story stick, and clamped a straightedge, every cut improved. Watching confidence replace guesswork hooked me. Good setup beats bravado, and repeatable steps beat luck every time.

Perspective

I favor forgiving kits that help learners make square, clean cuts quickly.
