Don't Own A Table Saw? You Can Still Cut Down Large Pieces Of Wood
By RON BAKER
TikTok DIYer Crystel Montenegro knows that it's challenging to manage a heavy sheet of plywood — especially if you don't have a table saw. So, she offers a few alternatives.
Montenegro's first solution is a product called the Kreg Rip-Cut. The Rip-Cut is basically an advanced version of the circular saw fences you can attach to some circular saws.
These must-have saw accessories simplify DIY projects by attaching to the saw, and the fence runs along the edge of your workpiece, guiding the cut.
It's a sound solution for rip cuts along the grain. It's also especially useful for making repeated, identical cuts, as when breaking down plywood into a bunch of identical strips.
Montenegro also recommends clamping a straight edge to your plywood or paneling and running the saw against that edge for a straight cut anywhere on the wood.
