Cutting Lumber Core Plywood On A Table Saw

DerbyDad03 · 2021-08-03T15:42:38+00:00

I have a few scraps of 3/16" lumber core plywood that I scarfed froma friend's woodbin many years ago. I've never used lumber core plywood,so last night was my first cutting experience with it.I was holding the small panel down with my Gripper and as I fed the panelinto the blade, the blade kind of jerked every few inches. The same thing happened on 2 cuts, so I thought maybe the bearings were shot or the belt was slipping. I followed up by cutting some 1/4" MDF as a test and it cut nice and smooth.When I look at the edges of the plywood, I don't see any voids on the cutedge, shown below. idea why the saw would have acted as it did?

Carbs should not have an effect unless the jetting is not correct for higher altitudes.

Still the grade may have been too much.

The handle is adjustable to accommodate different tastes. Pick which is most comfortable.

Using two Grippers for long stock is a bit of a developed technique for a fluid motion.
