If your table saw can kick a full sheet of 3/4" ply at you, it's gotta be at least 20 horsepower.

I use a straightedge and skilsaw to piece plywood, OSB, and doorskins 'cuz Dina's butt isn't that wide or deep.

Lay a piece of pipe over the foam, step on it, and create a void where the saw blade won't cut foam. Also, use a shallow cutting depth, good side down for the ply, and tape the back. Remove the tape toward the cut edge so it doesn't splinter.

Most of us prefer Baltic birch for jigs and such. Ply would be fine on the floor if it remains dry, but most ply is stable to really cold negative temps.

A hefty rainstorm started here an hour ago. We had bursts of wind to 8 knots and we're expecting a full quarter of an inch of precipitation!

Damn! I relied on my dexterity to make the 90 degree transition the last time I did a prefab countertop. I'll build one of those jigs for the next one, that's for sure. It turned out fine, but it was a real stress point for me. (BTW, any sharp blade will make a perfect cut in laminate. You don't need a gazillion tooth plywood blade. A 24-tooth B&D Piranha blade made my cut for me without a hitch.)

You Festeringtool addicts, I swear. ;)

Have you and Toy been here?
