Equipment Orientation Information: SawStop Table Saw and Bandsaw

The SawStop Table Saw and Bandsaw class is offered on an as-needed basis. To schedule the class please follow these steps:

• reach out on the Woodshop #Saw-Stop channel of the Make717 discord. Our facilitators (Deb Zimmerman and Russell Howard) will schedule a time with you and the class/event will be scheduled and posted. 
• Complete the steps below to receive the registration code.
• Using the registration code, register and pay for the class as scheduled.  

This introduction is designed for you to learn the basics of Sawstop, its safety features and how to use the tool in the Make717 space. This is not a class on using a tablesaw if you are not already familiar with doing so.  We anticipate a tablesaw basics class in the future so if you are interested in such a class let us know.

In this introduction we will discuss the various parts of the saw including the safety features. We will demonstrate how to use the blade guard and riving knife, how to change the blade and brake.  We will discuss how to leave the saw at the end of your work session and answer any questions you may have.

In order to register for the introduction you will first need to watch some videos and then take a short quiz.  You will then be given a code so you can register for the introduction. This class requires some homework to be accomplished before you can register.

• Be a member in good standing or a STEMPass holder
• Watch the videos referenced on the SawStop instructions web page below!
