In Response To: Re: feed stands (Bill Hamm)

One trick I learned here (of many) is if you are using conventional infeed and outfeed tables the wood tends to drag on the wood table tops makes it difficult to push the wood through the saw. Sprinkling the surfaces and the saw top with corn meal works great, it's hard enough not to break down too quickly, small enough that it doesn't make the wood unstable on the stands and is a natural product so mixes with sawdust just fine. It's also cheap.

Great tip, Bill! Thanks!
