Looking for opinions.
Interested in hearing what you folks have to say about part of my method for cutting tenons using a dado stack on the tablesaw (see photo).
I like to use a block clamped to my rip fence as a stop instead of running my piece right up against the fence. I feel like there's a chance of messing up my cut or getting kickback if I hit a spot on the fence that isn't perfectly flat and the piece starts to rotate. I've read and heard a few conflicting opinions on the matter. Some say you don't need the block and that running against the fence is fine.
Thoughts?
