A really excellent resource for a new or slightly experienced craftsman who would like a good introduction to getting more out of his/her tablesaw than the usual, basic cuts. Good photos, good explanations of the jigs, and most importantly: No time wasted discussing (ugh) "how to choose a table saw."My main gripe with most tablesaw books is that so many pages are wasted to describe how to choose a saw--something many folks (myself included) have already done by the time they get around to buying a tablesaw book. Burton skips all that fluff, delves straight into the basics of choosing the right blade for the task, and then explains the nuts-and-bolts of setting up the table saw to: (1) make basic and tricky cuts with precision, (2) accomplish basic and semi-advanced joinery, (3) perform basic and advanced shaping operations, (4) cut and manage sheet stock, (5) tune up your saw, and (chapters 6 - 8) build three practical pieces of furniture which put your new skills to the test.I didn't bother to build any of the furniture, but I have learned at least half a dozen solid, useful techniques that will help me perform all kinds of joining and cutting operations I never realized a tablesaw could perform so easily and accurately.This book is a particularly good resource for a new woodworker or an "advanced novice" wanting to take his/her skills to the next level. It's not as remedial as many similar books, as it assumes a basic understanding of saws on the reader's part (No tedious discussions of which end of the saw is the sharp end, or what a "mitre slot" is used for.) No, it won't make you a fine craftsman overnight (what book could?), and it's not as chock full of elborate jigs and tips as many other books.
