TS 55 REQ

The TS55 is capable of performing a wide variety of tasks. 

The following sections provide information on some of these 

tasks. This is intended to be an introduction to the capabili-

ties of the saw, but should not be considered as a compre-

hensive list of its capabilities.

Purchasing lumber directly from a saw mill is significantly 

less expensive than buying from a home center. However, 

part of the reason why the lumber is less expensive is 

because it frequently has not been straight-line ripped.
Sawmills have special straight-line ripping tablesaws, but 

they charge an extra fee for the service, and straight-lining 

on a regular tablesaw is complicated.
The TS55 can quickly and easily straight-line rough lumber 

using the guide rail. Additionally, if the grain of the wood is 

diagonal with the cut edge, the TS55 can be used to re-cut 

the lumber on a diagonal to match the natural wood grain 

direction or to avoid defects.

 

►

Use the correct blade for the cut. The Panther ripping 

blade will provide the easiest cutting in any hardwood. 

A coarse combination blade may be used for softwoods, 

or for a finer edge, but it will take more effort to rip the 

wood.

 

►

Choosing a blade depth: When ripping hardwood lumber, 

there is a trade off between cutting power and cutting 

quality. A deeper blade setting takes less energy, but a 

shallower blade setting typically leaves a finer cut.

 

►

A dedicated ripping blade, such as the Panther, is 

aggressive enough in cutting power that it may be used 

with a shallow cutting depth.

 

►

For a less aggressive combination blade, you may need 

to set the depth a little lower to reduce the power 

demand on the blade.

 

►

Choose the orientation of the guide rail to optimize the 

board usage. This may have several different options:

 

►

Align the cut with the natural wood grain orientation.

 

►

Align the cut to avoid defects in the wood.

 

►

Align the cut to maximize board width, while eliminating 

curved edges.

 

►

Place the board on sawhorses or elevate it from a work 

table so you do not cut into your work table.
