Hi guys,
I'm new to woodworking, but am a keen pupil.
I'm currently planning on cutting a bunch of wooden cubes varying in size from 1"x1" to 3"x3" from various Australian and domestic burl stock.
My question to you guys is what would be the best saw for the job? A table saw, a miter saw, a ban saw or other?
Most of my starting stock is turning blocks of varyious sizes, but mostly around 6"x6"x12".
My worries are the following:
1. The pieces of wood will be so small that I risk cutting my hands off
2. Messing up my initial cut as the pieces I'm starting with are irregularly shaped at best.
Any general suggestions on tools I'd need or protocols to follow would be greatly appreciated.
As mentioned, I'm a total newb.
Cheers,
Sam
