Hi folks,
I'm in the early stages of getting my home shop set up. I just finished assembling my table saw and want to launch into my first project (I need to take the groove off of some tongue and groove flooring so that I can do some patches in my living room).
I'm somewhat worried about the floor of my basement shop. I live in an old house in Boston and my basement is a compacted dirt floor with some of the concrete pebbles I associate with early turn of the century concrete builds. The floor is pretty tough but there are bumps in it and it's not level.
Am I going to encounter issues if my table saw isn't completely level? Are there safety concerns? Have any of you figured out solutions for dealing with this type of issue.
I was thinking about laying down sheets of plywood but I thought I'd check here first to see if anyone has any better ideas/solutions.
Thanks!
