I think a lot of us doing it for a living did it they way you showed Mark, the clamps and supporting just help with ease of operation and keep accuracy a little better. This is especially true with heavy materials not the light weight sheet you were using. Practice and lots of cutting helps immensely. Good demo IMHO.?

Subject: Re: [FOG] really hating sliding saw for panels
Haha, was wondering if anyone would catch that, I did say with only came with the saw.?
If i was doing that a lot and had the space I for sure would build a larger outfeed but for the little i do I would use a support like you have shown. The other thing that I would maybe do is build a table that could attach to the sheet metal one that could drop out of the way when not needed.

The 2x8 left on the outrigger was pretty much dead on , interestingly the 2x2 was a little more than 1/2mm maybe even closer to 1mm out of square so I need to check some settings.
Dummy that I am I wasn¡¯t even focused getting perfect cuts it was more about not needing extra support, but obviously like you pointed out the cuts need to be accurate as well.
Honestly this is the way I learned and never saw it done any other way by any cabinet maker in the 4 shops I worked in or my own when I had 5 employees ?

Ok, Being the self sacrificing person I am I have made a video of breaking down a 4x8 sheet without anymore support than what comes with the saw or clamping.?
Again not saying extra support and clamping doesn¡¯t help or improve just that it isn¡¯t a total requirement.
Go easy on me guy¡¯s, I am fully prepared for a full critique of my ? technique but know that I cry easily (mostly on the inside only) ????

?Mark K:
On both narrow (12" x 8') and wider rips, I've needed to put some cheap work supports to keep the pieces from tipping down at the rear of the out feed table.?
How are you doing long rips without having the piece fall down??
This is what I'm temporarily using, with FAT300 on order:?
