"In this clip, we're going to talk a little bit about the anatomy of the table saw. Now we touched on the overall purpose so now let's talk about what each piece is. I'm going to remove the guard just to show you the blade. This is a carbide tipped combination blade. Its I believe this is a 14 tooth blade. This is more suitable for ripping than anything else. Ripping is cutting with the grain of the wood. And if we wanted to crosscut, we do have a miter fence here. This is the miter fence; it fits into a slot here on top of the table. It allows you to take a piece of wood clamp it in here and cut across and you can use angles, cut picture frames. That's a very, very versatile tool. And let's look at some of the other parts of the tool. This particular model has a pedal that locks with wheels that come down. You can roll it around the shop if you need to. We're not going to do that, we're going to keep it in this position. And your on/off switch with a safety bump so you can turn it off without having to reach over."
