What happens here

After the initial breakdown with the track saw, the MDF pieces are brought indoors to the workshop and cut to their final precise dimensions using a table saw. The creator explains that while a track saw can make all cuts, a table saw offers greater accuracy and repeatability for components like the 18-inch wide bench pieces, ensuring perfect alignment for the entire built-in unit.

Goal: The pre-cut MDF pieces are then accurately sized using a table saw for all bookshelf components.

[Music] so you saw me cutting it down on the tracks ah it's a fantastic way to break down the big sheets of plywood if you don't have a way to or park the board or MDF whatever it's a great way to cut it down and break you down before coming to table size especially if you want to break your back or you don't have a lot of wiggle room around so now I could continue making all the cuts with the tracks out the only thing is I'm pretty I'm pretty particular about having cuts just right such the repeating cuts so because I needed to be 18 inches wide that's what the bench would be I'd rather do 18 inch wide repeating cuts on my table soft that way it's all lines up perfectly but you could definitely do it on the tracks up I just think there's too much of a variance like an eighth of an inch if you're not careful [Music] hey when it passed on to you guys a
