Daily TipWhen stack cutting ensure that the stack is good and tight to avoid blow outs, and keep a good cutting all the way to the bottom of the stack. There are many ways you will find stack cutting useful; if you routinely sell your work, you can produce several copies at once, thereby cutting down your production costs and increasing your profit margin. Stack cutting is also an effective method to help slow the aggressiveness of a blade, as well as reducing the fuzzies that a spiral will cause. However when stack cutting is done improperly, it will cause as many problems as it will solve. When securing your stack be sure to use a method that will not put space between the pieces of wood. Things like carpet tape, while effective, will create voids in your stack that can cause all kinds of nasty problems. Tape on the edges, hot glue, even wire brad nails in the waste areas are all methods that will give you satisfactory results. As added "insurance" consider using spring clamps to help you get the stack good and tight. Another important consideration when stacking is to be absolutely certain that both your drill bit and saw blade are perfectly perpenducular to the wood. A crookedly drilled hole or slightly beveled table will lead to drastic differences between the top piece and the bottom.
