Table Saw

Mar 02, 2011 19:43

Is there anyone near Mountain View, CA with a Table Saw that I could use? I don't want to have to buy one just to cut a few two-by-fours; Nor sign up for a communal workspace; Nor rent one for a day. Basically I want to make some wood smaller, and I don't want to spend money to do so.

Home Depot does free cuts if they're straight. Sometimes they cost 50 cents.

Yeah, I haven't checked with all the hardware stores around here yet, although I know the nearby Osh has a sign that says that they no longer cut wood. Home Depot may still do so.

I have a table saw you can use in Mountain View. (Near Grant & El Camino)

That sounds like it would work well. I'm about a mile away.

Home Depot, Lowes, Pine Cone all do straight cuts on demand, though sometimes there's a few cents charge. OSH no longer does cuts at most of their locations. There's a couple other lumber centers as well, to keep in mind. Mostly because every one keeps a slightly different set of lumber, especially the trim.

Noisebridge has a (slightly horrifying) table saw. Bit far from MV though.

Yeah I'd considered Noisebridge, but it's a bit far, and fitting 8 foot long boards into my car makes driving hard enough.
