STACK CUTTING See Figure 14. After becoming well acquainted with the saw through practice and experience, you may wish to try stack cutting. Stack cutting may be used when several identical shapes need to be cut. Several pieces of wood may be stacked on top and secured to each other before cutting. The wood pieces may be joined together by placing double sided tape between each piece or by wrapping masking tape around the corners or ends of the stacked wood. You must attach the stacked pieces of wood to each other so they will move on the table as a single piece of material.
