re: turn the board
Are you sure we're talking about the same thing? Are you equating my
use of the word "lift" with "turn"?
I would never tell someone to *turn* a board while cutting it, unless
it was a scroll or band saw...
=2E..or if they were cutting a circle on a table saw.
I just did that for my daughter last weekend. Cut her a perfectly
round 17" circle out of 3/4 MDF. I love that technique.
