Default RE: Question for DIY deer butchers

ORIGINAL: HNI_Christine

I've never seen a table saw used for cutting steaks. I think there's three problems with using a tablesaw.

#1 not enough blade height to cut decent sized steaks.

#2 more dangerous than a bandsaw. (it seems people cut themselves up on tablesaws more than bandsaws)

#3 unless you can find a pretty thin blade with real fine teeth, you'll turn a lot of steak into deer dust.
I agree, plus your going to have one hell of a mess to clean up.

Rick, I debone everything as well. I tend to make smaller steaks that way.

I'd imagine if you must, you could cut to the bone with a knife and then a reciprocating saw would work on the bone. ?
