 * More risk of blade lead as it's keeping the work up off the table
 || We have this so might as well know how to use it, even if it is superseded

+| Switching in a very fine blade ||
+* Far more care is required when using finer blade
+* But owing to the fine tooth pitch they'll give neater, tighter cuts on thinner materials
+* Inductee takes the metal blade oil, coils it and returns to storage
+* After using metal the tyres and dust traps should be cleaned more carefully than normal as metal swarf can easily deflect the course of a thinner wood blade
+* Taking care throwing out the new blade, thinner blades are much more prone to twisting
+* Inductees fit new blade
+* Take care with the tension, it's easy to snap a thin blade. If you've not adjusted the tension gauges and they're out, now is a good time to do so
+* Greater accuracy is required with setting the bearing guides
+* Very thin blades are most often used for fine curved work, not usually against the fence or mitre gauge
+* If you need to cut something even finer than these blades can do, consider the laser or scroll saw.
+* <Demonstrate thin material free-hand cuts, then inductees practice>
+* Switching back to ripping blade.
