I'm looking for recommendations on who to contact for help with some big power tools I inherited after my dad passed. I loved using tools in his woodshop when I was younger, mainly a sliding compound miter saw since I'm a small-framed, left-handed woman. He passed down a brand-new table saw, a table-top scroll saw, and a massive band saw, which required four strong guys just to get into my garage. I'd like to know who I should call to ensure these tools are in safe working order and to get some training on how to use them. I've managed to assemble the table saw, but I'm struggling with aligning the blade and the kickback stop properly, so I'm hesitant to turn it on. What terms should I look up to find a qualified person to assist me? Thanks in advance!

Check out local woodworkers guilds or makerspaces in your area. They usually have passionate members who are more than willing to help. Additionally, looking up the make and model of your tools can connect you with manufacturer support or manuals that might help.
