When I'm cutting through certain materials (plywood, MDF) I sometimes don't make it quite all the way through every time. So it's a real bummer when I pick up the piece and realize that it's not coming out! I've had some luck recently with very careful registration and cutting both sides, but that's laborious and prone to error. Does anyone have tricks for verifying that a cut went all the way through before picking up a piece? I've tried shining a bright light into the kerf, but that's pretty ambiguous on wood where the kerf is really thin. I've also thought of having the material floating off the bed a bit and shining a light underneath, but I'm skeptical that it would be bright/even enough to really show through. Often you can see the pieces pop out a little bit, but again, I find that with some material and especially with large, complex shapes, they tend to not move even when the cut goes all the way through because there's a lot of friction given the thin keft.
Any tricks/tips?
best,
