Do not know if B and Q still does it but it used to be first 3 cut free and then 50p each after which would be a cheaper than a one off saw use

And sometimes if it's 1 sheet and only 4 or 5 cuts, the guy doing it can't always BA to charge you.

No.

2.4m feed in one side with 2.4m the other.
You need a 5m long area..

How would you get a 1200mm wide sheet on a small table saw?...

We have a massive table saw at work to cut sheets.
Table saws aren't very useful for DIY unless you hobby making small things

Plus aren't all table saws plotting ways to hurt you, and silently biding their time until the opportunity to put one into practice arises?

I once went to Selco to get 4 sheets of MDF cut. The sizes were nominal, but the guy on the wall saw didn't know that. He used a bullet marker pen to mark off the measurements and didn't take into account the blade kerf. Got the till and they insisted that only the first two cuts were free. I suggested that they mean the first two per sheet and not just 2 cuts for 4 sheets. They said 2 cuts regardless of the amount of sheets. My customer was with me, bizarrely he convinced them that he only need to pay for two cuts. They were so confused that they agreed.

Well, durr - the price of each sheet includes 2 cuts per sheet.

It must be per sheet.

Should have asked them "What if I bought 1 sheet, got it cut, paid for it, loaded it into my vehicle, came back in and got another sheet and repeated the process, would you charge me for all the cuts on sheet #2?"

Part of my kit I store with my table saw is a tourniquet along with ear defenders, eye protection and a rabbit push stick ( google it)

I googled it

not that one -- or the other one with batteries

I did ask them that. The response was "most people wouldn't bother".

"Well , actually, I did buy a sheet last year, and had it cut, so does that mean that today's shouldn't have been free?"
