  1. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Hello! I'm relatively new to woodworking, but we have a ton of house projects that would be made much easier with a wood shop. I snagged an inexpensive Delta Contractor's Saw (34-440) that, after some tinkering and rewiring, runs great. I need some help finding a riving knife or splitter (and...

    Has anyone "renewed" the kerf on their zero-clearance inserts for their SawStop table saws? My SawStop (OEM) ZCI has seen a fair amount of use and I was thinking I could just tape up the saw-slot with packing tape and dam it, flip it upside down, and pour a little epoxy in it to "renew" and...

    I received an email from Rockler this morning. I get them all the time, but this one features their "10 Newest Rockler Innovations to Look Forward to." Item #8 in the list is a "Rockler Deluxe Push Stick" for $19.99. I do not need any additional push sticks, but the price caught my attention, so...

    Hi all! I have a Ridgid R4520 professional table saw whose belt keeps coming loose. I've included a screenshot of the manual and a pic of my machine's belt adjustment area for reference. The middle bolt is the adjustment for the belt tension. It doesn't matter how tight I get it, after raising...

    This is a comparison of Table Saw and Radial Arm. Radial Arm Table Saw Nick shows you how to make the Jig in another video. Myself I'm lucky enough to have a radial arm for 50 years. But Nick, as usual does a stellar job of presenting. Table Saw, tendons,mortises.

    Replacing an old Jet 708536 trying to work out what to price it at for a interested colleague 12" tilting Arbor saw JTAS-12X-5/1LFR 5HP motor, bed is flat and rust free, still cuts well and everything is still true. I have no idea how old but I suspect 15+ years. Original splitter and blade...

    I have a SawStop cabinet saw on which I've been cutting shallow rabbets on plywood. On the SawStop the riving knife rides on the mechanism that raises/lowers the blade. I need to cut rabbets that are lower in elevation than the height of the riving knife. I can't push the ply past the riving...
  8. Focus on the Workspace
    Hi there, I'm interested in building a rolling workbench with flip up miter saw around my new (to me) Grizzly 1022 table saw. I noticed that almost all plans for this very popular combo orient the miter behind the table saw, aka, in the table saw outfeed zone. This necessitates flipping down the...
  9. Projects Outfeed Table

    I've always wanted an outfeed table for my table saw and now I have it. Still need to do some trim work. But it works great and I have 12 drawers for storage. Plus tracks for assembly.
  10. Projects New Table Saw Insert

    So I'm very new to woodworking and while I often tell others I refrain from calling myself a "woodworker", my wife likes to correct me by reminding me that I spend about 20-30 hours/week in my shop. During those hours, I'm most often just making saw dust and some of that comes from my Craftsman...
  11. Projects Kerf bend dog bowl stand

    I decided to try my hand at kerf bending. I did not use any spacers and just eyed the cuts spacing as best I could. Originally I just wanted to see how it works and give it a try but it turned into a raised dog bowl stand. Next time I will make spacers so my cuts are spaced accurately and will...

    All, Still a newbie so TIA for your help. A question about how to add weight to a table saw. I am considering buying a new saw, including a Sawstop contractor saw. All reviews, suggestions, etc I have researched indicate that a heavier saw is more stable. Makes sense. The question is how to...

    I recently purchased a Laguna Fusion F1 table saw from Rockler. I have been setting it up and making sure everything is aligned properly. I noticed some movement in the blade assembly slider (not sure of proper term). Does this seem normal or should there be zero movement? The rear slider has no...

    Ok--bring on the opinions! Which miter gauge slot do you prefer--the one on the right of the blade or the left? If the blade is left-tilt, does that change your opinion? And now an invitation to really assert your opinion: Why NOT use one or the other? (And, to head it off, I know there's...

    Hi... question for owners of the older Craftsman 113 Table Saws that have upgraded your motors. What is the consensus on the additional weight of most of these newer TEFC 1 - 2 HP motors and how the saw has handled it? I have an early 70's model that I'm very happy with. I bought it from the...

    I just purchased this older grizzly G1023 for about $450 and it’s a bit in rough shape. It has the factory belts that I’m not sure are made anymore, and the fence is still wobbly towards the back even after I tighten down the screws holding it in. Has anyone come across this issue? And how can I...

    I've spent a lot of sleepless nights thinking about this, and it's time to ask your brains to join me: How do you precisely (within 1/1000") [edit--scrap that--let's go for 1/100"] set your table saw blade height? (Yes, I know many of you will struggle with my demand for such precision, but...

    Has anyone purchased from filter junkie? Recently I purchased a delta 13 table saw for my small shop. See below Delta Machinery | A Legacy of Superior Quality after producing more dust than expected I decided to build a homemade dust collection system. I called filter junkie and the entire...

    Unfortunately, after not posting any projects for months, my latest project is another urn. This made this urn a simple unadorned cube 7.5" wide X 7.5" deep X 8" high. The front & back panels have rabbets that join to the sides, as does the top & bottom panels. I made it for my late Japanese...

    My neighbor brought over an 8’ 1x4 piece of fir the contractors left after working on his house and asked if I could find a use for it. Of course being a woodworker I knew I could and decided to make something I needed/could share for others who may need to move stuff around in their small...
