  1. My Wooden Table Saw Fence

    As a hobbyist on a very tight budget, I have to look for bargains in used tools. So when I got the opportunity to pick up a vintage Craftsman saw for $35 to replace my el cheapo jobsite saw, I jumped. Of course the downside of most of these old saws is the frustrating fence (if it's even still...

    The Desk lamp is another design made popular by Frank Lloyd Wright and is seen in many of his houses. The May House in Grand Rapids, Michigan was one place that featured this style.
  3. A Delta T2 fence for my Craftsman tablesaw

    I have a Craftsman TS (model 315.228390) with an original fence that is extremely difficult to adjust. I wanted to upgrade it to a better fence. Incra LS32 was what I had in mind originally but after some more consideration I have to give up that idea simply I don't have that much room on the...
  4. New Fence Blade Alignment

    My Instructables on how to improve a crappy table saw generated quite a few comments that it did not show the actual build up process especially the fence mechanism, so as promised I am building the fence again because i what to change the fence stop. I'm using another saw so before building...

  6. Hand Tools
    This tool serves several functions. It can be used as: - an edge stop for L-squares; - a wide gap depth gauge; and, - as a set up tool for table saws. This tool allows the user to, easily, lay out lines at ninety degrees off a straight edge using a standard L-square. Using it is far...

    Hey guys! Over the last several years I've been working on a pet project of mine: an automated table saw fence. I do a lot of high end cabinetry work and just got tired of messing with a fence all day. Tap a little to left, now to the right, no too far, back to the left, you know the drill. So...

    After my table saw accident I've been a little gun shy when using it to cut miters by tilting the blade. I have a right tilting TS, no riving knife and a Unifence like this. I haven't been happy with this fence for a long time due to the the way you have to take it apart to use it on the other...

    I'm having issues getting a full lock on my Vega U-26 table saw fence. Unless I really wrench down hard on the locking handle it tends to loosen up and shift. Not much worse than a wandering table saw fence. Any tips or tricks?

    I did ask this last night and didn't get any response so I'll try again. I need to use what seems excessive force when engaging the main fence lock. If I don't do this the fence wanders out of adjustment. Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.

    Building the box My old fence extension table was just a piece of 3/4" MDF with plastic laminate on top. 8+ years with a PC7518 hanging from it put a pretty good sag in it. I reinforced it with some 1×6 poplar, but that was a temporary fix. Since it's my main router table, I need something...

    Free is a 4 letter word A few months ago, my husband and I got a tablesaw (among other things) from an aunt that was clearing out after years of hoarding…I mean, collecting stuff at estate sales. We'd never had a tablesaw before, so we were pretty excited to get it, even knowing that it was far...

    Atlas Table Saw Model S8ES Picked up this guy at the local recycling center for $10. Motor is a little slow to start (capacitor?) and if any pressure is applied to the pulley with my hand it stalls. I have (2) 113 craftsman tablesaw motors, 1hp and 1.5 hp that I can put on it but would rather...
