Everyone thinks you need a multi-thousand dollar table saw to do professional-level woodworking but you can get clean and accurate results with just a couple of simple jigs. Here are the 3 jigs I think every woodworker should start out with on a table saw to get better results.
Thanks to today's sponsor The Home Depot for making videos like this possible. You can find links to some of the awesome items I used in this video at the links below.

Although I have made these jigs before, it's always good to watch other techniques. An example is that I always made my runners the same depth as the slots. Your idea works much better!

@patrickfouhy9102 4 года назад

That was awesome. I'm a fairly experienced woodworker, but I've always worked for people who had every tool and jig imaginable so I've never needed much to get my work done. Lately, I've moved to a new city, and my collection of quite basic tools makes it a bit of a challenge to complete many of the jig building videos online because almost all of them require a half a dozen tools I don't have. haha. Thanks for making this so someone starting out in their tool collection can play along as well.

@@Morgoroth37 if you have a piece of wood that doesn’t have a straight edge to make an accurate cut against the fence from, you need to make a straight edge.

Most tools are "insanely" out of my price range also, however, I have found a lot of great deals at yard/estate sales, pawn shops and other market place searches. Recently I acquired a $150 Bostitch 18 gauge nailer for $25 at a pawn shop. And, at another pawn shop, I got a trim router for $35. I forget how much that one was originally. Most shops don't really know what they are selling and are more interested in moving the items out of the shop.

@brendan2599 8 месяцев назад

Nice, concise video. Thanks. For longer "jointed" rips I like to hotglue one edge of the board to my 6 foot level and then use the level as a straight edge along the fence. It's important to use the cupped or concaved side so that it won't rock (can be done without the glue as well). Then I pop the level off, flip the board and cut my parallel edge using the newly minted jointed edge.

Not really. I have a HF saw I got for around $50 new, years ago. Crap, right? I make saw sleds for my sawing and I get dead on cuts with them. Also I put a bridge over the blade so the only way my fingers could get bit by the blade is if I laid my hand flat, and slid it under the bridge. Also put stops on front and back, so the blade never shows, and impossible to get cut. I value my fingers, this guy apparently has fingers to spare.

This will be incredibly useful since I got my first table saw as a gift from my dad, and it's the metabo HPT version of this, so everything will be very useful since I'm basically a hobby hand tool woodworker who absolutely hates crosscutting and jointing (including that zero clearance insert, which the dado insert from metabo is kind of rare to find, so being able to make one is a great idea)

@Not_TVs_Frank 4 года назад

Do note that you *can* extend the slot in your zero clearance insert to accommodate a riving knife. It's totally worth the effort. That means I can use the zero clearance with the riving knife, blade guard, and kickback pawls. I _never_ have to choose between safety and better quality cuts.

@condor5635 4 года назад

Great job thanks for posting. Really should use push plates with handles on them to push your material through. You are way to comfortable getting your hand too close to the blade as you push through. The push handles give you very positive downward and fence pressure along with forward pressure. Just some advice. Love the jigs! Thanks

@WoodWorkLIFE 4 года назад

You're right although it's not as unsafe as it looks. There is a concept called lense compression that causes object to appear closer together when you are zoomed in a lense. My fingers are never really THAT close to the blade.

@briangrogan910 4 года назад

Pretty cool Jigs! I have the same table saw set up. It is awesome saw and a great value. I was curious why on so many of your cuts that your blade appears so much higher than the wood?

@WoodWorkLIFE 4 года назад

I usually raise the blade until the gullets are even with the surface but with plywood higher blade setting reduces tearout. Not great for safety, but I steer clear of the blade.

@LordPadriac 4 года назад

It is a never settled argument over what blade height above the wood is best or safest. The only real benefit to having the blade super low is less blade exposed to the user. However if we're using using proper techniques and push sticks and the like then having the blade higher isn't really any safer than having the blade lower. Also using a blade guard makes the argument against having the blade too high to reduce the chance of blade contact a completely moot point anyway. The argument for having the blade higher is that you have less teeth in contact with the work at any given time reducing the friction the blade has against the wood which reduces the overall forces trying to push the wood off of the saw top.

@uuuultra 4 года назад

Just got about 1/8" higher than the wood (accounting for bowed plywood 😉)

@raymondbrown6424 2 года назад

Old school of thought was use blade slightly higher than material be cut. Fast forward 20 plus years and that is no longer the recommended practice . Raising the blade higher helps hold down the material.

@bh7926 3 года назад

Try routing out a grove and using a yard stick as an "inlay." I did the same thing on a fence extension I did for my miter saw and I'll be doing it with an assembly table I'm building soon. I would recommend cutting off a quarter inch so the edge isn't riding next to the blade on every cut. Also, use the aluminum yard sticks. They won't wear as fast as the wooden ones and the material is soft enough to cut with an old miter saw blade.

When making a wooden throat plate, always have the top grain running parallel with the blade. It's a small detail, but it does make for smoother cuts. Another trick is to saturate the cut edges of the ply to stabilize the laminates; makes it much more durable.

@chriselliott726 4 года назад

@@1995rwt I am afraid you are badly informed my friend. Perhaps take a look on RU-vid for videos about severed hands and fingers as a result of kickback accidents - if you have the stomach for it. Kick back can throw work back at you causing severe injury or death, but equally drag your hand into the blade. I would also say that those wedded to zero clearance throat plates and no riving knife do not routinely change their setup for different thickness materials. I sometimes remove the top guard on my machine for groove cuts, but never the riving knife. That is reckless, but of course you are entitled to put your own safety on the line if you choose to do so.

@1995rwt 4 года назад

Chris Elliott anyone using something incorrectly is libel to injure themselves. What is the point of a zero clearance insert other than to better handle stock that would normally get caught between the throat plate and the blade, or maybe even between the throat plate and the riving knife. I’ve seen kickback before, experienced it once thankfully to no personal injury. I’ve also cleaned bits of fingertips out of jointers before, I get how dangerous tools can be but a zero clearance insert with a riving knife won’t work for the thing that zero clearance inserts are useful for which is ripping thin veneers out of larger boards.

Hate to pick on nits, but those little round thingies you called "bolts" at 1:31 - most of the world calls those nuts. But hey, maybe it's just me - I'm the nutty one...

Sadly, my woodworking days are behind me (a dose of cancer really screws up life-plans!) but my gear lives on with my brother. I enjoy watching what you do, and appreciate little tips I can pass on. THAT is why I watch your show. I mean, if we were all perfect, well, what fun would that be?! Like I said, I'm in the front of the "screw-up" line!!! (no offense to screws or nails intended...)

Not to beat a dead horse but "Whip Whip!". I am still healing from losing the top 1/4 of my left index finger from a table saw injury. I appreciate the video but man, careful. I am 47 and never thought I would be one with a stubby finger from a table saw. "Wont happen to me". well...

The spacers you added to the miter slots are called *nuts*. Bolts are the the longer things that nuts screw onto. Important to get that right when building stuff I think.

No riving knife fitted is asking for a kickback! Plus fingers rather too close to the blade for comfort...always use a push stick if you want to keep those digits!

@brianandbrooke22 3 года назад

Riving knife has to be removed in order to raise the blade up thru the boards. There was one cut with the 45 degree bevel that his fingers were somewhat close to the blade but he would have lost some control with a push stick if he had used a push stick. All other cuts were with the sled. As general advise, yes riving knife and push sticks are the safest but there are times when there use doesn’t make sense and even times when they raise the risk of an accident occurring.

@Mosessousa1 2 года назад

I agree. I used to have problems with kickback when I bought my Dewalt table saw years ago and removed it and have never had a single time since where I’ve had a problem with kickback. If you know how to feed the stock thru the saw, the riving knive preventing kickback is just a myth if you ask me

I'm not sure if many folks need to taper 2×4 lumber along it's 3-1/2" face, but I needed to and couldn't have done so without a jig I made (didn't see such so maybe I invented it?). So for me my solution became an essential table saw jig. Problem was that a 10" table saw barely cuts a standing 2×4. So, putting it atop the usual taper jig leaves the saw blade too short for the job. My solution was to make a split fence jig from plywood. The back fence laminates two 1/2" pieces 3"×40" and single piece front fence is the same size. The two are joined at the back end by a hinge. Near the front end, a hole is drilled through to accept a 5/8-16 tee-nut and the back side was counter-bored to accept a 5/8" socket wrench. Various length 5/8-16 screws give a range of taper angles. (Since the back fence will ride the table saw's fence, the bolts cannot protrude.) The screws maintain the desired angle against the front fence by the spacer they create between them. The last two pieces are (1) a small heel on the front end of the front fence and (2) a sliding lock on that end to lock the two together to fix the taper. The workpiece rests on the saw table with the hinged end of the fence first. The back fence rides along the saw's fence. The small heel pushes the workpiece through the cut. The taper line penciled on the workpiece is parallel to the back fence. The only caveat is to use infeed support for long tapers. Also a handle can be attached to the top of the back fence if desired TDinDC

I could barely hear what he is trying to explain. Too distracted by how unsafe he is being.

@cethhannis1929 2 года назад

I second this, no one is impressed by your ability to place the ONLY fingers you'll EVER have close to the table saw blade, riving knife or not, it's not a smart move bro.
