Around here, we pronounce it DAY-doe but... you be you. I have this exact table saw and also have a limited amount of space. I recently replaced the splayed legged stand with a rolling cart that doesn't try to trip me every time I try to walk around it. Folding out-feed and side support tables are next on my TDL.
Haha. Ya. I actually know that and I've been working to correct it. Saying it wrong seems to be a hard habit to break. Yes, the folding outfeed table was a huge improvement. I have plans for it as well as other stuff for that saw on my website, if you're interested. Www.howidothingsdiy.com
On my sled I painted the cube blade guard bright red and out an inch or so either side as a visual guide where NOT to put my fingers and thumb when pushing the sled.
It’s pronounced daaaaado - long a sound, like date - not like dad, had, bad. Nice description - and reminder - of basic accessories. Some things, I keep putting or forgetting to do. Time to get caught up. Thanks and best wishes!
Hahaha...ya...I know. Can't change the whole video now. Thanks for the comment!

Hello my friend, Yeah. We need all of these. These are great accessories when using a table saw. And I've done all of them. I now use a comfortable table saw. Thank you for sharing the details. See you. Stay healthy and happy. big greetings
I've had the DWE7491XE (240v 1ph version) for a couple of months - wanna make beehives, workshop cupboards and drawers, and much more. I only see dado stacks in US videos, and it's been hard to find guidance on what to use. I'm heaps glad that you made this video coz it's exactly what I plan to do and with that exact same saw. Gotta good look at that dado set 8" Freud. Only question - have you noticed if the spindle locknut stays tight on the dado stack? Since the saw has electric braking, I wonder about the inertia of the rotating mass of the stack perhaps loosening the spindle nut. I also read that over-tightening the nut can distort the blade. About to watch the outfeed table video - Thx for taking the time to make short sharp videos.
Thanks for watching! I haven't had an issue with the dado set loosening the lock nut, but I also don't notice any braking when the saw is turned off. Could that be a new feature that my saw doesn't have?
I call my tapering jig a mitre sled as well. It was designed to be tapering / cross cut / mitre sled. Mitre is jus a different angle than taper if you think about it. It can have some fix angle template to make setup easy.
Are the plans on your website for this outfeed table updated for the bevel issue you encountered? Just ordered my saw and want to build this outfeed table
Yup! You can find all of my plans for the folding outfeed table and more at this link: howidothingsdiy.com/plans Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
Hey buddy, I purchased your plans to make the outfield table and I'm thinking about making your crosscut sled too. I'm curious though if the (forgive me I can't think if the term) part of the cross cut sled that hangs down and rides in the miter slot will hit your outfield table if the outfield table is in the lowered and or raised position. Thanks in advance!!
Yes, It will hit. I typically just fold down the outfeed table when I use the crosscut or box joint sled. If you don't want to do that you can router some clearance slots in the out feed table. I personally didn't want to weaken the outfeed table with the slots.
@@HowIDoThingsDIY I used my band saw to make "J" shaped hangers that fit the frame below the fence rack and pinion. Then I used angles like you did for the bottom. Works great. The "J" shape lets the frame hang, removing the need to drill the frame. I can't post a pic here. But basically your design, but "J" shaped vertical pieces that hang, removing the need for drilling.
So it was miter sled Sunday here… We have the same saw so I thought I would give you free access to my discoveries… no one would pay for them just sayin’ 1) My miter slots had a bit of manufacturing slag in them. I ran a 400 grit diamond plate on all four miter slot sides about 25 quick passes with a little water. That really helped. 2) There was this odd stickiness at ends of each slot. A quick measurement showed indeed the ends of the slots came in just a bit. More diamond plate, another 20 or so passes focusing on each of the ends. Cleared that up now my runners run great end to end. 3) I used oak on one sled. Plastic on the other. Why? because I heard goods and bads on each. I’ll let you know if anything wonky happens with either. Both are currently good. 4) Both sleds are creating great 90 degree cut or dados You may be wondering why the diamond plate and not something else. Truth is it seemed like the flattest mildly abrasive thing I could think of without doing some high grit sandpaper shenanigans. I also noticed when starting a 10 inch the blade actual wobbles about 1/64 of an inch left to right. I only mention this if you or anyone else needs to stop a precision cut in the middle it is better ( and safer) to back the piece and slide in after the cut is started. Else there will be a wide spot like in my crosscut sleds 0 clearence, now near 0 clearence. 😅 Lastly, I double checked that my fence, miter slots, and blade are all parallel an perpendicular to the saw top. I made sure my sled base was square then used the fence to align the sled base to the sled runners. No secondary fence adjustments needed. I will verify with the 5 cut method if I find something is off. Happy sawdust creation Sunday! You need a Patreon, just sayin’
Excellent work! Sounds like you really have it dialed in. As far as the miter slot guide rails, I've found plywood works pretty well because its more stable than the hardwood. I've also been wanting to try UHMW plastic. Seems it would be nice and slippery yet stable with changes in temperature and humidity. Thanks for adding this info in my comments!
@@HowIDoThingsDIY Have you had a problem with hardwood for the rails? I debated using plywood myself but was concerned about the plywood flaking over time. Another thing I want to try is mdf or melamine with edge banding. Figured what would be slippery, stable and durable. More effort to get the rails the right width. So many options… when do I stop making things for shop and start making things for inside the house, gifts? 😂🤣😂
Thanks for watching! That's defiantly one of my favorite jigs. I do have downloadable plans at a very reasonable price on my website if your interested. Otherwise my box joint video should be very helpful! howidothingsdiy.com/printable-pdf-plans/ols/products/box-joint-jig-plans
Thanks for your most informative videos. I need to be resourceful in my endeavours to make a Beehive box from Merbau . It has given me great ideas and a start towards my project Keith ( Australia)
I just found your channel. Fantastic content! I just ordered the dewalt table saw and you are giving me so many accessory ideas. This will be a huge upgrade from my old craftsman table saw. Thanks for the great content.
I really appreciate that! I'm sure you got this, but I have plans for this as well on website and Etsy. I'm sure you can figure this one out with the video. www.howidothingsdiy.com
Awesome vid! I need to make this outfeed table! Checking that out next. It looks to have really solid and positive lockup. I’m curious to see how you did that. Btw, did you consider a 6” vs 8” before you decided to go with the 8” dado stack? I’ve heard that any contractor saw in general should stick to a 6” dado set. I bought a 6” set based on that advice. I haven’t used it yet and I’m still debating if I should return it for an 8” set. I have the same saw as you.
Thanks. I haven't heard that but I also haven't had any issues with my 8" dado set. If you're interested, here's a link to my outfeed table plans. Otherwise you can just follow along with my video where build it. howidothingsdiy.com/printable-pdf-plans/ols/products/dewalt-dwe7491-folding-outfeed-table-plans
My channel is all about my journey, and I produce well-informed videos to entertain and teach. Thank you for the comment! I look forward to seeing your content.
What specific blade(s) are you using with your saw? Just got the same one and I want to upgrade the stock blade but not sure which way I'm going to go.
I use Feud blades. One is a heavy duty rip blade with a flat kerf. amzn.to/3ufJS3l The other is a combination blade for cross cuts and rips. amzn.to/3KV60FY On a side note, if you just got this saw, I've made a bunch plans of fixtures and jigs for it on my website. I only charge $5/each. Have a look if you like. howidothingsdiy.com/printable-pdf-plans
@@HowIDoThingsDIY Thanks! I've already got your outfeed table plans! Did you consider a 50T ATBR combo blade vs the 50T ATB that you linked to? Or maybe a 40T ATB general purpose?
I did not, but I've been pretty happy with these. If you find a blade you like better, please come back here and leave a comment for everyone. Obviously, there are better blades, but for the money, I've been happy with these for now. Make sure you clean them every now and then. It makes a big difference.
I want them all! Great video! The feather board looks really handy. I put a GRR-RIPPER on my Christmas wish list, but could I use the feather board instead? Do they both work in a similar way by pushing the wood against the fence?
I'm not familiar with the Gripper, but yes, it pushes the workpiece against the fence. I have an Amazon link to the one I used in the video in my description.
