Great video, great tip, Rob. I just set my fence up this way 30 minutes ago. It solved more than one problem I have experienced for a long time. I have a modestly priced table saw; cannot foresee ever being able to afford a sawstop. Fortunately there is little or no slop in the blade mechanism. I did invest in a pretty good after-market fence. I meticulously set the fence up exactly parallel to the miter slots. I have always had problems with burning and nasty blade marks, even though I switched to a full kerf rip blade for hardwood. Even worse, the lumber always wanted to bind, and veer AWAY from the fence as I pushed it through. I just now ripped a 3 foot long piece of 2" hardwood (after doing Rob's setup), and both problems are gone. Much cleaner cut, and the piece fed through smoothly. And here all the while I had resigned myself to it being the fault of a mediocre table saw. But...no!...setup correctly, it works well. Thanks, Cosman, you're woodworkers' go-to guy for all kinds of instruction.

From your early days touring the shows in Halifax and elsewhere you must remember “Dave” selling Ridge blades and Accusquare fence systems. In Halifax he always was at the entrance when you entered the arena. His advice for fence setup was clamp the fence to the blade, then tighten the four nuts on the fence “red-faced” tight. Of course it meant using a quality blade like the Ridge blade. That blade has “almost” NO runout and the best blade I own. Forrest is second. After that, the LieNeilson dovetail saw you sold me that day!

In your earlier table saw video you mentioned that the only disadvantage to the Sawstop fence was that it lacked micro adjustment. Woodpeckers makes a product they call the Flip Stop system that provides micro adjustment, as well as other features you might find useful. I have it on my Saw Stop and like it a lot. Unlike many Woodpeckers tools, this one isn’t unreasonably expensive. Great videos; fun to watch a master at work.

I might give this a try. It is counterintuitive. I have ALWAYS been told too measure the same distance from the groove. I just finished watching a video that showed you how to make a jig to do so. Despite sharp blades I often would have saw marks and even scortching on the wood, especially near the last bit of length that I cut. I cracked it up to a crappy fence or maybe my blade isn't parallel or "straight" with the mitre groove. I heard you mention how to checkthat. I'm going to search your videos for that. Thanks.

Very helpful. One problem I've had when adjusting my sawstop fence (same as yours) is figuring out just how tight to make it when it is unlocked. I get a good bit of straightening that happens when I lock the handle down. Very finicky process. Thanks for sharing this and the other one about table alignment.

The screws that you mentioned that hold the laminated plywood fence faces go into t-nuts so they don’t strip easily. biesemeyer definitely designed the Best fence. There original fence was a little better built then SawStop. Bought my first fence from Bill Biesemeyer himself at is factory in 1984 and put it on an old Sears table saw. $350.

So what you really ideally want is a fence that is parallel to the front edge of the blade, and is then slightly relieved to give clearance?
@louisshambarger2230
@louisshambarger2230 2 года назад
What you do is simpler and just as good as my method. I use a surface gage and a dial indicator and drop the pins on the surface gage into the tee slot. If you do this you may find that the two faces of the rip fence aren’t perfectly flat. I use shim stock to get them as accurate as I can. I need new faces but the last time I checked, Saw Stop was out of rheum.
@RobCosmanWoodworking

You can do the alignment with a dial indicator. I dont I just use simple everyday tools

I have a Sawstop. I have to jiggle the handle a couple of times to ensure the fence is in its proper position and at the correct cutting distance before I fully lock the handle. There is slight lateral movement in the fence when I do this. Is this normal?

@RobCosmanWoodworking

Not so much as a band saw moves slower than a table saw, has different forces. with a band saw you have to align the fence to the natural drift in the saw. I will do a video on it

@richardc6932

Wouldn’t it have been better to get the fence square to the table top prior to aligning it to the mitre slot ?Then you would have an accurate face on the fence to set to.

@Nico-bu6bj
@Nico-bu6bj 2 года назад
A fence like this that you can't slide forward or backwards (away from you or towards you) is illegal in the EU and for good reason. When you do a rip cut you want to set the fence just past the middle of the blade so there's no chance of binding.

I see most of these "alignment" instructional videos use SawStop table saws, which I guess is great for those who have SawStops, but for us simple DIY'ers that can't afford/justify the cost of an expensive table saw, there's very little information out there... 😭
@63Ducati1
@63Ducati1 Год назад
I don't get your reluctance to say that you want the fence to be .004" out of parallel over the length of your slot. You avoid saying any dimension until you start using the paper as a shim that is "about four thousandths of an inch" to gauge the out of parallel. Then you put a piece of wood through with no marks and declared success. Only then do you say the fence is offset .004. What are the variables? Different blades will have different expansion. Ripping an 8 ft board will generate more heat as will harder woods. Constant speed is important and harder woods will require different speeds. But, from you video, .004 is the universal distance. Now, as much as it seems like I am disparaging your video, you are the first person that I have encountered to actually declare a distance and demonstrate it. The tips that you have DEMONSTRATED, not just declared in print or vocally, will provide me with enough information to proceed. If I am ripping a 12/4 oak piece 8 ft long, I'll make a test cut and if I am dragging on the exit, I need more offset. I have a 24 tooth rip blade that usually use on heavy rips as that described. I don't have a riving knife, but do have a splitter. The splitter (custom made) is .004 thinner than my blade which cuts .126 wide on my saw (runnout

@11211lcb 2 года назад
I cannot disagree with your misalignment of the rip fence more. I have seen this technique used before as a work around for an inexpensive blade and or saw that is marginal. I have the ICS SS and before that a Jet cabinet saw. My findings are that less expensive blades can benefit from misadjusting the rip fence if you are cutting a small amount off of the board. If you are ening up with a relative wide piece on the waste side, you end up with the tooth marks on that piece of wood. You have accomplished nothing. FWIW with a good quality blade I get smooth cuts with no tooth marks 80% of the time. Even the wood can change as it is cut. And I NEVER follow up with another tool to remove tooth marks other than a sander when and if necessary on the assembled project. If you are getting tooth marks on your wood with a fence set parallel to the blade you either have a saw issue, blade issue, case hardented wood issue or simply bad technique.

@@RobCosmanWoodworking Know what? Sixty thousand of your fellow countrymen are injured every year by table saws. Most would be prevented by a blade guard. Demonstrating use without one, by someone with the high reputation that you have, encourages such dangerous behaviour. 50 years of experience makes this less acceptable, not more.
