The table saw is the center piece and work horse of most wood working shops, and for good reason. But it's power and efficiency can also lead it to wrecking projects, or you, in a hurry! Here I go over some of the most common mistakes that lead to accidents or poor results at the table saw.

This was really helpful information. As a newbie to wood shop at the ripe old age of 61, I have been watching every safety video I can find, as at my age the last thing I want to do is wreck myself, with something that I was intending to enjoy myself through a new found hobby. Thumbs up and cheers from Utah. Many thanks !

@YouCanMakeThisToo Год назад

That's fantastic, good luck on your new hobby and stay safe!

@ademkollari8992 Год назад

Hey Scorpion, this gives me hope. I am almost 48, wanted to take up the hobby, but was worried about my age. I admire your passion. Stay cool and healthy!

@BruceAUlrich 2 года назад

Definitely some good things to keep in mind...gotta be conscious!

@YouCanMakeThisToo 2 года назад

Always!

@calleeharris4182 2 года назад

Important stuff! I’m glad you are so careful and make sure the boys learn the importance of that as well.

@rashadfoux6927 2 года назад

This was really great. Thank you. It helped me physically understand what are the danger area's in table saw use, and why.

@YouCanMakeThisToo 2 года назад

Glad it was helpful! Being safe in the shop is super important. Especially once you're using big boy tools, things can go real bad before your brain even registers what happened... let alone react.

Caleb, you need to teach classes in woodworking. Your videos remind me of a shop teacher I had in high school. He taught from experience since he was missing a thumb and part of a pointing finger, he lost while not being safe and showing off to someone. Thanks for this video - stay safe.

@YouCanMakeThisToo 2 года назад

Thanks! Sorry to hear about your shop teacher. It only takes one lapse in judgment gone wrong to change things forever for you. Being able to do on site classes in my shop is a goal! I'm getting things set up for that. Believe it or not, the pool/pool house I'm working on now is actually part of that. Not having bathroom access near the shop is a big problem. If you don't mind... what kind of class and price point do you think would be attractive? Like.. weekend or week long, a project v diving into techniques, etc..

@robert.brokaw3829 2 года назад

@@YouCanMakeThisToo Thanks about my shop teacher - it never stopped him, and I admired that. When I was living in Indiana, I was a substitute teacher for the local Vocational school and there were both school related classes and then continuing education classes that were taught. They taught beginner to advanced classes. If it was part of the local school system, I believe they had a contract but for the continuing education classes it started at $100 for a weekend (3 day - 5 weekend and up to $500 a week for weeklong classes (4-week sessions) for the more advanced classes. Most of the teachers were carpenters and contractors that worked in the local area but were paid for teaching. I just wish they would bring back shop classes to the schools, because not everyone is college material and people still need things built. Sorry to ramble. Thanks for your time.

Great video with lots of helpful tips, Caleb. Thanks. One effective solution to help avoid many kickback situations you've described is the Jessem Clear-Cut TS Stock Guides. It's a great addition to any cabinet table saw. The rollers do a superb job of steering the wood towards the saw fence, resulting in safer and more consistent cuts.

@YouCanMakeThisToo 2 года назад

Thanks! Good tip, I've heard good things about those.

I whacked part of my thumb off many, many years ago on a table saw. I still use a table occasionally and generally think I know what I'm doing. But, damn, everyone should watch this video--probably once a month! Thank you for this great info and the rational reminders.The heads-up about the MJ Splitter is especially appreciated. Mine will be here Saturday!

@YouCanMakeThisToo 2 года назад

Sorry to hear that, but I'm glad it hasn't stopped you from enjoying the hobby. Hope that MJ splitter brings you some more safety and piece of mind, thanks for the feedback!

@markduggan3451 2 года назад

As someone who's lost the top of my thumb due to complacency, I'm glad you've shown this.

Very sorry to hear that. It's a sad truth we've always gotta keep in mind.

Excellent information. You start with 10 fingers, you should end with 10 fingers. I love my table saw, it's a cheapie and I still got all 10. Respect.

@YouCanMakeThisToo 2 года назад

Truth! I've been doing this about a decade before finally getting the fancy saw last year. Glad I didn't have any lapses before I was able to afford it.

@scottb.2022 2 года назад

Another suggestion is not to cut warped or twisted wood as there is the possibilty of movement after the wood is cut.

@YouCanMakeThisToo 2 года назад

If possible... absolutely. That's a good point though. Stuff shouldn't go through the table saw until it's at least S2S. And if it's real wild... bandsaw it first.

@enzprintco.8625 2 года назад

Slightly off topic, what needs to be adjusted when swapping a blade on the SawStop that makes you stick with a combo blade? Would hang gotten the saw if you were aware of this prior to buying? Thanks for a great video! Thank goodness I still have all 10!!!

@YouCanMakeThisToo 2 года назад

Whenever you change the blade you’ve gotta set the spacing between the brake cartridge and blade to ensure proper performance. It takes a hex key and spacer that lives on the saw and is less than 5 seconds and dead simple.. but it’s just enough to make me try a combo blade, especially after lots of good recommendations for the Klingspor I’m using. So far I don’t miss using dedicated blades. I knew about it before so it didn’t detract me from buying the saw at all. To me it was well worth the investment and easily the cheapest insurance I’ve ever paid for.

@wesvdub94 2 года назад

Just had a bad day on Saturday. Got lucky and only got one finger tore up. Doing a bunch of the same cut. Kicked back and destroyed my finger. Lesson learned.

@YouCanMakeThisToo 2 года назад

Ah man, so sorry to hear that. Wishing you a good recovery. That complacency during repetition can get you.. thanks for sharing.

@FearsomeWarrior 2 года назад

I get a weird sense of relief when I have a easy cut to do on the table saw. When I can just push it through and material is big enough to keep my hands far away. When I do some kind of narrow rip on thick material with the blade really high are the worst by far. The kind of cuts I should be doing on my bandsaw.

@YouCanMakeThisToo 2 года назад

I know what you mean! Definitely an underrated part of woodworking. Love it when I get to do something and it's like "yeaaahhh, this isn't sketch at all. This is the kinda cuts they show in tool advertisements."

@josephromero1596 2 года назад

Thought u weren’t supposed to use rip fence w cross cuts? Or is that only if ur using miter gage?

@YouCanMakeThisToo 2 года назад

Never if you're using a miter gauge. For safety it has to do with the dimensions of the board and not the grain orientation. Crosscutting means you're cutting across the grain... not necessarily just cutting across the short side.

@josephromero1596 2 года назад
