In this video, I discuss the problems I see far too often on youtube and the likes, with table usage and the lack of correct operation.
I also speak about an oversight I have observed with modern table saw design.

Thanks for sharing! I’d love to have a shop like you have there, so many great machines!

No worries. It is good, but too small for us. We need it to be half as big again to fit everything comfortably, just too expensive to have that.

Another great video. Nice to have more good information on RU-vid. Too many videos out there showing bad work practices! When i first moved to Canada i worked for a construction crew. I was amazed at all the (jobsite) table saws i would see without guarding. One day when one of the saws needed replacing, the project manager bought a new saw and brought it to site. I was busy hanging doors, but saw him unpack it and set it up. Later that day i went to use the saw, & the guard and riving knife was gone! I couln't believe it, and told the project manager when i saw him a couple of days later how they had been removed. To my disbelief, he told me he had removed them when he set the saw up & thrown them out with the packaging as they were useless and not needed!!! That was the last straw for me with that crew and that's when i left.

It just boggles my mind to not only see them without guards & riving knives, but to see people encouraging their removal. I know of too many people who have had bad accidents on saws and these are too important. Some machines have gone overboard with guarding, but not table saws. Thanks for sharing.

I've been using a table saw for the past 25 years. I've done some pretty stupid things with them and thankfully never had a problem. Just recently I had a very close call. I was free handing ripping some 2x4s. All of a sudden, as I was slowly pushing the lumber through I felt this intense vibration on the middle finger on my left hand. There was no mistaking what it was. Thankfully it just took a small patch of skin about 1mm deep off the tip of my finger. Not sure how I managed to get my finger into that position in the first place but it was a very eye opening experience.

That is often what people dont realise, it doesn't matter if you have done it a thousand times, it only takes 1 time to go wrong and it happens so fast. Often over before we know what happened. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Yep spot on, the fence should always be open about one good mil, even cutting melamine board it can grab not so much MDF but particle more. I think it's got to do with moisture in the material that's getting cut.

@DTJoinery 2 месяца назад

I haven't experienced it particularly with board, though I don't cut a lot of it. Thanks for the insight.

@@DTJoinery Yeah man we cut a lot of board, sometimes when ripping 8x4 sheets in the middle you end up with 2 bananas......😜board quality years ago was better.

@DTJoinery 2 месяца назад

@bccev770 Yeah, I get you there. White melamine these days is terrible, it used to be straight and arrissed, now days its crooked and sharp, cuts the hands when handling.

Great video dude! I’m just getting into woodworking and looking at table saws for down the line and the big thing these videos about guards are missing is pretty simple. When exactly does the guard have to/need to come off the blade?

@DTJoinery 2 месяца назад

Thanks. Sometimes, when you need to deep cut a piece of timber, it is necessary to remove the guard because you simply can't fit the timber underneath it. We do a lot of deep cutting, however, we never take it off, we simply just move it out of the way for that process. There is however, no justifiable reason to remove the riving knife.
