The Best Table Saw Accessories Money Can Buy! 

An in depth look at the Microdial has been posted! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sKdJySs3JiQ.htmlsi=NK9F59fH1VW34n0i

You do have to spend some time setting the saw up... blade, fence, etc. But once done, the saw is great. Fairly compact which is Nice ru-vid.comUgkxXh-4_3-ZT1fFWP91ZV7iVqzElr0lEb-a I did get an Incra Miter Gauge which takes some setup as well. The stock miter gauge can be adjusted in the miter slot with a little painter's tape... this tightens up the side to side play a lot.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it was my understanding that a featherboard should stop right before the blade. You don't want it pushing on the cut portion of stock into the blade and generating kickback similar to pieces pinched between blade and fence.

Would love to see a video dedicated to the tapering jig - looks great!!

I would like to see that micro jig tapering thingamabob get its own video

Thanks, love to see a video on the micro jig angle jig.

We endorse this video :) Seriously, nicely done.

Another safety item should be an outfeed table. If you are ripping a longer board you end up leaning out over the table and pushing down hard on your push block to keep the back of the workpiece from rising up. You are often simultaneously reaching out over the saw with your left hand to catch the offcut so it doesn't fall off the back of the saw. An outfeed table solves all those issues. And after you've made all your cuts it doubles as an assembly table.

The tapering jig looks cool. Please do a full deep dive video. And I just subscribed!

Bozo from the ghetto. I love you man! Always look forward to your content. Suggestion. Although you may have already done something like it. Setting up a new saw out of the box. Beginner stuff like kerf, smart ways vs dangerous cuts, etc.

Would like to see the tapering jig breakdown. I also think it would be great to see it compared to the kit to make your own tapering jig. MicroJig makes/sells both of those.

Great video. A detailed video on the tapering jig would be great.

Definitely would like a micro jig tapering video 👍

I have the plastic featherboards. They are ok, but the miter-slot tensioner inserts have serious problems. They are very weak. I replaced those with little plastic miter inserts with adjustable wooden ones of birch. [The digital angle finders are very useful.] So, I tend to shy away from plastic jigs and fixtures. They may be cheap. But, are flimsy. You get what you pay for.

Safety glasses holder?? You're so young - we oldies have prescription safety glasses that never leave our faces!😄😄

You never know when you'll pick up a tip or trick. I wasn't exactly sure what the point parts on my setup bars was for. Definitely will try from now on

Cool video: I use my Rigid magnetic feather board all the time; doesn't use the mitre slot, just grabs wherever you set it. Sadly, it isn't yellow but orange is close enough.

"Why would it be out of line? Because you put it through hell" Soooo true, 🤣

yes please on tapering jig video

Excellent video. I must buy the sled.

Thank you! This is an awesome video!

Something that is vital for safety if you use a tablesaw sled, especially on one that has a smaller top is an infeed support.

Good stuff man.. thabk you !!!

The feather board should be behind the blade not next to it. Kickback risk...

Yes, please do a tapering jig video.

I've had #1 for 30+years. I have and use the digital gage. I need to learn to use my Micro-Jig gripper. WOuld really like to see a vid on the taper jig.

I made my tapering jig about 25 yrs ago with a few scraps 2 carriage bolts, 2 washers, 2 wing nuts for probably less than a buck.

Thanks for the great video and one small thing your right side stop on the tapering jig is backwards. The two small bumps are the stop side.

Delta T1, best table saw ever! Mine is about 7 yrs old. You have not changed out the side of fence

Those digital angle gadgets look cool but are not sufficiently accurate for anything but rough cuts. I have that same push stick and it’s not too bad once I made the part that hooks over the wood bigger. It’s now worth the $3 I paid for it.

00:08:18 Did you adjust the blade height mid cud, while the saw was running?

new Subscriber here, outstanding video...cheers from Florida, Paul

I know lots of people love the digital angle finders but to build a box +/- 0.1 degrees x8 cuts makes it hard to get gap free miters. Calibrating the stops on the saw to be accurate is a much better solution and the argument that your saw gets so dirty you cannot rely on the stops makes me wonder how you can force it to 90/45 by using the angle finder.

You may have mentioned this in a previous video (if so, please point out that video), but where did you get the zero clearance? Did you make or purchase? I have the same saw and need to get the insert replaced. Thanks

Delta T IS DA SHIT!

Excellent video. Those tapering jigs are impossible to find in Aus. unfortunately...

What the hell. What is with the Phantom of the Opera framing on your video.?

Looks like push stick needs to be wide and lip deeper

As far as safety glasses go, since I now have to have reading glasses, I have gone to face shields! And they are better for people that don't wear glasses too!

Why buy, when you can make it yourself. Seems like a waste of money.

Hmmm… Why even suggest the first push stick then follow up with MicroJig’s? The “regular” push stick does NOT protect from hand injuries or preclude people being stupid with a push stick; the MicroJig does (and probably the only design anywhere that can be the ultimate finger and hand protector-that is not trumped by carelessness and stupidity. My mama and poppa always told me ya gotta use quality tools to reliably achieve consistent results-with a healthy dose of standard practices: woodworkers need to know and be situationally aware of what they are doing-all the time. While the miter gauge, setup blocks, tapering sled, etc., that you suggested are good; there are other more high end and functional options. I cannot mention names because either you or the RU-vid police will delete my comment for mentioning other brands. One thing feather boards do not do well, or at all, largely because wood is too thick, is the inability to hold down wood, from the top, against the table top (and, supplementally, against the fence). Jessem has a great option, and Incra fences that I use have T-slots to allow feather boards for boards 1"± thick; some RU-vidrs really dislike Jessem’s solution. My opinion is something is better than nothing: their solution works great for me-on both my router table and table saw. However, installing the Jessem on an Incra fence is a real challenge. Relative to miter sleds, again, there are other options that allow exact and repeatable angled cuts. You have a great list, I prefer to bump up the repeatability factor with more expensive accessories.

What would "looking ghetto" actually look like?

Don’t look so “ghetto?” Not sure about the appropriateness of that word…

You buy all that crap a skilled craftsman doesn't need that junk and would probably do a better job without that junk

If you have money to pay for over priced accessories.

C'est bien se compliquer la vie avec tout un tas de trucs dont on peut très bien se passer. Les rois du marketing ne manquent pas d'imagination pour nous créer de faux besoins. Business is business.

saftey glasses? i just close my eyes.

Yeah. Can’t see who pays you at all. Seriously.

all of these i dont need

That tapering jig is ridiculous and nobody uses Micro Jig anymore except the people they sponsor and I'm pretty sure they don't even use them off camera.....they are so cumbersome and fiddly.....and buy a push stick? You got a free one and if you are so dumb that you'd forget to use a wooden one you won't use the 100$ one either

Can you get a tripod so your face is not so close to the camera we can count your nose hairs?

The safety glasses holder is not as convenient as my nose. Just sayin’!

dont buy the kreg miter gauge, get the jessem

Thank you very much for this video. I vote for a video on the Microjig Microdial Precision Tapering Jig (yes, that is it’s official, very long name). I was happy to get reinforcement that I made the right decision to buy this. I probably should have waited a little bit because I am just starting the whole woodworking thing, but Amazon had it for $93 approximately one or two weeks ago, and it just seemed like the right thing to do. I agree that safety has to be the number one priority. I am a RN, and safety first is drilled into our heads from day one of nursing school. I have also seen some things that could have been avoided, often by doing something fairly simple. I will be honest, I was wondering if this was the “right” or “best” tool for what it does, mostly because it’s plastic, which is fine. I would rather have an excellent tool made out of plastic and pay $100 for example, then have it be made out of metal, and pay $250.
