So I get a text from the guy I got the Unisaw from. It says he has a few tools that I might be interested in..... Best I can tell, there's 11 table saws, 2 jointers, a cute little band saw and an even cuter lil' drill press. Boxes of parts and a pile of motors... Anyone need parts??

Unlike many in my industry I do not like tying up a drawer in my box with charging stations. Considering how many different chargers a drawer is just not good use of precious drawer space. The top of my box however, it is fair game. Developed this to handle all my charging needs plus room to grow as more are needed. Made from plywood edge banded with pine. Fo the face I used roofing tin gluing it down with contact cement. A nice addition to the shop. Gets cut off by main power switch each night so no batteries charging when I am not there. Can't forget it, my overhead light is in the mix so I would see the light on before I close up shop each night.

Table Saw Throat Plate Fix
4DThinker posted a topic in Machinery, Tools, Research, Reviews and Safety
The throat plate on my table saw is unsupported on the end next to the blade opening, and flexes down when I'm cutting narrow strips. The strips often catch on the table lip which had been a nagging and dangerous problem since I bought the saw. Today I set out to either fix that problem or put the table saw on facebook market to to get rid of it. There is a blade housing edge below this area. I measured how thick it was, how far below the table surface it was, and how thick the throat plate was at the spot. I cut a slot the bottom end of a 1" wood dowel to slip over the blade housing, and stood it up to support the throat plate. I got lucky on my first try and for now will be keeping this saw. Wish I'd gotten to this 10 year ago though. 4D

I had built some cabinets last fall and finally started the doors this week. They are a simple flat panel/shaker style but the M&T is a first go for me. It's all done with a dado setup on the table saw. There are a total of 20 doors, with 1/2" overlay. I wanted to share this to let others know that no special jigs are needed to make doors using this method. After ripping the stiles and rails, I made the 1/4" dado groove for the recessed panel and the tenons. Then clamped the stiles to the work table at the proper width. The stiles are not cut to length yet. I measured the length for the rails plus the total 1/2" for the tenon depth. Several trials and small adjustments at the saw to get a decent fit. Cutting the panels to fit and the stiles to length tomorrow and ready for glue up.

I often need to cut or recut several small pieces way too small to hand hold and pass through the table saw. To accomplish this safely and cut several at once I take a length of straight flat board lay down a strip or two of double sided tape as needed and stick as many of the small pieces as possible to the straight board. I leave a couple of inches on the lead end and a couple of inches on the trailing end to make the entry and exit safer. I use this double sided tape it holds like super glue, this stuff www.amazon.com/dp/B07BBL4JXJ To get a release you can simply try to twist twist the pieces to shear the tape grip but if the pieces are small or delicate use some denatured alcohol on the tape it will release nice with just a little twist or prying up with a thin edge. Best to replace the tape for each run. The picture shows the setup calabrese55

Thinking New Table Saw Time
honesttjohn posted a topic in Machinery, Tools, Research, Reviews and Safety
My old Craftsman (13 model) keeps giving me fits. Pulleys won't stay lined up and that leads to a lot of vibration and heat. Looking at a new replacement table saw. I don't need anything fancy so a low end entry level small shop one should work ($1200 +/-). I also have to get it down to the basement and the doorway is 29 inches wide. Been considering the Laguna F1, but there seems to be a quality and alignment with them. The Grizz 962 looks promising, but the fence isn't the greatest ----- but I have a Vega fence on the Craftsman if it'll fit. Also looked at the Delta from Lowes, but there seems to be a motor problem with them. Jet is a maybe, too. There seems to be some type of problem with all of them. Any opinions on where to spend my money? -
Raising the height of my table saw - a lot
Bob Hodge posted a topic in Machinery, Tools, Research, Reviews and Safety
I am a very tall guy, now with six spinal fusions. I cannot lean over lest more will be required. By the rule of thumb to have the table saw height at your elbow, I must raise this almost ten inches. This is basically a contractors saw in a cabinet (the sales guy actually talked me out of a Unisaw for what I do because most is on a lathe). It does what I want just fine. I can build some simple riser frame or platform yet I wonder a bit about stability. The saw sits on the outside black frame, though I suspect there may be some feet underneath (except I can't get to them without bending over and lifting it. I will bet there is wisdom and experience on this topic that would help me do something great and simple, and inexpensive. Thanks ahead of time. Next up will be my router table. I've got my Laguna lathe raised a bit and will do it some more, with several friends (400 pounds)

NOBODY HARMED, NO BLOOD. Could of been worse, this guy was standing in the correct position, and using a push block. The only thing is, he may not have been holding down the strip as well with his block. Hmmm. But kudos for staying safe. Nother lesson, never walk behind a table saw while in operation!

Router extension wing for table saw
JimM posted a topic in Machinery, Tools, Research, Reviews and Safety
Continuing to set up my new small shop. I previously had two table saws with a router extension wings and I always liked the idea. Not wanting to spend $$, I found this plan... https://www.woodworkersjournal.com/make-router-table-extension-table-saw/ I did modify it in a couple of small ways - I had no laminate scraps (you always need whatever you recently discarded), so I used some 1/4" ply with several coats of poly. And I already had the DC set up with a 4" hose, so I just used that size connector (powertec on Amazon.) Anyway, here's the result...

The US Government is About to Change Table Saws

Just a heads up if you are thinking of buying a Table Saw in the near future. -
Anyone remember when these were the rage? One for sale here for $20

It appears that Festool has come out with a table saw, well a small one as it fits in a Systainer? Hard to get too much data on it. May not be available in US or Canada and might have some SawStop technology. Cordless job site saw? https://www.misterworker.com/en-us/festool/18v-4ah-cordless-table-saw-csc-sys-50-ebi-basic-576820/75577.html

Hello. I have an older Delta 34-740 I was building a chicken brooder box and the motor quit. The blade spins free but I don't know what to you or how to get a replacement motor. I'm in East TN. Thanks! Shona

I searched for Harvey table saw and had 0 results. I was wondering if anybody here has one. I just bought one today and it hasn’t shipped yet. I have watched a lot of reviews on YouTube and all are very good. I bought the table saw with the router extension table and dust collection box for the router. The only table saw I have owned so far is my wife’s dads from the 1960’s that is around 18” square. This one should be a big difference.

Big Brother is Coming to Your Shop
calabrese55 posted a topic in Machinery, Tools, Research, Reviews and Safety
Government regulation will change woodworking forever from your garage to the largest users of table saws. I am not taking any shots at SAWSTOP if you like one buy one but soon big brother will make you buy a SawStop or something just like it . This video hit YouTube less than one hour ago. calabrese55 -
I just saw this Delta Unisaw listed on Facebook Marketplace. It looks identical to mine and mine is a 1947 build. Great saw and the seller is asking $350. It is currently wired for 110 but that is easy to fix and you would want to upgrade the fence. For $500 you could have a heck of a saw. Located in Ft. Wayne Indiana. I love the art deco of the switch plate.

Paoson Woodworking (Mobile Work Station)
John Morris posted a topic in Machinery, Tools, Research, Reviews and Safety
I stumbled across this fellow and love what he does for DIY shop implements. I thought I'd post it here to give some folks inspiration, this fellow is brilliant in his planing. Have fun! Also, you can go to his YouTube channel and see how he builds this masterpiece, and many of his other jigs and holders and home made this and that. Here is his channel: Paoson Woodworking, he is a luthier like our own @Woodman. One thing I noticed about Woodman and other luthier's is they are very meticulous and clean with their work, and it makes sense, to build intricate pieces like violins and such, requires a meticulous mindset and surroundings. Also, here is Paoson's website, looks like he'll sell you the plans for the masterpiece work station. He also has quite a few freebies too! -
Learn something new every day, a Shopsmith table saw! I have also seen a Shopsmith traditional work bench too that looked pretty robust. Found this saw on the Shopsmith sales group on Facebook. The owner says this one has the under-table Radial Arm Saw capacity. Huh!!!! Who woulda thunk!

From the album: The Patriot Woodworkers with Operation Ward 57 Adopt a Wounded Warrior Family for the Holidays - 2022
The new Laguna Fusion line was developed for demanding woodworkers. Designed around quality components with an emphasis on superior dust collection enhanced by utilizing over/under collection & sealed bottoms. All models are equipped with a precision fence, plus the F2 & F3 feature the Hi/Low aluminum extrusion known from European saws. The hybrid fence on the Laguna Fusion offers the best of European and American fence features. This fence is NOT designed to be used on the LEFT side of the blade! Rail or tube on the LEFT side is provided only to make the ON/OFF switch position. Permanently lubricated bearings & Acme screws are part of the internal DNA. Fusion 2 is the true successor to the original Fusion Table Saw. The task was simple: make a saw that was more refined, more precise, and cleaner.
