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

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? -
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!

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...

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.

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.

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. -
I'm looking for advice and suggestions about how and where to sell. Do I refurbish, all or partial? What about shipping away from my location? How to price? I have my father's woodshop equipment bought in 1948 (have original invoices). Includes table saw, scroll saw, band saw, shaper, wood lathe, grinder, drill press, and belt sander, located in Washington State.

Courtesy of Wood Magazine. Some good stuff if you are considering add ons. I was a bit surprised by the similarity of Rockler, Woodcraft, and Grizzly tenon jigs. They all look like knock-offs of my older Delta one (~25-30 years old) Even "Setup/Allignment Guages" [sic] Or maybe they meant alignment gauges Get The Most From Your Portable Tablesaw Wood.pdf -
Backstory: For various circumstances, I have not been to a yard/ garage sale for over 2-1/2 years and very few flea market rather in/out doors either. I have connected and become more proficient with on-line auctions, although I limit myself travel distance wise as well when a "Buyers Premium" is charged. One of the first I participated on was mid December 2019. Actually bidding opened in mid-November. I suppose the time of the year (just prior to Christmas), the weather, the over-whelming variety and amount of stuff (not so much in tools, as restaurant items, crafts items, flea market etc., etc.), lot types, sizes, location etc., held many back from bidding. Anyway a few items caught my attention especially near the end of auction close time. Anyways, I "won" a few items gloat worthy. From the pictures, you'll see items which were in an old (1880's), multi-story building which took up a full 1/2 city block within a small community in the county East of us about 25 miles away. Two days before auction item pick-up, we were blessed with 8-10" of snow. IIRC, I picked these up on the 17th of December. Since my trailer was under snow with temperatures hovering around 15*, at the last minute, I rented an enclosed 10' U-Haul trailer. The cost of it was $19.99 + taxes/6 hours but in the end, worth the added cost. My oldest grand-daughter had just come home from college for Christmas break so she got to help. That drove the cost some besides gas, since I felt compelled to feed her at Wendy's after we unloaded. I purchased everything shown from these photos. I did not travel to the site on Preview day (extra cost). Just so you know, I've already paid the price several times over for this "gloat" starting the next day after unloading. I was sick with the flu through Christmas that year. So two smaller tables, maple tops; IIRC one on the left is 42" L x 32" wide; right one, 48" L x 32" wide; both a full inch thick. both have cast iron bases The one on the left has a single turned pedestal from 4x stock; one on the right a larger built segmented pedestal (not shown); The next 3 tables are pretty much identical; nearly 8 ft long and IIRC, 38" wide. either a 4/4 or 5/4 thick tops. All I know these are HEAVY. Dumb me, in the haste to rent a trailer, clean out the back of the truck and get going, I forgot my moving dollies. Bad move because... ...this one we had to carry pretty much a half block plus from the far corner of the front of the building to the far corner to far rear corner; kid earned her Wendy's. This one never had a finish applied; short, long term plan is to make myself a genuine woodworking bench from it once I get a place to set/use it. All 5 tables were in one lot. I almost didn't bid on these for fear I would win. However, I did. Hope I didn't get burned too bad? Total cost with internet bid premium 59 cents. Next, there were a couple of Craftsman table saws. These were the only pictures. The one on the left I could tell was either an 8", 9" or perhaps even 10." That evidence was based on the aluminum ribbed table. Odds were good it was a direct drive vs a belt drive. From the pictures looked dirty but otherwise in pretty decent shape. The one on the right obviously is a 10." In fact, it looked to be the same era (1977-78) as mine, so cast iron, belt drive. I could see some rust on the saw table base, but if it went right, worse case would be a good parts mule for mine. Now, I didn't need one, let alone two table saws, but hey, since I was going anyway for the tables, placed a max bid of $15/ea; won both at $11/ea plus internet premium of $1.98/ea so all in on two table saws + 5 tables was $26.55. Seemed to come out OK even renting a trailer and eating out at Wendy's x2. For the rest of the story; see text below table saws. So once we dragged 5 tables and pieces/parts over 1/2 a city block and got them loaded, on to the table saws. The aluminum top turned out to be a 10" and better yet, real close to the loading door/dock. Rip fence, blade guard, wrenches, miter gauge, all there plus some random tools on top. Auction guy said, "it all goes with it. Easy load compared to those tables. Next up the old 10". It's in an adjoining room, way in the back and pretty dark. The only electrical/lights are from a couple portable generators and LOTS of extension cords. Fortunately I had brought tools and some H-F LED lights. Get to the saw...saw table is covered with all kinds of stuff...some chair bottom blanks, some maple glue ups, strips cut for glue ups, random tools besides a couple miter gauges, blade guard but no Craftsman rip fence? Oh well no big loss on a saw that era. All this is piled not only on the saw table, but also an extremely large, very dilapidated, rear and L/R extension tables made from deteriorating particle board. That seems strange until I step around to the front of the saw and "what to my wondering eyes should appear?" but a 52" Biesemeyer rip fence, in great condition, rails dirty, a little rusty, but very good over-all. Cha-ching... I no longer care that the cast iron top appears rusted beyond salvage...Auction guy again said, "it's all your's plus some other stuff over here." I was already exhausted feeling the flu and a fever coming on. It was about 10* outside, it was about 45 minutes until dark and auction load close but I moved & loaded stuff as if I was being chased by bears. The extension tables basically fell apart with a little beating. Didn't have to worry about cleaning up the mess b/c the building was going to be gutted. In one of the boxes was some more random stuff including an usual looking (to me) miter gauge. Then I realized what is must be for... Also in the sale was a Powermatic 66 Table saw; in very good condition; not sure if it was a 3 or 5 hp or single or 3 phase. It sold for a mere $255. That odd miter gauge...well it was for the PM...I gave it to the guy who brought his own single axle, tilt/rollback bed truck with a fork lift he used to load the saw. So that's how 2019 ended...well that and the respiratory flu over Christmas. Thanks for reading.

I have spent some time this year reworking my shop arrangement. Started with a 60 amp service & this allowed me to move the compressor into an attached shed then hard piped it into the shop. Install a small dust system in the shed and connected my miter saw, belt/spindle sander & a port for my ROS. I passed on things to other people that could use them & got rid of things I haven't or won't need. Consolidated everything to the 3 walls in the shop. I realized during the process that walking around my work bench to get to the other side of the shop just wasn't working anymore, time to downsize & go mobile. The plan is to build a set up to house my table saw and router table in one mobile unit. I have had a good conversation with @Gunny about the do's & don'ts with regards to this set up, "Often suffer from paralysis by analysis in getting a project started" Thanks Gunny. I have the base started with some 4x4 that my Dad had stored, straight and dry. Cut some lap joints, dry fit & ready to screw and glue. Notches in the middle are for the uprights & the cuts were made, after the pics, on the end lap joints for the same.

Worked on this while stuck at home. Two 4 X 8' - 3/4" sheets of plywood glued together. Self adhesive edging around the outside edge, several coats of floor quality polyurethane and on 300 lb. capacity wheels. Exact height for using it as an extension table for my table saw.
