7 1/4" thin kerf blade for your table saw.

5 days ago by duasbata | 1 comment »

Haven’t used a thin kerf blade before so I purchased the 7 1/4” Freud Diablo Demo Demon Circular Saw blade for $15 from Home Depot just to see what all the hype is about thin kerf blades. What a difference and the price is right. Noticed that my saw sounds different and stops faster. There is significantly less dust. The saw feels more powerful when I’m cutting. The kerf is about 1/16” and the wood is ash.The blade stands at 1 3/4” when raised at it’...

Great Product (after you modify them)

Great Product (after you modify them)

6 days ago by SteveMI | 2 comments »

I got a used TS couple monts ago that was an upgrade to me. It has the standard 3/4” miter slots in the cast iron table unlike my prior aluminum. So, while browsing the local Woodcraft for feather boards I saw the JessEm and thought to give them a try. Today I had a chance to actually use them and found they are a great product, but are having some manufacturing problems. The key to the design are some rectangle head bolts that slide in slots molded in the plastic feather boards a...

Happy With My First Blade Purchase

Happy With My First Blade Purchase

12 days ago by Jimi_C | 8 comments »

So as promised (in Knottscott's review of the Delta 35-7657), here’s my review of its 60-tooth cousin. The night Scott reviewed that blade, I noticed Tooliday had the 60-tooth version up for $25, plus $5 S/H. I had been looking at Freud blades that were about $20-30 more, so I thought what the heck, I’ll give it a shot. I’ve been using a single 40-tooth blade for everything (came with the tablesaw I bought used of Craigslist), along with painters tape to keep the chippin...

Nice Tenoning jig, but....

Nice Tenoning jig, but....

31 days ago by drfixit | 7 comments »

I had to modify it, by drilling new holes for the miter bar to use it on my Ridgid TS3612 saw. It has 2 sets of holes in it, but one set put it on top of my blade and the other set put it too far away. It was very easy to assemble other than this but after assembling it and adjusting it. It has 3 adjustable screws to fit your miter slot. It can be used for any angled tenon from 0 to 45 degrees. Wish I had bought one sooner.

Tenryu Dado WILL allow shims!

Tenryu Dado WILL allow shims!

32 days ago by Russ Anderson | 2 comments »

Okay, so apparently I jumped the gun on the previous review of the Tenryu GMD-20340. After emailing Tenryu and breaking out the digital calipers it’s apparent that there is some room for shims. The teeth aren’t quite as wide as I’m used to and that’s why I was left with the thin strip of wood between chippers. The shim that I used was apparently wider than the allowance. There are a few dimensions that aren’t possible with the Tenryu set but it’s possible t...

Tenryu Dado won't allow shims!

Tenryu Dado won't allow shims!

39 days ago by Russ Anderson | 17 comments »

This is a brief review of the Tenryu GMD. First Impression: The blades look of extremely high quality with thick bodies. Box: I personally don’t like the wood box because you have to lift out all of the chippers in order to get to the outer blades. Cut Quality: I haven’t had the opportunity to make a lot of cuts with this set yet but so far I’m impressed! The bottom of the dado is the flattest, smoothest that I have seen. I’ve owned two previous dado sets, one...

Great for uneven floors

Great for uneven floors

45 days ago by DannyBoy | 7 comments »

From the start, I needed to make sure that my saw would be movable. With a small shop, floor space is at a premium and it only makes things difficult to admit that my floor is not at all level and even. This system took care of both of those needs. The casters are well built and work well on the uneven floor. Plus, once you are done moving the unit, you flip it down onto it’s own feet right into your floors sweet-spot. Two bits of advice: First, you probably won’t matc...

Great TS Upgrade For A Very Reasonable Price

Great TS Upgrade For A Very Reasonable Price

59 days ago by dfarr | 9 comments »

I’ve always struggled with the cheap blade adjustment cranks (pictured right) on my 70s vintage table saw. I found these cast iron handwheels (H3189 – Cast Iron Handwheel – 6”) and chromed handles (H3205 – 4” x 3/8”-16) on the Grizzly web site. The handwheels were only $8.50 and the handles were $2.95. This was a great deal compared to other places I’ve looked at similar handwheels. The wheels come with a small center hole that I had to bore ou...

Mule Cabinetmaker Accusquare Rip Fence

Mule Cabinetmaker Accusquare Rip Fence

61 days ago by jeffreythree | 13 comments »

All of the sizes are the same other than the rail lengths. I opted for the 25” one because my Delta Homecraft TS is pretty small. It came with only a few token wads of newdpaper to protect it, and the main knob was broken because of it. This one uses a rear rail, which I like and have not mounted yet. It also works well so far without the rear rail attached. The first pic shows what it came with: a bag of hardware, a rear rail, the fence, the front rail, and no instructions. You c...

Mule Cabinetmaker M-21 Miter Gauge Fence

Mule Cabinetmaker M-21 Miter Gauge Fence

61 days ago by jeffreythree | 1 comment »

I needed a miter gauge fence and decided to order this one with the rip fence I ordered. It looked to be well made and better than any wood add-on I made. I was disappointed when it came in with no packing material, and, sure enough, one of the plastic knobs was busted into 3 pieces. The first pick shows everything that was in the box(except for a little instruction sheet). Today I took apart my trusty old Delta miter guage to drill some holes to mount the fence(it appears to fit more mod...
