Poor doggy

I bought the saw (Hikoki) for 343 euros which is about 504 Canadian dollars. I can only confirm that it is a great saw

I'm extremely happy with mine. I like that I can stand it up against the back wall of my shop for storage space. Then just wheel it out anywhere I want to use it.

The part at 11:40 after all that wrestling the thing and your dog drops his stick was epic. I laughed so hard. I'm going after a burl this weekend. A much smaller one. Maybe three times as big as a basketball. I cut one off of a downed tree on a camping trip and made something pretty cool.

I remember doing some research and thought it was previously Hitachi by the green casing. Built some one the best furniture with the tightest angles with a hitachi chop saw purchased at costco back in c1998. So I bought this. sale at local supplier but locating one in stock in So. Cal for same day pick-up was difficult. One available. Got it. The loose parts and the nuts and bolts could be better differentiated in the instructions as I lost the bag of bolts when unboxing...Actually was wearing my rings as well, got frustrated and took them off when I couldnt find the nuts and bolts. But once found, everything was put together in a snap. I didn't turn the saw upside down because....it will never be upside down and I didnt want some intial assembly to cause any unknown pre-stress on what may be an adjustment later/or many future adjustments because i stuck the saw upside down to put it together. If you can lift it out of your car you can assemble it wheels and handle first and then drop down the saw, angle the legs to get better access to the bold head that needs to be secured. I assume they specify it being upside-down so you don't inadvertently cut yourself or something. When I first thought the bolts were gone I was very pleased with the frame for using on the ground or table. First time I ever saw this rip fence design was on a Dewalt back in the early 2000s. Seems everyone does it similar now. I got an ol 1972 craftsman contractor saw that this is going to compliment...not replace. Great video. Great tool....Hope you recouped savings since you were a first adopter years ago. Cheers!

Can the riving knife be removed or pushed below table height so you can do dado cuts with the ripping blade? Can this saw handle a dado blade (how wide) and can you purchase different table inserts for dado and zero clearance?

Funny

A question brother, how has the table saw served you today? And one question: I just bought mine, but I notice that when I press the brake button there is some sparking momentarily inside the engine. Does this also happen to you, or is it a factory defect?

Try turning the fans the other way, so the heated air can rise naturally and be drawn through the wood and into the bottom of the heating area.

Holy Crap you're strong!

How much time does it take to dry lumber ?

Glad that when you voted, everyone agreed on “down hill.”

So it’s possible to turn a door into a desk. But my goodness the work. That must of took a long time. So my issue is I have a folding hollow door that used to be in my laundry room and I wanna make it into a desk. Thanks because now I know what not to do!! But any tips I’m glad to receive them.

Would the solar panel work inside the kiln?

Do use the jobsite saw for actual woodworking?

Instead of tarp, how about roofing fabric?

How awesome would this be in cedar?

Is it actual tin, or is it steel?

Has he never done this before? How heavy did he think they would be

You need a winch and lots of extra lengths of winch line to bring those down… maybe even a sled

How is it holding up? I've read a lot of reviews people say the fence doesn't stay square is that your experience?

Great review. But if you need your fingers intact, remove all your accessories when working with rotary power tools. Just my 2 cents.

Shipping container 👍

Bought one yesterday. Was planning to buy the 36V version but would have to buy battery and charger or the AC adapter which significantly increases an already high price. Got my corded version for $449. I own other Metabo tools (Hitachi when purchased) and they are excellent.

Have had mine for a few years and am very happy with it. The original blade did not last long and I replaced it with a Diablo general purpose blade and a DeWalt fine cut. Both work great. Learning how to do different cuts and more effectively use the miter gauge. I did polish the table surface and that makes a huge difference.

Howd the inlet situation turn out. I wouldnt think it would matter since your inlets should actually come in at the bottom and the top ones should be exhaust since heat rises. It should work like a charcoal grill

Pushing the air around from the top is an inefficient and probably ineffective circulation method. Pull cooler air from a location close to the bottom up to the top with ducting like flex duct to warm the stack more evenly. May only require one fan. Right now you are just blowing around hot air in place.

nice job man

got a big close too big as the first cap you cut had too raft it down through a few good rapids with my border collie riding that burl like a proud girl my helper met me at take out when we got it home we through a burl party 4 grown men could not pick it up takes grit and dertermaniton too move dense burl on your own awesome job love the rig on your trailer I could use one of those. Iy is so crazy why loggers leave the best part behind. also I love the low down by the root wood as well nice vid man

Ironically I upgraded from the exact same table saw. Mine didn’t crap out at least. I came to see how to use the fence. I was at a loss. I didn’t realize you just need to tug it. Seemed too tight like there was a release or something and was afraid to break it. Thanks for showing how to adjust and check the blade for square etc. I’m looking forward to having an accurate measure right on the saw instead of having to use the measuring tape for everything.

I bought the same saw , But when ever I I try to rip , the fence moves

Never mentioned the locking lever on the fence. Damm you I've seen all the videos on the hitachi table saw and that lever is never even mentioned..

My kiln does expel air out the bottom vents, I have the gap between the fans and back of the kiln small, I also use rubber roofing as the tarp, at first don't open vents much to limit drying fast, as wood gets below 10%, open bottom vents More, also on solar panels, use a buck converter to control voltage from solar panels, as to high of voltage can damage fans if panels can make more than 14v

I have the same saw and I love the saw it always surprised that they did not design a place to store the miter gauge ...that I have hardly ever used

Thanks nice set of 5 vids

Interesting

So how did the kiln work out? What kind of changes did you make? I’m thinking about making one and I live up in northern Maine, USA.

Anyone else having a problem with the Arbor Nut coming loose due to the stop break when turning off the saw?

I learn dog dont help much with stress situation😂

Also it was really good to see someone who's not afraid to melt in the rain

Could I get the dimensions of your solar calm please

I own it...works great with a new cmt italian blade

Great review

Just came across your video on your solar kiln .Good video . Just wondering what product did you use to put on your floor. I can not find the product VIrginia Tech used. It is called Leak Stopper .I am planning on building a solar kiln . I live in Pembroke Ontario.

Thank you for the how to video man 👍🏼

I had the same older saw and just upgraded to the same saw..used though. Had a broken fence lock lever $10 so the guy gave it to me for $40 with stand, rip blade, dado throat option...

Damn, it is May 3rd!

Are the fir or pine burls? I’ve never seen the inside of those. Maybe one video show one cut up?? Thanks

I'd recommend maybe some heavy duty poly instead of the tarp? Still learning on my own kiln myself (indoor) But I've just been using cheap poly, with the expectation it gets replaced each time. Been thinking of trying heavy duty, and reusing it...

You paid a lot for your saw ! Amazon has it for $ 450. 00 right now !!!
