Thanks mate! I have the same saw and all the things you criticised are what I’m frustrated with. Thanks for the inspiration and tips!
thats a brilliant idea for a table saw bench. very achievable for general diy'ers. i watch a lot of you tube for ideas and most are out of the realm for general diy'ers. good to see something more basic but very effective
thank you
Great presentation, common sense ideas!! Thanks
Tom Byrne
Nice one.
Hours of trawling utube your idea is simple and one of the best.
I will up grade my Cheap Aldi T/saw based on your design with a few of my own changes.
I hope to upgrade to a Commercial grade TS in the near future.
Wishing you well and hoping your enjoying your workshop.
Your video gave me some great ideas on how to get the most out of my Ozito tablesaw. Thanks for posting!
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback
great idea imma do the same, but i noticed you didnt have the little splitter thing behind the blade, pretty sure they make it safer to use
Great upgrades mate. I think you might have the longest lasting Ozito tablesaw in Aussie! i just bought an Aldi one!
No it didn't last long. Only about 18months.
Still relevant in 2021, thanks!
welcome
its helping me a lot as I am a bigner, with lot of intarest in making wood in to usefull things. Thank you so so much for sharing. Regards.
You're very welcome!
Great upgrade of your table saw. I have a saw like that but another generic brand. I have the same problems as you had before and i think i shameless will copy this! Thank´s for sharing!!
Thanks 👍
How about putting up a drawing of the plans . Love it mate
wow got the same saw, defiantly keeping this in mind for some upgraedes
Excellent. I just bought one of these with the intention of upgrading it.
I got good use out of mine while I had it. I now use the Ryobi one but don't have the room now to set up on a similar table. But it is working well for what I need.
Hope you found the video useful. Cheers Matthew.
Thanks so much for posting this. Picked up the same saw for near free, but really need a setup like yours! Many great ideas and well done. Cheers ~
Glad it was helpful!
Newer to woodworking. I got a lot from this video. Thank you!
Thank you. Hope you enjoy your hobby. Cheers Matt
MATE! I got the same saw (NZ) and have been tempted to swing it overhead by its power cord... fence is f***ed right out of the box.. been thinking of doing the same as you. Sitting on my ass throughout lockdown is over.... time to fix that tablesaw!
I hope you sorted it out :)
@@MWLaser I have the same one as well, I know what Im doing. Thanks for the ideas!
Stumbled across this looking for improvements on my Ozito saw. Thanks for the info!
No prob. Cheers 🍺
Great job on the table saw bro.. I have to completely remove my Table saw top and replace it with either 18mm PLYWOOD or MDF.. I'm not sure which is best atm but I hear Plywood is better incase any water damage happens??
My issue with ur build is u didn't show us how the saw is being held in place?? Did I miss that bit? Sorry bro but that is a very important part for me anyways..
Still and all I love the look of the saw now.. U basically have it looking like those massive cabinet saws now.. Great job bro.. If u have a second please let me know how u connected the saw and the rest together bcos I couldn't see anything holding the saw up for the dust collection box to go underneath?!? Thanks for posting this though mate.. It's given me food for thought.. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO U AND ALL IN THE COMMENTS TOO..
some great ideas here mate.. and not too challenging to do.
You're welcome :)
Interesting. I'm a learner so have watched many such vids. I have been led to believe that removing the riving knife was an absolute NoNo?
Wow great improvement to your tablesaw
Thanks
Great idea, well done, mate!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Goodonya, Matt. Nice job.
Thanks!
Great video! I'm currently looking at doing something similar.. May I kindly ask about the accuracy of this fence? Is there anything you would change if you were to build it again? :)
It was accurate, I don't have this saw anymore, but would built it the same if I had to do it again. Cheers
Nice vid. I have the latest cheap ozito table saw from 2019. Unfortunately it uses T slots which is a pita for making sleds. Also the surface isnt flat it's kind of corrugated. I'd like to see how you made that fence, it looks miles ahead of the stock fence.
I'm sorry I didn't make a video of the fence build. It was easy enough using form ply, glue and screw ensuring everything square along the way.
I have a new saw now so I may make a new table for it. I'm just out of room in my current setup for any more benches. Cheers Matt
Hi Matt, I know it's been a few years since you built this, but Im about to do exactly the same with my exact same crappy Bunnings saw.
You wouldn't happen to have a pic of how you mounted the saw to the bench would you. Im in 2 minds as to either do what you have done or completely undermount the saw below a flat table top. Hope you can help.
Thanks
I do not have this saw anymore so I cannot provide better photos of the bracket I made under the saw, if you pause about 1:55 you can see i have blocks of wood under the table and then I secured some brackets to these into the sides of the top of the table saw. Sorry I cannot help further. Cheers Matt
excellent video
Glad you liked it!
mat how did you attach your table saw to the yellow tongue board
Matthew Hurley after cutting out the size for the saw to fit I made brackets to hold it in place underneath. using wood and screws
Hey mate I have the newer version of the table saw and want to build your set up! Just wondering, what we’re the measurements of the legs that you used? Thanks
The leg height was 840mm high.
can the ozito use dato blades? I just picked one up myself before realizing how useful dato blades are and I am wondering if I should take it back and heft out the cash for a step up
To be honest I do not own that saw anymore so I wouldn't know without looking it up so I'd suggest a Google search or contact the supplier. Cheers
@@MWLaser thanks for the reply, how did you find the saw during the time you had it and why did you get rid of it?
@@N1ghtR1der666 it was good after I made the work table/bench for it. the main reason I sold it was to buy a saw with a larger blade to cut larger stock.
Zim, no they cant I have the same saw the spindle is only about 20mm long
Good stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it
How do you find the Ozito table saw? Do you have any accuracy issues if you adjust the blade to 45? I have an old Ryobi table saw that cuts parallel to my fence when its at 90d, but when I adjust it to 45d, its skewed slightly. I figured its probably time to get something newer and was looking at the new Ryobi one, or the new Ozito one. I would be building it into a cabinet of sorts like you have, so setting up a new fence system with outfeed and side extensions is no problem. But I'm more interested in hearing if you have had any issues with 45d cuts.
The best way to answer your question is to say that as a beginner at woodworking, accuracy with cuts on this tablesaw cause me some frustration. ? is it me or the saw ? I'm leaning towards it being the saw and hope to upgrade to something more solid in the future. its been okay for most small projects but not as it comes out of the box. I've had to build this table and a new fence and a crosscut sled to be able to rip and crosscut for my projects. i tried a few mitre cuts without much joy. hope this helps. Cheers Matthew
Thanks Matt, your table saw setup looks great though, so if you're not getting decent cuts and your fence and everything is square. I'd say its probably down to tolerances in the blade spinning being quite low. I might skip on the Ozito unless I can't fix my old Ryobi one. I wish we had more choice like in the US. Watching all these US TH-camrs with their porter cable/rigid/craftsman/skilsaw etc table saws in the right price ranges makes me sad. Thanks for the info.
+Jack MeHoff i agree. The range here is poor.
Hey Matt
Juat starting out in woodworking and using the Ozito brand too. I am interested in that same Ozito table saw, I am wondering how you mounted the saw onto the table, and is it any good?
Thanks Slade
hi I've returned my ozito saw. and won't be buying another. I've replaced it with a ryobi which is much better more accurate and does not have a flimsy plastic table insert.
i mounted it previously using some timber supports under the table top. Cheers Matthew
+Matts Workshop Ok. Thanks for the advice.
MW Laser, hope you would not mind me asking, what materials did you use for the fence? Thanks
I have this table saw. Why did it take so long to find this video? Come on Google sort it out.
You dont call yourself a professional?? lol
Mate youve done a fantastic job, com on you need to give yourself more credit than that, yes your certainlyv not a beginner but you are certainly a professional thats for sure
Thanks 👍
I've been qualified as a wood machinist almost 20yrs and I've never used a more dangerous saw than the Aldi workzone table saw, I have one in the garage and it's used for gathering dust. Someone asked me for a lend of it and I refused because i didn't want anyone getting hurt from the thing. It should be taken off the market as its worse quality than pound shop kids toys
I have not used an aldi one, however this ozito would be very similar, not the safest tool in the shop.
