Great stuff! I'm a newbe at woodworking. I just started actually building stuff last year. I have a 2,000 sq. ft. shop, which is really nice, but I'm a rank amateur. I love getting great hints and tips on how to do things better. I'm slowly but surely expanding my equipment as well, and so it behooves me to learn all I can about each one. My next goal is to actually start making money building things. I'm a 59-year old retired radar engineer, and so I have plenty of time to tinker in my shop. I look forward to learning more from your channel. Thanks for the video!
I'm picking up my table saw upgrade this morning, the Delta 36-725t2. Not a super high end saw to be sure, but a significant upgrade from the job site saw I've been using for 4 ish years. Great timing for me! Great tips!
I've had that model for just about a year and it's a significant improvement over what I used to use. I'm just a hobbyist but this saw has done everything I've asked of it. Enjoy!
i’m a fair weather wood hobbyist and only do projects outside. no worries about sawdust there. i do general checking of the blade angles but not to the degree that you do. however you do cover all the issues that one can come across. 😊
Blue tape on BOTH ends of the workpiece… Of course! I’m not sure how I never figured that out, but rest assured that I’ll do that from now on. Thank you for these tips
Get yourself a 5-gal bucket lid, the kind with the dimple in the middle, to soak/wet your blades. They are the perfect size, cheap and the dimple makes it easy to pick up the blade.
It appears your doing well and you deserve it ! I've learned more from your channel than any other on woodworking and will never forget your stupid simple box joint method which I still use every time I do box joints ! You did let me down when you were talking about the miter gauge that comes with the saw ...I was waiting for you to chunk it in the trash can and was shocked that you didn't Lol!
I have a sawstop compact table saw, and unfortunately it is ever so slightly not completely flat (kinda dished by about 1/128”, maybe a little less than that, when I hold a straight edge across it). I have noticed that it takes my cuts out of 90 by a fraction of a degree. It is easy to deal with for cross cuts by using a sled… do you have any advice on how to deal with my issue for making rip cuts?
You mentioned not setting your square against a tooth when checking the miter gauge, but it's also important to not set the square against a tooth when checking that the blade is square to the table. You checked between teeth, so you definitely know that, but it's not always obvious to newer woodworkers.
Glue line ripped is great for non-through cuts. Especially because it leaves a flat bottom if it has a Flat Top Grind (FTG). Not all rip blades are FTG. Crosscut blades will leave bat ears due to the alternate angle on each tooth.
Re: simple green. Simple Green says not to use it. It will chemically eat at the binder holding the carbide to the blade, according to them. They have a different formulation they recommend. Or you could use something else. I use washing soda, found in the cleaning aisle at the grocery store. I just dissolve a quantity in water and put it in some old jug. But wear safety glasses. Personally I don't use simple green for anything because to me the stench is terrible. My wife agrees. There are a number of purpose made products that do the job as well. Washing Soda is just cheap and fast.
I'm sure he knows, and it may have been a simple oversight. The thickness of the blade may be less than the thickness of the tooth on the blade. Be sure to measure the tooth.

Great video, a very good reminder even for experienced wood workers
😂😂😂 that opener alone made me subscribe

It's been a couple of months since your comment. Have you had any luck in your journey?

This is the saw I have and it is very good. I got it brand new 50% of so it was only $350 for me
Chiming in to say I also have this saw and it is a winner.
Just make sure to use a quality blade as well. Keep the one that comes with it for stuff you don’t care about.
I had a similar model. It was a solid tool!
Thank Billy for sharing the great tips I’m definitely going to go through my table saw tomorrow and make sure everything is square.
Thank you.. Great tips for table saw and miter saw! I just bought a new miter saw, and this really helps me to set it up!

Thanks a bunch for all the tips, Billy! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Awesome stuff. New wood worker here, and I learned several new tips.
Great video. Thank you for these great tips and I am definitely going to apply them.
Good tips... thanks for the refresher
Great tips sometimes dont think if the simple things thanks

Of course! I’m not sure how I never figured that out, but rest assured that I’ll do that from now on.
Thank you for these tips
Great tutorial thanks
Thanks
Great tips, Billy. Just make sure there's the same number of tape layers on the bottom and side against the miter gage.

I was going to say that but forgot. Excellent point!

Ha! I should have!
Make sure to verify miter slots are parallel with blade!

I would add that having a zero clearance throat plate helps quite a bit with tear out.
Nice to know I am not the only one to cut through my Incra Mitre lol

My job site you need to 90 the blade to the side of the table your wood is on. It's slightly humped. It sucks.
another tip to avoid tearout is to use a zero-clearance insert.
7 isn't an absurd number

Really? You took my comment down because it didn’t fit your caveman woodworking narrative?
What?
Bad hair day?
