Hi , thanks for the video it is really good , can you use the table saw without the legs ? can you use those peices of plastic that you used to cover the legs to make the table saw more stable if not using the legs ? Thanks
Hi and Thanks for the comment. I think as long as you'll place your table saw without the legs on a flat and leveled surface you should be absolutely fine using it. As far as I remember correctly ( I'm sorry but I haven't got this table saw anymore ) you should also be able to adjust the cut angle and depth with no problems. I hope this helps
@@rarecraftsman Hi and thanks for your reply , my issue would be moving the table saw after I'm donw using it so almost prefer to use it without the legs , seen other videos with different angles to see if the plastic covers can be used to make it stable but seems unlikely , thanks for the cut angle and depth as well
No problem at all and I am glad I can help. Regarding the lower leg covers. I think these were made out of rubber and slid over the legs so you cant really use them for stabilization ( I hope we are talking about the same part here :D ), but the table saw is quite heavy so I don't think you might need that. Again I hope I remember correctly with the depth and angle not sticking out but even if this would happen you can always shorten the legs and use them to lift the table saw a little of the surface ( just an idea here ).
There should be a bolt and a set of cogs below your table. Possibly adjusting these will allow for a blade to go all the way down. Unfortunately my table saw has given up after 2 weeks which is a shame. My current recommendation is that if there is anything wrong with your saw take it back to the shop and ask for a replacement. Important feature such as blade lift mechanism should be working without tweaking. I hope this helps. All the best
Hi, in your last answer you wrote that the tablesaw gave up after two weeks. Were you able to repair it or is it definitely the end of the story? Then it is not a good buy 🙁 If you still have the tablesaw, could you please mention the dimensions of the base cabinet, I want to build the saw into my workbench. Thanks for the effort!
Hi. Very much enjoyed your review. Wonder if you could answer a question, please. The centre section of the table - is it an aluminium plate or, tin like the sides? Many thanks.
Like most all lower end saws you have to check check and double check the cut. Wondering what you your going to repurpose wobbly fence into whatever it will no double be tricked out with LEDs
Haha for now it is stored away waiting for its turn. I don't think Parkside brand exist in the USA but it is only a label so I bet you guys have an identical item made by Grizzlytools under a completely different name. Checks I've done here should relate to other table saws as well.
I like the added left and right wing supports, and the dual speed! I never seen that before on any saw. Its a great idea if it helps to keep everything level. I am surprised at the price.. how was the 45 bevel? That miter gauge was a real piece of poo! Watch that kick back with the little fence from your old saw.... Does the old fence have another piece that connects to it?
Ha thanks man. I've got this piece thrown back as the riving knife is slightly off. I'll get it corrected with time. I'll keep you updated on how my little Parkside table saw will perform with time 😉
Thanks man. At that price point we can’t expect miracles but I’ve recently made some old English oak coasters and it did well. With some adjustments you can make some precise cuts 💪 I’ll go through your channel as soon as I’ll get home as it seems like you have some really good quality stuff there.
Getting cheap table saws square is almost impossible. These are really good for construction where absolute squareness is not essential like in carpentry. If you’re looking for absolute squareness, you’ll either need to modify the hell out of that one, this is what my brother did with a similar table saw by literally ditching most of the unit and building it into a new workshop table or spend more money on a better unit. Either way, you’re spending money
Hey. Thank you for your comment. I agree that it wasn’t easy to make it perfectly square. My main issue was that my Parkside table saw decided to die on me after only a couple of weeks.
Riving knife would be good ??? Perhaps it would be better to get that crown guard on first. ?? Riving knife on that saw wont prevent kick back. at least the crown guard would save your face.
Thanks for the comment. I agree that the crown is an important thing but for the purpose of this video it wasn’t installed. I’m curious now why do you say that riving knife will not prevent kick back? Isn’t that the purpose of it being installed? By the way riving knife was installed on the table saw.
@@rarecraftsman riving knife prevents the timber jamming on the blade when cutting timber where the grain pulls tight onto the blade. At least with the crown guard on even if the timber clamps onto the blade it won't lift and flip up into your face or straight back out towards you like in your video not so bad with a little square of timber. Imagine if you'd need trimming a natural edged board it would have shout out like a spear. Anti kickback pawls would prevent the latter

@@rarecraftsman Thanks you have been very helpful
Do you have the reference of the guide used to replace the original one that is not working well?
Hi. I’ve replaced it with a guide from evolution fury 5. Hope this helps
Looks ok thanks for the review 👍👍
That's the first one I've ever made! I promise to get better at it :D Thank you!
I have the same one, but I can't get my saw blade all the way down.
approximately 1.5 millimeters above the table top.
Can this also be configured???

No problem at all. Centre section was tin and the blade insert was a simple plastic. Unfortunately the table saw gave up on me after 2 weeks 😒
Many thanks for your reply. Think I will repair my old one - I like its solid aluminium top. Regards.@@rarecraftsman

My Rigid does a pretty good job of staying square, but now that I say that, it will probably be off! Great Review!
Thank you man! The old fence works really well so I hope that I'm not going to have to spend any more money 😅

how noob you can be? Its another guidline in the back of the table saw
