Awww man when he wiggled his fingers in this vid, hurt my heart bro. You stay blessed my friend and keep on woodworking. Just check your machines before and after a cut lol can't hurt.
Yea but with no guard his accident could have happened sooner. Guards are there for a reason. They prevent accidents and have feathers that prevent kickback accidents.
This gave me chills when he said look still have my fingers... Huge reality check, I take even more caution when using my tools on a job site and home after following his story. Love your channel fellas and very glad your still doing what you love
You made a great choice. In my 43 years of professional cabinetmaking and fine woodworking, every shop I worked in had a 10" Delta Unisaw as it's main workhorse. When I eventually opened my own shop in 2001, I bought the Platinum Edition with the Biesemeyer fence and never had an issue. Since I often had to crosscut large panels I added an extension table that allowed me 54 inches. In my humble opinion, the Unisaw is the king of professional shop table saws. Have fun!
CHILLING......I gasped when I saw Jaime had his fingers in this video...if it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone. He has not let it slow him down and for that much respect brother
Thank you for taking the time to talk about the new Unisaw. Many of us old guys grew up using the original in the cabinet shop, but that;s not the machine today. You have the only review I could find and thankfully you are a pro and you know what to look for. I have been woodworking for over forty years with a paralyzed arm. Car accident. Irread about your injury and then watched a few videos with you in them. You handled this the way a man should, with grace, courage, and guts. God bless you.
Jaime I had that same craftsman saw in 1975 or six and it lasted quite a while till I bought my next tablesaw, can’t remember what it was. Boy the irony in this video is gripping and I hope you’re doing better today than you were yesterday and I hope the hand situation all works out for you. Keep us updated and thanx for all of your videos. ... pf
Great stuff! You and your brother each bring much to the table and al y’all’s explanations are spot on. I’ve been in the business since 1971, retired now with 5 Friday’s and a weekend. Your channel is just what the industry needs, a hook to get more young folks interested in the building trades. Keep up the work and all your digits.
I inherited that exact saw from my father. He bought it new years ago and most of the parts were still in boxes. I kept it stored for years myself until a couple weeks ago. I finally decided to put it together and install a 240v outlet. What an awesome saw. My craftsman contractor saw is now for sale.
I've been wood working for close to 40 years...My first saw starting out was a Craftsman 10" Contractors saw having a 1-1/2 hp motor such as yourself. I used it for many years but like yourself I found the fence to be lacking so I upgraded to a Biesemeyer fence system which took it to a different level. For many years I had always wanted a Uni-Saw but I could not justify the cost...so one day a friend of mine and I took a ride to Grizzly for the annual tent sale and I purchased a 3 hp 10" cabinet saw from them which was great and provided many years of great service. About 3 years ago after moving to our new house I was able to procure a new Delta Unisaw 36-L552 5hp saw which is incredible...I love it as well!
Thanks for helping us geek out on that righteous table saw. I'd love to have that in my shop. Looking forward to the next tool video. The longer format works really well for tool talk. Thanks.
Never stop learning is what I like about woodworking. I wish my dad wouldve got me into it earlier in life, but whatever. Start with 10 end with 10 is a motto I follow
I remember the first table saw I used was a cast iron ATLAS of my dads back in the early 1970’s I was a pre teenager then and using a table saw but only when dad was there to watch and help me .. Man that saw was a beast
I'm really liking the woodworking tool videos, from the history and backstory, to the evolution and upgrades/modifications! Really enjoy all the great content presented; interesting, informative, entertaining and to the point. Glad I found your channel - it's much appreciated!
I used 5 minutes to stop the video at the right frame at 4:07 to see Jamies build. xD Love the work you guys put in, it really shows on the quality of the videos. And even more in the new ones. Great work all of you.
Other features I like about the newer Delta, mine is the 52” rip and has a drawer under the extension table, very handy but the best is you just pull a lever in front and the riving knife comes right out or adjusts height for thru or non thru cuts plus the blade guard and anti kickback pawls go on and come off extremely easily. I actually found a unifence on eBay and replaced the Biesemyer fence. Still have the old one but for now I like the unifence.
Thirty years ago there was an old carpenter here in Wyoming who bought the first Delta cabinet saw he'd ever seen. This was during WW-II, probably 1942 or maybe '43. The saw's motor was 3/4 Hp, the largest available due to war rationing. Harold Hobson was the carpenter's name. He was extremely accomplished at had sharpening and fettling all his tools. He said he never felt the need for a larger motor and said he'd never owned a carbide tipped blade.
(Added) Fence system that has all there ten fingers and thumbs. It just goes to show that the right training on a non SawStop type table saw and excellent safety practices you can keep all your fingers. Just another Delta Unisaw 52 inch user. Quality woodworking video.
Jamie…. Thanks for the content. May I suggest cleaning your blades with “Spray 9”. It’s a very good household cleaner. I use it all the time in my shop. Spray it on, let set for 5-10 minutes then a nice stiff nylon brush. I constantly clean my blades to eliminate buildup on them.
Great video and good for you on this very nice saw! You are right about the front controls, the Biesemeyer fence and the riving knife and OFF switch, BUT that's push stick needs to go! Here's why. When ripping a board against the fence you need to: 1. press down, 2. press forward and 3. press diagonally towards the fence. If the board comes off the fence at the rear of the blade, it will rise up and over and it will kick back. Thankfully you do have a riving knife a great safety feature which will prevent those types of kickbacks. However, that skinny, short ended push stick will still not be able to hold the board down on the table. You need a proper "push shoe" instead. Look them up, there's a zillion types, but any one will be better than a push stick. Trust me on this, 55 years using a table saw has taught me a few things! The other thing I like is your extended fence on the miter gauge. It needs to be longer so you can clamp a stop block for crosscutting different lengths easier. The kerf in the fence is your "indicator mark" for the cross cuts, no need to measure to the blade. Line up the mark to the left side of the kerf and that's where your cut will be. Best wishes to you!
First thing I noticed after going to a 3hp. cabinet saw after using my old 1 1/2 hp. craftsman, was that my blades lasted 3 times longer. I read in a book that blades wear more from heat abrasion than actually cutting the wood. If you have enough power you can cut through enough wood that it cools the blade. If you don't you burn the blades they last so much longer
Glad to see your saw is a Delta. I’m just getting serious about woodworking and I’m buying a DELTA Model # 36-725. Also my wife bought me that magnetic angle gauge.
If you put paste wax down on the top and everywhere the fence touches it should get rid of any the squeaks and snags, also helps with getting smoother, cleaner cuts
That would be one of my dream tools. Really a beautiful saw I could admire that thing for hours in person. My girl thinks I’m crazy the way I view tools lol. She just don’t get it.
Ha ha ha I have a set of dishes the same design as Jaime’s coffee cup sitting on the saw table, how cool is that, I bought mine from Walmart, fan from Canada
Hey to owner of Unisaw When you purchase from Amazon did it come all in one shipment including the rails and fence system all package in a crate that fits a pallet 40x48" ?
Can we get a video more specific about your business? As someone who wants to start their own building business I'd love to hear more about how you started.
Gee, I thought every 18 yr old spends their hard earned money on stocking up with Festool, Felder (Format 4) and Mafell (and now and again, Hilti) tools and machines. By the way, I have the exact same Delta Unisaw you have. Love it. Unless I'm cutting dados or grooves, or using my sliding table sled (with its own shop-made guard and dust collection port), the original Delta guard is nearly ALWAYS in place (unless the particular cut I'm making absolutely won't allow it). I am very fond of my fingers and I don't want to see one lying in the sawdust. Unlike Mr. C. Numbnut several years ago who practically cut his hand off attempting to free-hand rip some hardwood flooring without bothering to use the guard or even the rip fence on a little Ryobi portable saw, I took the safe operations training very seriously. When he sued Big Orange (seller of the saw) and Ryobi, unfortunately, the even more idiotic jury saw fit to sock Ryobi with $1,500,000 verdict awarding Mr. Numbut for his incompetence, stupidity, and/or laziness. Prior to his injury, Mr. Numbnut had claimed to be a knowledgeable and skilled finish carpenter and installer of hardwood flooring. The jury was swayed by expert witness Mr. S. Gass-bag, inventor and manufacturer of saw-stopping tech, who claimed that any saw which didn't have his super-duper hotdog stopping gizmo was inherently defective.
Great vid. I never understand why you Americans always talk about riving knifes on a table saw like it’s a bit of a novelty or inconvenience. It’s only plunge cuts it no good for other than that there’s not many reasons not to have the riving knife installed. Keep up thereafter content mate
ive been waiting to see someone review this saw where has Delta gone, they used to be the king of the hill they really need help in the marketing department......
Agree on the Marketing...............unfortunately they have discontinued making all the great stuff ( industrial duty tools) they used to make. Now the only good tool they make is the Unisaw (everything else is homeowner quality, I should say junk) I have many of their old tools that today cannot be replaced
68 years old never been cut by a saw , still have all ten, when I started the old guy training me took me to the table saw and said "boy this is the dumbest piece of equipment in the world, it can't tell the difference in a 2x4 and your hand, (this was before SawStop ) be careful, we you go home I want you take everything you brought with you (fingers).
Thank you for leaving this video up. It would have been very tempting to remove it. It serves as a reminder that these tools are dangerous no matter your experience or training. Complacency can kill.
I wish I had a brother to help me lol but somehow I make it work on my own for a bit. Seems like young male adults don’t have work ethic instilled in them anymore. 100% believe your dad when he said people don’t last too long in this line of work. Anyways that’s my rant....great video !
Your table saw looks more like a small semi-pro tool. This is what I used to work with in Germany. www.altendorf.com/en/products.html I don't know if this brand or something equvalent is available in the US.

That’s a sweet Jerry curl you had in high school.
Same here.

Yeah Jaime❤💪🏽
Recover well man
What happened to him??

I'm addicted to Woodworking tools and collecting and using them! It's a passion, habit, and a must for me. The ultimate turn on!
It's nice to have a work you love. Be kind to one another. Stay safe. Love to all

I just bought an old Grizzly table saw, built in 1996. 3hp 240V, I LOVE it. Day and night difference compared to my old job site saw.
That is a stunning table saw. I love my job site dewalt saw and i got an old Delta shop saw. Cant beat them
LOVE my Unisaw!! Delta makes good stuff at that level.
I used 5 minutes to stop the video at the right frame at 4:07 to see Jamies build. xD Love the work you guys put in, it really shows on the quality of the videos. And even more in the new ones. Great work all of you.
The cement mixer improvement Easter egg was fun.
Great review of unisaw. I have a unisaw built in early '70s
Love all your videos. Thank you!

I had one of these, bought it to resell, then bought and sold a few more.

Model # 36-725. Also my wife bought me that magnetic angle gauge.
Would buy this saw again ?
Dude you make guitars? you are officially thee coolest guy I now. Thanks fro sharing.
Thought it could never be done but you guys did it TABLE SAW PORN all it needed was that music
Haha!! I can probably throw some of that in for you!
I have the same saw, it’s awesome!
If you put paste wax down on the top and everywhere the fence touches it should get rid of any the squeaks and snags, also helps with getting smoother, cleaner cuts

So Dad was a slave driver? I'd say he did a fine job raising you and your brother. The whole world is learning from you guys! Bless you all.
Agreed. Don't bash the man that made you the man that you are today (unless you don't like yourself).
Instructions and Class- The Best‼️ Thank You‼️
All at No Charge-WoW‼️
How much snow did Yall get?
We had 6”. More than predicted. Gone quick- Sunday.
Thanks for "reviewing" the new generation Delta Unisaw. Everyone raves about the Sawtop, but I hate it's ergonomics.
Love this stuff
What Jamie said about his hands, it haunts me now watching this after his accident
Ha ha ha I have a set of dishes the same design as Jaime’s coffee cup sitting on the saw table, how cool is that, I bought mine from Walmart, fan from Canada
Table saw
Hey to owner of Unisaw
When you purchase from Amazon did it come all in one shipment including the rails and fence system all package in a crate that fits a pallet 40x48" ?
I really enjoyed your video on your family business and how your dad slave drives you like mine too
I have a powermatic 5 horsepower saw... I am totally jealous that you have the front tilt on yours
Good looking saw! I have the older version along with a delta radial arm saw.
I hope you will do a video about the Radial Arm Saw
Man that sounds like an awesome saw! & that wheel added too! I missed the part where we comment down below win it? haha
very cool how you did that. i have similar background that you guys do. love your videos!
I just bought the delta 36-L552 5hp 230v 52" table saw
Good info !
Can we get a video more specific about your business? As someone who wants to start their own building business I'd love to hear more about how you started.
Nice shop. Great video!
Nailed It
Dad did a fine job with you guys.
It looks like you have a nice radial arm saw in the back of the shop. I hope you use it for more than just crosscut.
What's the image that pops up at 4:07?
It's him making some improvements :) on a concrete mixer I believe.

Love watching you guys. Seem like a tight crew. Gotta say, I'm a bit envious.. lack of dependable help has always been my downfall.
Forward Home Enhancements do you pay good? Thats a reason anyone will leave
1:30 oh no 😳😭😢

First time seeing you with all ten....
how much did u give for that table saw
"i have all my fingers and my thumbs" this didnt age well.. poor Jaime
Tickle Me Pink jinxed it, I always say a prayer before woodworking
He didn't lose fingers on the table-saw. It is still such a shame.
I’m no snowflake but this was a touch insensitive...
Just goes to show that working with power tools is serious business. (Even if it's a hobby)
Thumbs up if you are a wood nerd and actually watched the entire video because you're cool and care ✊
That’s a REAL nice planer behind your table saw! Do a video on it! 😃
i like the delta, i own one, but, i'd prefer a powermatic.
Why Pat, the newer one or an old model 66
You had all your fingers
kickass. make sure u coat the top of the cast iron with topcoat by bostick. lates
ive been waiting to see someone review this saw
where has Delta gone, they used to be the king of the hill
they really need help in the marketing department......
Agree on the Marketing...............unfortunately they have discontinued making all the great stuff ( industrial duty tools) they used to make. Now the only good tool they make is the Unisaw (everything else is homeowner quality, I should say junk) I have many of their old tools that today cannot be replaced
Delta got sold to a Chinese company.
nice saw .. but why not sliding table? , it not make sense without normal slider? ,
That saw is the gold standard, everyone try’s to copy.
Dang that's purty. It's like looking at a Ferrari. Might have to go touch myself.
Post a update. Review video. I just bought this saw. No one has a review video
68 years old never been cut by a saw , still have all ten, when I started the old guy training me took me to the table saw and said "boy this is the dumbest piece of equipment in the world, it can't tell the difference in a 2x4 and your hand, (this was before SawStop ) be careful, we you go home I want you take everything you brought with you (fingers).
dude. my heart dropped when i saw this. aged like milk
Blade speeds a little over 120 mph on a unisaw
and this multi angle stop switch, you can hit it with your hand, your leg, your bleeding stump . . .
Exactly
Or maybe what was attached to your bleeding stump might fly off and hit the stop button?
This looks exactly like my Grizzly
Omg. Made me so sad to see the finger wiggle. Amazing to watch your perseverance.
Thank you for leaving this video up. It would have been very tempting to remove it. It serves as a reminder that these tools are dangerous no matter your experience or training. Complacency can kill.
I wish I had a brother to help me lol but somehow I make it work on my own for a bit. Seems like young male adults don’t have work ethic instilled in them anymore. 100% believe your dad when he said people don’t last too long in this line of work. Anyways that’s my rant....great video !
Lord this video didn't age well. So sorry for your accident abd proud of how you have overcome
Man. Watching this video now after the jointer accident. Ugh 😔.
Oh man...
Got a old coworker who lost the tip of his finger. 1st year apprentice. Horrible.
Your table saw looks more like a small semi-pro tool. This is what I used to work with in Germany. www.altendorf.com/en/products.html I don't know if this brand or something equvalent is available in the US.
1:29 is an unfortunate example…
