    I have used a SawStop at work for years and last year I ran a finger into the blade. Still not sure exactly how I did that, but I was in a hurry. Never rush with a table saw. It did hurt, but the cut was minimal when you think about being hit by a 1/8" wide carbide tooth. I was happy to have the safety feature on that day.

      @@danthechippie4439 Europe uses 220 volts. Everyone in the US who uses any power tool with anything over 1 1/2hp runs their tools on 220 volts that is available in every house and business. The only difference between US and European 220 volts is US is 60 hertz and Europe is 50 hertz so there is no issue with power. I suspect that SawStop hasn't gotten into Europe yet is that they are not ready to deal with the distribution and parts/warranty aspect of it. As far as the Dado issue, if and when SawStop decides to sell in Europe, all they will have to do is make a European spec saw with a shorter arbor so you cannot bolt on a Dado head.

    I have the jobsite Skil Saw as it was the only one available for pickup close by when I desperately needed one at the beginning of the pandemic. I love that thing, the worm drive makes cutting large stock a breeze. I've built a heavy cabinet around it with fold-up back and side tables and now can safely rip full size sheets. I even use it to cut 2x4's into 1x4's in one step to get cheap boards 😉

    When I first got into woodworking I found a decent Delta/Rockwell 34-338 on CL for $75. I spent plenty of time disassembling, cleaning the machine, and updating wear parts (rebuilt arbor assembly with new bearings, wave washer, bushings etc.). I spent alot of time learning how the machine works and aligning and "tuning" it while going through this process. A PALS system makes fine tuning a contractor saw much easier. I bought and mounted the 30" delta t3 fence, a link belt for the original 1.5 motor, relocated the power switch, and retained the factory splitter/knife. These updates and upgrades along with a good freud blade make for a wonderfully accurate and stable saw. Does it compare with a uni saw or other full size cabinet saws? Of course not, but the knowledge and understanding gained through the process is invaluable to me. I know much more about a future purchase now. Financially, it's not too bad even with the upgrades and blade. So, IMO quality contractor saw ate great options. Just be prepared to put money into upgrades and time into refurb.

    Great Video Bear, always enjoy them. I am 64 years old and have been a remodeling contractor for over 40 years. I have had 10 table saws through my life time and still have 9 of them. I bought a Contractor SawStop saw along with building a Ron Paulk bench for my shop a couple of years ago. I know it was a lot of money but the older I get the more I keep thinking I might make a stupid mistake. I am glad I didn't buy the Bosch Saw back then because it soon got discontinued. I really do like the SawStop and would buy one again.

    Good video. I love my cabinet saw. I got an extended bed with a mobile base, and it is so easy to push out of the way or reposition it if I need to cut something big. Makes it usable in my small 2 car garage shop. So glad I got it. I was going to get a smaller saw and upgrade after I moved and built a shop, but the mobile base convinced me not to buy a saw I was just going to replace. The digital angle gauge you showed is great. I also just found out they make a digital fence readout that is long enough for the extended table. That is my next upgrade for sure.

    I've been woodworking for the better part of 50 years and have been lucky in having two accidents on my table saws. When I had my second accident earlier this year which required 15 stitches over 3 fingers my better half said that I needed to get something safer than my early 50's Delta Homecraft saw that was nearly as old as I am or she would sell ALL my tools. I felt that a bit drastic but I respected her concern for me to keep all ten of my fingers and I purchased a SawStop 3HP PCS saw. It was the best move I ever made. The saw is a very well made piece of equipment. They are called accidents not on-purposes for a reason. Another thing is CRC 3-36 is a great rust inhibitor followed up with Johnson's paste wax.

    Good video. I inherited a vintage near-perfect 1968/69 Craftsman 113 series from my dad, added 2 extra 12" extensions (with the original 10") and a 15" router table (all cast iron), as well as upgraded the fence to a Delta T3. It weighs a ton, but that is good IMHO, as I do not need to move it often. It does not move when used and vibrations are minimal. It can do 36" rip cuts on the right side & ~30" on the left and handles large sleds with no issue. I'd like to upgrade the motor to a 3 horse (220V) down the road. My upgrade investment was just under $400 total, it does not have any plastic on it and built in USA.

    To those reading this post...if you don’t have a Grrripper, then you should get one or even two. You can order a less technical version for under $30.00.
    Ridgid makes an adjustable support stand for around $33.00. It’s not a roller Tempe, it has a tilting head that’s adjustable. I like mine. In fact I like it so much I might get a 2nd one for side support usage, e.g. running a 4x8 sheet across the saw.

    Great job Brother Bear for a fair and thorough review and recommendations on woodworking saws. I have owned a Grizzly G1023 RL cabinet saw you featured for the past 4 years and very satisfied with its overall performance after the usual adjustments and tweaks. One aspect of any large format saws that are meant for enclosed spaces is "DUST COLLECTION" besides all the other forms and functions, the dust collection just does not "SUCK" as intended (NO PUN INTENDED HERE). I would love to know your thoughts on this aspect that separates the "CUBS" from the "PAPA BEARS"

    I actually have owned the "Finger Slicer 2000" from Harbor Freight for more than a decade and have done a plethora of projects, including a set of cabinets and shaker style doors, as well as shelves and wall hanging units. I can only imagine how much easier this would be with an actual table saw. I can certainly afford to upgrade (sadly not enough room for a cabinet saw) at this point and this video was incredibly informative. Thank you!!
    The accessories recommendations were great, too. I'm not sure the difference between the 2 magnetic tools (calibrator vs angle), but I'll be investigating those. And likely picking up a roller stand.
    I would be curious about drill presses, as I have the Harbor Freight version of that, as well.

I am debating spending boat loads of money on a cabinet table saw and electrician in a suburban house not worth that. But also an owner of a late-90s Ryobi table saw; that my over decade experience tells me that it doesn't work for all the use cases I have. I am switching to Track Saws for cutting down sheet goods but want a very accurate table saw for the rest. You have constantly called out the insanity of this market segment and the real need. You rock! Track saws for the big sheet goods and table saws for all the other versatility.

    I bought probably one of the last Rockwell Unisaws back in 1984 with the sliding table and long guide bars that allow 50" rips with the Jet Lock rip fence. I now use the Unifence which is far superior to any fence I've ever seen or used. For site work I use an old Makita 2711 table saw. (For ripping only) It has a 24" rip capacity and a very accurate fence. Cross cuts are with a sliding compound miter saw or circular saw. I've been a woodworker since 1977 and thankfully, still have all my digits.

    Dado Blade - I have the Rigid jobsite saw (which I really like) and the manual recommendation is to use a 6" blade stack, so I got the Freud 6" stack. I have a VERY small shop, so I also have a rolling cart that my saw sits in (no scissor legs) with surface left and behind the blade to support any work piece that can fold down for storage. Everything is stable and works great.
    I also (when I had a much larger shop) upgraded to an Incra miter gauge and kept it when I sold everything else (just in case...). The Ridgid saw has a standard miter slot so the Incra slides right in and has greatly improved my accuracy.

    Should think about a good track saw and table set up in place of a job site saw - cuts sheet goods much better & safer. I have the Makita and made a table ( Festool style MFT ) for a fraction of the cost. Woodpekers makes a great jig to do all the holes. Also use the table in place of a chop saw.

    Fantastic video. I bought a Delta 36-725t2 table saw after learning more about it on your channel and I LOVE IT. I've heard "Glidecote" (Glidecoat?) is the gold standard for table saw top lube, but haven't tried it yet. It's $$. I started w/ Ridgid jobsite saw w/ scissor stand (264.00) and though I loved the soft start and brake features, the table was warped and fance sucked. Returned it in favor of the Delta.

    For just ripping pine I have the cheap ryobi portable saw that I paid $100 for a few years ago. It struggles to cut thick green treat but for ripping 1x and 2x pine it works great and is light. It is so light it can be tough to rip wood if the saw isn't screwed down to something.

    Biesemeyer, from my understanding, was bought out by Delta. I've tried to buy a Biesemeyer fence with no luck. NO ONE carries them any longer. I ended up buying a Saw stop 52" fence assembly instead. I'm very happy that I did.

    The Craftsman I bought in 1969 is still making sawdust in my son's garage. The link belt runs "smoother" because it decouples the frequency modes that make a stiff normal V belt whip up and down between the pulleys. I rigged a pulley type of belt tensioner on that Craftsman to take out that bouncing.

    I've used a lot of saws. I prefer the cabinet sawstop. The blade stopper is just a bonus to me. Owned it for a few years now and still love almost everything about it. Only complaint is the riving knife doesnt line up properly with the blade. Little bit of painters tape as a shim fixes it tho.

  • @tluciffid
    @tluciffid 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Like you Bear, I also have the 1st gen of the Lowe's Delta saw, the 2 issues I found with it are: 1) the factory dust collector does not work, I ended up pulling mine off the factory wheel base and building my own enclosed base with a pan connected to the dust collection hose. 2) the stock fence, well first off the tape measure on it is accurate at 2" from the blade and out almost 1/4" at 15" from the blade lol, I fixed this with a Kreg stick on tape measure over the top of the stock one. Outside of that, yes, it's a great saw for the money. Plan on selling mine soon and upgrading to a full cabinet like the unisaw or possibly the grizzly, haven't made up my mind yet.

    One thing that makes true cabinet saws great is that adjusting the blade parallelism is a piece of cake compared to any saw that mounts the trunions to the table top.

      I paid big bucks years ago (25 at least) for a super Craftsman Heavy Duty model -everything about it was amazing except…..wait for it- the trunions were off and I hammered on them and they wouldn’t/couldn’t move at all. I drove it back to the store after making many long calls and demonstrated what the problem was. Craftsman wouldn’t replace it or let me return it. Yeah my brothers I’m serious …and this was back when they’d replace any broken tool but not my saw. They thought it worked fine and my expectations for its straight cutting was unrealistic! Ahahahahahahamuhahaha! Last time I bought anything from Craftsman.

      @@firefighter9901 - I had no idea. I sold the saw this past summer because I was moving. I set what, I thought, was a fair market price. It sold quickly. It wasn’t until I got the new Grizzly catalog that I realized what a bargain the purchaser got. I’m happy with it because the buyer seemed to be a nice young guy starting out and I got the feeling that he would get lot of good use out of the saw.
