I’ve had this saw for over a year. I integrated it into my 4x8 workbench and it has been a workhorse. I use it multiple times every week without any issues. Great saw for the price.
I just bought one and made 9 identical cheerboxes for my daughter's cheerteam after i first changed out the provided blade with an 80 tooth blade. They are 24 inch wide by 24 inch deep by 16 inch tall.
Congrats on your home --it's always fun to build a collection of tools! I probably use my miter saw more than the table saw for a lot of projects around the house, but nonetheless, I still find plenty of opportunities to get tons of use out of this one.
@@HomeLifeLeisureended up getting the skil miter saw first. Been loving it. I’ve been able to get by with my circular saw for now so haven’t purchased a table saw.
Had mine for a few years now, it’s a tank. Best bang for the buck out of any 10” jobsite saw. A few take always after my time with it: 1. The fence is absolute dog crap. Not the rack and pinion system, that’s never let me down. I mean the actual fence… mine isn’t straight end to end. There is a deflection in the middle that bows away from the blade. It’s minimal, at about 0.02”. But that’s enough to bugger up your rips if you’re trying to make tight joints and edges. So do yourself a favour and make an extended ply or MDF fence asap. Odds are they’re all a little wonky. 2. The blade that comes with it sucks. It’s super sharp right out of the box, but it’s akin to a butter knife in very short order. A good combination blade will serve you well. 3. The throat insert is bad to the point of being dangerous. Doing thin rips where the insert is taking the full weight of the wood and you pressing down on it, it’ll flex bigtime. And the space under it is somewhat convoluted. Can’t just whip up a simple zero clearance to plop in there, it needs to be carved or CNC’d out to fit. There is a guy with a YT channel that makes them, he’s the only one I think. Made of MDF and it’s great, not expensive either 👌 th-cam.com/video/wducbw-rH78/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aQDvvfozPygR_LFS
Agree, I can't imagine finding a better saw for the price! Nice tip on the fence! I've mainly been using the saw for construction purpose and not fine woodworking, so I haven't seen issue yet. Fortunately, my blade is still cutting as smooth as the day that I unboxed it, but then again, most of my rips have been soft woods.
Great video you made ,only wish I found it sooner as the manual was a little confusing to me mainly the riving knife part as this is my first table saw at 66 years old.
You didn't show how to adjust the red marker. It looks easy enough I was just wondering why they don't give you a hex key that fits it! (or maybe they do? That's why Im here :))
At first I was surprised the 24T blade was labeled for fine cuts, but now I can see why --it rips really clean without tear out. Assuming it may be rougher than a 48T blade on cross-cuts though, but I haven't tried that out yet.
2:15 PLEASE TAKE NOTE: My saw came with the rail LOCKED (the handle is on the right side of the table to lock and unlock the rail) SO I thought my knob was too tight! NOPE, the rail was locked!
Just got this. I know you’re supposed to use the guard, but if we lived in a world where one wanted to cut without the plastic guard so they can use a gripper. but still wanted to have the riving knife for a cross thru cut, would you remove all the screws on the guard and pull it off or would you just use the non cross thru riving knife?
Interesting scenario, and seems like it could probably work as long as the gripper can clear the unguarded riving knife. Personally though, I’m pretty risk adverse and would probably try to use push sticks with the fully assembled guards rather than disassembling the safety guard. Good luck whichever direction you go!
@@HomeLifeLeisure just to give you an update, I had to use the non thru riving knife to use the gripper. When I took the plastic guard off the standard knife, it was too high up to pass over with gripper. Also, it was a plinth I was ripping, only 8 inches long, so feeding it thru with guard on and push stick seemed more dangerous IMO. She did great. Cover is back on as I like to use it when I can, I mostly use this for trim board and it works excellent. My first table saw and I love this saw lol what a value. Thanks for the video!

Very helpful video. I was having trouble understanding the two different scales.
Glad this was helpful! I’m still in the habit of double checking my measurement to ensure I’m using the correct scale.
Thank you I just bought this on Amazon for 269 👍🏻
Thanks for the review, I had a older model, and love the portability of this unit
( Had to figure out the accessories lol)

Sounds like a fun project!
Great video! just got our first home and starting to stock up with the essentials. this one will be next!

Glad you found it helpful! I'm a fan of being able to swap out the through-cut and non-through cut riving knives without any tools.

Looks like a workhorse!
I love it thank you
Interesting.. the one I got in Sweden came with a 48 tooth blade and an aluminum throat plate with a flat head locking dial.
At first I was surprised the 24T blade was labeled for fine cuts, but now I can see why --it rips really clean without tear out. Assuming it may be rougher than a 48T blade on cross-cuts though, but I haven't tried that out yet.
Va, fick du en aluminiumplatta? Då måste de uppdaterat sedan jag köpte min :o Suveränt!

Is the table insert made of metal or plastic?
It’s metal with a red coating on top of it.
@@HomeLifeLeisure 👌
Well done. Subbed
Much appreciated!
What model? Also how much?
Mine is model TS6307-00. I paid around $280 for it 11 months ago.
It’s a great saw and a great price. I’m picking one up this week for my birthday present! Lol
Amazon 269.00 as of 10/2024
