    I am looking to replace my cheap SIP table saw. I have built it into a workbench but the top is warped. I use a sled and other jigs. Do you use a sled on this as if you can't remove the riving knife I can see it causing issues

    • @SplitbarkStudio

      I havent made a sled for this yet, although I don't think it would cause too much of an issue proving that you make the blade gap slightly thicker to accommodate for the riving knife. A lot of people have spoken about the new Evolution table saw being better than this, I'm not sure if the riving knife can be taken out but worth a look 👍

I don’t know if you have seen the New Table Saw for Site by Evolution as that is seems the same copy of this one except the Riving Knife as you can remove it so if you prefer use the Dedo Blades (I think that is what they cal) you can do that. I guess they done that so it can be used other side of the pond. I got their Rage 5-S but having a few issues which I’m waiting to hear from Evolution. Oh, they Dust collection is also good and got Slow Start Technology.

    @philliproberts6137 2 месяца назад

    Yep agree with all the comments - excellent review delivered in an easy but professional manner. I have bought the Rutlands mitre gauge which is very much like the Incra one I have on my bandsaw. My very budget Workzone saw has actually served me well and is surprisingly accurate for a £100 saw. Unfortunately the pressed tin table has non standard mitre grooves so I snapped up the Rutlands mitre gauge offer and am looking for a saw which was going to be a Dewalt but what a price. I think you have convinced me and I assume the Rutlands upgraded mitre gauge will fit the slots which I also assume are standard 19mm.

    • @SplitbarkStudio
      @SplitbarkStudio 2 месяца назад

      Thanks for your comment. Annoyingly I forgot to add the dimensions of the mitre slot in the video, but yes the mitre slot width is 19mm. Mines reading 19.2mm which may or may not be that slight wobble in the video which I was referring to. I'd like to assume the upgraded fence from Rutlands is compatible but you'd have to check from their website

  • @thomasbroker69
    @thomasbroker69 2 месяца назад

    It all looks like so much plastic and thin metal though, but I like the lightness, the throat plate won’t last very long, but even wood ones need replacing, be good if manufacturers left a copy template to make it easier to make your own. Having a locked riving knife is good idea, though I occasionally take mine off when doing rebates but that’s only because it’s too tall. The horrible brittle plastic blade guard is awful. Be good to see if the fence moves with the machine locked to the floor, but that looks good especially for that kind of money, is there an extending fence? I still use an old ELU which is great with extending rods for the fence so I can rip 8x4’s but not the most accurate thing in the world mind you it’s nearly 30 years old!

    • @SplitbarkStudio
      @SplitbarkStudio 2 месяца назад

      It does have a few plastic parts to it, although the parts that are necessary like the surface and fence seem to be strong enough (at least for what I need). To be honest, I have no clue if there is an extendable fence for this or not but can say the fence and adjustability of it hasn't failed me yet

    I've had mine now for about four months and it hasn't missed a beat. There has been quite a bit of talk about the differences between this and the DeWalt and the only thing anyone has given me is that the gearing screws for the height adjustment are plastic on the Rutlands and metal on the DeWalt. I don't see the price difference being justified by that! It's a cracking saw. I got a mitre gauge from Banggood and shoved the other one in a drawer with all the other standard issue ones. Never had a good one!

    @gregbatchelor9205 2 месяца назад

    This might be a dumb question, but can the riving knife be lowered much below the height of the blade? I've been considering buying this saw for cutting fret slots using a crosscut sled and a specialist fret slotting blade, in other words making multiple non-through cuts. The thing is, those blades have a tiny 0.6mm kerf, so the riving knife would completely block the cut if it can't be lowered out of the way. I'm assuming that others who use table saws for this purpose simply remove the riving knife completely, though I note that you say this model doesn't seem to allow that. Excellent review, by the way!

    • @SplitbarkStudio
      @SplitbarkStudio 2 месяца назад

      Very good question, the riving knife can only go to the 2 heights as shown in the video, as far as I'm aware you aren't able to take the Riving knife out. For me, I have had the worst budget saws possible and they even include the ability to take it out so I think it is a small flaw you cannot do it with this saw. Although I do like the ease of adjusting it

      @gregbatchelor9205 2 месяца назад

      @@SplitbarkStudio thanks for the reply! I actually got a response from Rutlands as well after asking them the same question, they said: "The thickness of the riving knife should always be slightly thinner than the kerf of the blade, as you mention, if the riving knife is thicker than the kerf then the wood will not pass by the knife. The riving knife can be removed but for safety reasons we would never recommend this, it is an important safety feature of the saw." So apparently the riving knife *can* be removed (no idea how, as I don't have the saw yet) but good to know it seems to be possible. And whilst I commend Rutlands for their adherence to full health and safety/liability guidelines, for the purpose I'm looking to use it for, there is virtually zero risk of kickback etc, as may otherwise be the case when using the saw without this feature. Think I might just go for it!
