I just happened to walk into Lowe's (years ago) three different times when they just happened to have boxes stacked along the front aisle of (1) Skil drill press, (2) Skil table saw, and (3) Skil miter saw all for $99 each. That's all I need to do lots of work.
100% agree on all of it.one thing i wiuld do differently if you already have a table saw, miter saw and add a drill press. Build an oversized drill press table. not really any cheaper, but give you more stability on longer stock.
I have seen you on RUclips & watched a couple videos here & there.. but now that I’ve read into woodworking the past year & finally began to understand things like (what drill bits pair with what size screws/bolts, why & how to find the studs in the wall & why it’s important, how to USE my drill, why CLAMPS rule, why MDF for the most part SUCKS, & so much more..) Well now I’m finding…. that YOU HAVE A LOT OF REALLY GOOD INFORMATION & EXCELLENT / RELEVANT INSIGHT to give. You know your stuff & you’re really on point with exactly what someone who’s really seriously trying to be most effective in woodworking is going to be concerned with. Like I said at first I just sort of passed you up. But now I see that you’re just for the slightly more serious in-it-to-win-it woodworkers that aren’t playing around. I’ll definitely be tuning in to you more often. Thanks for existing. - Erin K
My first big purchase was a rigid miter saw from eBay. It's a solid little saw. My second purchase was 36 volt cordless metabo circular saw and I got a air dye grinder and wood burners for carving but my very very first purchase was carving knives cuz I'll just really like sharpening knives
I got the DeWalt planer with cart and outfeed tables only $650, best financial decision. I make guitars so I absolutely need perfectly flat boards specifically for the necks and fretboards.
Hey Mr. 731! Thanks for the video! My two cents worth for everyone: Dust collection is a must for the tablesaw, jointer, and planer. Love your shirt! Take care, brother!
I got the Wahuda 10" jointer and its awesome. Takes up less room than the floor models does everything i need. Didn't need a aircraft carrier jointer taking up to much room. If i need to do a long piece wood there are work arounds
ANYONE LOOKING TO BUY THIS CMT BLADE!! right now they're having a 35% off sale on these 10" and 12" blades. after the coupon code found in the video, I got the 10" blade for $63!! what a steal!! that's like half of the best blade on the market. not trying to push this as an advertisement, but BUY THIS NOW!!!
Hey if you are on a budget and need an awesome affordable table saw. Craftsman have just brought out a new table saw and it's really awesome for an affordable price. $235.00 is about what I spent ( I rounded up a few bucks too). That's the price with tax included. The fence is great. Locks in place and I get square cuts every time.
Thanks for this. Depending on where you buy lumber, a planer can save you a pile of money in not having to buy 3S lumber. I can go straight to the kiln dried unsurfaced supplier and buy wood for excellent prices that I surface myself.
my first major tool was definately the table saw. It being the most versatile. Then it was the jointer. i still dont have a planer, or a miter saw but am planning on getting a planer soon.
Freud > CMT I have full kerf rip blades in both brands for the same price. The carbide is double the thickness on the Freud, and higher quality. The CMT is a throw away blade where the Freud can be sharpened multiple times
I had three brand new dewalt mitre saw delivered to the job took all three out of the boxes set them up and not one could make a square cut the company I was there for said you have to adjust the saws I packed them back and sent them back if I’m spending money on tools they need to be right when you buy replaced them with hitachi and a makita experienced no issue
I got the hercules new model tablesaw with rack an pinion fence. I gotta say I'm HIGHLY impressed with it for the price point. The miter gauge is trash so plan on building a sled for it.
I think the drill press has always been under rated in the Woodworking community. Candle holders, shaker sets, even bowls can be done with this and enough pays for the press. But I agree, I rarely use a jointer, planer and cabinet table saw...
Thank you for the video, this is the first video I see from your channel, and god bless you, it feels natural to listen to you if that makes any sense. I will be watching this video for many times before I get started with my own journey.
I had a DWS779 sliding miter saw and returned it because of the huge amount of space it takes up. Replaced it with a Bosch GCM12SD and never looked back. Not quite as solid IMO, but the space saving was invaluable. Add the laser for $30 too... just saying.
I got the Kreg ACS instead of a table saw because it is much safer, easy to move and store out of the way (in my garage) and the things I can’t do with it (compared to a table saw) can be done with a router table or hand tools. I also don’t need a miter saw. But I admit that it’s not as efficient for repeating the same cut a bunch of times because you have to spend a bit more time sliding the board under the track. That’s not a problem for me though because I’m just having fun and I don’t have to worry about losing fingers or getting a board kicked back at me. A friend gave me a bunch of old bench planes that I’m going to try to fix up and see how long I can go without a planer or jointer. I like the idea of not needing a big expensive dust collection system and being able to work without annoying my whole neighborhood all the time. The trade off is upfront learning curve and slower progress on each project. But I think I will enjoy the process and challenge more. A CNC and highly mechanized shop is great for the few who intend to make a living from woodworking, but I would bet that a huge majority of the people who watch your videos are not professionals and don’t have the money or space for that. So I actually liked your earlier videos before you had all the pro machines better. I still like what you’re doing now though.
My bosch contractor table saw is really nice. I have, maybe the smallest space ever, so I can't have a cabinet saw, but that bosch works very well for me.
Excellent advice as always. My first major tool was a miter saw that I still use. Unfortunately it does not slide. Second major tool was a bandsaw that was gifted to me. Highly recommend getting one of those ASAP! I use that thing all the time.
Thanks for the tips. I have that same dewalt saw and it cuts great. I have an old porter skill saw that i have used instead of a table saw for two reasons. First i don’t have a shop so i can’t set up the table the way it needs to be set. Second i trust my self to make those straight cuts. Learning how to do project with basic tools builds a foundation for a master craftsman.
After a bunch of research AND before I saw this video, I just purchased a CMT blade for my Saw Stop Job Site Pro. It's night night and day compared to the stock Sawstop blade!!! It was nice t see that you recommended them as well!
Trying to start getting into woodworking....watching your videos along with several other content creators is making the process a lot less intimidating. Thanks and keep up the good work!
I was looking at one, though out of my price range at the time. Plus I needed something I could carry up and down my steps. I live in an apartment building and half to do all my cutting, sanding, staining/ painting outside. It definitely sucks, but it's what I have to do for now...until I find a garage, or work shop of some sort. I went with the Craftsman table saw they just put out. Its really a decent table saw for the price. 235.00.....right around there and that's including the taxes too.
@@ericwilliams538 Sounds like a good solution to your problem.... I hope you good luck in finding yourself a better work place and thanks for replying to my comment.... :)
As a comfortable happiest, I have the same exact miter and table saws that you have. Absolutely love both of them. They can't be beat in my opinion, based on the cost of the tool.
If you want a more reasonable compound miter saw that doesn't require much space in back, consider the Metabo HPT 12-Inch. I bought mine when it was called a Hitachi 10 years ago and it's a wonderful saw. About $400 and functions like a Kapex (with forward rails) for a LOT less $$$. I'll put this up against ANY Dewalt. FYI: if you want a really clean cut in stock up to 1½" on a table saw, consider a 7¼" blade. These are very thin so there's less saw dust wastage and low power requirement.
The radial arm saw is an excellent alternative to compound miter sliding saw. Much cheaper now because most people do not know, or many do not have the temperament to really use it safely. The realistic comparison is RAS vs Compound miter slider, or just compound miter saw, not RAS vs table saw. This is in terms of cost and shop footprint.
For the Table saw if all your cutting a lot of 3/4 -1" stock you can use a smaller blade, like a 7.25 circular saw blade. Will cut faster and smaller kerf with less sawdust
@@ToddAdams1971 10" blade. Go here and watch. Hitachi is now Metabo. ruclips.net/video/5oi5BTKl2hY/видео.html. Then, go here. www.toolbarn.com/metabo-hpt-c10rjsm.html/ By the way, it is very powerful. Recently, I have been ripping 10' 8/4 maple boards with no problems. The stand is also very stable.
@@russmartin4189 WOW. Thanks. I just got the DeWalt contractor with the stand for $600. I guess I missed out. Not that I'm not happy with the saw. It's accurate and powerful.
I had a Rigid job site table but I returned it and bought the Delta 36-725 and I’m very happy with the Delta. If you need portability get a job site saw otherwise the 36-725 or newer version is a superior saw. I also didn’t like the direct drive system on job site saws. You mentioned WEN products, I have a WEN band saw, belt/disc sander and oscillating spindle sander and I think they are very good tools. WEN tools are underrated imho. I use hand planes which I have a lot of experience with and I’m able to get the results needed to square hardwood or softwood for my projects. I buy from a locale lumber yard and some local harvested kiln dried 4 quarter and larger but power planes or jointers aren’t on my list. They can make short work of cleaning up a board but the noise, wood chips & dust is a big factor in not having them.
I bought the Wen jointer and it's actually really good. So if your short on cash you might want to try the Wen, I also bought the Dewalt DW735x first but had touble leveling boards even with the sled.
I'm just getting started and I'm about to buy a jobsite table saw. I'm really kicking myself because a several years ago, the father of a girl I was dating had two older, but still very nice cabinet saws (one was his father's that he inherited when he died) He just wanted the 2nd one out of his basement, so he said if I hauled it out I could have it. I wanted it but at the time I wasn't really into woodworking and had no idea what it was worth. I procrastinated and we ended up breaking up before I could get it out of there. Lesson learned though. Now if anyone offers me tools, I grab them up ASAP!
Starting off with cheapo machines i feel safe in saying just save and buy the good one. There are some that can get you by but if you want as much accuracy as possible, spend the money.
@@brettfaris9883 I guess it's really according to the type of woodwork you do. I use a lot of rough lumber so I do use the planer for some projects. I do a lot of turning on the lathe. So the bandsaw is important to me. I think the planer is wise if you do a lot of board work.
I know its probably a long shot for some starting woodworkers, I have only started couple of years ago and I would definitely recommend or even look into projects that requires Router table setup, its absolut game-changer custom handles for drawers even to make nice edge or unique edge on some of your projects
Looking back, at when the stimulus checks were being issued, and I received mine. I sat down and planned out what to buy. I bought a few things first that I actually wish I would have waited and got later on. I got a DeWalt combo kit, and some hand tools. Yes a great investment towards wood working, but I wish I would have gotten a table saw, planer, and jointer first.....then the combo set.... I have a Craftsman table saw now ( after a bad purchase from Harbor Freight, that I took back)... The "should of, would of and could of's" sort of beat me up, but, I've learned to lighten up on myself a bit here lately. Just lessons in life that hopefully I can pass on to others as in what not to do. Well, depending on what sort of direction you want to go in with wood working. I guess I was stuck in my "construction work" frame of mind as to why I did what I did. Thinking I could do some side work to make money to buy everything else I needed for wood working projects.... Thanks for sharing your experiences with all. I just know that wood working and construction work are two totally different types of work. P.S. if any one has made it this far with reading my "book" I wrote here... If you are on a budget, and need an awesome table saw, the new Craftsman table saw that's just come out, its awesome for the price. The fence is straight ( and the latch that locks it in place is rock solid), the table itself is straight, and the stand is decent. Over all on a scale of 1 to 10....I give it a 5.5.
Another silly person who spent the stimulus, the government loves people like you, invest it! My first $1200 stimulus has returned me $3600 in the 1st year, took that along with the other stimulus checks and bought and already sold a piece of land, in all, the stimulus checks helped our family make $27,000. Just gotta be patient
@@betterthanideserve76 wow, that's awesome sounds great. Good for you!!! Glad to hear you invested your stimulus money wisely. So, I'm silly for spending the stimulus money on tools to get my own business going??? So I'm silly for creating a future for myself and a legacy to pass on to my older boys?? So I'm silly for turning my life around with the stimulus money. Ok, good to know. This is the first time on this channel that someone has been rude, and out right offensive. Yes, it is a social media site and there is trash everywhere I'm sad to say.
Hey! Rocking The Chosen Shirt! I love it! Thanks for this video, I'm not quite ready to buy a big machine but this video was recommended and I thought I'd give it a watch. I have subscribed and will continue to follow your videos so I can grow as a carpenter. P.S. I love your editing man, the time travel transition was awesome! I used to do that on older videos I use to edit for a dentist. You have inspired me to get creative with transitions again. Love, Peace and Taco Grease!
Yeah, I was drooling over that at lowes just last week. I didnt have the cash for it, and I got the Craftsman table saw. Its actually a pretty damned good little table saw. I'm a DeWalt guy, and I am comparing the Craftsman to a DeWalt table saw.
Hey Matt, I know you also mentioned about getting a Band Saw, I was going back and forth about one and my actual usage of it. I would up going a Sears outlet store that was closing their doors and and got a Rikon 14" band saw that was a floor display(with everything)unit, still new for $400 and some change. Excellent piece of equipment (especially after I put my Alex Snodgrass adjustments). Shop around for some good deals.
If I invite your dad to my birthday party, will he buy me a planner? Very informative video! I started w/ a compound miter saw. I wanted to replace the base boards, door and window trim in my house, and that's the fastest way to cut it. Next came a Rigid table saw because what's a garage without a table saw. My mom got it for me after I helped her make a major move I started into wood turning and added a band saw, drill press, lathe, sanding station (disk sander & belt sander in one) and finally a small jointer and a planer. Now that I 'know' what I'm doing, I get to replace them all! (except for the band saw & drill press - I bought nice ones)
I have the Delta Cruzer and it is a great saw. It is heavy if you are taking it to a jobsite, but I would imaging that if you are going for a saw with zero clearance behind the saw you are using it as a stationary unit in a shop. It also has the lights that cast a shadow line rather than the laser, which is very nice as well. It was a big upgrade from the Chicago Electric.
If space isn’t an issue that delta table saw is the best to get but if space is an issue the one I would recommend are actually called jobsite table saws basically bigger contractor saws that come with a stand with wheels and also have larger cut capacity and are more powerful ,the dewault is a good one they basically invited the jobsite table saw and are one of the best, skill saw makes the most powerful and the most serviceable cause they but there worm drive motor on it and the metabo HPt basically very similar to the dewault but has the largest rip capacity at 35” and has a small feed extender on the back to help with ripping cuts and the biggest plus for the metabo it regular goes on sell it’s normally around $570 but last year around Christmas I got it for $329
The delta really doesn't take up anymore room than the bigger jobsite saws on stands. The benefits outweigh the disadvantages. Its heavy cast iron top reduces vibration, its 27 inch deep table leaves you more room in front of the blade, the fence is super accurate, rock splid,and easily adjusted. I know some of the mobile jobsite saws can take a full dado stack,but most dont. They almost all have aluminum tops which are prone to warping and denting,and all of the mobile jobsite saws use the loud universal motors,except the skilsaw. A table saw is a big purchase and 5 or 6 inches difference in width and the price of the delta being around $600,I'd pic the delta or one similar and reap the benefits they offer rather than struggle with a jobsite saws short comings. You can build alot with a small jobsite saw,but in a few years you'll outgrow it and wish you had more.
@@ciphercode2298 that’s why I said if you have the space get the delta cause not everyone has shop space , some people do it in the same garage they park in and the delta would take up to much room and I personally have a little shed and setup in my drive way and in the amount of space that delta takes up I have the metabo jobsite saw folded up two folding work benches and a packout tower full of tools and a battery powered lawnmower
Matt, I am starting to get into woodworking. I have a used Shopsmith, a lathe-based 5-in-1 tool, drill press, horizontal boring, table saw, wood lathe, and disc sander. You can add numerous accessories-band saw, scroll saw, planer, belt sander, drum sander. You can sharpen tools with the 12" disc sander, and so much more. You can change from one tool to another in just 1 to 5 minutes depending on the tool and how much you practice changes. This company started in late 1940's and is STILL IN BUSINESS in Dayton, Ohio today. ALL parts are still available brand new! Great, high quality tool. Check it out!😊
@@bugman-ir8cw My tubes which hold the table saw do not lock tightly and properly, thus letting the table hit the saw blade as it vibrates! Then I have to quickly shut it down! It drives me crazy! It's going to be an expensive repair. But the band saw and everything else is great! But when it doesn't vibrate, and it cuts properly, it does cut very nicely.
One of the big differences in the higher end tools is just pure power, not just larger size. Quality of cuts and milling decreases if you push a tool beyond it's capacities, which isn't hard if you're talking about 15-18A 120V tools. Smaller platforms and motor sizes substantially decrease what you can do effectively, but can still be perfectly suitable for a lot of people.
Buy used when possible. I paid a 1300 for a Jet 3hp Xacta table saw and Jet 14 inch bandsaw with a riser block. I bought a 20 inch 1hp drill press for $200. I would have ended up much lower quality buying new
Excellent video! Well made, direct, and to the point! Keep up the good work. I'll be checking out some of your other videos as well. Cheers from Tomcat Airguns & Tomcat Woodworking.
Whichever order works when you can find the best deal on Craigslist marketplace and so on. Just got a new to me $600 dust collector looks like brand new for $100 time to buy and runs like new.
Good video Matt. Don't forget for those on a budget to hit the used market. I bought a Ridgid TS 3650 for $350 about 10 year ago and it's still going strong.
They hold there value. Tuned properly I can get glue line rips with a standard ripping blade. The edge literally looks like someone took a plane to it. It’s a great saw to this day for what you pay for them.
Great video. I have the same drill press and would like to ask where you got the table from? I also was going for the DW 735 but got the WEN helical planer instead.
I actually saw a Ridgid 6" Jointer on FB marketplace for $300 in my area as well as a Ridgid contractor 10" table saw for $350. It was one with the motor hanging off the back. I actually use a 113 Craftsman ts from the '70's that I bought for $75 and have since put a Biesemeyer fence on it. I have it on a mobile base and have a dust collector hooked up to it. The only thing it doesn't have is a riving knife. But I can't justify trying to sell it to buy another one just for that feature.
First...Love the shirt! Best show streaming. Can't get enough of it. Thanks for the video. Can you give me some advice regarding the worthiness of purchasing the Delta vs the 10" Dewalt Table saw?
thanks. The Delta (now made by Ridgid) has one of the best fences on the market for the price. It has plenty of power for any hardwoods and just works well. The Delta 36-725T2 is the same as this www.ridgid.com/us/en/10-inch-contractor-table-saw-with-cast-iron-top-r4560 So either one is what I recommend for this price range.
The delta tablesaw isn’t bad but it’s one major flaw is that the rail comes in two pieces. I haven’t been able to get it straight. It seems like a inevitability to upgrade and buy their $200 replacement which is all one piece
I have the Dewalt 7485 right now but the one thing I hate .... hate ... is the blade is too close to the front of the saw! It doesn't have the room to line up with the fence. I have had it for a few years and it's time to upgrade. I am in a two car garage and the larger saws like the Harvey and others is just too big. Do you have the newest model of the Delta table saw? Are you happy with the features? I am binge watching all the videos you have and find them to be great and they caver the stuff no one talks about! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the information, I am looking at the Delta 36-725t2 with the 15amp motor. Currently using my craftsman table saw built in 1978, good little work horse. Maintained it well, parts are difficult to come by. Created a saw dust chute to minimize dust. As you stated a crosscut sled is a must. This has come in very handy. Again, Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills. Ernest🪚
I have my Grandad’s mid ‘60s craftsman. Upgraded it a bit but underpowered and lacks accuracy. Same as you I’m in need of a new one. Appreciate the video here

Have you ever watched Bibleproject videos here on RUclips?
I bought the Bosch GCM12SD Mitre saw and a SawStop PCS, have zero regrets. I also bought that planer , and switched out to helical cutter
I just happened to walk into Lowe's (years ago) three different times when they just happened to have boxes stacked along the front aisle of (1) Skil drill press, (2) Skil table saw, and (3) Skil miter saw all for $99 each. That's all I need to do lots of work.
My Delta 36-425 table top warpped also. Good they had 5 years warranty. Got a new replacement at Lowes and sold it and then went for a Sawstop upgrade
When you said “ if it ain’t square you wasted your money”, I hit the sub button!

Hey if you are on a budget and need an awesome affordable table saw. Craftsman have just brought out a new table saw and it's really awesome for an affordable price.
$235.00 is about what I spent ( I rounded up a few bucks too).
That's the price with tax included.
The fence is great. Locks in place and I get square cuts every time.
Miter saw, table saw, planer, THEN drill press. Thank you!
It was jet? I would have a hard time letting that go also.
Thanks for this. Depending on where you buy lumber, a planer can save you a pile of money in not having to buy 3S lumber. I can go straight to the kiln dried unsurfaced supplier and buy wood for excellent prices that I surface myself.
I have dust right system from Rockler and would highly recommend.
my first major tool was definately the table saw. It being the most versatile. Then it was the jointer. i still dont have a planer, or a miter saw but am planning on getting a planer soon.

I got the hercules new model tablesaw with rack an pinion fence. I gotta say I'm HIGHLY impressed with it for the price point. The miter gauge is trash so plan on building a sled for it.
Once dialed in, the Skil 6307 ROCKS. (in terms of fence squareness as mentioned around the 3:45 mark)
I always learn from you! I'm a basic wood worker right now. But, we an eye on the future to expand my tools and skil.
Agree with you on the drill press. bought one off a work mate, very handy tools.
Another awesome video!!! Thank you for the content
I think the drill press has always been under rated in the Woodworking community. Candle holders, shaker sets, even bowls can be done with this and enough pays for the press. But I agree, I rarely use a jointer, planer and cabinet table saw...

My bosch contractor table saw is really nice. I have, maybe the smallest space ever, so I can't have a cabinet saw, but that bosch works very well for me.
Great video Matt! Best words were the testimony on the Chosen t-shirt. Isn’t that all of us before Christ?
Excellent advice as always. My first major tool was a miter saw that I still use. Unfortunately it does not slide. Second major tool was a bandsaw that was gifted to me. Highly recommend getting one of those ASAP! I use that thing all the time.
Thanks for the tips. I have that same dewalt saw and it cuts great. I have an old porter skill saw that i have used instead of a table saw for two reasons. First i don’t have a shop so i can’t set up the table the way it needs to be set. Second i trust my self to make those straight cuts. Learning how to do project with basic tools builds a foundation for a master craftsman.
After a bunch of research AND before I saw this video, I just purchased a CMT blade for my Saw Stop Job Site Pro. It's night night and day compared to the stock Sawstop blade!!! It was nice t see that you recommended them as well!
I have a kobalt contractors saw. I love it! Very solid work horse, worth the money
Trying to start getting into woodworking....watching your videos along with several other content creators is making the process a lot less intimidating. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Love my Delta Table Saw ... I bought the newer one .... so far we'll worth the $600 ... no complaints.... thanks for your videos :)
I was looking at one, though out of my price range at the time.
Plus I needed something I could carry up and down my steps.
I live in an apartment building and half to do all my cutting, sanding, staining/ painting outside.
It definitely sucks, but it's what I have to do for now...until I find a garage, or work shop of some sort.
I went with the Craftsman table saw they just put out.
Its really a decent table saw for the price. 235.00.....right around there and that's including the taxes too.
@@ericwilliams538 Sounds like a good solution to your problem.... I hope you good luck in finding yourself a better work place and thanks for replying to my comment.... :)
Your videos help me do much, you have no idea!
Thank you. I’m so glad they help
As a comfortable happiest, I have the same exact miter and table saws that you have. Absolutely love both of them. They can't be beat in my opinion, based on the cost of the tool.
Same planer, too.
My bandsaw is my best friend 😁
If you want a more reasonable compound miter saw that doesn't require much space in back, consider the Metabo HPT 12-Inch. I bought mine when it was called a Hitachi 10 years ago and it's a wonderful saw. About $400 and functions like a Kapex (with forward rails) for a LOT less $$$. I'll put this up against ANY Dewalt. FYI: if you want a really clean cut in stock up to 1½" on a table saw, consider a 7¼" blade. These are very thin so there's less saw dust wastage and low power requirement.
Great info and love your 'Chosen' shirt!
Nice stuff (info) sir. Thank you for the input, this really helps. Chet
The radial arm saw is an excellent alternative to compound miter sliding saw. Much cheaper now because most people do not know, or many do not have the temperament to really use it safely.
The realistic comparison is RAS vs Compound miter slider, or just compound miter saw, not RAS vs table saw. This is in terms of cost and shop footprint.
Dang, you got some generous family members!
For the Table saw if all your cutting a lot of 3/4 -1" stock you can use a smaller blade, like a 7.25 circular saw blade. Will cut faster and smaller kerf with less sawdust
Matt Outlaw is the best name I've ever heard
The Metabo HPT is an excellent contractor's table saw that comes with wheels. It runs about $400.
Is it a 8 & 1/2 inch blade? Sounds awfully cheap.
@@ToddAdams1971 10" blade. Go here and watch. Hitachi is now Metabo. ruclips.net/video/5oi5BTKl2hY/видео.html. Then, go here. www.toolbarn.com/metabo-hpt-c10rjsm.html/ By the way, it is very powerful. Recently, I have been ripping 10' 8/4 maple boards with no problems. The stand is also very stable.
It's a great saw. I got it for $299 last Christmas holiday.
@@russmartin4189 WOW. Thanks. I just got the DeWalt contractor with the stand for $600. I guess I missed out. Not that I'm not happy with the saw. It's accurate and powerful.
@@ProfitTigerSystems same here actually it was 329 from 529 then a week later 299 i went and got my 30 dollars back, i really like the saw
Wen makes a nice dust collector as well. They are really making a name for themselves.
Great video! Great tips. Thanks for the intel!
I had a Rigid job site table but I returned it and bought the Delta 36-725 and I’m very happy with the Delta. If you need portability get a job site saw otherwise the 36-725 or newer version is a superior saw. I also didn’t like the direct drive system on job site saws.
You mentioned WEN products, I have a WEN band saw, belt/disc sander and oscillating spindle sander and I think they are very good tools. WEN tools are underrated imho.
I use hand planes which I have a lot of experience with and I’m able to get the results needed to square hardwood or softwood for my projects. I buy from a locale lumber yard and some local harvested kiln dried 4 quarter and larger but power planes or jointers aren’t on my list. They can make short work of cleaning up a board but the noise, wood chips & dust is a big factor in not having them.
Love that shirt! Love that show!! Love your channel!!! Love Jesus!!!!
Thanks so much!!
Great video Matt!!! Good advice and content. 👊🏻👊🏻
👊🏻
Love that shirt... I bought one as soon as I they came out with it.
I bought the Wen jointer and it's actually really good. So if your short on cash you might want to try the Wen, I also bought the Dewalt DW735x first but had touble leveling boards even with the sled.
I'm just getting started and I'm about to buy a jobsite table saw. I'm really kicking myself because a several years ago, the father of a girl I was dating had two older, but still very nice cabinet saws (one was his father's that he inherited when he died) He just wanted the 2nd one out of his basement, so he said if I hauled it out I could have it. I wanted it but at the time I wasn't really into woodworking and had no idea what it was worth. I procrastinated and we ended up breaking up before I could get it out of there. Lesson learned though. Now if anyone offers me tools, I grab them up ASAP!
I love my Rikon 10-326 but if I was to buy one today,I would look very hard at the Harvey brand.
Starting off with cheapo machines i feel safe in saying just save and buy the good one. There are some that can get you by but if you want as much accuracy as possible, spend the money.
Thanks for the video. I got a good start on these tools. Right now I’m debating whether to get a planer or band saw next.
Band saw!
@@tammybledsoe3718 thanks! I’m so torn! I’m leaning band saw though.
@@brettfaris9883 I guess it's really according to the type of woodwork you do. I use a lot of rough lumber so I do use the planer for some projects. I do a lot of turning on the lathe. So the bandsaw is important to me. I think the planer is wise if you do a lot of board work.
I know its probably a long shot for some starting woodworkers, I have only started couple of years ago and I would definitely recommend or even look into projects that requires Router table setup, its absolut game-changer custom handles for drawers even to make nice edge or unique edge on some of your projects
Like your Chosen Tshirt !!
My table saw came with a CMT blade on it and I love it, been a great blade for me the entire time.
Looking back, at when the stimulus checks were being issued, and I received mine.
I sat down and planned out what to buy.
I bought a few things first that I actually wish I would have waited and got later on.
I got a DeWalt combo kit, and some hand tools.
Yes a great investment towards wood working, but I wish I would have gotten a table saw, planer, and jointer first.....then the combo set....
I have a Craftsman table saw now ( after a bad purchase from Harbor Freight, that I took back)...
The "should of, would of and could of's" sort of beat me up, but, I've learned to lighten up on myself a bit here lately.
Just lessons in life that hopefully I can pass on to others as in what not to do. Well, depending on what sort of direction you want to go in with wood working.
I guess I was stuck in my "construction work" frame of mind as to why I did what I did.
Thinking I could do some side work to make money to buy everything else I needed for wood working projects....
Thanks for sharing your experiences with all.
I just know that wood working and construction work are two totally different types of work.
P.S. if any one has made it this far with reading my "book" I wrote here...
If you are on a budget, and need an awesome table saw, the new Craftsman table saw that's just come out, its awesome for the price.
The fence is straight ( and the latch that locks it in place is rock solid), the table itself is straight, and the stand is decent.
Over all on a scale of 1 to 10....I give it a 5.5.
Another silly person who spent the stimulus, the government loves people like you, invest it! My first $1200 stimulus has returned me $3600 in the 1st year, took that along with the other stimulus checks and bought and already sold a piece of land, in all, the stimulus checks helped our family make $27,000. Just gotta be patient
@@betterthanideserve76 wow, that's awesome sounds great. Good for you!!!
Glad to hear you invested your stimulus money wisely.
So, I'm silly for spending the stimulus money on tools to get my own business going???
So I'm silly for creating a future for myself and a legacy to pass on to my older boys??
So I'm silly for turning my life around with the stimulus money.
Ok, good to know.
This is the first time on this channel that someone has been rude, and out right offensive.
Yes, it is a social media site and there is trash everywhere I'm sad to say.
Hey! Rocking The Chosen Shirt! I love it! Thanks for this video, I'm not quite ready to buy a big machine but this video was recommended and I thought I'd give it a watch. I have subscribed and will continue to follow your videos so I can grow as a carpenter.
P.S. I love your editing man, the time travel transition was awesome! I used to do that on older videos I use to edit for a dentist. You have inspired me to get creative with transitions again. Love, Peace and Taco Grease!
Good advice, nice video thanks
I’ve really enjoyed watching you grow as a content creator, Your videos are really looking great, excellent work, thanks for the tips and info!
I appreciate that!
Skil has a heavy duty contractor table saw with wormdrive. Very reliable and darn accurate. I have had no problems with it.
Yeah, I was drooling over that at lowes just last week.
I didnt have the cash for it, and I got the Craftsman table saw.
Its actually a pretty damned good little table saw.
I'm a DeWalt guy, and I am comparing the Craftsman to a DeWalt table saw.
Hey Matt, I know you also mentioned about getting a Band Saw, I was going back and forth about one and my actual usage of it. I would up going a Sears outlet store that was closing their doors and and got a Rikon 14" band saw that was a floor display(with everything)unit, still new for $400 and some change. Excellent piece of equipment (especially after I put my Alex Snodgrass adjustments). Shop around for some good deals.
If I invite your dad to my birthday party, will he buy me a planner?
Very informative video!
I started w/ a compound miter saw. I wanted to replace the base boards, door and window trim in my house, and that's the fastest way to cut it.
Next came a Rigid table saw because what's a garage without a table saw. My mom got it for me after I helped her make a major move
I started into wood turning and added a band saw, drill press, lathe, sanding station (disk sander & belt sander in one) and finally a small jointer and a planer.
Now that I 'know' what I'm doing, I get to replace them all! (except for the band saw & drill press - I bought nice ones)
I have the Delta Cruzer and it is a great saw. It is heavy if you are taking it to a jobsite, but I would imaging that if you are going for a saw with zero clearance behind the saw you are using it as a stationary unit in a shop. It also has the lights that cast a shadow line rather than the laser, which is very nice as well. It was a big upgrade from the Chicago Electric.
If space isn’t an issue that delta table saw is the best to get but if space is an issue the one I would recommend are actually called jobsite table saws basically bigger contractor saws that come with a stand with wheels and also have larger cut capacity and are more powerful ,the dewault is a good one they basically invited the jobsite table saw and are one of the best, skill saw makes the most powerful and the most serviceable cause they but there worm drive motor on it and the metabo HPt basically very similar to the dewault but has the largest rip capacity at 35” and has a small feed extender on the back to help with ripping cuts and the biggest plus for the metabo it regular goes on sell it’s normally around $570 but last year around Christmas I got it for $329
The delta really doesn't take up anymore room than the bigger jobsite saws on stands. The benefits outweigh the disadvantages. Its heavy cast iron top reduces vibration, its 27 inch deep table leaves you more room in front of the blade, the fence is super accurate, rock splid,and easily adjusted. I know some of the mobile jobsite saws can take a full dado stack,but most dont. They almost all have aluminum tops which are prone to warping and denting,and all of the mobile jobsite saws use the loud universal motors,except the skilsaw. A table saw is a big purchase and 5 or 6 inches difference in width and the price of the delta being around $600,I'd pic the delta or one similar and reap the benefits they offer rather than struggle with a jobsite saws short comings. You can build alot with a small jobsite saw,but in a few years you'll outgrow it and wish you had more.
@@ciphercode2298 that’s why I said if you have the space get the delta cause not everyone has shop space , some people do it in the same garage they park in and the delta would take up to much room and I personally have a little shed and setup in my drive way and in the amount of space that delta takes up I have the metabo jobsite saw folded up two folding work benches and a packout tower full of tools and a battery powered lawnmower
Matt, I am starting to get into woodworking. I have a used Shopsmith, a lathe-based 5-in-1 tool, drill press, horizontal boring, table saw, wood lathe, and disc sander. You can add numerous accessories-band saw, scroll saw, planer, belt sander, drum sander. You can sharpen tools with the 12" disc sander, and so much more. You can change from one tool to another in just 1 to 5 minutes depending on the tool and how much you practice changes. This company started in late 1940's and is STILL IN BUSINESS in Dayton, Ohio today. ALL parts are still available brand new! Great, high quality tool.
Check it out!😊
I have one too! Shopsmith is an awesome 4 in one tool; lousy 5 in one tool. You need a good table saw
@@bugman-ir8cw My tubes which hold the table saw do not lock tightly and properly, thus letting the table hit the saw blade as it vibrates! Then I have to quickly shut it down! It drives me crazy! It's going to be an expensive repair. But the band saw and everything else is great! But when it doesn't vibrate, and it cuts properly, it does cut very nicely.
@Brian Reber stick with what works and abandon the rest. Find an "emmerson" contractor saw. If you have the space it will be much better.
@@bugman-ir8cw I actually have another table saw, a Craftsman. My garage has no room for anything else! Lol!
One of the big differences in the higher end tools is just pure power, not just larger size. Quality of cuts and milling decreases if you push a tool beyond it's capacities, which isn't hard if you're talking about 15-18A 120V tools. Smaller platforms and motor sizes substantially decrease what you can do effectively, but can still be perfectly suitable for a lot of people.
Awesome channel!
That shirt is awesome 🙏🏽🙌🏽💪🏽
Buy used when possible. I paid a 1300 for a Jet 3hp Xacta table saw and Jet 14 inch bandsaw with a riser block. I bought a 20 inch 1hp drill press for $200. I would have ended up much lower quality buying new
@@1pcfred yes, you do need to have the ability to fix some issues the seller might have had
I am about ready for a table saw.
Awesome 👏
Excellent video! Well made, direct, and to the point! Keep up the good work. I'll be checking out some of your other videos as well. Cheers from Tomcat Airguns & Tomcat Woodworking.
Great info, thank you
Whichever order works when you can find the best deal on Craigslist marketplace and so on. Just got a new to me $600 dust collector looks like brand new for $100 time to buy and runs like new.
Good video Matt. Don't forget for those on a budget to hit the used market. I bought a Ridgid TS 3650 for $350 about 10 year ago and it's still going strong.
They hold there value. Tuned properly I can get glue line rips with a standard ripping blade. The edge literally looks like someone took a plane to it. It’s a great saw to this day for what you pay for them.
Job site Saw stop is beautiful machine
Great video. I have the same drill press and would like to ask where you got the table from? I also was going for the DW 735 but got the WEN helical planer instead.
Was wondering this as well. After some searching, it looks looks like a WEN DPA2412T 24 in. x 12 in. Drill Press Table with Adjustable Fence
Looking for some help deciding on a saw I’m looking at the new t2 delta or the dewalt 7491rs??
I actually saw a Ridgid 6" Jointer on FB marketplace for $300 in my area as well as a Ridgid contractor 10" table saw for $350. It was one with the motor hanging off the back. I actually use a 113 Craftsman ts from the '70's that I bought for $75 and have since put a Biesemeyer fence on it. I have it on a mobile base and have a dust collector hooked up to it. The only thing it doesn't have is a riving knife. But I can't justify trying to sell it to buy another one just for that feature.
The new Delta table saw is up to 15 amps from the 13 that is on yours.
First...Love the shirt! Best show streaming. Can't get enough of it. Thanks for the video. Can you give me some advice regarding the worthiness of purchasing the Delta vs the 10" Dewalt Table saw?
thanks. The Delta (now made by Ridgid) has one of the best fences on the market for the price. It has plenty of power for any hardwoods and just works well. The Delta 36-725T2 is the same as this www.ridgid.com/us/en/10-inch-contractor-table-saw-with-cast-iron-top-r4560 So either one is what I recommend for this price range.
The delta tablesaw isn’t bad but it’s one major flaw is that the rail comes in two pieces. I haven’t been able to get it straight. It seems like a inevitability to upgrade and buy their $200 replacement which is all one piece
I have the Dewalt 7485 right now but the one thing I hate .... hate ... is the blade is too close to the front of the saw! It doesn't have the room to line up with the fence. I have had it for a few years and it's time to upgrade. I am in a two car garage and the larger saws like the Harvey and others is just too big.
Do you have the newest model of the Delta table saw? Are you happy with the features? I am binge watching all the videos you have and find them to be great and they caver the stuff no one talks about!
Keep up the great work!
Great video!
Thank you for the information, I am looking at the Delta 36-725t2 with the 15amp motor. Currently using my craftsman table saw built in 1978, good little work horse. Maintained it well, parts are difficult to come by. Created a saw dust chute to minimize dust. As you stated a crosscut sled is a must. This has come in very handy. Again, Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills. Ernest🪚
I have my Grandad’s mid ‘60s craftsman. Upgraded it a bit but underpowered and lacks accuracy. Same as you I’m in need of a new one. Appreciate the video here
Great video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. :))…..
