How is it that a RUclips channel from the other side of the world has become my number one must-see tv each week? I’m so grateful you do what you do and take us all along for the ride.
Same here!
Love Scott's channel, and Leo at Sampson Boat Co. is the only channel I enjoy more.
Me too, just luv it. Nice work, no bla, bla, always something to learn.
Scott’s video dropping on Friday starts my weekend !!!
Thank the internet gods: Bob Kahn, Vint Cerf and Tim Berners-Lee
Make sure to add a cyclone filter to your dust collection, makes your bags last so much longer and the air much cleaner because a significant portion just drops in the easily swappable cyclone bucket. If you empty it regularly you can even reuse the sawdust from clean woods for gardening
Agreed. I've a cyclone for my table saw. Also push sticks or gripper tool.
A cross cut sled would be a good first project. lloyd
Saw envy!😜😍😍🏴
As a cabinet & furniture maker that used to using tools ranging from a track saw to a multi-axis CNC, I can attest that building things solely with a track saw is not a limitation. In fact, it's an impressive tool that, while other options may exist, serves its purpose effectively.
It's fantastic that you acquired a table saw (and a free one at that, which is a bonus! :D). You'll undoubtedly discover numerous applications for it. I'm eagerly anticipating your upcoming videos. Keep up the great work.
Allow me to offer a few quick safety tips for using the table saw. Truly avoid cutting anything wider than it is long to prevent kickback. Additionally, consider investing in an over-arm table saw guard, it not only keeps dust at bay but also ensures your fingers stay clear of the blade during non-through cuts. Lastly, always take a quick pause and evaluate before making a cut. If uncertain or uneasy, take a moment to find a safer approach. This advice stems from my personal experience. I've come close to serious injuries, assuming I could bypass safety measures due to my years of experience. Thankfully, any mishaps resulted in just minor injuries like scars and broken fingers.
With my pension and space in London, a good tracksaw with plenty of accessories and Ron Paulk table is the way. Top level very heavy cabinet saw in a big workshop 50+ years ago was relevant back then.
i love how Scott was giving off the vibe of a kid opening his present on Christmas day. RUSHED AND MESSY.
i'm jealous. lol
Haha that thought came to me as well, especially when he rushed it and it fell over!!
As a Joiner, we were spoiled having proper professional machinery. It makes the job so much easier.
On a friday afternoon the machines were out of action as they were cleaned, sharpened and oiled.
Using a proper planer\thicknesser is brilliant, these cast iron tables were brutal when you had to lift them!
Enjoy the cast iron stuff Scott...it is like night and day!
The panels will look totally different with interior lighting...maybe not a good idea looking at the finishes outside in sunlight??
I'd reccomend checking your table for alignment with the blade after that drop, a table or fence out of alignment can cause a kickback if you're not careful.
well said - especially as no crown guard being used. F2 is 3 bolts & simple easy to readjust back to parallel as the table 'floats' with the motor being mounted to the cabinet not slung under the table.
Congrats on the new member of the family! Despite almost universal attitudes to the contrary there is no shame in using a blade guard. It helps with dust collection too. And might help save a digit or two, too. But what do I know. Signed, Four-finger Frank
For fine work, I recommend a different blade and a zero clearance insert (buy it or make it). It really helps.
Make a few jigs like a crosscut panel etc for special cuts.
Cabinet saws are wonderful. Keep it balanced, level and protected from rust and it will last forever
Diablo D1090X are great
Zero clearance inserts are supplied as standard on the Fusion ;)
Hi Scott - love your videos. As someone who's done a lot of stained grade work for decade, a big factor people are not aware of is that sanding grit plays a huge role in stain colour appearance. Basically the lower the grit, the darker the colour. Wood species also affects stain colour as tannins play a role. For most stained work the best results is usually with a final grit no higher than 120. 100 grit if you want something dark. Also, it needs to be hand sanded at the end as orbital sanders especially leave swirlies in the grand as they don't sand with the grain. The older Makita finish sanders not oribital (like from the 90s) were better tried to mimic more hand sanding. Orbital sanders are OK for paint grade at higher grits, but a disaster for staining.
You can do also several thin coats by hand with a cotton cloth to build up a stain to a darker colour.
That said, stains should never be flooded and applied in excess as that leads to blotching. Wood absorbs only small amounts and you have to apply thinly. There is a point of saturation as well.
I would suggest experiments on scraps with different grits of sandpaper first, trying lower grits. 120 grit usually seems to have the best result, although I once did 150 for a lighter effect ans it worked. 100 is too dark for me, and 220 is pointless.
Also, oil based stains are always darker than water-based. Bear in mind the top coat as oil based Amber the wood and stain and can change a colour and make it darker.
Lastly, wait 72 hours between staining and top coating as the stain needs time to cure and dry completely or the top coat may fail to adhere properly or stay sticky.
As for the table saw or any saw, high tooth count blade give a cleaner cut as well as using industrial grade blade that are much stiffer. On his cabinet table saw, my father used an 80 tooth 10 inch blade for most things. Part of the reason the Makita track saw is so clean is the high tooth count for the size. On my circular saw I have a 60 tooth 6 1/2 inch blade, and for my mitre saw a 12 inch 100 tooth Freud Industrial blade. Super stiff and expensive but can be sharpened. However no blade deflection.
A last trick is for plywood and laminate to use painters tape on the cut. Prevents almost all splintering. I use that for furniture panels and ceiling panels that are stained.
Hope this is helpful... Good luck.
This is great, I’ll be coming back to this comment as I work on the panels. Thanks!
Really awesome, Scott! Great channels deserve great rewards. You give us free content, so why not! And way to go, Laguna! Big shout out to them. I'm not gonna lie, I am always surprised when small channels with like 15K subs get free stuff like this. You've worked long and hard for this day.
Thanks mate!
Dude that table saw looks sweet! Congratulations!
Highly recommend giving Osmo Polyx oil a go for the kitchen cabinets.
As a woodworker I am super jelly about the tablesaw! Would highly recommend a pleated filter for the dust collector. Great stuff Scott! Looking forward to what you do with it.
Can second this recommendation to try Osmo, or any other brand of 'hardwax oil' really. Both for the non-toxic properties and for the ease of application. You will however get varying degrees of yellowing due to the fact it's oil based (both initially, and more over time). Osmo has a version called 'raw' which has some white pigment mixed in to reduce the yellowing effect, but it doesn't have the same effect on all timber species. The only way I've found to truly eliminate the yellowing is a water based polyurethane, but it's much harder to apply in a DIY setting
Normal Friday resumed 🎉
* Saturday in New zealand :)
What a generous gesture from Laguna. I have been interested in their saws for some time, I’m so glad you have one to test out and provide us with some feedback.
Hey guy who definitely doesn't work at Laguna
@@kezzaman Because liking Laguna saws means you must work there?
@@kezzaman are laguna saws a market failure, otherwise there can be people looking to purchase. So why would you make such astatement.
Not really a generous gesture though, it's just marketing. They give away a $4k saw and get a couple times that worth of free advertising. If they did a single ad campaign on YT they'd be spending much more than that with less targeting.
@@mayur619 I have the same saw, bought it two years ago. I was lucky to get it because they couldn't keep up with orders. My local tool guy just happen to have one in stock. Three more people went in looking for one over the next week. He ordered 8 more, but was going to have to wait at least three months to get them. Two weeks later, all 8 were sold before they arrived. I don't call that a market failure ;-)
Congratulations mate, I have slowly filled my shed with cabinet saw, jointer etc. Your channel was instrumental in my journey from mechanic for 40 years to creating furniture and cabinets.
Congratulations on the new saw.😊 Please consider your first project being a proper outfeed table to make it safer and easier to use. I have been using a cabinet saw for almost 20 years... outfeed is essential.
agree - outfeed is crucial to prevent drop off accidents & just makes life safer. Pretty sure the F2 in the vid has one as standard, maybe just not fitted?
I’m not a carpenter but I enjoy watching your channel. After getting laid off from work, these videos are super helpful and has become a pleasant distraction. Thanks, Mr. Brown!
Please please please Scott, do not make cuts as seen at 11:45, where you put the shorter side of the material against the fence. It can easily get caught in the blade and the result is nasty. Love your videos. Cheers from Slovakia
Glad someone else pointed this out.
Scott suggest you do a tablesaw safety course.
YEs AGREE! Your next project will be to make a cross-cut sled.
This is overstated - he had ~400mm against the fence which would be fine for stability as long as you hold it well. I do this all the time with anything over ~300mm or so deep, and up to 750mm wide no problem. Just have to be careful, like with everything!
@@jonathanmarshall2940 i totally get your point, having 40cm is sufficient for some longer pieces. But here we had the lenght of round 250cm, which is way too sketchy. Of course you can somewhat controll it, bet everybody thought so, until they didnt. Mishaps happen all the time so we should be mindful of them.
There is nothing better than seeing a perfectionist like Scott get challeneged as his well laid out plan fails and he scratches his new table saw trying to rectify the issue
Big love brother :)
Hi Scott. Hope you can get a sliding table for your sawbench,it will make crosscutting kitchen panels much better and safer.
Ive literally just finished building a 1.8m wide dresser.
As a diyer, iam chuffed to bits with it.
It looks so professional!
Bought a cordless palm router to help me out and after a few new user mistakes, it worked out beautifully!!
Love getting new tools!!😊
So incredibly cool, Scott. Such an upgrade and such a deserving guy. Your channel is so amazing!
We made our kitchen cabinetry from 18mm Meranti. Don't forget the edge banding! We used Feast & Watson Japan Brown stain and Cabots oil based matt polyurethane (available at Bunnings). Came out fairly dark, but we quite like it!
Nice one, I’m actually having trouble finding a matching edge banding. Do you remember what you used?
I'm so glad you got this tool. You always aim to do top quality work, and this will help you take it up another notch.
Congrats man.
I double gasped when it tipped, and then when you tried to save it. Mostly in recognition of the "I should have gotten help moving this beast" flashing through your head in neon orange.
Three suggestions. First, doublecheck the blade/miter slot alignment after your drop if you haven't already. Two, make your rolling workbench the same height as the table saw or vice versa so you can use it as an outfeed table. Third, check out Jay Bates channel for his simple infeed supports: hinged boards that hook onto the fence rail that you can stand between while feeding large panels/boards through without them tipping.
Careful cutting sheet goods wider than long while using the fence. they can get twisted and kick back. Make a panel sled or a cross cut sled. Love the channel and don’t want to see an injury
Yeah @11:51 the risk of a kickback is pretty high with that cut. So stay out of the firing line (behind the blade) if you can and try not to make this cut in the video. For those of you who aren't aware, the drag can pull the board into the spinning blade (on the cut side) which will launch the board back at incredible speed. But what's more dangerous is that the hand can get pulled into the blade. Riving knife helps but should be avoided if possible.
Yeah..once bitten twice shy..5 years ago i found out the fun way that cutting long pieces with short edge on the fence means twist and wood suddenly flying around at head height...made a cross cut sled the next day and havent looked back. Dont use the fence for long pieces of wood that are wide but short ( front to back).
Really recommend Bostik Glidecote to keep the top protected. Also had my table saw drop while packing, so it happens. Oh and Carbetec are an excellent crew.
Great to see the new Saw!! Glad there was no damage done. I can’t wait to see the cabinets appear!😎🎉well deserved and well done SBC.👍
The happiest carpenter online is human!!! He had to *bleep* a word as he tried to lift the table saw up. Love your videos mate! And, G'day from Melbourne Australia.
Scott make ur wee work table with the wheels the same high as the table saw so they work together. 🙌🙌
Can’t believe u drop the saw 🫣🫣🫣
Sound now you'll have to spend the money you saved on soundproofing the shed before your neighbours complain. 🤣
Good on you mate, so happy there are sponsors that see your worth. 👏👏👏
Watching you unpack the saw gave me ptsd from unpacking my Harvey saw a couple years ago. The struggle is real 😂.
Congratulations Scott, and well deserved. As a carpenter and licensed builder here, I must say that I look forward to every Saturday morning watching someone else shares the same highs and lows of the building industry 👍
Lol "watch ya fingas!"
Love the Jess contribution to the channel. You two are a great combo!
Hey Scott, we're in Nelson and have done our kitchen in both Redline (wall lining) and maranti ply fronts. We were told by cabinet makers to use Osmo oil if you haven't already checked it out. Also there is 2 types of Maranti, the red is more common (darker) then there's a white. We did 3 coats on our fronts, with a sand in between. Also the grain orientation can make a big difference to colour depth and light reflection. Can send you a photo for a better understanding if you'd like.
I'm chuffed you got a free table saw! We get to see you learning & using it, and I know how damn expensive it is to be in the middle of renovating...money's flying out the door. We all want you & Jess to come out of this without too much debt!
😂 true! Very grateful to be gifted this saw at this stage in the project
Long time watcher first time commenter, you’ll love having a fixed table sax Scott, we are carpenter/joiners in South Australia and have just recently purchased the Sawstop with the inbuilt router table and love it. It’s a weapon and handles anything we can throw at it!
Hey Scott,
Huge fan. I am a shop carpenter in NYC, I really enjoy watching your videos. Your country is beautiful, and your B-roll is always breathtaking. Awesome saw by the way.
So, you turned it into a drop saw?
Badum tsh 😂
Best comment😂
Love the videos mate. When it comes to finishes for the cabinetry you probably want to get some sort of two pack clear coat. Oil based tend to yellow a lot over time and are often somewhat soft. Two packs tend to be much clearer and won't yellow over time. You can stain the timber before to get the colour you want too. Intergrain do a water based two pack for hard wood floors which would work well. You can just roll it on too and it leaves an awesome finish. I've used it on my floors and some woodworking projects and I rate it.
You re going to have lots of fun with that new toy Scott! As we watched you struggle getting it off the skid I think all of us carpenters can admit to having done something similar either trying to save time or just wanting to do it on our own 😂 . Be safe and looking forward to the projects ahead of you!
Nice tablesaw Scott, watch the tablesaw table because of moisture making it rust.please don’t make cuts of sheet stock up against the fence. I break my sheets down slightly bigger than final dimensions and then run it along the fence to final dimensions. Thanks for the latest exciting episode.👍👍
I'm pretty sure you should always use the fence when possible to avoid accidentally shifting the stock and pinching the blade potentially resulting in kickback.
I believe Terry means make the first cut against the fence slightly oversized, then return for another cut with the fresh edge against the fence, leaving you with 2 Parallel fresh cuts
That's NOT what he meant. Yours is a good idea, but that's not what the other guy meant. He meant free-handing the sheet.
@@timandkatecreate if that's what he ment it's fine but the words "don't make cuts against the fence" threw me off.
If he meant freehand, yea, don’t do that, that’s when you use a track saw.
Slice up a couple more planks and add to your "100th" episode sign to make a "400th" sign. Unbelievable how time has flown by but not surprised by the growth of your channel!
Never heard of Laguna until now, Definitely smart decision them working with Scotty
Thanks for sharing. That's what happens when you're authentic and love what you do. Keep it up!
Scott, get a drum filter for chip extractor, it is really, really important upgrade which can save your health. These bags throw a lot of dust around, super fine one.
Yeah I was going to add this caution - the bags are good for collecting the bigger particles, but the finer ones make it though, and due to the airflow forcing them around you end up with MORE fine particulates in the air than you would have without dust collection. Especially important when cutting materials with glues such as MDF.
Congratulations on the new saw!!! I absolutely love my Laguna 16hd bandsaw and it’s as awesome today as it was 20 years ago when I bought it.
Here’s wishing you all the best with your new saw! A great tool is a beautiful thing!
Make sure you check your stains IN the room where the furniture/cabinets are going to live. Outside light is different than inside light.
first time i hear that word on this channel and it was glorious, hope the saw didnt suffer any ills. Now for the rest of the episode.
I am genuinely happy for you Scott, always inspiring watching your videos. Cheers from canada
And I’m glad you didn’t break your back doing all that lifting and pulling. Great episode!
You are so honest to show that debacle. The truth is that we learn so much more from our mistakes than successes. When you hire someone with experience, you hire the avoidance of all the mistakes they've made. The more experience, the more mistakes.
You have some very nice toys. Scott 😃🤩 As for reading the manual ... I worked in IT for many years and, for 40 odd years, "When everything else fails, read the ... manual" was one of the most important thing people could learn.
The house is looking good. Always get help when you got something heavy, lesson relearned. :) Thank you and have a good week.
That meranti is going to look awesome in your kitchen, with a yellower stain it really suits the 60s vibe of the house, and with a darker base cabinet colour it will really pop!
I just got my own f2 and i couldn't be happier its definatly the best price for its features.
Get one of those micro filter barrels to replace the bag on your dust collector, it will make a big difference! Also, watch some YT vids on using a big table saw, that massive cross cutting you did is such a big no-no, you can easily have that cut bind on the blade and then you're in a bad place. You really need a cross-cut sled for that type of cut.
I've watched ALL your videos and am a fan of Scott Brown Carpentry. In the RUclips universe your channel is one of the best. Great for just watching for entertainment. Good for learning new things, and a real inducement for visiting or emigrating to New Zealand! Keep putting in the scenery, maybe add dialogue that tells where it is in relation to you or the other island. Again, am always looking forward to hearing your intro: Scott Brown Carpentry!
Loved the video Scott. I am very fortunate enough to own the Laguna 18BX Bandsaw and it is an incredible machine 😀
Ooo, table saw! I'm a bit jealous of that, good for you! Often in theatre scenery shops where I have worked, we have a run-off table behind the table saw. Finished height is level with the table saw. You can just make it a plywood top on the run off table, if you need the work space. What's nicest, is put a hardboard top on it, then coat in a smooth wax. We used bowling alley wax. It's really smooth. makes a big difference when you're ripping really long or really thin stuff, it stays supported all the way through the cut. So say, for that 4 mm ply, when you're ripping the length, it stops it flexing out the back.
just want to leave an extra mention for how much we love ray! such a lovley guy!!
Nice of Laguna ! thats a company one wanna support ❤
I have the same saw and I love it. Yes, the safety of the Sawstop is excellent, but it is not just expensive to buy, it costs you a new blade and a new cartridge if it activates and neither of those are cheap.
Not always. Cartridge, Yes. Blade, Not always. I have seen blades come out totally fine after inspection for damaged carbides, and checking for distortion. besides where is the logic in that statement? 75-175 buck vs 1000s for an ER visit and countless loss of hrs working. and that is just the minimal costs. if its a business shop , you will have OSHA and L&I so far up your wazoo.. and likely face a lawsuit from the one whom lost his or her digits. there is no logic. I love laguna as a brand, and I have a cast iron 3 phase delta, But I only use my saw-stop. No more searching for employees missing fingers for me!
@@theyard6958 If you can afford it that's good. I just have to pay more attention to what I'm doing instead.
Conrats Scott on your new table saw and belated Happy Birthday. Glad you were not hurt in unpacking your saw, with my limited experience in unpacking new kit it is worthwhile planning how to uncrate and move from pallet to floor, I suppose we are lucky as we have a forklift @ work which comes in handy for things like this. I see you have lots of advice in comms from other subs and have lots more experience than I do or are proffesional cabinet makers but from my from my limited experience for what it is worth here it is:
1. Not sure if your saw has a second arbour in front of main blade for a scoring blade but if not try lowering the blade to do an intial score on underside which should sever fibres on face then raise to to do main cut, than should reduce any tear out.
2.Try masking tape on underside.
3. Maybe a blade 60 -80 tpi with alternating bevel.
4.If ripping sheets an outfeed table attached to back of saw would be helpful it you have no one to tail out.
5.Consider building a sliding carriage for the saw which can support sheets when crosscutting, then wont have to use rip fence. Will be more accurate.
6. Dust shroud over blade helps reduce dust and keeps fingers clear of blade.
Looking forward to seeing saw in operation.
YAY JESS is doing NO DIG. Fantastic method. !!
I'm sooooooo jealous of your workshop!!!!! thanks for all the content mate
Dust collector had, or has a leak. it should be inflated tight like a balloon. Sweet new saw Scott.
laguna is a great quality brand.
As a long time seasoned carpenter cabinet builder ship builder I can say with full certainty that There is no replacement for fingers. I have not had to pick up any digits since we replaced the delta with a Saw-Stop. The shop being down for a day or two from L&I, lawsuits, loss of work and more, each cost more than the Saw-Stop. Trust me!!!
However this Laguna will give you such a great product, and reduce shop time. You are going to love it! Congrats M8!👍
Happy birthday! Also love the new end screen XD
You've opened up a can of worms that im really excited to see unfold! Stoked youve got this table saw, and the dust collector to match, looking forward to seeing the new avenues it can take you down.
Happy birthday Scott. I have drooled over that exact saw and extractor combo a few times but I'm just a poor hobbist
This reminds me of the time I had a new industrial bandsaw delivered to my work’s office. First, the pallet would not fit through the door so I had to modify the pallet to fit. Then my coworker and I moved the pallet to the outer room; however, we had problems getting the bandsaw off of it. Finally, my coworker and I enlisted three graduate students to help us move the bandsaw to the tool room. This took several days of planning.
Can't believe you showed the part where the saw fell. I could just feel that pain.......
What a nice gift.
Yay! Scott is back. I was starting to get withdrawal symptoms and started worrying Scott had fallen through a ceiling or something had fallen on him.
Table saw. MMmmm. I bought a Jet hybrid years ago, the one that has legs you bolt on. I was almost clever, I put the table top in my drive face down, bolted on the legs then tried to turn to right side up - by myself. It over balanced and threw me up my steep driveway as it rolled over - luckily I have a grass strip between the wheel treads, so I had something soft to land on, and I'm not small.
I wish Bosch could bring back their safety saw, better than SawStop IMHO, when it 'fires' it does not destroy the saw blade or the cartridge, you get 7-8 'saves' from each cartridge, then you can send it back to Bosch and swap it for another new or reconditioned cartridge. You'd think Bosch and Festool (who bought SawStop) could get their corporate heads together, specially now that SawStop's patents have largely expired.
Meranti. Be aware that Meranti (Pacific Maple is another marketing name for it) is stringy (hard to get nice edges), relatively soft and dents easily, so look for a wood hardener or some similar sort of coating for kitchen cupboards or other high use/traffic areas. It also needs some sort of filler to get a smooth surface when painted, probably just lots and lots of coats of clear finish with careful sanding and wet cleaning between coats. Remember, Balsa is a tropical 'hardwood' too.
Saw that coming and screamed 🤪 . Been there done that, sweating and holding a 200kg planer in a very akward position. Very nice table saw especially with the extended profiles for large sheets👍
I've said it before, and I stand by it. Sky deck on top of the garage!!
In my opinion Laguna makes one of the best table saws out there. Lucky boy!
Congratulations on the new table saw and thanks to Laguna for supplying it. I'm sure you'll get many years of use from it (unless you take to dumping it on the floor regularly LOL!)
You won't be disappointed with your Laguna. I bought the F3 from the UK dealer & paid for it to be shipped to Singapore. Best add ons for Jessem Table Saw guides & a set of Microjig Grippers & just as safe as a Sawstop at a fraction of the cost.
I have a Laguna Fusion 2 and absolutely love it. Mine works wonderfully, but thwen again, I didn’t drop mine on the floor (sorry I couldn’t resist). The only thing my saw didn’t come with is a skillset like yours. Enjoy your new tool/toy!
Good understanding of the price and safety issues. In the US the tables are closer in price which makes the choice easy. The other thing is the SawStop is an awesome saw not just safety. Glad you got it though as I can not wait to see those cabinets.
I bought the Harvey 36 Alpha table saw for similar money as the Laguna. It’s a beast. Enjoy yours. It’s a game changer in the shop.
You're going to love the Laguna. I've had an F1 for a couple years now and it is great. Invest in a good pair of crosscut and rip blades and a plywood blade if you haven't already.
Man, really happy for you! Enjoy that new table saw
Scott, a great result for your channel. First get yourself a digital angle finder, and I know Ray never wants to leave but modify your mobile bench into an out feed table. Looking forward to future videos
Scott I would check the alignment of the table vs the blade mechanism. The saw top hit the cement and it may have become misaligned.
My favorites have migrated from framing, to finish carpentry, then to woodworking with stationary equipment - Norm, Richard at finish carpentry tv and now Scott.
hi Scott where I used to work we had a table saw very similar to the one you have got it was brilliant and we always used to do a lot of stuff for home on it. I missed that so much when I retired and to be honest unless you ar paying that sort of money the other little table saws really dont cut it, also we could cut up the large sheets 8 ft x 4 ft chipboard and the saw wouldn't tip over !!! the only thing I seemed to remember was the saw had to be checked for square by doing four sequential cuts and measuring across the diagonal (long time ago) and often we would do two cuts one way and two the other to halve any discrepancy it was one of the best bits of kit and the only thing I had space for or could afford now as it allows you to do so much. I'm sure you will find it ideal for your kitchen cabinets
You really need to raise the height of the workshop.
We can't have Ray walking around all bent like a banana now, can we?
Kia ora Scott and team. We have recently used the same ply here on Waiheke, and there's a big variety of shades and grain patterns from sheet to sheet.
That view is amazing, definitely should fit a periscope in the living room to see it😄
I bought the Laguna F1 last year as my first table saw. I was in the same situation as I’d just bought a house and wanted to build my own cabinets, shelving, etc. I don’t have another saw to compare it to but I don’t have any complaints. I would recommend once you install the blade you plan to use long term stick with the same brand and kerf thickness and take the time to really dial in the fence scale, check that the blade is parallel to the fence and check that the bevel gauge is reading correctly. The only issue I had with my saw is the blade would only adjust to 89.8 degrees and the manual had nothing on how to fix it. Luckily I figured it out on my own. Good luck with your new toy and I can’t wait to see what you build with it.
Also, I’d recommend a crosscut sled as one of your first projects. There are already a ton of videos on RUclips about them but I’d definitely add another one to the probably dozen I’ve already watched. 😊
Big fan of your videos Scott, and I completely understand the price differential of a SawStop versus other high value brands. However, as someone who has had bad kickback with tablesaws and have seen several tablesaw accidents involving missing digits. I think an extra $4000 for peace of mind when operating such a dangerous machine is well worth it! I am not saying it is a nescessity, but if you are ever able to upgrade from the Laguna in the future, I think you would really find comfort in using the SawStop. Also I've heard great things from Laguna, so awesome table saw none the less.
100% agree. I have used, and liked them all, and picked up many digits too, Saw-Stop is the safest saw especially in a shop environment. however... Altendorf has released their own safe saw that uses a different mechanism to drop the blade and you dont even need to conduct electricity. its done with cameras. that said Its likely going to be a 40k table saw. so its still saw stop for me and my shop!
Number 1 addition is an outfeed table for the saw. Really makes life easier.
Congratulations! Your hard work has continued to pay off. I'm glad that the long delay between episodes was for this reason. We were getting concerned something had happened to Jess ;-) In regard to the comments about your unpacking and table saw use, I must confess they both made me cringe. However, you're an experienced carpenter, so I will simply suggest you read The Table Saw Book by Kelly Mehler. It is one of the best sources I've read on how to properly tune and safely use a North American style table saw such as the one you now own.
your shop is really coming together, Congratz
WOW, that snow was beautiful!! Loved seeing those covered mountains.
Love your videos Scott! I have the exact same Laguna table saw and Carbatec dust collector setup over here in Australia!
I will say that a couple of the best additions I made were taking the NVR switch out of the dust collector and replacing the switch (part numbers from Carbatec SWT-PLATE (switch cover) and SWT-J9301A (on/off toggle switch)) - Dave Stanton has a RUclips video on this easy changeover! The reason I did this is now I have the Metabo stop/start cordless controller that the dust collector plugs into. It means that for small/quick cuts on the table saw you can mount the remote on the table saw, can push the remote to turn on the dust collector, make the cut and turn the dust collector off. Very convenient!
I’ll also recommend making a small removable caddy that is mounted to the fence of the table saw that can house some of your most used tools (tape measures, safety glasses, marking tools, squares and the Metabo remote). Again there’s a video on this process from Shop Nation which is amazing!
Lastly, a zero clearance throat plate will help reduce tear out on your workpieces. You can buy these from Carbatec as blanks, then raise the blade through the plate to create a zero clearance, however I bought some on Etsy from a guy in the US, so I could have some different timber varieties for different types of blades on the saw. I have walnut for my regular crosscuts and then purple heart as the throat plate for my dado stack.
Congrats on the new addition! Can’t wait to see how the cabinets come out!

Shout-out to Laguna for making our Kiwi bloke a happy little builder 👏🏾❤👏🏾
-and his adopted mate, funny fella😅
Happy birthday Scott! Nice gift. Glad it survived the slip. 😬
Very nice table saw, and greetings to your Dutch colleague/friend from a fellow countryman
Scott, get yourself a bottle of max wax (nz made light liquid wax) to maintain that fresh iron surface. Clean with solvent to remove oils from timber after use, then max wax, then lay a sheet and some ply over it to prevent condensation. Trust me. :-)
