- Table saw Sled for Evolution Rage 5-S
In this video I'm finally making my table saw sled for the Evolution Rage 5-S I got in my workshop. The sled is multi function, it has several T-tracks to allow freedom in clamping and potential jig making. It also comes with a zero clearance plate that you can easily change for a new one if it gets damaged or if you want to use a blade that is wider or thinner.

are all sizes - including the plastic runners in there?
@@philparrish8892 not the plastic runners, with those you just need to sneak up on the fit. As me and one of my friends noticed that saw to saw the dimensions vary slightly.
@@CasualDIY Thanks, Tomas. I appreciate your help. I have downloaded the cut list as I liked your sled and I am now waiting on my new Evolution RAGE5-S 255mm Table Saw .
Love this sled, I need to make one myself now that I have my RAGE5-S too.
Hehe go for it mate it's well worth making 👍
Great looking sled! Fantastic work!
Thank you kindly
Love this.👏👏👏
thank you for watching
That's the next thing I need in my shop. A table saw and sled.
Well worth making mate👍
Very good. Thanks.
Thank you for watching 👍
Just brill
Thanks👍
I need to make one for mine too. Love this, really nice ideas. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much, thanks for watching 👍😁
Nice looking sled 👌
Thank you 👍😁
This is definitely the sled for me , it looks safe to use which my wife is terrified of me using the Rage 5 table saw on its own, although there will be a few occasions when I will. I have had the table saw now for 11 months and still not used it , only to check it out , this is because of a severe RTA in which I broke my spinal collumn, three ribs and bleeding in my head, but hey I'm ready for the fray !
Thank you Thomas, I do look forward to this project.
Bloody hell that's sounds terrible. I'm hoping you will recover fine, wish you health. The sled is very safe to use and that's why I like it. The clamps and now my latest video with the stop blocks makes it a very useful and safe to use jig.
Excellent thank you. So timely as I’m just about to head out to purchase this very table. I too need it for small cuts as I don’t have the room for a band saw for example so it will get all kinds of use. 👍
Cool, it's worth making 👍😁
Very nice sledge!! I especially like the top t-track, even though it is to short 😂, to clamp 🗜 stop blocks! That’s what I always need!! 👍
Hehe thanks 👍😁
Super, wymienna wkładka to fenomenalny pomysł :)
Dziękuję serdecznie choć to nie mój autorki pomysł 😂
Yet another brilliant project! I really like the way you have thought this out. Great job my friend!
Thank you kindly 😁👍
Fancy looking sled. Looks like your gonna have lots of options on it. 👍
Thanks, yes I wanted something universal that I will be able to use for different projects and needs👍
I was considering the Rage5-S (here in the US it is only available direct from Evolution) because of the sliding panel but your amazing sled has me thinking I almost any decent saw will do. Another winner!
Hehe yes a good sled will help for sure👍
Nice one
Thanks mate👍😁
Many thanks Thomas I look forward to your next youtube post
David
Thank for watching
Great build Thomas. A few months ago I made a crosscut sled too. It also has a zero clearance insert plate that is removable, that is very handy. Well done my friend.
Thank you. Yes it's a clever solution that Stumpy Woodworks presented in his video as well. His sled was far more advance than mine tho. Check him out the sled he's made is a masterpiece 👍
Need one like that in my workshop. Brilliant video well explained. Subbed
Thank you kindly and welcome aboard 👍😁
😎 Looks great!
Thank you very much 😉
Nice job and very secure. There is no stop or stopper so as not to cut further than the protection or it is a stopper on the plate
So I've had this model for a few days and would be tempted to make this sled. It makes it possible to cut thin parts in complete safety.
Hello got same table saw as you, that's a great sled you made. Thank's a lot.
Thank you kindly 😁👍
@@CasualDIY Hi I've got the solution about the blade guard.
Great video mate !!
Thank you kindly Sir😁👍
Excellent video again
Thank you kindly
@@CasualDIY Have put in an order for Evolution rage 5s, an basic diy-er and have been working off a Lidl parkside table saw for about 5 years now, the fence is always out ,riving knife is badly bent..never get a straight cut ,always having to sand cut pieces to fit in...am looking forward to making a straight cut for once...
@@TheEcorristine I had that with the budget Einhell table saw 🤣
Great sled Thomas - just made one for my Evolution - great channel
Thank you kindly 👍😁
Hope it will serve you well
Love it my friend.. I’m in the process of getting me the saw and this will complement it beautifully. And the zero clearance insert is also on the cards too.
Lovely job Sir..👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Happy DIYing 👍😁 and thank you for watching
love your video's you always have great ideas, you should be on TV mate
Lol thank you kindly, and apparently I am on TV, RokuTv lol
If you want full safety…back the blade covering block with a strip of 6mm steel. The Rage 5 DOES CUT STEEL, but it takes a while and you’ll not accidentally cut through the block.
Very Nice, neat, safe,clever, just what i would expect from Tomaz :)
Hehe thank you very much 👍😁
Good job Tomas. I've actually seen several other videos about making a sled and they have advised that a small 45 degree chamfer is cut into the squared feed board to ensure sawdust doesn't accumulate and hold the piece to be cut off square. Although, I guess if there's compressed air available, it would maintain cleanliness of the sled. Just a thought. Keep up the good work Tomas, I'm glad I'm a subscriber.
Yes that's correct. It's one of the improvements I need to make👍😁 thank you for being part of my community 😁
Brilliant video, such good ideas for the sled. Well done Thomas (I will be stealing a few of these ideas if not all)
Thank you kindly, go for it use it all😁👍
An ide. On the board where you hold your hands. Put some brackets or cut some holes for safer useing.
Yes that could be another option for improving safety👍
just subscribed to your channel, great videos, my rage 5 is coming this week so need to make one of these sleds. just need to get the wood and t-tracks from somewhere.
It's well worth making mate 😁👍 and welcome to my small community 😁
Great sled buddy! Looks a lot more usefull as mine! 😄
Thanks mate, can't wait to make all the jigs for it 👍😁
Many thanks for the excellent video on making the crosscut sled. I have made it fine apart from the t track as I am having problems sourcing a piece long enough to go along the fence. Can you please tell me who you use for yours.
Thanks 👍
I usually use banggood or aliexpress👍
When setting up for a square cut could raise the blade up to max avoiding the teeth use the square to set the jig squareness instead of the zero cut line ?
I thought of that but it's hard to avoid the teeth sometimes and I thought this would be easier this way
Great video, thank you for sharing. Can you tell me how long the arbor is? I'm thinking of getting this saw, but was wondering if it is long enough to take a 5mm grooving blade.
Evolution saws take only evolution blades unfortunately. You would need a reducing ring to put other blades but I would not recommend this as all Evolution saw have lower RPMS than normal about 3500 where normal blades are made for about 7000-9000
Bit vague on last comment, I've got a rage 5s on order but want the things ready when it arrives to make the sled. Just wondered what thickness the HDPE you used was.
Mine was 1cm thick originally but you need to take some thickness away as it would be too deep. I didn't give the dimensions of the runners as you need to "sneak up" on them to get perfect fit. Even though you will have the same saw the slots may be slightly wider or thinner or deeper etc.
i LOVE this guy! Bravo bravo man, you're making really nice videos!
Since I saw your evolution reviews I'm into buying the table saw. Great work!
But why you didn't do the 5 cut method?
Thank you kindly. I was happy with the results. But yes I think I'll show the 5 cut method next time to prove the accuracy 👍
Great looking sled mate! Looking forward to seeing the jigs that you've got coming up. Have you got a link to the t-track that you use please? I need to order a load for some workshop improvements of my own, but not sure what stuff to get?
Thanks mate, I wanted to make this sled ages ago but just didn't had the time. I bought the t-tracks from Banggood make is Drillpro. Good cheap tracks 👍😁
Ps and for that you get my sub ✅
Thank you kindly and welcome aboard 👍😁
Hi, I found it so great how you mounted the miter saw (4:15), would be nice to have more information about it and how you designed and stored the axle.

There is a whole video on my channel how I build that bench 👍
@@CasualDIY Thanks yes I found it.....
I just purchased a RAGE5-S about a week ago and adapted a couple of sleds I used on my past table saws, love your sled, I'll be making one, have you got a zero clearance plate on the Table saw?
Not yet, just on the sled. But I'm planning to make one soon👍😁
Nice! Do you have any problem with the rip fence on your 5-S?
No mate, no issues so far anyway
I know this is an older video, I just wondered if you experiance any play in the sled, for instance if you move it through the blade holding it in a different position? I noticed that no matter how accurate my runners are, the sliding part of the table which has a slot in it has enough play to cause differences in the sleds squareness depending on where you push it from.
Never experienced that mate. The only thing I change is the middle insert plate as I work with different blades and kerfs I just make a new one from time to time. Not sure what you mean by holding it in a different position, it goes one way, well two ways forward and back. If you got Rage 5s table saw then use the mitre slots that are on the fixed table and not the sliding part. If you make the runners fit snug and no play to them I can see how you can get any play in the sled.
Great build Tom. Where do u buy your T-track from?
Thanks mate, got it from Banggood, takes about 3 weeks to get to UK but they are cheap
Thank you so much for your guide! Quick but important question for you.
In the UK, the Evolution Rage 5-S is no longer easily obtainable in high street shops (Screwfix) and it has been 'replaced' by the Evolution R255PTS. The main change is the left extension table no longer comes with the saw and it is about 20cm shorter as a result at its max extension. given the fact that your sled rests on the left table, would you still "recommend" the R255PTS as a good table saw? It's sort of an important question for me as I would be really keen to construct your sled and I'm wondering if it would be a mistake to buy the R255PTS.
Hmm to what I was told by my viewers the new version is not that much different from the old one. But I have not seen or worked on one myself so can't really recommend, sorry.
ive just purchased a rage 5 s from screwfix, £250 on clearance. maybe go and look there. ive looked all over the internet, and stocks were so low. but luckily i found one on clearance. hope that helps.
What is your view about runner depth. Should I make them deep enough that the rest of the sled is lifted slightly above the table or should they be thin so the whole sled base slides on the table?
I think it's best if they are slightly thinner so the whole sled rests on the table. Why? Over time if the sled is above the table it will eventually sag down and create a slight bow and inaccuracies. And I feel it would be lest stable and rigid. Hope this helps
Hi Thomasz, thanks for sharing a great improvement for the Rage 5-S. I've built this now, and a couple of notes for you and others wanting to give it a try. I found it really difficult to get the HDPE to the right size. I don't have a bandsaw so I actually made a rig for my jigsaw to make these cuts and they still weren't perfect. I then used sandpaper but again it was time consuming and difficult. I've seen now that you can buy ready made runners for table saw rigs and in hindsight I would definitely recommend others just to buy them ready made. Second, the clamps that you use in the video are actually incompatible with the t-track size you recommend, so people shouldn't just buy them expecting them to fit. No big deal, I've managed to buy some adapters for them, but I wondered why you didn't use wider t-track to be more compatible with ready made clamps? I have put a layer of finishing oil on the bottom face of my sled and it's made it much easier to slide, reducing the need for force and making it feel much safer. Thanks!
Yes it all depends on what tools you already got. But I had no major issues with cutting the plastic to the right size. With regards the clamps they are the cheapest I have found. And you can just use some long bolts with them. That's what I do now. Comes out so much cheaper. Depending on the t track you may just need to sand off a bit of the bolts head. Saved me a fortune that did 😁👍
All the best and thank you for watching and your comment. Stay safe.
I think you could use clamps designed to hold the track (for plunge saws) something like: WEN 36053C 6" Quick Release Track Saw Clamps (2 Pack), Black (amazon link), just put the lever mechanism in the other direction. HDPE can be run on thicknesser, but check your manual as there are minimal thicknesses described. I will check the depth of my EVO tracks today.
Hi Tomasz, could you possibly let us know the measurements if you wouldn’t mind? So, those like myself got one of these Table Saw (Rage 5-S), can give a go. As usual, thank you immensely…
Hi,
Here is a link to my cut list, hope it helps

If you need any more help just drop me an email casualdiyuk@gmail.com 👍
You should make and sell these, I'm sure there is a market
True but pick up only as the weight plus dimensions would make it very expensive to send. And because of that the potential customer base becomes very small.
Great sled. I have the same saw and wanted to buy a sled but the non-standard tracks are a problem. Do you have any plans available or do you offer the sled for sale by any chance?
Hi, unfortunately no plans at the moment but I had few requests now so I'll try to make something over the weekend. If you could send me an email then as soon as I got something ready I'll send it to you👍 my address is casualdiyuk@gmail.com
Just about to make this great sled,Have you a link to the tracks you buy please ?
Hi,
Not any more, I buy them when I can find an offer. Usually on Banggood, EBay or Aliexpress.
Excellent sled Tomasz just what I have been looking for to go with my Rage 5S. How come your saw is so clean? What dust collection system do you use? Do you have a link to the plastic you used for the runners? Really like the t track options.
Hehe thanks. Made few videos on my dust extraction system, you can check them out👍I bought the hdpe plastic on EBay, there's quite a few sellers and more or less they got the same prices. Just search hdpe plastic sheet.
Casual DIY Thank you for the information, I’ll look into it.
@@ianvoden8915 no problem 👍
Hi Thomas
Great video what a sled this is Could you tell me what size is the T track you have used ? I am buildung the sled you have done as it will suit my Rage 5.
Many thanks Dave
Oh can't remember exactly but it was the smallest I could find. I shipped my whole workshop to Poland so can't even check for you now. Sorry
Another great project , I'm currently making one of these for my 5S, does the saw slot where the blade enters the front of the fence get 'nibbled' away over time ? would it be an idea to have a replaceable insert in the fence (similar to the zero clearance insert in the sled base), hope I'm explaining this clearly
Do you mean the safety block at the front of the sled? Mine did not as it's quite thick and I just know when to stop the sled so the blade will not go through the block. I hope that's what you are asking for.
@@CasualDIY No I mean where the blade cuts throuhg the fence (blade side) in front of the safety block, tbh I'm probably worrying over nothing
No issues mate👍
Nice sled but what size HDPE do you use? 👍
I had a 50cm by 50cm by 1cm sheet. So you need to cut it to size. I didn't give exact dimensions of the hdpe runners as you need to close up on them to get perfect fit.
Very nice jobTomasz, I've recently made my own Table Saw from an old circular saw that wasn't being used any more, so this may well be the next project 😉
That's so cool, I do recomend a sled then mate as it will improve your safety as well👍😁
Great video as always 👍
Have you got a link to the jigs you made for this sled that you mentioned? Thanks
I only have a cut list for the table saw sled, if you wan that just drop me an email - casualdiyuk@gmail.com
Hi, what material you use for runners please?
It's HDPE plastic that I use for making molds for resin casting. In simple terms you can get a super cheap plastic cutting board and just rip it to the right size👍
Hi, love your videos. The only bit i'm struggling with is the runners as I don't have a band saw and getting them accurate will be difficult. Just wondering if you have any suggestions. I'm using a half inch, or so HDPE chopping board as I can't source a specific product like you used. Post Brexit is a nightmare here in Ireland as Amazon is pretty much of no use due to import duties. Don't just get the choice over here. I was lucky to find a stockist of this saw. I really need to make a sled as the mitre guide on my Evolution 5-S (purchased last week) has extremly bad play. It's only useable when it's attached to the sliding bed and is only fully stable once the work piece is clamped. I'm new to woodworking so any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Shane.
Regardless of what material you will use ( I prefer plastic HDPE in my case as I had it from making molds for resin casting, plastic will not be affected like wood where it comes to moisture. But plywood would be a good idea as well) you need to cut it to the right size. I actually just done it on my table saw as I made some zero clearance plate which made it a lot easier and safer. I wouldn't try to make those runners if I didn't had the zero clearance plate as the original orange one has got a gap way to large.
I have had good luck using chopping board plastic for runners. Also, I had the same problem with mitre gauge play. I used painters tape on the mitre runner to widen it and it works fine. Just need to replace the tape from time to time.
How do you address dust extraction when the guard isn’t over the blade? Do you just blank off the duct?
Respirator to be honest but I'm thinking of upgrading the sled to accommodate some extra dust extraction
Casual DIY I’ve just blocked to port off. It isn’t particularly good but it is all I’ve got
H Tomasz, thank you for another fab instruction.
Not sure which of your posts is the most appropriate for my T track question, this one seems as good as any...
Here in the UK there are a confusing (to me) few options in T track dimensions. I'm talking about basic track, not the more advanced extrusions. I understand that Outer Dimensions are consistent at 19mm, but there seems to be some variation in the Internal Dimensions from different suppliers.
Is there one definitive size that will accept all third-party accessories, or am I hoping for too much? Thanks in advance for your thoughts- I know you've covered a lot of T track stuff already in your various posts, but I'd love to see your in-depth video on this topic alone!..
Best wishes,
Simon
Hi Simon, that's true, there is so many T-tracks out there with different sizes. Now I don't think there is just one standard, but there may be one more popular than the other. Me for example I buy T-tracks when I see a good offer, and by doing that I usually end up with t-tracks of different dimensions in my workshop. However I have to say that so far everything fits in all of them. One suggestion I may have for you is to find the cheapest t-track and buy that. If some of your accessories - t-bolts or normal bolts will not fit, just grind them down a bit so they fit. That's what I do. Hope this helps a bit.
Hi Thomasz, excellent video as all your videos are. As a Rage newbie, I wonder if you can tell me what the extra part attached to the fence is for? - Evolution call it the rip fence face plate. It's not a plate, it's like a mini fence (alloy extrusion) held on with two thumb screws......
It's called an adjustable face plate👍
@@CasualDIY :) When do we use it?
hi,i just purchased a rage 5-s but the riving knife isnt in line with the blade and consequently the cut wood catches as it passes through the blade,is there an adjustment or is it a case of taking it off and bending it in a vice,cheers for the videos keep up the good work .
Check out my re-review video on this saw, done it few weeks ago and I mention that exact problem. There is a bolt that secures the knife I had to tighten mine and it has put the knife in place. Hope this will help👍
@@CasualDIY cheers will check tomorrow
Once again Thomaz, cracking jig. Not that it matters but do you dream these up or do you take snippets and incorporate into your piece. I could never do anything like. Have you come accross that Fastcap zero clearance tape yet? Fourteen quid for 5 strips. Not as rigid or sturdy as yours but for convienience it goes on my mitre, table saw and when your cross cut sled is looking slightly haggered, bosch. Thank you for the great stream of info you supply in your videos.
Hehe a bit of Pintrest a bit of solution thinking and eventually something comes out of it. I just used a normal grey tape to be honest.
Hi, what T-track size did you use? was it standard size 30mm x 12.8mm ?
Oh I can't honestly remember. They were the smallest I could get. Don't have access to my workshop at the moment so can't even check for you.
your zero clearance plate - do you still think that was worthwhile doing? About to make my own sled & wanted your thoughts after 2 years of using the sled. thanks Tomasz !
Yes if you will be changing the blade. I was swapping my blades mainly due to testing and the kerf was slightly different between them. But if 1mn gap won't bother you then no there is no point. When I will do another sled it will have the zero clearance plate but that is my preference and laziness as I don't have to measure anything and the zero clearance plate will indicate where the blade will be exactly 👍
Good project. At 11:14 you state "screw and the rest of the screws making 11:16 sure that the fence is parallel to the 11:20 blade". I think you meant to say '....fence is vertical to the blade'.
That's the badger 😁👍
Witam Tomaszu!
Dziękuję za świetny filmik - bardzo fajne sanki!
Niedawno nabyłem piłę tarczową i planuję w niedalekiej przyszłości dorobić do niej sanki i nasunęły mi się dwa pytania:
1. Myślisz, że sklejka grubości 10mm też wystarczy, czy będzie za wiotka lub niepraktyczna pod kątem wkręcania wkrętów? zawsze zostałoby 4mm więcej cięcia :)
2. Mógłbyś podpowiedzieć gdzie można kupić takie ściski, których użyłeś?
Z góry dziękuję za rady i jeszcze raz dziękuję za udostępnianie ciekawych filmików!
Pozdrawiam,
Wojtek
Hej 10mm może być ok, sanki będą jeździć po płaskiej stabilnej powierzchni. Choć osobiście wybrałbym coś grubszego dla stabilności ogólnej- czyli płota z tył i przodu sanek. Zaciski kupiłem na Banggood.
Pozdrawiam 😁👍
@@CasualDIY witaj ponownie, dzięki za wskazówki. Jak na razie ciągle mam kłopoty z urządzeniem warsztatu, ale jak mi się to uda na pewno zbuduję sobie sanki :) serdecznie pozdrawiam!

What is the width of the runner for these evo tables?
The mitre slot I in a T shape so the runners width is the width of the narrow part in my case its 19.5mm
Hi! Just picked up the 18/12mm wood today. Gonna have a go tomorrow.
What would you seal the wood with? My ply has a sticker on saying “must use acrylic primer”? I’m sure I’ve seen you using osmo but that’s not acrylic is it? And how the hell did you hang it on the wall? Lol. Thanks 😊
Any varnish and or wax will be fine. I often just use sanding sealer and wax. To hang it on the wall I just made a "shelf" a piece of 2x4 and at the top a locking mechanism. Which was one strip of done off cut secured to the wall and another one attached with one screw to the first one with a washer between those two pieces. So you can easily move it.
@@CasualDIY thanks for the reply! :)
Kinda lost me on the wall mount lol.
Dust collection is terrible. How you manage the dust under the blade?
To be fair it's not too bad. Some goes underneath the saw and the rest somehow goes where the safety block is. There is no spray of dust everywhere if you know what I mean.
Excellent video as always. Very detailed and clear and concise. How much would it cost me if I were to pay you to make one for my Evo rage 5+ , haven't the time to make one( house husband minding the kids) and my shed is currently under revamp construction and garden too so no place for anything at the moment, even had to order up another shed for the back of the garden to store all the usual bikes, prams, car seats etc ..that way I might get my workshop back.. seriously though how much ? I could square up the last bit myself..
Hehe I don't think it will be worth it mate. I'm in Poland, I'm guessing you are in the UK? The price of postage would be huge for an item of this size and weight.
@@CasualDIY oh sorry I thought you were in the UK because of the plug I seen in your hand, I'm in Ireland so yes I believe the postage could be expensive. Thanks for the reply though. Hope you and your family stay safe. 👍🪓🪚🔨
@@TheEcorristine no problem mate, moved few months back. Just getting my new workshop set up again. We are all good thanks.
All the best 👍
any chance of putting the size of the plastic sheet you bought for the runners on your plans and also the runner dimensions too as so much slop in saw bed runners its unreal cheers but great looking sled and really good videos put on here by you so much so ive just took delivery of my new 5s but taking it out the box the table extention bolts fell out luckily gathered what they was ,also had to reset up the blade square as zero on mitre guage wheel not right so adjusted the bolts behind the wheel to remedy that then the small mitre had the expected wobble but also did it when added to slide the carriage so wasnt too happy but under the carriage there is another dimple on the casting for a bolt hole so drilled threw cleaned up the hole burr and tapped it out now solid as a rock so all good there also fence wasnt parallel so sorted that as well lucky for me im a fabricator welder by trade so all straight forward .will be making a zero insert for the saw blade but i will be using steel plate to do it one for the standard blade and a couple for some 80t blades for fine wood cuts but all that aside cheers for putting your vids up for everyone well presented and good looking finished items you make
Yes they do come with some problems. Initial setup is a must. The plastic sheet of HDPE was 50cm x 50cm x 2cm
I cut it to size. Now I don't have access to my workshop until June so can't check exactly for you but with these saws I'm pretty sure that your runners may need to be slightly different size to mine. All the best👍
Interesting features you have there, the T-tracks and the zero clearance strip. My only complain is the way you set up your sled's squareness. There is a way that is pretty much standard on setting the back fence for square cuts, made by William Ng. Here is his video, ruclips.net/video/UbG-n--LFgQ/видео.html . Test your sled using his method and you may see that your squareness is not that good, or mayb it will be, who knows.
Yes someone suggested that to me. Done the test and it came out perfect - probably more luck thank anything else 😉
This is a first for me as i usually like what you make but unfortunately i'm not fond of this build, there are too many tracks for my liking and if i was going put a track in it would be on the push part were you can put a stop block for repeated cuts.
It's a sled so it doesn't need all these tracks on it, as for a zero clearance there is already one on the first cut, and as a Evolution blade why would you want to change it, sorry but that's how i feel.
Oh and i haven't given a thumbs down on this in case you were wondering, i only do thumbs up.

Thanks for the feedback mate. I use two blades for my saw, the multiblade and the wood dedicated blade which is slightly thinner. But I'm also planning to try out the Saxon blades I got one with 3600 RPMS I think. Where it comes to the t-tracks I got few jigs that will utilise them. Hope it will make more sense in the future videos. As I'm limited on space I need my jigs to do multiple things for me as I can't afford to have too many. That's the reasoning behind it. But I fully respect and understand your opinion 👍
10mins (ish) fence needs to be perpendicular to blade not parallel. Just saying
Lol yes you are right 👍😁

hi mate thought id give you and everybody else a quick hack for this table saw as being a fabricator welder myself i like to do things the easy way :) and i think you have missed a trick with this saw..in its standard state the saw gives a fair table working size but both you and everyone else uses an extra support stand to cut larger sheets but we actually dont need to make or buy a stand we just need to do this.the left side of the table only pulls out so far so heres the hack.go to your local diy store purchase 2x 2m 12mm round tubes and a lenth of 47mm square wooden post remove the standard tubes on the saw, cut posts to leg size needed add a thread to bottom to adjust feet height attach legs to corners where tubes fitted drill threw where holes are now insert the tubes drill a hole threw each tube and bang a screw threw them drill hole threw other end add a nut and bolt threw it and voila you have now added 2 metres to the cutting length of the saw easy peasy
and also wickes sell a 19.5 x 2mm thick pvc flat bar ideal for runners but will need gluing together to make up the depth of runner at under £3 a metre or b&q sell a 5mm thick by 25mm wide pvc flat bar 2 metre in length ,trim width to 19.5 and theres your runner
Great stuff mate thanks 👍😁
11:48 Nooooooooo! Not that supremely irritating ubiquitous ‘click click’ backing track. It’s a fad, but it is everywhere. Almost every ‘lets build’ video uses it…. Once you get sensitised to it you can’t un-hear it and it drives me nuts. The Video content is good as usual, and pertinent to me as I do have a Rage 5s. But that clicking…that Damn infernal clicking. Aaaaaagh!
Lol I love it 🤣👍
