Thanks! I don't do construction, but rather home woodshop, gift-making, but sometimes larger things like a cajon (wooden box drum). This video is helpful. I have a very old and small Craftsman table saw. I'm way overdue for something better and have only been considering a cabinet saw, since I don't need portability. It's hard for me to let go of the machined steel top and weight, but I'm starting to think this might be a good upgrade idea. My shop IS small, so the small footprint appeals, plus the ability to quickly fold it up and get it out of the way. There's a number of cool features that I did not know about, like, the quick blade rise (though I wish there was a way to switch to fine adjustment), the quick miter adjustment, and especially the extendable table! Hopefully, it's all sturdy and the fence stays square and accurate. Hmmmm. Plus, some money saving.... Hmmmm. Can I let go of my cast iron dream?
Great review, Jeff. It's nice to hear from someone who has actually used a piece of equipment instead of receiving it and just going over features. Bill
It's like we're having a conversation! You're turning that nob on the fence and I'm saying to myself "what does that do?" and 2 seconds later you say "to be honest I don't know what this does " Almost fell out my chair.
We use that as our job site saw and I didn’t realize that support wing was integrated into the fence.. we’ve done so many dumb work arounds up until this point… thank you!
I’ve had my SawStop job site table saw for about a year. I love it, changing out the blades for a dado stack is easy. Changing out the cartridges is also quick and easy. You can dial in the angle if you use a digital angle gauge with the knob on the far right of the saw it has plus & minus you can fine tune the angle.
@@Eyehearttravels No.......absolutely not safe...& Will not fit with the Dado Blade brake in place. The Dado accepts a 8 inch blades, & you should really see what dado blades are compartiable with the SawStop. (It has to do with the weight of the blades) Same goes for the regular blade only a 10 inch blade works, other sizes won't engage the brake properly.
Nice review, I have an issue with this saw the insert doesn't fit in securely and when transporting it often falls off and the last time it fell it shattered on the concrete floor. Any suggestions to prevent this happening in the future? I could remove it when transporting or lock the fence over it neither solution is ideal. There has to be a better solution someone has already found
I noticed when you locked the fence down before cut (press down on red latch) that the far end of the fence wiggled. Did it 'wiggle into place', ie your 5 inches? Or did that wiggle it askew? I hate the fence on my old Porter Cable cause I have to make multiple measurements to make sure the fence is straight.

Question: Does your tablesaw, have a lot of slop when locking down the fence. Mine does and I've seen on Reddit that some other folks also have issues with the fence staying in place because the right wing doesn't fully lock. I have about 1/16 of play when the right wing is locked. Any suggestions if you are experiencing this issue?
Have you had any issues with rip fence accuracy? I'm used to a rack and pinion fence and I'm skeptical on that style of fence staying parallel to the blade.
It’s the same style fence as nearly every cabinet saw so I’d say the design is pretty well tested. You won’t find a rack and pinion fence on a cabinet saw.
@@TodaysCraftsmenit will take a dado but you will need to get a dado break as the single blade break isn’t strong enough for a dado stack. I have the same table saw and love it, now I am going to go and switch the handles the other way like you have it… dang good idea.

Thanks, Bill. I hope someday we can be the guys getting those tools 😝
I've got that saw for my small garage shop. Had it for about the same time you've had yours. Works great. Love it.
Right on! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

No problem! We learned ourselves 😝
Thanks guys. Informative and enjoyable!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Saturday Morning Coffee with Today’s Craftsmen. Another educational video, thanks, guys!
Yeah, baby! Thanks for tuning in! 🙌🏼
That saw was a joy to use at Makers Camp last year ripping all that walnut down. Someday I’ll upgrade the Dewalt jobsite saw to this one.
It’s definitely a quality jobsite saw!
Very informative Jeff & that looks like a really nice portable table saw! 👍👍
Thanks, Steve!

Yes! We noticed that fine adjustment knob right after wrapping up filming! Funny I never noticed it before that day.
Can you use the 10” Diablo blade on the saw stop. ?
Absolutely.

THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO.
He posted the video 3 min ago. The video is 10 min long. Ladies and gentlemen this m f is not real.
Our pleasure!
😂😂😂 🕵️♂️
Great video Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
To prevent the fence from moving when you’re locking it down, slightly pull it forward as you’re locking it down.
Good tip!

It wiggles it into place but I do need to adjust a little bit of slop out for sure.
Good stuff
Thanks, Rick! 👍🏼

Like play before you lock it down (I.e. trying to nail your measurement,) or play after it’s locked down?
Have you had any issues with rip fence accuracy? I'm used to a rack and pinion fence and I'm skeptical on that style of fence staying parallel to the blade.
It’s the same style fence as nearly every cabinet saw so I’d say the design is pretty well tested. You won’t find a rack and pinion fence on a cabinet saw.
It looks like it has a big enough arbour to put a dado stack on that. Have you ever used one in there?
I have not but it will accept one!

I have the same table saw and love it, now I am going to go and switch the handles the other way like you have it… dang good idea.
Great info! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
It's very similar to the Ridgid job site saw minus the flesh sensing tech...🤘🤘🤘
Very cool! 👍🏼
no eye protection while cutting? lol
Not always. You do you.
Also your fingers go along side the blade when your cutting , is this how most trades guys operate , amazing obviously safety is of little concern .
I’ve got thousands of hours on a table saw, thanks.
hello, how do I contact u? I didnt see your info
