Hi. great ideas. I see you have a Delta band saw and a matching Delta table saw. I have inherited both from my late Dad. He bought them in 1942 when he was an apprentice cabinet maker / shop fitter. I am still using them in my workshop. Great machines.
Thank you so very much for making this very helpful and illustrative video! I have a 30" interior door with a need to transition 3/4" from new hard tile to the lower existing hardwood. Am looking to make a 5" wide transition strip using glued together hardwood scraps rather than a solid piece of oak. Figuring out how much of a cut I can make on my very, very cheap table saw looks like the next step! Thanks again!
Here's a tip. After cutting the plugs with the plug-cutter, turn the piece on its side and run it through the table saw. Plugs come out clean and fast. Can save time with using a chisel or screwdriver to snap them out.Especially if you have lots to make.
Sure, that works fine, in this case the board I used was too wide (my slider blade will only cut 6" high). But I do that on my resaw bandsaw if I have a lot to make. Thanks Cliff!
I've done that as well, but it takes 5 times as long, and running a business time is all about money. I did mention this as an option during the video - play it back again if you missed that. I do have a 24" planer that can take a 1/4" cut, but still too many passes. Cannot compete with one slice on the slider and one pass through our Butfering wide belt on a sled. Done. I do appreciate your viewing and comments, thanks!
Josh Olson Josh, thanks for enjoying! As to my goof, I guess as we get old (yea, I'm ancient) we start to forget things that were instinctive earlier in life. I still can't believe I didn't realize I had the wrong blade in until I was all done and had to disc sand out those kerf burns. Damn! I ran that sill at night about 4:00 am - which is also why the lighting was not as good as the intro part which I did during daylight (I have skylights which let in tons of daylight). So yea, at 4 in the morning the brain doesn't work as well. Glad you saw the humor anyway!
As long as the customer was happy, that's all that matters, right? :-P Hopefully the disc sanding didn't take too long! ... I was wondering about the lighting change but decided against hounding you on it... especially since the audio was clearer this time! :-)
Josh Olson Josh - I ran a 60 grit, then 80, 100 and finally 120. Took all of about 5 minutes total. So - no biggie! And one of these days I'll have superior lighting in my shop for those late night camera sessions... And yes - the client showed up at 8:00 am and was ecstatic! He just loved his new sill!
knives&stuff Thanks! My shop is located in New Jersey, 1/2 mile in from the Atlantic Ocean. Matter of fact - leaving my office door I can be at the Manasquan Inlet in just 3 minutes - that's the beginning of the Inland Waterway. A path that will take you all the way to Florida by boat if you've got the urge... ;-)
To tell you the truth - I never noticed it. But at any rate - the one above the slider is gone now as I've installed new lighting, and in different locations. There is still a couple left throwing the moving shadow, but not above machinery. And they will be cured next month as I relocate the paddle fans above the lights rather than below. Thanks for stopping in!
I wish that slider was just $15000 (chuckle). I do have a few table saws, this 16" slider is the largest and as is obvious, you cannot put this fence on the other side of the blade. The next largest table saw I have that I can move the fence to either side is only 14" and that's not enough to cut this angle needed. So yea, you're lucky to have a 16" table saw where you can move the fence either side. Me, I never felt comfortable paying the $7-8K you would need minimum to purchase a 16" industrial table saw - which is why I bought that slider, so much more versatile than just a standard table saw. It has paid for itself being able to cut up six 3/4" thick sheets at a time for box building, my regular table saws cannot do that with such ease and accuracy. Thanks for viewing and commenting Tom. Much appreciated!
Looks great dude. I think you chose the correct tool for the job. Quickest and easiest like you said.
Jay Bates Thanks for the compliment! Always great to be appreciated by my peers... :-)
Beautiful sill! Client must have been happy 😃👍🏻
The door will looks great. Definitely a great way to get the job done
Moy perez woodshop Thanks for the nice comment! Appreciated for sure! :-)
cuskit o
Nicely done. The door sill has a nice classic shape. I like the plug idea.
Thanks man now I know what a plug cutter is and does:)

Yes, I got both of those from my Dad as well. I did upgrade the unisaw with a 5hp motor and a Biesemeyer fence. Thanks for the comments!

Definitely seems like a nice safe way to make that cut.

@@cuskit Yep, bandsaw works great as well.
Excellent vid and cool jig...ty, sir!
I love watching other woodworkers problem solving tips. By the time I need them they’ll be long forgotten, but hey still fun to watch.👍
The plug tool is a fascinating, any recommendations on where to order? Regards, Jonathan in Naples Florida
We use a planer to make these...raise one edge so the taper line is parallel with the bed and send it through ezzzy

"I goofed. Okay, I admit it; I'm dumb." XD The tone you said that was hilarious! ... Enjoyed the video regardless!

Hell, it would take me 5 minutes to change the saw blade and then change it back after so... who's dumb? :-P ... Nice @ lighting plans & client.
Josh Olson Hadn't thought of it that way. Hey - you've justified my goof! Thanks friend! :-)
Name the bluegrass banjo tune at the end of the video, and who is picking it.
Great Video Sir!! Thank You
Thanks! :-)
Good video mate! Wherw are you from? Project looks very good and the proces is well explained! Nearly 800 subs great :)

I want to see more pictures
I would find the moving shadow of the ceiling fan very distracting while working.
To tell you the truth - I never noticed it. But at any rate - the one above the slider is gone now as I've installed new lighting, and in different locations. There is still a couple left throwing the moving shadow, but not above machinery. And they will be cured next month as I relocate the paddle fans above the lights rather than below. Thanks for stopping in!
I just put the fence on the left side to cut it cuz I don't have a $15000 table saw.
