- Setting up and discussing my new Hercules Table Saw From Harbor Freight Tools. This is just a video about how to set up and get the Hercules Table Saw ready for use. I am also discussing why I chose to purchase this. The Full Review Will be coming soon.
Hey just bought one and you helped me out a lot. Thanks!
Thank you sooo much!! I just bought one and you help me to finish with the assambly job 👏
Made me laugh when you said you're not a very smart man. You know more about this saw than any of us watching you! A good friend of mine always told me : "You only have to be smarter than what you're working on." I bought a basic model Hitachi miter saw. Very happy with it. Good quality. Works for me.
Thank you for the help!! Your explanation is so much easier to follow than the manual!
Its a VERY good Table Saw. I just got it for $250. I replaced my 2 year old Ridgid floor Table Saw (not portable), and I put this Hercules at the end of my workbench. I sold my Ridgid. I saved a TON of garage space, and Hercules Table Saw cuts just as good as the Ridgid, its actually smoother.
On top of that, Im now able to cut BIG sheets cause my Hercules Table Saw is part of the workbench, so I use the flat top of the bench as an extension so to speak. I recommend this Table Saw to those that use it for home projects or some side work.
Was it on sale or were you able to use a coupon?
Your explanation is the best I have seen. I bought my Hercules Table Saw when it first came out and found no understandable information on how to set it up and use the riving knife etc. Thanks to you I will be safer using this tool. Looking forward to your Full Review.
Does a blade come with it?
Hi Brian thanks for helping me assemble this and for that reason I’ve like the vid and subscribed. Thanks friend for a great video.
I will be having the full review of this Hercules table saw coming soon. Do you have experience with this table saw? What miter saw do you recommend?
What can a miter saw do a table saw cant? Save ur money
@@BradsWorkbench Depends, but a lot safer, easier and arguably more important, faster to get cross cuts on smaller (6", yeah some do 8") lumber. Need 100 12" 2x4's? Set stop block and have your hundred in less than an hour, Table saw at least an hour in not more. It also depends on the set up of the work area. Most use a miter stand that has a lot of that set up all ready to go. where your table saw outfeed table etc. would be a lot harder to move around and takes up a lot more space.
@@Nowayjose-z2r They are more portable. But I still think making a good cross cut sled will take care of 95% of tasks most people will be doing at home. Once I got a table saw, I didnt touch my miter saw for over 2 years.
I heard some great things about the kobalt miter Saws from some professional contractors
@@BradsWorkbench yo Brad! Hope all is well and your staying safe through this craziness!
Been using mine for a few months now. Took off kick back pawls. Kept the riving knife. Tossed the blade guard. Added Diablo blade. Chokes a bit on a full 3 inch cut but don't cut that thick very often.
I have had Chicago electric for a miter saw for a few years. It works great and I'm only having problems with the stand, the saw is fine. Would definitely recommend it
I just bought the Admiral 12 inch Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Saw for 199.99$ And dude, this Admiral came With a laser, shop light, and a blade. Baddest Miter saw I've ever owned.
I bought the dewalt equivalent saw for $249 awhile back at Blairs Farm and Fleet and it's got a good warranty included in the price have a great day brotha and keep doing what you do
The only issue I have with the Dewalt's is they have to many to choose from. lol. For a few $$ more better rip compacity etc... though they all seem the same basic table
@@Nowayjose-z2r mine does everything I need it to do and have been ripping plywood sheets and 2×4's no jobsite saw is meant to replace a dedicated table saw right tool for the right job
I don't like the new Dewalt portable table saws. The table is way too small and they use a 8 1/4 inch blade.
I got me one of these at HF. It cuts through lumber like butter. Smooth and even. I kept the blade that came with it. The fence is good as well. Why is every one in the woodworking community hate HF power tools?
Ronald De Guzman I bought many things from HF back in the day when I was young (around 2005) and most things didn’t last one use. I only have an angle grinder that has held up but only issued it a few times. I have always had a love hate with HF and it’s been well over 10 years since I have purchased anything from them. Having said that, the Hercules line has me very interested and I’m going to buy this saw so I don’t have to keep cutting lumber at my dads. I’m pretty excited to pickup the saw this week. Glad to hear you like it.
Their old Chicago Electric power tools are pretty bad but recently they started selling much better brands such as Bauer and Hercules.
I bought Hercules miter saw 329$ came with 1yr warranty.. I'm a novice tho, cuts great love shadow guide..
Brian, I tripped the power on my hercules saw and can't turn her back on. Anyone out there know where is the reset switch?
Did you kick the breaker going to the outlet? I've looked on my Herc and I don't see a reset anywhere.
I appreciate what you do. Just a suggestion, maybe add a video of how to get the blade square to the fence and all that type of stuff. I know there's plenty of videos out there on how to do that with cabinet and hybrid style saws but it's different on these little portable table top saws.
I am going to brother I'm trying to get around to everything I appreciate the comment and appreciate the suggestion.
I always wonder if the Hurcules table saw was worth the money over the Chicago Electric. I'm looking forward to the review. Thanks.
The Hercules is a million times better than the Chicago Electric table saw. 24 inch Rip capacity vs 11 inch. Much better fence. Much better blade. Much better motor.
Good video. I've had a Herc 7A grinder for the past 2 years. Very happy with it and I use it all the time. I bet the saw is pretty good.
The Hercules mitre saw is the best mitre saw ive ever used. The shadow line beats the laser all day. It cuts true and straight every time.
thanks i had problems ajusting the riveting knife [ understanding the little lever wouldnt pull up
I just recently got this saw and have used it for a couple projects and I think it rates up there with some of the big name saw. The only thing I wish is it had a better style handle on the fence.
Go with the Ridgid 10 inch sliding miter saw. Very good saw.
yeah just bought one... it seems fairly good for a 250 dollar saw, mine took a ton of adjustment to get the table and fence square. plus the table top is not flat. the miter saw defiantly is not worth 350 dollars.
Picked up the Hercules miter saw with coupon for $299 wanted a saw with the led shadow line and it was the cheapest at saw that had it. The saw also comes with a really good blade. The warranty on the saw is now 1 year and the saw is made in Taiwan vs China. I cross shopped it with the dewalt dws779 on sale for $350. The xps shadow line add on is an additional $90 and a good blade is $40 extra. The DeWalt is made in China from what I've read. The DeWalt also only has a 1 year warranty
Dewalt comes with a 3 year warranty and probably is made in China but the same Dewalt saw is cheaper than the Hercules miter saw right now. I think the Hercules looks nice but for 350 i have to pass i would buy it for 250 and chance the warranty. But that is awesome that they have at least extended the warranty to 1 year now. I think if they want to compete seriously with Milwaukee and dewalt then they have to beat their price and at least match their warranty. Lowes actually has some great deals on miter saws right now they have a metabo i am thinking about it has everything and is marked down from 5 to 299 for a few more days... hopefully i can get it lol
Riving knife, not riveting knife
Finally someone worth watching on youtube
I appreciate that Hurshtyler. I hope all is well brother.
hurshtyler why do you support China
Miter saw, go Metabo 10". The only issues you'll ever have is if you need to make a wider cut, as it doesn't slide. But you have a table saw, the only other issue is it's not dual bevel. The chances you'll ever, ever need it, are 1%. But that one time, man would it make life easier. But I use a Metabo I got from lowes for around $135. No reason to get a 12" blade, they cost more and you rarely make cuts deeper than 5 or 6 inches. Power, it's great. Dust collection. It sucks. It's not accurate out of the box but it's maybe a degree off if anything. Sometimes the laser would be nice, but just like the cut up, it's fine.
What size Miter Saw and what you want it to do., If I was going to do multiple projects I would definitely look in to the Evolution saw Definitely get a sliding double bevel I bought the single bevel 7/quarter a Royobi a decent saw but not knowing anthing about what I was buying I should have researched it more than I did .,that being said the saw has done every thing I needed it to do ,but it's nice to have the extra ability.
so what would you do for and stand for this or what would be and step up from this
Great video and good to see you putting out good content. I loves the saftey disclaimers, I do the same crap as well.
Hey man liked your video, I been looking at miter saws also , looked at the Hercules, nice saw but for $150 more you can get dewalt 780 @ amazon, I’m not sure yet, but just looking at the 2 in stores I like the dewalt better just feels better, and I like my dewalt tools. Where was that dewalt table saw for $330 at?
When you said in not a smart man, it reminded me of Forest Gump when he said I'm not a smart man
Brain how do you stop the blade from burning?
Make sure the blade is installed correctly the teeth should be pointed towards you looking at the saw from where the on off switch is. If it is in right and youre pushing the material through correctly and it is still doing it change your blade.
1. You might be feeding the material too slow
2. The blade has too many teeth and the material is too hard or thick
3. The blade needs to be cleaned
4. The blade needs to be sharpened
5. The fence might not be parallel to the blade
What kind of 60 Teeth blade you recommend 10" with 5/8 abor
It cant do dado.
Nothing in the manual!!! How do you align the blade to the meter slot (adjust the blade alignment) ?
I am going to do a video buddy but you have to adjust the trunions it would be too complicated to explain on here. Keep your eye out I'll try to get it done soon man.
@@RedemptionGarage THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! :)
Not to sound like a troll but the $ that the herc costs this thing is not a very good deal.
Spend the extra money and buy the dewalt, much better saw for not much a price difference.
Does this accept dado blades if I swap the plate out?
It does not.
I just saw a old man lift it and put it on the table in their HF ad.
Riveting Knife?
Now I know who writes owners manuals for HF tools.
Another GREAT video!!!! Awesome bro. Keep them coming, and as always from day 1 keep it 💯💥💥💥
Interesting video Brian @Redemption Garage
Yeah man, some HF tools are just as much as main brand tools. Why? You go to harbor freight for cheap tools, not comparably priced tools lmao. The Icon 8 peice screwdriver set for 50 bucks is a total rip. I mean yeah you still got the lifetime warrenty and yeah you can warrenty then at the store and if you you go a shit tonn of other harbor freight tools, I guess the appeal is there... but a few months back a bought a 24 price Sonic screwdriver set for 100 dollars. I get 2/3 more for double the price and they're better tools with a lifetime warrenty as well. Not all deals at HG are good ones. Be smart and compare prices always. Dont take their word for it.
Harbor Freight doesn't want to be known as the place that sells only cheap crappy tools. That's why they came out with the Hercules brand aimed at professionals.
Last Video=F*** Harbor Freight & all their shilling ass bullshit!
Current Video=Check out this Harbor Freight table saw unboxing video!
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....................you got some splaining to do!
Dude are you shilling again? I thought you got help for that lol jk
Im working on it brother lol
@@RedemptionGarage I'll pray for you and your sins lol
