Thank you for your brief video. I just bought one. Literally 20 minutes ago. And this is my first one. Never used one before. First table saw ever. I'm a bit intimidad lol. I think (and hope) it will do what I want it to do. Cut in a straight line lol. I think i got what I paid for. So far i put it together and cut one 2x4 and so far, I'm satisfied. Thabks again sir.
Its a good solid saw for sure. It should do about anything you need. Ive used all the brands remodeling houses for a living for a few years and they all do the same thing really. I just bought one the other day for my garage. Its a good saw
Needed a replacement for my 25 year old job site table saw…dewalt, etc are running between $350 to $400. I picked one up, adjusted like you said and it works fine for my handyman business. Easy enough to load/unload from the back of my truck for quick jobs. Someday I’ll get one of the rack and pinion tables saws…..
Thanks for this video. Well done. Just what I needed. The user’s manual was written for people who already knew how to use it, and who knew what a Riven “knife” was, and how to change places. The user’s manual did not show how install the first blade, or how to attach the clear plastic guard.
Thanks for the video. You might want to clarify that you TURN THE DIAL to adjust the blade angle rather than PUSH THE HANDLE. Thinking of getting one today just for simple day projects.
Excellent point. For anyone reading this, he's correct, the handle adjusts blade depth and the wheel spins separately from the handle to adjust blade angle.
I purchased this table saw just before I went on deployment.. I will be back soon and I have a 80 tooth blade on it... It runs like a champ for the honey do list I got. And for all the stuff I will be doing when I get back. I am ok with this saw. I just wish they would give better details for all the extra parts.
I agree with everything in your review. Except mine isn’t nearly as loud. It is much quieter than my old Ryobi. Maybe something they changed over the last few years. Came here trying to figure out what the extra fence piece was for. At least I’m not the only one who can’t figure it out.
@@entrancedorange2113 im glad they worked the noise out on this machine. For what I payed I wasn't expecting much, but for what it is it's been good for me. And yeah that extra fence piece is probably some attachment for specific cuts. I haven't needed it so I haven't bothered to figure it out yet lol. I really only do rips and angle cuts with the slider. Making strapping, cutting boards to width, or cutting sheets to size. I'm no carpenter that's for sure.
Anthony good video. Your advice really applies to even more expensive saws- they all should be checked when changing settings unless you were spending thousands. Your demonstrations and advice are very helpful. I have this saw and it’s really powerful currently running a dewalt 10 inch. QUESTION: Can you us a DADO blades for spline cuts??? And yes it’s load save your ears. You’ll be glad you did when you’re 75.
👍👍 thanks for an honest review I need an inexpensive but accurate saw ( not using it a lot) for ripping 3/16 exotics. Need clean fine cuts so a better blade would be needed, but that saw might work ☺️
Thanks for this good overview of this saw. I have a question. Someone on another video said that you can't rip 1/4" strips because of the riving knife? It that true or just someone who didn't know what they are doing?
@@RevvyTone I'm sure you could make rips at that thickness. And even if the knife was an issue, you can always take it off. The saw I use at work doesn't even have a knife. The knife just helps to keep from binding on longer rips and cuts.
I believe you can, there appears to be enough room for it, and the kerf seems to be wide enough to accommodate a dado, that's something I really want to try as well. I'll look into the specifications on the saw, I have a feeling I'm gonna have to call warriors tech department to ask. I'll let you know when I do, thanks for watching!
Take good care of your ears. I'm old and paying the price for being careless when I was young. The price for good hearing aids is about 8 thousand bucks and going up.
Thanks for the advice, I work in a shop with loud machinery as well, and have taken better care to protect my ears in recent years. I do appreciate the wisdom from those with the experience! Didn't know hearing aids were that expensive sheesh.
My man is right. I was always fanatical about using ear pro. And screwed up one day using undersized plugs instead of muffs on a police rifle range. No hearing loss, but ringing and it sucks. Get a small set of good fitting plugs.
Dewalt 8 1/4"table saw can go for $300 on sale. Skil 10" table saw can go for $300-$350. I highly recommend either one. The Dewalt 10" goes for over $600. If you want cheap, then there's Craftsman, Ryobi, Kobalt and others.
@@kentaroo.7759 I still have this saw, and it still works as it should. With that being said, I agree with you. There are better options than this one. Thanks for watching
I thought it was pretty straight forward, but again, just making sure your fence gauge and bevel is zeroed before you use it is the most important. The blade was easy to get on and off. I also had to un bolt that attachment on the fence, but they should just be finger-tight nuts in the fence t-slot. Let me know how it goes for you! And if you come across any issues, make sure to mention them! Thanks for watching
@@anthonyyoung4978 no problem. I will be playing around with it tonight. Your video saved me some headaches. I wouldn’t have thought to double check the squareness of the blade angle. I was also surprised there aren’t more videos on this particular saw. 🤷♂️
@@CommercialForest yes, it's relatively new to harbor freight and yeah mine was off by 5 degrees or so, it was pretty bad 🤣 other than that I really don't have any complaints so far, but of course if I encounter issues I'll be sure to post about it
@@anthonyyoung4978 Got it set up last night. My blade was about 1 1/2° off 90. Not obvious enough to spot it, just enough to ruin a few planks before figuring it out. Thanks for your help.
I Got Me A Ryobi 10 Inch Cordless Sliding Miter Saw & It's A Goodone For $331.99 With $23.00Taxas It Cam Out To Be $356.00Wich Isn't A Bad Price. I Make Things Like Drinking Coasters & Repairing Furniture.
@@dangrimes5078 They entered my phone number wrong, and unlike every other modern business, they cannot or will not look up an order based on the credit card number... Just unprofessional.
I have one real similar does what I need. The only thing that you have to make sure is lining up the fence. It’s not very accurate so you gotta use use the ruler that was about it cut fine. You have a good pick it up. I built the stand or but we’re doing, small jobs nothing commercial in my garage $70 came up late so I’m happy with it like I said just setting it up setting up only problem
Any advice is great advice. Thank you

I just bought one of these to cut milled pieces of tree and came here trying to figure out what that thing that was attached to the fence is for
Glad you mentioned the milled peices of tree.. about to make slats out of small pines with one lol
Thank you for the review. This will work for me. Enjoyed the presentation.

Right on! This saw is great for here and there work, I've made some really nice cuts with this saw glad it's working out for you!
From Buffalo, N.Y. Thanks Pal, THANKS for the information.
Thanks for the video. I watched it and then ran the first cuts on mine. I love it. I was able to take about 5/8" off two sides of a board.
bought one adjusted it and have been using pretty good saw
I think it's great for what it is I haven't had any issues! Glad to hear it
You answered all my questions. Thank you 👍

Yeah harbor freight is notorious for that. Lol but it's definitely usable. Mine is still going strong.

I debating but iether hf or craftsman
I was wondering if you could tell us how to adjust the rip fence. Mine is off a bit. Great video
Today if I get around to it I'll make a short video on my method of adjusting the fence, I'd be happy to help! Just keep an eye out for an upload
@@anthonyyoung4978 thank you sir! I'll keep a watch for it!

Is this capable of ripping 2x4 in one pass and 2x6 in multiple passes?
Yes, in fact I ripped a 10' 2×4 last week at a 45° angle just fine. I would just set up some stands or an extra surface for material that length.
@@anthonyyoung4978 I think he may be confuseing ripping with resawing.

@@anthonyyoung4978 thank's bro!
@@AngelGarcia-ig7oy couldn't find any way to extend the table portion of the saw, but if you have the saw, you can always build and extension! 🤣

I agree for the price is a great saw, if you want a better one pay $500

Yes I believe you can, there appears to be enough space on the shaft for a dado.
Buy those cheap ear muff in harbor freight at least 2 of them and hang it around your shop
Good idea, I normally use electronic ear pro but I left them in my range bag. Lol I'll definitely snag a couple pairs of those 👍
"adjust" = calibrate
Just bought this, broken in the box; Harbor Freight won't take it back. It's junk, they are trash. Save up for something decent.
That doesn't make sense. They always take stuff back within 90 days. Is it because you don't have your receipt? They have pulled that on me before.

@@anthonyyoung4978 I wasn't trying to bust your chops... I impressed myself by spotting it.....
Don't lose respect for your equipment. I watched my shop teacher cut his finger tips off with a electric planer...
