How to Build a Table Saw Lathe (Tenoner / Dowel Maker)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июл 2017
- I used half a sheet of 3/4 plywood to create this table saw lathe. I will be mostly using it to round out stock and create spindles. It can be used as a tenoner and dowel maker as well. I have a free set of plans available on my website (link below).

![table saw lathe for wooden rods / tapered rods possible as well [woodworking]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/yIZMZ7XJis0/mqdefault.jpg)
The author does like to from scratch, ruclips.net/user/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.
I did this in High School in Phoenix Az 60 years ago. Mr. Kinnerman wood shop teacher had a patent on it. I still have 3 tables with round tapered legs I built in shop classes
Very cool Table Saw Lathe . I have seen many others make these but I do like this one better.... Thank you for sharing.....
If you're going to make a video that will appeal to a professional woodworker ... THIS is the way to do it ! Well done !
Thanks John!
I made one years ago to make tapered legs and have sold hundreds of legs since.
It works best if you use a 24 tooth thick kerf flat tooth grind blade. A lot less sanding.
I taper my legs with a jig on my bandsaw first.
Drill your bearings at an angle also for tapers, or you'll get a lot of tear out.
Keep your blade clean and sharp. Made a jig to sharpen my blades too.
Small dust collector hose in the side helps a little too.
Nice build! I like your design with the hold down clamps.
It’s so much more satisfying the way you do the predrill/countersink/drill. When I do it, it takes forever!!!
Nice... I would add a plexi glass top and a port for a shop vac. Maybe add a safer place for your hands to push and pull. Would be cool if you added the drill or a motor to the tailstock so that it could be hand free and out of the way. Good work.
Great video and a great result. Thanks for making this.
This is awesome. The only thing I'd change is the way you made the shafts on the end. I'd make them a little longer so the blade can reach the ends of the workpiece. I'm going to have to attempt this soon. thanks!!
I really like this build..great job and foresure one of my "bucketlist" things to do.....
Congratulations! You've made a... stick! lol
Pretty clever; liked your editing as much as the video: fun watching you do the drilling, countersink, and screwing. Nice!
Mejor madera para colmenas
nice built!! you could also add a plexiglass door on top with a hole to collect the dust that will be trapped in there!
I thought of that too, then realized that the gantry with the non powered center wouldn't be able to accommodate a fixed lid size. If that makes sense.
The plexi could just be the full length of the whole jig, but that'd required some design changes to accommodate.
Really nice. If I ever make one of these, I'm going to design in a mechanism for holding the drill so I would have both hands free. One of those right angle drill adapters might work.
might use this when I make my deck. give a twist on the standard balistairs
Thank you for making this video! Very cool
I've never build one this big or complex but a table saw can turn out a whole range of turned wood products. I just finished a couple of superb hickory carving mallets.
Its cool, and could easily be used with a router too for different effects, like the old Craftsman routercrafter.
Great job, might add stops at the ends so when making several alike they end up the same. I like anyway.
Good idea... Use the screw from an old scissor jack to make it finely adjustable.
Great Job. Loved the video forwarding you did, awesome!
FINALLY!!! A Polish Wood Lathe!
Excellent job, thanks for sharing
Great project! Great editing and video production.
You sir, know how to use a cordless drill. Nice job. Cool idea
Awesome work.
I do think it would be better, though, if you used a corded drill that was permanently attached to the adjustable end.
That way you'd only need to concentrate on moving the sled and the height of the tablesaw blade.
+oobaka1967 agreed but I don't have one. My crappy drill now lives in my pocket hole machine lol.
Great video sir, thank you
awesome awesome awesome! I'm building this! thanks!!!
Parabéns um trabalho de mestre👋👋👋👍
ASSUME !!! love the way did the video, oh ya the jig is great to
Excellent !
This one its pretty bad ass, im gonna have to try it
+Uriel Valdez plz do its fun to do
you should really give where credit is do! I know that the original concept belongs to Izzy Swan who put this on-line in & around 09.15. You've done a great job bringing this from a Tablesaw Hack to a reliable jig that is capable of repeatable cuts & objects! Give Izzy his do!
+John Ediger already did
BRAVO !!!
You my friend just got a new subscriber
+glogey thanks
Idolo I was making an iron table but seeing your table send all the iron to the shit kkkkk copiare your guide and I'll pass it when finished.
I want to learn how to make log furniture I hope you could make more furniture from logs I would really appreciate a lot but that much help.
a hug from Bolivia South America
And sorry if it is not well written I am using the translator
Completed build is a one trick pony. But what might be lost on some viewers is allot of great techniques you used to construct the sled. Not the most versatile shop jig but I must say... you got skills dude... Great execution!
+Cameron MacDonald I will be using this jig very soon in a cool project so stay tuned ;)
Cameron MacDonald p,'.+
Fantastic idea. Thanks for sharing
+Amirhousein Hazratifar thanks
Awesome
You could easily modify to a perpendicular orientation so the blade is at crosscut angle, then you would have ability to create flats, channels, angled grooves, etc...

Gotta get me a pair of those Carpenter's sandals.
very nice job !!
cool!, maybe add a plexiglass top cover and a vacuum hose plug in on the box so you can collect all the saw dust.
good project man!
excelente projeto
Nice!
nice work bro 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice done
Muito bom! Gostei.
esta bueno ese invento
Loved the editing :-)
Great stuff buddy!
nice..good job
Excelente
I was thinkin the same thing as Valantis MappouRas, using a plexiglass window on top to keep the shavings from shooting out everywhere..... Maybe even a vacuum shop vac hole on the side?
Nice...tough to make tapered posts tho....have to be pretty precise with blade heights.
Looks like I'm going to the lumber yard today ! Great project.
Thanks
"....Exellente trabajo Senor....!"
thank you
Bravissimo
awesome
Use a 90 deg adaptor and put the drilling machine in the sliding box :) add a movie with that pls.
one more sub here, Great work.
Detachable, clear plexiglass on top, vacuum hose hole, multiple intake vent holes on the sides positioned to blow sawdust away from the corners. Multiple vacuum holes, to choose the best exhaust position, and plugs for the unused vacuum hose holes.
+Doug Parker sounds cool let me know when you put the build video up so I can watch it.
I don't have the shop space, nor the shop to do it. I'm just brainstorming and paying it forward by suggesting things to add to an already good thing.
wouldn't be too difficult to put a cheap lathe chuck on there, and a drill motor on amazon is pretty cheap. you could even hook it up to a dimmer switch and run it to a hard point to save your batteries. instead of toggle clamps, I'd get a leg vice screw, also pretty cheap on amazon. then maybe add a sliding tool rest on the side and use it as a regular lathe also. you can do fast smoothing with the saw, and add detail and flare with a chisel. This is a cool jig, now that I think about it.
I only can say Wow?
+Jacin Droid world of warcraft?
nice job
thanks
you can close the area where the rasp is made with a transparent material, for suwdust.
Sweet build! Have you thought about putting a lexan cover with dust collection on it?
No to lexan yes to dust collection. Watch my table saw lathe follow up video.
Don't know who the bozos were who gave this project thumbs-down, but I thought it was pretty clever, especially for those of us who can't afford a lathe. Do you have plans for this project? Thanks. Nice work.
+Larson Bennett yes on diybuilds.ca
What keeps the bearings at the surface of the board. Looks like they will be moving around in that thick stock
Cool build, it is weird to see you use glue! lol, what brand glue are you using?
Lepage
also watch my planter video lots of glue lol
What’s weird is how little glue and how many screws.
+Jasper Janssen little glue means design changes if necessary
I would add bearings for the threaded rods to ride in. You will develop slop over time.
+Douglas Holbert did you miss the part showing the bearings?
My ADHD apreciates your editing. Great idea and very well executed.
Thanks. I try to keep things as non repetitive as possible while still showing every part of the build. God knows I can't pay attention long enou.... Ohh a penny.
No mask, no ear protections, flip flap shoes... You're my hero 😜😉
Great jig 👍
If the slide was on a slight angle to the blade would it not do a better job of cutting with the face of the tooth as to the side of the tooth. Just wondering. This would be a great way to make pegs for timber framing.
Great video. Just wonder if the saw blade is 100% in the middle of the created spindle????
I believe so
Best one I've seen so far! Subscribed!
Yeah.. Baddaasss!!!
Tout ça pour ça !
loved the table saw lathe. But do you have a parts list to go with the plans
no, you need some toggle clamps some 3/8" threaded rod / nuts and 3/8" bearings (4)
Great build, I would love a set of your plans however my browser is saying it won't go there as your site is not configured properly? Any ideas?
Cheers John
+John Hunter not sure works on my pc and phone and having heard that from anyone else... Try a different browser or pc or phone?
Do you have a set of plans and a bill of materials used to make your fixture? What was the total cost to build this/ i understand the cost will vary depending where items are bought. Thanks
If you used longer (more pertruding) threaded rods wouldn’t it keep mom waisted material at the two ends? Thanks
parabéns top
Ayyy, Zelda sound effects lol
Now anouncinggggg: The coffin Ten, ten, tenonerrrrr, dow, dow, dowellllll makerrrrrrr. Woohoo....Yeah!
Ni, ni, ni, niceeeeee.....lol...Lovin' it. Sounds like I'm stuttering huh? Lol.
He must be a screw millionaire
Hi, I come across your channel by this video. Look around and subscribed. You have many great projects here, congratulations. Thanks for sharing. By the way, what is your name?
over engineered!! for the win!!! :)
You could have built the box and used a good HP drill to make a lathe that sat on a work table and tucked away in a cabinet reducing the space required in a shop. That way you can use normal gouges on it and put in more difficult profiles.
+V Star 1300 Adventures that is not the point of this jig. Please watch my video making a rustic log table to see the potential of this jig.
I see the potential, but I have a very small shop to work from Being able to tuck that lathe assembly away in a niche is a great benefit. There is no chance I have space for a table saw, even a desk top table saw would require a space requirement I don't have available right now. Still working with my friend to declutter, but that is a several years long process. I like the engineering behind the concept. Good work on that part.
Awesome video! However, I don't think it's going to hold. You might want to add some more screws!
+Jeremy Dok i tried it won't take it ;)
if you made your end spindles height adjustable, then you could make turned tapers also.
Very true
good job!
Great video and excellent work! Thanks for sharing.
P.S. Being nosy - What happened to your right arm? Is that just glue? Or is that a scar from a burn or road rash or something?
Grease fire burn.
wow
It would get more detail on a router table. Simply a file in a hand would do something too, since the spin is drill powered.
Nathaniel Stenzel that has been tested and the table saw blade leaves a better finish and is much faster
Man I wish I could screw stuff together that fast.
2 drills. or 3... One for pilot, one to create head-sink... one to drill... They are pretty cheap now-a-days...
Sem palavras
Would you be able to cut a constant tapered shaft using this jig?
Yes but you would have to raise either the front or back to create that effect
Looks interesting but I'm sticking with my lathe.
+Alan Pinho thanks. I have both and I feel the table saw lathe is indespensible. Especially to make your own dowels and banister.
