It’s has helped me 9 years later! Thanks to Facebook marketplace

Thank you

Like the plastic chute idea! Also, is that a Lichtenberg burn piece on table at end of video?

Thank you Sir.🎉

Wasted 2-minutes of video for the introduction indicative of an individual who likes to hear himself talk. Jump forward to the end at about 20 second intervals to determine there is nothing of value. You didn't show a damn thing. It's like a tour of what was built, not how it was constructed.

I've been using the sandpaper method with 7 different grits on my K-Bar that I was issued 23 years ago. Sharp as hell.

You do have to spend some time setting the saw up... blade, fence, etc. But once done, the saw is great. Fairly compact which is Nice kzbin.infoUgkxXh-4_3-ZT1fFWP91ZV7iVqzElr0lEb-a I did get an Incra Miter Gauge which takes some setup as well. The stock miter gauge can be adjusted in the miter slot with a little painter's tape... this tightens up the side to side play a lot.

Sears is history

Thanks kevin! Have some great advice. I also use the sandpaper method and it has worked great. I hear some big names put it down like it's the devil's advice or something but I'm pretty sure they're probably just chilling for the companies that make the diamond Stones and waterstones. I see no practical reason why the sandpaper method isn't effective and more than acceptable. I just decided to start learning how to do woodworking a couple years ago, maybe three and I have been teaching myself through videos on KZbin the same as you and that means a lot of trial and error which may irritate some people but is my preferred method of learning. I get very familiar with the tools and the wood in a way that most people don't if they learn from their father or class and I learn much quicker that way. You also get insight that is unteachable doing it this way. I was considering making a KZbin channel adventure in this learning process but quickly realized that creating content for youtube, especially if you want it monetized is a full-time job in itself and decided to reap the benefits of others who have done this before me lol. So it is much appreciated. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Thanks again!

Just for clarity, what you’re calling a splitter is actually a riving knife. And what you’re calling riving knife is called a pawl (or anti-kickback pawl). I have the same saw and the riving knife that came with it is thicker than my thin-kerf Diablo blade. I had to remove the riving knife because it was snagging the work piece and creating a dangerous binding situation. Rockler sells a great thin-kerf riving knife which has been a good solution for me. One thing to note is that the fence on this model saw has a huge amount of play in it, which makes super-accurate cuts almost impossible and again creates binding when the back of the fence cantors towards the blade. I would caution anyone who needs to make furniture-grade cuts to avoid this saw unless they want to buy an expensive after-market fence to replace the factory fence.

ты там охуел что ли совсем, в натуре?

Thanks for the review. Was there a fence with the saw?

I like having the table flush with the cast iron table. Otherwise you lose height. I'm a woodturner who needs maximum height to make circles on large bowls. Most tables on the internet are built on top of the cast iron table, thus losing and inch or so for the add-on table. Thank you for a great video.

THE TOOLS ARE UNDER THE END COVER

An open question for anyone that owns this saw. How flat and level is the top. I’m guessing it’s made out of Cast Iron. Was the table hard to adjust.

i know this video is super old but you could clamp a strait edge to the blade and clamp the riving knife to the strait edge. then it wont move when you tighten it down.

The wrench and magnetic hook tool are stored in the door on the side of the machine.

I am a hobbyist woodworker looking to pick up a cordless driver and a impact driver. I’m not necessarily looking for the best since I’m not a professional but I want tools that will have plenty of power when I need it, the batteries are going to last so I’m not constantly running out of charge, and tools that will will last and be dependable. I don’t want to buy cheap tools but don’t need the best. Can you recommend which tools to buy, brand and type of battery? Thanks.

awesome 👍👍👍👍

I learned some very helpful tips from you. I purchased this saw (my first table saw) about 6 years ago but didn’t start using it much until about 3 years ago, partially because it scared the heck out of me, and partially because I didn’t have as much of a need or time to learn. I’ve jury-rigged the dust collector similar to what you did. I’m now comfortable using it, as there are some cuts that can’t be done anywhere near as safely, accurately or quickly with any other tool.

I used Woodglut instructions for this and I already did it :)

Looks great!

Very nice!

This is a very useful video, bit I feel this needs to be said: these knives are SHARP! He does wear a glove on his left hand when he's actually flipping the knife, but you need to be careful if you don't want to bleed all over your planer.

Kevin - Believe it or not, I just purchased this exact saw, in the box from a neighbor who was moving out of state. I have no idea why he never used it but it’s like brand new. Still in the box. Your video is helping me in the assembly. Thank you 6 years after the production of your video. 😎

I did the same with Woodglut :)

Why glass?

Very helpful, Kevin. I want to use this method for lapping my whetstones. Keep it simple, right? Oh and pretty kitty!

“What wood Kevin do” you win sir lol

Great Help Many Thanks

This video actually helped me! I have pretty much the same band saw. I had to put new tires and a belt on due to it's age. My top wheel is set right in the middle but the bottom wheel was right on the edge, further than yours was. So watching how to set the tracking on the lower wheel really helped. I need to tune up the blade guides too, think I'll do that tomorrow. Glad you shared this video! Thanks a lot!

Im kicking myself for buying a Ryobi but it was what I could afford and maybe one day I'll move up

Yea that is a very nice saw!

Thanks

Thanks Kevin. Very informative.

Yep, FUNCTION #1!!! I've never seen a bandsaw in the middle of a livingroom! Save the beauty for fine furniture!

Add the question mark to your wall art.

Nice video. The tape marking holes thing is a great tip, dunno how I've missed that before!

I just picked up a R4511 for free. How does the R4512 differ? Any idea?

I just saw a post that a guy picked up this saw for 350$! So jealous

Great review. Thank you.

Is he gone

Before this year I didn't even know that onions could be started from seeds. Thanks for your information.

Great video, love your approach to things. Liked and subscribed...🙂👍🇨🇦

Their a tool kit built in to rigid on the side of it Just found mine after ten years

Nice very useful

Nice and simple thanks. This is a major time-saver on picking out which sharpening tool is the best.

Sandpaper definitely does sharpen your edges really well, and another advantage is that you can use large sheets: you’re not restricted to a small surface of a stone or a diamond plate. However, I don’t like the fact that I can only pull the material, I prefer to go back and forth. And, most importantly, sandpaper is too expensive: it has to be replaced all the time, good sandpaper (the car body stuff) is not cheap, in the long run it’s the most expensive solution by far. Water stones are the cheapest option, but you need something to flatten them regularly, so I prefer diamond plates. They stay flat forever, no need to peel off and re-glue, less garbage, and they last for years. Sandpaper is a good option when you start out: if you decide that woodworking/carving/whatever isn’t your thing after all, you’ll only have spent a few bucks on sandpaper. But if you stick with it, the money for the sandpaper business will add up quickly.

Great tips. I never thought about the cold water

Did Rikon make that Saw?
