[@alberttreado3713]

James, why is that particular shop vac on the list your favorite?

[@StumpyNubs]

@@alberttreado3713 Because it's the one I have and I like it. I am sure others are fine, as well. But I can only recommend what I personally use :)

[@alberttreado3713]

@@StumpyNubs I just thought you might be more inclined towards the larger unit they offer. The peak ( I know it means squat) hp and running hp is higher, and it’s quieter. Maybe the subject of a video? Im really confused about which to get. I have an older Ridged I’d like to replace, but given my space limitations your smaller unit might be a better option.

[@StumpyNubs]

@@alberttreado3713 Horsepower is meaningless. I refuse to believe my shop vac has a motor more than three times as powerful as a typical router or table saw. They fudge those tests every way imaginable. Size is a minor consideration because I like to use a mini-cyclone with it, so dust doesn't go into the vacuum anyway. Sound level is a factor worth considering. Might be an interesting subject for a video...

[@hardcornpour]

I just built my first piece using dados and rabbets. I used scraps to sneak up on each setting and the final project came together flawlessly. Great tip!

[@RB-jv6un]

I watched another guy make a very similar jig but he used the exact wrong technique to cross-cut with the board against the fence. Amazing. Glad I found you James.

[@nobuckle40]

Good morning from Ohio James. Although I've been a woodworker for a very long time I never get tired of hearing the basics. Thanks.

[@ejd53]

My grandfather was a joiner who apprenticed in the Glasgow shipyards before coming to the USA in 1923. He always told me to "Work to the wood, not the rule". Still good advice.

[@chipstick1973]

I would like to thank you James, I recently bought an entry level table saw. It’s mitre slots are totally different to all the saws on KZbin, but with hints and tips from stumpy nubs channel and Steve Ramsey I’ve been able to set up the saw and made my first cut yesterday. A 4 foot long rip cut in 9mm ply, you guys make it look so easy. After many practice passes I successfully cut 6 inches off the length of the wood. Why have I waited so long for this tool, it’s amazing.

[@kirbyspencer538]

You sound like a guy that doesn't consider 5" 31/32 to be six inches. I have no idea what else you might be but I think you'll do well with precision work.

[@emeyedeejay]

I purchased my first table saw ~3 months ago. Videos like this are an absolute godsend for the beginner woodworker. I also question why it has taken me 10+ years to finally buy a table saw ... Honestly, if I could tell new starters (like me!) one thing it's that it should be in the list of first tools to get.

[@arthilliker3721]

I wish I could spend a YEAR with you to learn some of the knowledge you share with us !! Thank you so much for all you teach us !!

[@loricraig3306]

Old beginner here, and while I'll need to watch the video multiple times, thank you for showing the safest, and most accurate way to make these joint cuts. Although I enjoy watching fancy woodworking project video. I always come back to you for the safest and most accurate way to work.

[@joegutierrez4197]

Thanks for explaining why it was okay to use both miter and fence while cutting the outside rabbit! Blessings!!

[@MD-en3zm]

Marking the center of the table saw blade is something I’ve never thought of. That was a fantastic tip.

[@dcblakley]

Thank you for advocating making a test cut. So many other channels brag about how accurate they set up their rip fence is try to prove by quickly moving it to a measurement, lock it down and make the cut with out verifying the distance with a test cut. I always wonder how many times they cut that piece only to find out is was not cut to the proper measurement. You never see that in the final edit. Most wood workers have scrap wood, yes I said that out loud. Admitting we have a problem is the first step. We always have scrap for a test cut. Besides, with the cost of sheet goods these days, why not take the time to make a test cut. More cost effective in the long run. Another great video, thank you.

[@Willee64]

Adding tape to your fence for fine adjustments is a fantastic idea!

[@puwazatza]

wow this is a gamechanger. thank you so much for the share.

[@TheTrock121]

Excellent video. When I'm sneaking up on the final cut I call it, "Tickling the wood." lol

[@bigray2859]

I've commented before and I've always meant to say this. You are a great teacher!! Thank you!

[@AJ-ln4sm]

If you cut enough rabbets, you can eventually get a rebate! Great tips Stumpy!

[@philthompson3415]

Well done! Test cut and ease up to the final size! Thank you for the time you take in sharing you methods of table saw skills!

[@beetonmatthew]

These videos are really well put together -not amateur in any way.

[@AirwolfCrazy]

As a high school wood shop teacher I show the students how to cut rebates and lap joints as an intro to tenons. I liked this video due to the fact that there are things you say that are almost exactly how say them to my students. Keep up the good work!

[@timlist4173]

Let's Go Redwings. Thanks for these valuable tips.

[@TrevorDennis100]

Marking the centre of the blade on the insert is such a simple idea, but I have never thought to do it. I'll be putting that to rights first thing tomorrow.

[@wreckenbach9703]

I read this in my head as Mike Tyson...I'm still chuckling at it

[@michaelmewis4761]

Dear Stumpy Nubs, thank you for your channel. Its honest and informative and I enjoy all your videos, again, thank you, Michael from England.

[@5zwoodworks]

[@logresmentotum7065]

Simple, direct, and smart.

[@krumba100]

Amazing great videos. Thank you! I like all your work, not just this one. It shows that you have experience, unlike the other youtubers who make a living with making videos, not with woodworking.

[@RobDucharme]

These are some of the best tips, because every base I can think of is covered here. My table saw isn't powerful enough to kick back - it will just stall, UNLESS a small piece falls between the blade and the throat plate, then be alert and stay clear!. But just taking into consideration the concept of the sacrificial fence for this purpose, a concept I've heard before but not in this context, helps me get better at what I might be doing down the road. This is what excites me about getting more into woodworking. It's the little tricks that the tool manufacturers don't tell you about.

[@qd63991]

I’ve been a woodworker for over 40 years, and you never fail to teach me something I didn’t know. Thank you!

[@juggernaut3299]

This was awesome. It made something that is kind of intimidating ( at least to me) really approachable. the whole idea of "sneaking up" on a cut is something that I have been doing in other settings, but I thought that it was because I was bad at cutting. Seem like more of a strategy now.

[@FormerlyKnownAsAndrew]

I really like that you made a video about this. It's true. I started with a half lap...but that process honestly upped my game.

[@rpavlik1]

Thanks for explaining why it's ok to use the dado set with both the fence and miter sled. You answered the question while it was forming in my head

[@curtisdriver8686]

I could have used the masking tape tip this week! It’s in my brain now, I won’t forget, thanks!

[@tharemyhopkins5873]

I may have missed it last video (or so), but congrats on 600k, James. And thank you for the excellent tips.

[@andrewduff3452]

Another good one. Thanks. Ever thought of a series on "what did I do wrong?" Giving help and commentary on subscriber's video/photos?

[@carasmussen27]

Thank you!! I have cut dado's and rabbets and either not enough cut or just a bit too much. Going to use the tape trick. Another educational and informative video.

[@ipick4fun27]

I followed you design and made a jig like this for myself. It helps a lot when making lap joins or notch out. Since I got a job site saw, I double up on the support piece on the right so it doesn't fall into the mitre track. Also it gives it little more stability since the my table saw fence is very narrow.

[@jumpingjacks5558]

Excellent video as always. I am so thankful you have a channel.

[@poppamichael2197]

James Hamilton has presented another great video filled with practical tips for all woodworkers. After over a half century of woodworking I agree with everything presented. However, even when using the single blade method I prefer to cut my dados close to the fence. I believe this method gives greater control over the cut and the workpiece can't spin out and ruin the cut. although the masking tape trick won't work in that position, you can still start narrow and sneak up to the width of the dado. In any event, I always make test cuts on a scrap piece before running my actual stock through the blade or dado set.

[@EverydayBuilds]

This is such a good video 🙌 Your time and energy that you put into these videos is much appreciated. As a woodworker, I am always looking to improve my techniques and be as efficient as possible without sacrificing quality. You always either confirm that I am doing something correct or give me something new to try. Thank you! 🙏

[@NotoriousOzTheMan]

Fantastic instructions, thanks for helping out all the newbies getting into woodworking

[@Biglou13-z3p]

I like my Incra fence. Built in micro- adjust.

[@stephanieray6587]

Stunning helpful, James. Thank you very much.

[@MMWoodworking]

Great video. The hard part for a lot of us small shop guys is that our contractor table saws just don't have the quality fences that a professional cabinet saw does, and man is it hard to make jigs with no play when your fence has a lower tolerance for its manufacturing specs. My DeWalt fence, while pretty darn good for a contractor saw, has a slight little dip in the middle. It isn't a huge deal for normal rips or anything, but on jigs that ride the fence I always have trouble, as in the very middle it has some play.

[@64maxpower]

Thanks. You again make something difficult a simple and accurate task. I enjoy your channel

[@thomasbyrne7770]

Most excellent presentation. Concise, logical, applying theory to practical skills... good job! Tom Byrne

[@scottboyle7547]

Great video and I've made a bunch of rabbit and dado cuts in my time. I'll be making a couple of those jigs.

[@grosbeakmc]

Excellent tips, James. Thanks so much for sharing these.

[@harrykeel8557]

Good food for thought. I have been attempting to do some bowl segmentation, and I had the first jig that you cut the segments with the rest was just a afterthought. Not any more, I did a bowl, it had gaps between layers, even though I had made a sanding wheel for my lathe. Why the gaps, when cutting the segments where there was no support for the material, the blade was of course pushing the pieces back just enough to screw up the angles and it warped. So wasn't put some clamps on it to hold the material and now they are almost perfect. Which led me to make the zero clearance table saw insert and a beveled piece that goes next to the blade so the cut off pieces will fall away from the blade. Your right making the right stuff for the job is paramount, and I am being a bit more smarter. Sorry for the dissertation, but I am happy that I followed the process, now my bowls will look better.

[@immanuelvonloeper8357]

Thanks so much for that great education, amazing

[@erickdanielsson6710]

Thanks Jim.

Hola! 🖐 Really good video, the masking tape tip is awesome!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and making these videos, please keep them coming. Take care and have a good one, Adios! 🖐

[@robertdennis1439]

I really love this video for so many reasons….one essential point that could easily go unnoticed is the benefits of marking the location of the apex of the blade…can you please explain In some more detail how you go about finding the apex of the tablesaw blade? It’s not the center point of the opening of the throat plate on my ridged saw, thanks! Rob

[@artswri]

As always, very useful to-the-point info, well presented and still enjoyable to watch. The 3 amigos jigs are must haves if you do any real joinery on the table saw. Thanks much, again!

[@danshrader6722]

Great video!

[@AntonioEligius]

Every time I see you talk about rabbets I remember your "Of Mice and Men" impression.

[@89Ayten]

You a man of sophistication, makes jigs for cutting rabbets on the table saw. Me, a caveman, uses a hand router.

[@robertpearson8798]

Sometimes, if I only have one or two rabbets or dados to make, I'll just use the "nibble" method, but if you have a reasonably decent table saw it's worth the expense to buy a good quality stacked dado set. I also have a dedicated sled with a wide cut-out for the dado cutter.

[@cbassrips]

Another fantastic video. You guys are doing great work, I always learn so much.

[@scottsimpey2965]

Great video and thanks for sharing. I’m in the process of making a bookcase for my daughter and I need to cut some rabbits on the case pieces to hold a back panel. While I do have a dado blade and have it set up for some reason my table saw doesn’t seem to be staying at the set height so I’ve been thinking about using my trim router with the fence. However, I might try making a fence for my saw and trying the rip blade double cut method.

Despite being in Australia, where we call them Grooves and Rebates, I got interested in woodworking from watching youtube videos, and since the majority of woodworkers on here are American, picked up the US lingo instead.

[@Rebel7469]

Got a table saw given to me but without a fence. What kind or how would you suggest making a fence for saw?

[@williamsmith9026]

You need a table saw to make the fence for your tablesaw. Buy a new one with a fence and do what the person that "gave" you the tablesaw was doing when he gave it to you. Throw it out!

[@Dave6842]

See Very Super Cool Tools. Involves some metal fabrication, nothing impossible though. Build your own fence rails and then you can buy his fence t-square and actual fence, or any other that could work.

[@pawpawstew]

Hey, James, which "ATB/R" 10" table saw blade would you recommend? I've got a Dado stack, but there are also times I'd like to use a standard blade with a flat top cut.
