Watch the fence, not the blade. Watch the fence, not the blade. WATCH THE FENCE, NOT THE BLADE!!! Information to live by. Thanks for a great video/series 👍👍👍

[@timelmore2]

Every time you teach about table saws, I wonder how I'm still alive.

🤣 Same bro.

[@abdulelkhatib2674]

Same here

[@christineagnew7372]

same. same with a little bit of fear;)

[@theworkingclasspodcast676]

Dude I just cracked up so hard I thought the same about the circ saw as well. Lucky duck

Great tip regarding where to look during a cut. It sounds so obvious that we should be concentrating on the fence, while allowing the blade to do its thing. Thanks so much for taking the time to share this important information.

[@TheEssexSpurs]

Just bought a table saw and I enjoy watching this man's videos. He talks in a soft voice and its like being back at school with a teacher who knows what they are talking about/Greetings from Eastern England.

[@oxcart19]

The backwards feather board application for cutting thin strips is genius. I always see a “simple” method like this and wonder why I didn’t think of that. Really appreciating your table saw safety series!

[@davetarrant6888]

oxcart19 I agree

[@alext9067]

Yeah, that's another good idea. I never thought of doing that.

[@tannercook8136]

So simple- There are so many things I am learning watching his videos!

[@smokeythebear5414]

💯💯💯‼️‼️‼️

[@Nebx1989]

I just keep coming across all sorts of tips like that on youtube. I'm learning a ton, but it's really not great for my self-esteem. I've lost count of the number of times in the last week I've thought "this is so obvious and practical, I'm a moron for not thinking of that".

[@chrislambe400]

This man clearly wants to be able to high five everyone. Thanks for looking out for my digits mate!

[@theevallded]

I can't even begin to tell you how great it is to have videos like this at my disposal. These are well planned, well spoken videos with all the information I want it to have without all the long intros, forced personalities, and random garbage interjected that I found on most videos. Right to the point, so I can get back to work!

[@WoodworkerGuy]

Love your videos, you are a humble, superb instructor. Love your push block, no frills, just bulletproof and super safe.

[@dane3038]

I come back here and watch this when I'm returning to the shop after a long hiatus.

[@jefffuhr2393]

The highest praise I can give *Stumpy Nubs* channel is: *"Norm would be proud."* Especially when it comes to shop safety, such as this video and the others James links to.

[@paulvandriel2344]

At the end of these videos I always think "Oh, is it over already? I want more!" and start looking out for the next one. Great work James, thanks!

[@MrMarkpeggy]

You are a great teacher James. Thanks for the great tips!

[@allanh4803]

I can always come here to listen and watch knowing that I'm going to learn something. Thanks James.

Hey James, thanks for the great video instructions on the issues surrounding making rip cuts on the table saw. Very helpful!

Glad to see this series, since I just purchased a new table saw.

[@timschenck509]

Thank's James, I've made a lot of sawdust in my time. The idea of flipping the feather board is a really great idea!

[@huwdavies5264]

Yet another superbly informative video, which as always explains things in a simple to understand language. Cheers, Huw

[@billy19461]

Back side of feather board for small pieces is a great tip! Loved the whole video.

[@wayneparris3439]

Can't go over the basics too much! This is the first time I saw the back of the feather board to set thickness A+ :D

[@alanchappell414]

Thank you very much for a really informative and useful video. Great stuff!

[@AKHuntinFool]

Excellent tips and tricks. Thanks for this video.

[@robhough526]

This is the most clear and comprehensive video on safety and rip cuts I've ever seen. Very helpful. Thank you.

[@wimboon8880]

Even after years doing woodworking I learned something today, very thankful for your easy way to explain the safety side of woodworking, can’t wait for your next video, thanks James your my favourite

[@goodie2shoes]

This year i've been getting into woodworking. I watch a shitload on video's on safety and all kinds of techniques. Your channel is outstanding and very thorough and you explain it very well.

[@k.b.woodworker3250]

Wow! Seriously good tips about how to cut thin strips using the back side of the featherboard and also the tape trick. There were a lot of things I already knew, but love the clear explanations as reminders, because it's easy to get a little sloppy. Thanks!

[@ett5146]

Our Shop Class teacher sent us these videos to watch along with others from different channels. Your videos are the least boring and I feel like I actually learn things.

[@jeavideo]

thank you for this series! Newbie here.... I'm getting over it but at times I am somewhat terrified of my tablesaw. Looking forward to all of these videos.

[@bromporke]

First time table saw owner. You might just have saved me some fingers... I didn’t know how unready I was to start cutting until I got about 2 minutes into your videos! 😆

[@mirandarutherford1425]

BRILLIANT! All of it! My favorite video I have watched from your channel so far AND the most useful, helpful table saw video I have watched from anyone. I feel like I have watched a hundred by now, so that is saying a lot. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@kenb6102]

Thanks for a great video Stumpy, I really learned a lot. I am not quite a newbie, but I am far from being highly experienced. I learned a tremendous amount from this video. Especially helpful was the role of the left hand and the importance of watching the fence only, not the blade. I have often struggled to make accurate rip cuts. I started work on two nightstands today and using your tips I was able to make accurate rip cuts one after another after another. All were clean, smooth, and perfectly matched the others. Thank you very, very, much. You are an excellent teacher!

[@samuelroberts334]

Great tips!! I learned a few things! Thanks!!!

[@michaelmassetti4068]

Excellent video going back to square one safety video never hurts to refresh the basics.

[@dougguest6454]

As always another great video. Thanks James!!

[@GMastolier]

I've been at it for many years (longer than you have been around, Stumpy). But still find your safety tips very helpful and a good refresher course to remind me to stop, look, and think. Safety talk is always a good thing no matter how experienced one is. Keep 'em coming, Buddy.

[@davidmuresan628]

I do not use table saw for more than 5 years. I invented a "Parallel Guided Power Saw" you can see on you tube under this name which is much better and easy to use. Are you interested to partner with me to manufacture my saw? Is a patent pending.

[@AngeloBonaveraArt]

Great video on how to use the table saw safely. I've been using the table saw for 5 years now and I learned a lot of useful table saw tips. Buying a featherboard right now. :p

[@davidharvey5672]

Great information there. I'll be cleaning my blades tomorrow after seeing this. Thanks

[@SmallWorkshopGuy]

You truly are one of my Woodworking gurus, Stumpy. Your videos on basics have been a great help to me over the last couple of years - keep them coming. I can see another Golden Chisel Award coming your way for 2019 content - certainly off to a great start!

[@stumptownwoodworks]

So many people need to see these videos more than any project video. Going to point anyone I know working with a table saw here. No matter how long you've been making saw dust, a refresher is always useful. When experienced woodworkers get lax or lazy it's just as bad as a new woodworker being ignorant of proper techniques. Thanks for a great series

[@robinlindsay3423]

As a Beginner+/Intermediate- woodworker, I appreciated this video series very much, so thanks for that. Given your obvious love of innovated tools, I looked to your channel for a review on the GRR Ripper and was disappointed not to find one. Would definitely be interested in your take on that neat little push block.

[@henrysiegertsz8204]

Great video as always James. The first thing I bought for my table saw was a 24 tooth FTG ripping blade. The blade I got with my eBay, used Xcalibur saw, was a 60 tooth, crosscut blade, covered in resin, so the second thing I bought was some blade cleaner. I bought some of the grippy foam tape used in Track saw rails, to make a push block set for various router and saw operations. Great tip to hook the thumb of your left hand over the front edge of the table, as it stops your hand slipping towards the blade and adds control and evenness of pressure of the workpiece.

[@Jdefries1]

I am a safety director and your safety videos are great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@IvanFlack]

Your videos are without doubt some of the very best I have seen on the internet! I am a virtual "newcomer" to woodworking at 60 years of age and now retired but I certainly get a lot out of the whole learning process! On the downside...your product recommendations have cost me a fortune!!! Keep safe!

[@belowgrademaker2617]

Yes, the backwards feather board tip was something I needed to know but did not. Thanks!

[@64maxpower]

You're a good carpenter and good teacher

[@Falc0nBullet]

If this was a paid subscription to watch these videos. Take my money now! Great informative video!

[@chrisbarnes9488]

James, many years ago when I was a newbie, I had a table saw accident. A few months later I was at my physicians office for my annual physical. He asked me how long I had had my hernia. It was a surprise to me and to him since I had seen him for years. Well, my “accident” was kickback and the board had hit me near the you know what. I then remembered all the details and the pain that had followed it. Oh and the huge hole in the drywall after the board bounced off me. Hernia repair surgery later and I’m a heck of a lot smarter wood worker. Thanks for focusing on safety.

[@mjaldrich7]

interesting.. same thing happened to me, thankfully it was luann but my god that hurt.

[@KennethColeStatenIsland]

Great instructions, thank you.

[@derekstephens6768]

Very useful and informative video. Thank you

[@backtonatureitis]

Great video, really helpful for me cuz I am new to tabe saws. Figured out that I did a lot of mistakes using the saw after I received it a few days ago. Thank you buddy

[@rossmckenzie1854]

Very useful tips James.

[@woodshopsaloon9530]

Oh.. the tip on using the back-side of the feather board for thin cuts, that is going to come in handy! Thanks

[@tecsonics]

Excellent instruction.

[@scottlouis7785]

I was one of those comination blade users for a long time until I finally used the rip, what a difference, that was yrs ago

[@dougmurray9356]

I thoroughly enjoyed the pointers doing cross cuts. Having worked in industry a number of years and involved in teaching safety we always made sure employees did not have loose sleeves or clothing. I noticed though you had an unzipped vest and leaning over a saw or other turning equipment can be very hazardous, saws, drills, lathes etc. Respectfully submitted, Doug Woodstock, Ontario

[@leonardnoel888]

Excellent Well done and very useful. Thank you.

[@bherrick1]

Did not know about the reverse feather board trick for repeated small rips away from the fence. Thanks!

[@marc-antoinecouillard5014]

this video fits my skills. thank you for your explanation and tips

[@dredbud9272]

I use a feather board on every cut. Make one that you can move anywhere on the cast top with mag switches. I also use a Jessem roller guide,best addition to a table saw you can buy.

[@davidg105]

This is a very helpful and informative video. You're also a very good teacher. Now I know why rip cuts require a lot more pushing pressure than cross cutting. This one video with all the tips and tricks really made me a better, safer and more efficient woodworker. I will pass it along. Thank you sir!

[@UmamiPapi]

Fantastic info. God bless.

[@rosworld9129]

EXCELLENT video Stumpy! 😜👍🏽

[@larryquinn4964]

I am enjoying your Table Saw Safety Series. I decided, I needed a review of Table Saw Safety while considering replaceing my Shop Smith with a new Table Saw like the Harvey Table Saw and not the Saw Stop. One person reviewing the Laguna said, there are other safety issues with Table saws beside losing a finger, which made me to start to thinking about what I have forgotten. I have picked up several Tips on juat two parts alone. Reversing the Feather Board for thinner cuts and tape over the insert plate.

[@TrainingWheelTrucker]

James! Love your videos and the bank of useful information and forethought put into each presentation. I discovered another hack to prevent splinters when guiding rip cuts. I use a few inches of two-sided velcro (hook on one side/ loops on the back) as reusable "rip thimbles". They fit securely, prevent splinters, maintain dexterity and obvi, are reusable. Give it a shot. Cheers!

[@Lando1020]

Back side of featherboard for setup for thin strips!! Yessssssssss¡¡¡¡ thanks brotha'!

[@allanmcquiston]

I wish I had watched your very informative videos earlier, would have saved me spending 4 hours in A&E last weekend having gotten myself a table saw kickback injury! Luck for me the blade just caught the top of my thumb so just a painful gash albeit altering my thumb print. I like your "matter of fact" approach to your instructions they are clear and don't patronise. I am now binge watching your channel....keep the good work up.

[@PolarIre]

Thank goodness you're okay, that sounds like a scary close call. With bad injuries sitting do is good idea in case of fainting, applying pressure to help control bleeding but don't put on a tourniquet, you only want medical professional to apply a tourniquet. Limbs that have been lost could have been saved had a tourniquet not been applied.

[@tomgallagher8532]

Very good, thanks for the tips.

[@anonymoususer4356]

Another great video, Thank you very much.

[@scottstennes6983]

I hope new woodworkers find and watch your videos. A wealth of good solid facts based on experience presented very well. Well done sir! And yes the feather board trick for thin strips is so obvious when you show it... but I never thought of it. Nice!
