Quick note on the table saw gauge, when checking blade alignment to the miter slot you are only validating blade trueness when leaving the gauge stationary and rotating the blade. To check the blade to slot, start at the front of blade then slide the gauge to back of blade. Reference the same tooth in the blade for best accuracy. I have been enjoying your channel. Keep up the good work!

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Thanks for sharing that Tate, really appreciate it! Thank you so much fro watching and your kind words!

[@georgelavelle2097]

The mallet is actually good. You're mistaken for what it is used for. It's hard and smaller in size because it's used in combination with chisels. Now you know!😅

You are very good with your tool review, I will like to know if you have an opinion for VEVOR Benchtop Spiral Jointer, 8-Inch. 2 HP

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Great question Victor, and thank you. I have not tried that spiral benchtop jointer. I would guess that it does the job as it is intended, but what i have found with vevor is the tools can often times be more difficult to adjust and really dian in. Instead of a knob or a dial, you may need to use a hex key or screw driver to adjust something which can be a little less convenient. Great question and I wish I could be more of a help!

[@hamilde]

Don't forget, you can use that dial indicator to measure how parallel you blade is to the miter slot. I check mine every year or so.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Excellent point! Thank you so much for sharing and watching hamilde! Really appreciate it!

@@hamilde Thanks so much! This youtube thing is making it more difficult than ever getting organized! :). Thanks for watching me over the last year or so. I can't believe I've had so much growth. Really am grateful!

[@robertlevine2152]

Flynndogg, Good information as usual. When you use the dial indicator on the blade as in your video, I'm not sure what you are checking. Assuming the arbor nut is tight unless the blade is bent you should not find any difference. The dial indicator is used to check whether the blade is parallel to the track. This is done by marking a spot on the blade as far from the arbor as practicable. You should mark where the dial indicator is making contact to the blade with a Sharpie. Rotate the blade 180° and move the dial indicator to the spot that was marked. The difference will be an indicator of whether or not the blade is parallel. You can buy a calibration disk. This keeps your fingers safe from the teeth of the saw. The calibration disk, with some adhesive and sandpaper can turn your tablesaw into a disk sander. Bob

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Thank you so much for sharing this Bob - Great information really appreciate it!

[@andyevans8385]

In the last year I have ordered dozens of tools from Temu. Almost everything has been really good (been woodworking for more 30 years as a high school teacher). My favourite items so far are the Ruitools diamond stones, the tiny plane(which when tuned up is my absolute go to), the little router plane which I now use more than my Stanley one, mechanical pencils, a bunch of fences and t-track and several squares, all which are actually square. Price wise it’s a no brainer and nothing has arrived damaged. In fact the list of good stuff is too long compared to just a couple of items that weren’t great.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Thanks so much for sharing Andy! I think Ruitool is pretty decent actually! I have one of their flush trim saws and it works great! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and thanks for watching!

[@Jack_all]

I've bought a lot or woodworking tools from temu lately and they have all showed up well packaged and within 10 days, and im in Utah. I don't really like buying chinese knockoffs, but there's no way i'm paying $150 for a woodpeckers compass i can get for $7... the chisel honing guide is my favorite Temu purchase of the year.. i love it.

Good video. I like knowing ahead of time if some of these budget items from China are any good. I wanted to let you know that I took the plunge recently and order a few items from Banggood. Of course, I want to support American companies whenever I can but the alternative to what I purchase is not actually from an American company and is twice as much for what I paid for its Asian equivalent. I'm referring to the Chinese equivalent of the Jessum table saw stock guide. I just started using the Hongdui guide yesterday. I have never used the Jessum brand but I will say that the Hongdui doesn't appear to be a knock off. It actually looks pretty identical to the Jessum guide. So much so that, and I could be wrong but, I suspect they are made from the same tooling. The guide works very well with no issues and it's half the price of the Canadian counterpart. I also picked up a 39" inch T square. It also appears to be very accurate and a good buy. With free shipping and taking a little less than 2 weeks to arrive at my door I can't complain! I thought I'd mention it. I wasn't sure if you've done any videos from Banggood or not. Thanks for the video!

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

I've ordered from Temu several times and I've yet to receive a package that's as battered as you and other Americans seem to get. Not to mention anything being banged up enough for them to be damaged right from the start. I'd probably look at your local couriers / USPS / whatever delivers the last leg for those responsible for the damages. Otherwise I do agree with what I see often: A lot of the gear is often really tiny, some are really poor quality while others may surprise you, but most often you're just surprised for once you actually received something useful.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Thanks for reminding everyone why to steer clear of TEMU for any measuring devices. They just stick thin rulers in a bag to ship over the biggest ocean on the planet. It looks like either they are TRYING to improve shipping since a couple of items were in boxes, OR… and this is more likely… they got a deal on “scratch and dent” products.

[@pepperman9]

You did not do the blade calibration at all. Mark a tooth. Turn the blade until that tooth is at the front of the throat, set the gauge. rotate the blade to where that same tooth is at the back at the throat, check with the gauge and if there is a difference or not, that will tell you what if anything needs adjusting.

@Flynndogg Woodwork I've only received a couple of orders from Temu. No packaging damaged at all. But what I have noticed is that stuff I've seen is counterfeit. I recently bought from TEMU an "Original' German made Hurricane lantern from an apparently well known German maker. The packaging says "MODEL IN GERMANY". The attached tag, which is a copy of the genuine makers tag says "MODEL IN GERMANY". The lanterns glass lens says "MODEL IN W.GERMANY". It has "W.GERMANY" embossed on the metal body. But underneath the base of the lamp it has the embossed words "MADE IN CHINA". But I have run the lantern for several hours and it seems to work fine… for now. It seems to be well made. I guess time will tell. So until it stops working, I will give it a "Chinese Clap" for functionality, and a "Chinese Crap" for dishonesty. It is clearly a dishonest counterfeit of the genuine German product. But it was dirt cheap. A very nicely made and fitting cap I bought from Temu has NO manufacturers label inside. That is dodgy.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Totally agree. That has been exactly my experience as well. I actually did a video on many of the issues you spoke of last summer. Temu also avoids paying import or duty taxes by making sure orders are less than $800 apparently.

[@TheGchiu]

Ironic conclusion given that Amazon have announced that hey are going to sell similar priced tools to compete with Temu

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Hmmm... Interesting. I'd love to see amazon reducing their prices! Thanks so much for watching TheGchiu!

[@bastian1847]

I'm not sure it's fair to say the quality of the ruler isn't great based on it bending.... it was sticking out the side of a package, unprotected, after all :) I do like that you can switch out a more stable ruler, though.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

True, and point taken. Temu really has a packaging issue in my opion. Thanks for watching Bastian

Can't be surprised when the tool that shows up is smaller than expected. Using a child's hand in the photo shoot to make it look bigger is no different than using child labor in the factory to make it cost less.

Haha! That may be accurate! :). Thanks for watching bmacaulay!

[@WyldfireKeeper]

The Amazon ship times for non-Prime members is about a week as it is. Hell, they can’t even keep their 2 day promise for most of my wife’s Prime orders. And Temu seems to only be getting faster with their deliveries. Most of my deliveries from them are at about a week and a half. You’ll wait longer for Temu, but if you do some research, you’ll have a good idea of what is junk and what isn’t. And if we’re being honest with ourselves, Amazon offers almost as much garbage for sale as Temu does. So you’ll save a bunch of money on the stuff that isn’t junk, not have to pay for a premium membership, aren’t being lied to about shipping times, and only have to wait a few more days than non-Prime shipping times. The only real downside to Temu is the return process is a pain.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Thanks for sharing and watching WyldfireKeeper!

[@FrugalShave]

You forgot to mention that Temu has free returns and will refund you for any and all duds you get, so you don't end up spending any extra. Also the mallet is designed for striking metal tools not wood. So if it was soft it would be a compete fail as it fell apart very quickly.

Temu is exactly the same as Amazon, they are both aggregators, they don't sell any products of their own but Amazon looks better because it has been around longer and is more polished

So, a temu review video, but hardly any functional links to the reviewed temu products, interesting.

Yep, that is because Temu does not allow you to create such links, the products are constantly changing and I couldn't even find many of the products that I even reviewed. This is another issue with the website.

It’s difficult to not indirectly buy from China anyway. Even products made in other countries are often made with parts sourced in China and other nations. It’s VERY rare to have a complex product made entirely from 100% domestically sourced, manufactured, and assembled in a single country except China.
