John Heisz - I Build It John you are such a fine craftsman. I tell you if I lived next to you you would have to serve me with a restraining order. God bless you man.

[@n0rth3rnlight]

Yes Yes a hundred Times yes

[@squishy312]

I doubt that many of the commercially made table saws can cut with that amount of accuracy and consistency.

[@alfredneumann4692]

And if something gets damaged, you can fix it yourself!

[@genelomas332]

Any chance you can make available the build plans for this awesome saw..? I'm struggling to design my own..

[@richardkatzman1215]

John, I see you’re still at! I love watching your videos because they are always exact.

[@jonathanpopp3529]

John, Last year I bought your plans for the fence, built it and LOVE it! It took a old family saw missing a fence and not been used in nearly 30 years to being used now. I mistakenly thought why would you do another video of building a fence, wow, glad you did! I learned even more about building it. Thanks John!

[@negotiableaffections]

The heart of the tablesaw - a bespoke fence & system. Brilliant work John.

[@foxtrot9000]

i built your fence for my table saw 2 years ago and i absolutely love it. I use it close to everyday and it hasn't let me down. thank John

[@simonhildebrand8782]

Why no riving knife John ? Its really dangerous without one?

[@vectors2final36]

I've made a couple of these fences from John's plans and I've been very happy with how well they performed. It was the best $10 I've spent on anything I've seen on youtube.

[@440a]

I realize this post is months old, but I have a question. I am getting ready to build this fence and have been studying the plans. I don;t see the dimension for the bottom fence part (H) where it joins to the TEE. How much overhang is needed on the handle side of the TEE??

[@440a]

Never mind, I found it on another page.

[@mopemaster]

Finally the fence of all fences! ;) Great build John!

[@rufusTfirefly67]

It's amazing how smoothly that saw runs. Nice work, John!

[@ksnax]

I made this fence and love it! With care in creating it, it is very consistent and precise, beating out the quality of the stock fence on my newer Craftsman contractor saw. As I mentioned in another comment, I changed the profile of the locking lever to hang vertically when unlocked and lock at horizontal. This creates a less hazardous space for people to move around when not locked in place, as well as reduces potential alignment shifts from being bumped.

[@lucm70]

Amazing tool ! It must feel nice to acheive that level of perfection .

[@cjlamber]

Thanks John. I just completed your fence and it has made a huge difference to my table saw's capabilities. When you dont have a table saw fence it is a long process to measure individual rips using combination squares or callipers. Admittedly I made some blunders along the way (I put the fence "T" on backwards).......yeah didn't read the instructions. But despite my comic bungling I actually managed to utilise my repair abilities and produce a pretty neat version of your fence. I'm very happy with the result. Thanks again.

[@randolpharends5755]

Hi John, I just finished my table saw fence and I love it. Once I finish it all I will post the pictures. Thanks for the ideas and inspiration.

[@JamesBiggar]

Looks like you just unboxed a new saw, very nice. Well done!

[@JohnHeisz]

Thanks James :)

[@socalmatt84]

Beginner woodworker here . Bought the plans and built this fence and it totally spruced up this old Rockwell contractors saw ! Love it !

[@genewilson81]

Fantastic as usual John, thank you! I learn something every new video build!

[@dawdawsd1]

I think this table saw is your finest work yet, impressive accuracy for a tool made completely without any automation

[@wolfgollnitz899]

Well engineered! Excellent craftsmanship! I really enjoyed this saw building series. Thank you and keep them coming.

[@chuckholton4666]

Extremely nice build John! Thanks for doing what you do!

[@ASousaMakesIt]

Epic build Master John! may the woodworking force be with you!

[@victorflores1359]

this and your entire workshop is amazing. I wish I had your confidence, skillset and knowledge.

[@AbouzarKaboudian]

It just shows pure craftsmanship and the level knowledge of what you do! Fabulous!

[@bigrig4385]

Awesome build plans. Thanks John! If only I had a table saw fence to precisely rip my material list 😔

[@glennworton2494]

Easily the best "homebuilt" tablesaw I've seen. "Professional" grade

[@JohnHeisz]

Thanks :)

[@garthfairfield2235]

Darn straight bro

[@scottphilips8514]

For sure, this thing looks amazing!!

[@MrRsg99]

Wow! John - THANK YOU for sharing this build. If I ever need a new fence, I’ll build this one. Keep up the great videos.

[@jhc500]

I really like the aesthetic of this saw. The size/shape/color scheme looks really great.

[@gnusndn6089]

Wow what a great table saw build, and fence. Years ago I built that same style fence out of steel for my saw it is one of the best additions to my saw I have ever made. I really appreciate these videos you've made of this saw. God has given you a great ability to build stuff and instruct it, with clarity . The addition of that measuring tape strip you put on the saw is great, however as a creature of habit of an old carpenter I still use the measure fence to Blade method. Please keep on building and talking about stuff I really like it. Thank you

[@zachariahzeilman1978]

I just bought the plans for the fence system... and I have to say, John Heisz, you sir know how to make some detailed ass plans💯 so easy to follow and build. 5 stars on my end. Keep doing your thing my dude your one of the only people on KZbin I actually look forward to having new videos drop

[@JustinDepew]

I approve of this fence design. Been using it for years on my old craftsman table saw!

[@Assimilator702]

Justin Depew Do you use the same design for the rails? I also have a Craftsman and the fence is the weakest link in an otherwise great saw.

[@JustinDepew]

@@Assimilator702 yes I used the rail like shown in the video and plans

[@FredMcIntyre]

Amazing job on the fence and table saw John, and as usual your video is enjoyable, informative, and pleasing to watch! Well done all around! 😃👌🏻👍🏻👊🏻

[@moneycounsel6619]

Thanks so much. Years ago, I traded a bit of carpentry for an old Rockwell Beaver saw. It didn't come with a fence and I have been using a 2x4 with a couple C-clamps for years! Made a few modifications to your design and now I have a piece of furniture to make furniture.

[@groobus]

The different materials complement the killer design. The addition of the fence brought it together. Beautiful work

[@talltimberswoodshop7552]

I like it, John. You've done a great job showing us old hackers how to innovate using your great skill at fabrication. That is a great table saw that will be the center of attention in your videos for a long time.

[@seansysig]

John this build is gorgeous. I'm so impressed with the accuracy of the cut thickness. The alignment of the blade, trunion, and bearing surfaces are impressive. $4,500 labor of love!

[@comfortablyplumb2140]

I made your fence about 6 months ago and still love it! I decided to replace some parts with 3/4" but still, great design. Easily locks in place and glides across the table with ease!

[@TheDIYer]

im loving it,especially how smooth it glides ,just perfect

[@63256325N]

Excellent build, as well as a very well edited series of videos. Thanks! 👍

[@unfoldingcreative]

Love that you can see the IBuildIt logo through the spinning blade. Top notch looks and execution, sir.

[@davidcollier6180]

Great video John and yet again with one off you videos give me loads off inspiration and things I can add to my build 👍🏻

[@joshk7051]

I LOVE how clean your shop is.

[@AquaPeet]

I just love how you put things together so meticulously and as perfectly aligned as you can so that it becomes as precise as the used materials can possibly perform. Take care of this baby and I hope it'll serve you many years to come and that it remains a joy to work with! Thanks for sharing!

[@tjacksonwoodworker3726]

great job. A awesome job on the Table Saw and fence build.

[@noeffnwaypal]

Great job John! You skills are extremely impressive!

[@veepsgarage]

I was using my old craftsman 1950s table saw and I really need to get this fence build. I bought the plans months ago.

[@macroneus]

Excellent table saw John, I will be buying the plans for this and your other designs when my workshop build is complete.

[@nathanjones6071]

Great Videos. Just found your stuff and becoming increasingly obsessed. Thanks so much for your content creation.

[@garrymeads8441]

I had seen this video a while ago thinking that it would be neat project to try but had my doubts about how solid and accurate it would be. Well my fence on my saw broke and I thought I would give it a try..........plans were very good and the result.........very impressed with the design and performance of this fence. John....you have done a great job on this and I want to commend you on your plans as they were very well done!

[@jerrystark6766]

Excellent design & execution. Thanks!

[@Kurt_Lechner]

Congratulations! This saw is my favorite.

[@cangooner]

Not sure how I missed this for so long, but I've just bought the plans and am *very* much looking forward to replacing the garbage fence on my saw. Thanks!

the table saw turned out really nice! I wish I had the time, patience and skill to pull that off. maybe later on in life when the nest is empty. keep up the good work!

[@Dickie2702]

John you are a complete genius. I absolutely love your videos, as a furniture maker I could never find the time to make tools for my workshop but I love to see you push the boundaries or what is possible with a few bits of plywood and a healthy dose of ingenuity. Sir, you are truly talented. Would absolutely love to see you make a drum sander, you wouldn't be the 1st but I bet it would be an awesome project to watch and I know your approach would be unique. It's the only tool I have ever attempted to build myself and I didn't get past buying a motor and some bearings.

[@RyanMonty]

I just built one myself...pain in the ass 😂

[@tonylawrence9157]

Thank you, John. Nothing to it if I could have you around as well; Just cut up lots of bits of wood very accurately, line them up, then glue and screw everything together with great precision, and the product is worth every bit of the effort. You have done your part well. I'll see what I can do. Wish you well. Subscribed. Australia.

The temporary table saw did it's job ok, but it's really satisfying to see the new one in action. Everything looks great, and man does that thing make a satisfying whir.

[@brian-hall]

I have the Triton TWX7CS001 Contractors Saw in their portable TWX7 Workcentre as I need to be able to fold the saw up out of the way in my minuscule workshop but the fence on it is absolute garbage. It has to be adjusted from both ends of the saw and uses 4 clamps to hold it in place, all of which make it very prone to errors & slow to use. So I have just completed building John's fence from his plans and it is absolutely brilliant. It actually make the saw finally usable. Thanks John.

[@brianreynolds9446]

I also experience the same pain with my Triton Workcentre 2000. I think I'm going to attempt to make one as well...

[@johnschotz1614]

As always. A very very good build.

[@Jarrettmonty99]

Been using this for a couple days and finally got around to fine-tuning it. Love it! Using about a 20 yr old Delta ShopMaster hand me down and the rip fence for it was terrible. Would have to break out the calipers and align it to the miter slots every single time I adjusted it. I've made a good few cuts that my 1 thou resoution calipers measure the same on both ends

[@ericlyons6251]

Curious, all in what did the fence cost to make?

@@ericlyons6251 3/4” plywood is about $65 a sheet.
