New Parkside PTKS 2000 H5 table saw: unboxing, assembly & review

[@aras_mileska]

thanks for the review!

[@keesfilius2966]

Hi, in your last answer you wrote that the tablesaw gave up after two weeks. Were you able to repair it or is it definitely the end of the story? Then it is not a good buy 🙁 If you still have the tablesaw, could you please mention the dimensions of the base cabinet, I want to build the saw into my workbench. Thanks for the effort!

My Rigid does a pretty good job of staying square, but now that I say that, it will probably be off! Great Review!

[@rarecraftsman]

Thank you man! The old fence works really well so I hope that I'm not going to have to spend any more money 😅

[@malk1275]

Looks ok thanks for the review 👍👍

[@rarecraftsman]

That's the first one I've ever made! I promise to get better at it :D Thank you!

[@Tom-zt7jh]

Thank you for your video

[@rarecraftsman]

Glad you like it!

[@WeekendShedHead]

Just subd., I’ll watch this vid later today.. big thanks for advice, cheers Rob

[@rarecraftsman]

Thanks man. At that price point we can’t expect miracles but I’ve recently made some old English oak coasters and it did well. With some adjustments you can make some precise cuts 💪 I’ll go through your channel as soon as I’ll get home as it seems like you have some really good quality stuff there.

[@WedoweeHandyman]

Like most all lower end saws you have to check check and double check the cut. Wondering what you your going to repurpose wobbly fence into whatever it will no double be tricked out with LEDs

[@rarecraftsman]

Haha for now it is stored away waiting for its turn. I don't think Parkside brand exist in the USA but it is only a label so I bet you guys have an identical item made by Grizzlytools under a completely different name. Checks I've done here should relate to other table saws as well.

[@MJLWoodWorks]

I like the added left and right wing supports, and the dual speed! I never seen that before on any saw. Its a great idea if it helps to keep everything level. I am surprised at the price.. how was the 45 bevel? That miter gauge was a real piece of poo! Watch that kick back with the little fence from your old saw.... Does the old fence have another piece that connects to it?

[@rarecraftsman]

Ha thanks man. I've got this piece thrown back as the riving knife is slightly off. I'll get it corrected with time. I'll keep you updated on how my little Parkside table saw will perform with time 😉

Hi. Very much enjoyed your review. Wonder if you could answer a question, please. The centre section of the table - is it an aluminium plate or, tin like the sides? Many thanks.

[@rarecraftsman]

No problem at all. Centre section was tin and the blade insert was a simple plastic. Unfortunately the table saw gave up on me after 2 weeks 😒

[@SteveBainton-Smith]

Many thanks for your reply. Think I will repair my old one - I like its solid aluminium top. Regards.​@@rarecraftsman

[@rubikscubefr2424]

Do you have the reference of the guide used to replace the original one that is not working well?

[@rarecraftsman]

Hi. I’ve replaced it with a guide from evolution fury 5. Hope this helps

[@arthurheijmen9517]

I have the same one, but I can't get my saw blade all the way down. approximately 1.5 millimeters above the table top. Can this also be configured???

[@rarecraftsman]

There should be a bolt and a set of cogs below your table. Possibly adjusting these will allow for a blade to go all the way down. Unfortunately my table saw has given up after 2 weeks which is a shame. My current recommendation is that if there is anything wrong with your saw take it back to the shop and ask for a replacement. Important feature such as blade lift mechanism should be working without tweaking. I hope this helps. All the best
