I have been doing woodworking and using a table saw for 71 years but in every one of your videos I find useful information. Sometimes it is new informtion and sometimes it is just a reminder of something I already knew but it is always useful. And I still have all eight fingers and two thumbs and all ten are still their original length.

I so enjoy these tutorials. I am still learning, and I love having someone take the time to explain things in a straight forward fashion. James, you do NOT talk down to me, or others. You give lots of information, and frequently give seemingly simple info that many woodworkers who did not grow up with a Dad or mentor who was handy just don't know! Please keep up this kind of video. You give me info I need without treating me like an idiot!

I have been around carpentry for many years, but just recently around some cabinet construction. So having a bunch of tools not as available in framing or making things that really didn’t require a joiner, planer or a table saw I found myself with a new table saw. Some terminology and things foreign to me. Your videos are super and clarified a lot of question rolling around in my head. Thank you for taking the time to explain the workings of the table saw and the safety tips. Now I feel more confident to not feel too confident in finishing my cabinet making. Thank you very much!

The final video lived up to the preceding 4 in giving great advice on safety and getting good results. My work shop is on 10' by 8' and mostly used for turning but a table saw is amongst my armoury and is used. If I need to have sheets cut down I always get the timber yard I buy my sheet goods from to do it, at a cost, and also leave "room" for me to finish it off. Once again a great series. Cheers, Huw

I just got a great deal on a Ryobi 10" portable Table saw attached to a meatal stand. I'm not going to be using it much, but I also wanted to keep my finger's. Thank you so much for making this so easy to understand. I just ordered the safety tools that weren't with it. This saw had only been used four times. There was almost no sawdust underneath the saw by the motor. After cleaning it up, and using Corrosion X, it really does look brand new. Thanks again. Bob

Thanks James. Very valuable series! Several years ago I bought two "single roller" pedestal stands to use as supports for my out feed. I don't recommend them to anyone now. I discovered that unless they are aligned PERFECTLY, they will actually try to pull your plywood into or away from the rip fence. My next out feed stands will have multiple roller "balls". No more rollers tubes for me.

Since James is continuing to produce valuable content for beginning woodworkers and even experienced woodworkers, his audience will continue to grow rapidly. Or at least, I hope that is the case. He is my main "go to guy" when I am researching best methods to do a bunch of things. Some of the early content creators seem to have burned out and are now "calling it in" with less and less effort in their videos or they have opted to put their focus into online schools for a subscription fee (and there is nothing wrong with that - I subscribe to a couple) but Stumpy is continuing to come up with the things we need to know. My hope is that he is doing really well financially and therefore will be motivated to continue exactly what he is doing. He is the one content creator I follow where I always watch any video he releases.

The reasons for both of your 'concerns' with other yters is because KZbin is getting worse and worse. KZbin promoted people who upload daily or even several times a day. So as a youtuber you either ditch yt and offer your content elsewhere for a small fee to still earn money. Or you produce more content to be able to upload more regularly, since woodworking takes some time by itself and then there is the whole editing, your quality will suffer, if you choose to go that way. So the blame isn't on the youtubers. A lot of them do this full time and need to earn money. And if they're not getting a huge amount of donations, they need to choose one of the 2.options currently available to be able to continue making this full time.

In 1993 I worked in a cabinet shop that used hardwood faced mdf extensively. We used a Powermatic 66 with a Biesemeyer fence. The owner had the table saw set into a roughly 10 by 12 foot table that allowed much easier breakdown of sheet goods. It was still quite a chore.

Thanks James, some good safety reminders. I keep an 80 tooth blade in the shop that is only used for sheet work, it produces wonderful clean edges no matter the orientation of the surface grain. Several years ago, I made two edge guides (full sheet and half sheet) out of some scrap OSB so I could accurately break large sheets down before working them on the table saw. The saw guide is positioned so that each of my favourite circular saws has its own edge. Works well and cost nothing. My shop rule is if it is difficult or unwieldy to handle, stop and rethink the process. Safety cannot be practiced retroactively. Thanks for sharing, this is an awesome place to learn.

Getting a track saw changed my life. I originally did it when I lost shop space to fit a table saw. But even after solving that problem, I still find that the track saw is a huge improvement to how I work. First off, it generally allows a single person to easily break down a 4'x8' sheet of plywood without struggling, and is better than anything I've seen short of a sliding table saw. There's no need for rough cuts, as a good track saw with the right blade will produce accurate finish quality cuts every time. But what really surprised me is how much more efficient a track saw is than using a table saw. Admittedly the projects I do rarely require cutting a lot of pieces to the same dimension, where setting a table saw fence or sled up once would enable repeated efficient cuts. For one off cuts, I lay out my cut on the plywood, slap down the track, and cut. No clamping required, no worries about muscling a large panel onto the table saw and keeping tight against the fence. It's enabled me to be much faster in my work. And now that I'm an old fart (and getting more so every day), I appreciate the reduced physical effort required.

Thanks for this series. It’s quite a lot to think about. It was well presented and seemed quit comprehensive. I have subbed and hope to learn more. I’m nearing retirement age and recently bought a pedestal table saw, 10in compound miter saw, and floor standing drill press (all used) that I plan to spend a lot of time with in the future. I have some experience, but my tools were limited to hand held models previously. The table saw is the most intimidating by far, and I spent some time cleaning, lubing, and adjusting it just to get a good idea of how it works and what it’s quirks may be. Recently, during a rip cut on 3/4 plywood I let the off cut get away from me and it climbed on top of the blade, shot past me and dented a tool box. That’s how I got here watching videos. I play guitar and would like to keep all my digits and hope to do some quality work. One question I have concerns being left handed, I assume your examples in the videos are from a right hand perspective and some seem a little awkward to me. My saw blade pivots to the left and I tend to stand to right of the blade’s plane of rotation if I have a choice. Are there any strategies or accessories for us “wrong handed” folks? Thanks again for the great video’s.

Left tilt or right tilt, it's pretty much the same, just reversed. Stand to the opposite side of the blade as the fence is on. The tilt direction really doesn't come into play unless you're cutting edge bevels. I recommend you watch all the episodes in this table saw series (see the links int he description below this video), as well as our "kickback" video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpebh4qtqcaomrc

All I have is a small jobsites table saw so it's next to impossible to cut sheet goods accurately. Best tool purchase I've made in years was a track saw. I can get cleaner cuts than the factory edge. Next to zero tear out on even 1/8 in plywood cutting against the grain. I originally bought it because we had a huge remodel and there were about 50 doors that needed the bottoms trimmed. That track saw literally paid for itself before lunch the first day with the amount of time it saved me vs using my circular saw and a straight edge. And the best part is, I can break it down and throw it in my back seat every day.

I’ve enjoyed this series on one of my favorite tools. Again even after 35 or so years using the table saw I still picked up tips. Thanks. BTW in my opinion. I never attempt to cut large or full sheets of plywood. I even use my circular saw and a clamped straightedge to reduce the size piece or for cabinet boxes to the actual size needed. That’s just me. I can maintain full control over my work pieces. It would be nice to have a table saw with in feed and out feed tables and side support to cut a full sheet but I’d still need help getting it up there. I’ll stick to circular saw then table saw. BTW Again. I get a kick out of your channel name. Makes me think of a carpenter with missing tips of your digits 😂😂😂 not really funny but you apparently have all your digits in tact. Maybe just short fingers. Keep up the great work, you’re an excellent instructor!!!! Takes a lot for me to recognize that but you definitely have it. Good day.

I rip or cross cut plywood with a straight edge and a circular saw on a sheet of foam to insulation board to rough working size pieces. Then move to the table saw to the true panel to final dimensions. I also tend to use a sled which makes things glide thru the blade with ease. On fine veneer I often use a razor knife on the layout line and use a zero clearance inset in the table top to minimize tear out on the underside. If my shop was more than a garage I would have out feed tables on three sides.

In my case it is off the truck, through the garage, into the house man-door, then down the stairs, turn 90 degrees in the hallway and finally through the shop door. My shop is in the basement and carrying anything more than 1/2" sheet of 4x8 is near impossible without another person. Even 1/2" is a royal PITA. So, I have to breakdown my large sheets in the garage... usually the first cut, before it goes down and to the table saw.

Thank you that was very helpful! I just bought a 80 tooth blade to cut plywood as I had some serious tearout with my 40 tooth blade - good to know I made the right choice before I change blades!

I love that cart that allows you to go from the truck to table saw. That should be in every ones shop that cuts up plywood on regular basis. I have also seen this clamp like thing that grabs the top of the sheet. That way if need be you could handle the sheet goods with one hand making it a lot less awkward.

Thank you for the table saw series new to wood working and to be honest tablesaw is intimidating and yes I am/was the one who looked at the blade. I found lots of tips and knowledge I was missing.

Alwase good info here. Thought I'd mention using some painter's tape on your cut line can also limit the tear out on the top veneer. A good blade, and painter's tape, will produce a sweet clean cut. Just throwing it out there.

Truly excellent video to this classic series! I have a DW745. It's a good saw if you have a 10x13 workshop One of the problems with it is short infeed space. Your video prompted me to think about infeed solutions. Not for plywood, but for any longer pieces or for sleds. I break down plywood with a tracksaw. Also, thanks for the info in the comments below on the negative tooth blade being used on the table saw for fine cuts. This means I can swap out an 80-tooth blade between my table and miter saw. I'm only buying Ridge Carbide blades in the future and will buy them thru your site

Hi, thanks for the great videos. I recently bought an old contractor saw (Delta 34-410 knock off) because ripping sheets of plywood was basically impossible on my itty bitty saw. Most of my work needs rectangles with sides between 14 and 26 inches long made from 15mm Baltic Birch with the odd 48" panel. With your help, I have set up the saw and learned that I was using my miter gauge wrong. which explains the all missles my old saw fired past me. I think I will probably upgrade my blade as well. The new saw has a 60T general-purpose DeWalt on it right now. I might have an old 80T Freud Diablo kicking around that I used to use for cutting moldings in my chop saw...but I'm thinking that maybe I should just bite the bullet and put one your recommended blades on this saw, so that I can just leave it there and cut panels for years without worry. Anyhow, mostly writing to let you know that the 80T blade link in your description no longer works but also wanted to thank you.

Haha James..I've learned all these issues the hard way. I'm actually pretty good at it now days, but I did damage more than my fair share of plywood learning how. It's one of the reasons my bench is right behind the saw..

There is nothing better for breaking down full sized sheets of plywood than a track saw. Happens to work out well for me because I don't have room for a full sized table saw anyway.

I was requiring some guidance/assurance about cutting some sheet material with some mitre joints at the top of a carcase construction I am involved with when I came across your videos about the circular saws. I found them very informative and helpful, even though I've been using a circular saw for some years. I guess every day is a school day and everybody can learn something new. I also couldn't help notice your delivery and explanation was much more professional and greatly improved from your earlier videos. Not that the earlier ones weren't instructional, but in these ones the information was to the point, well researched, extremely well delivered, and your timing and pace of information is excellent. Thanks for the assistance, I'll look in again.

Good tutorial. I can't say how many times I've seen professionals cross cut plywood where the length is shorter than the distance to the blade. I wish they would follow the safety procedures.
