sliding table

[@pauljarrell8162]

This is without a doubt, the best DIY sliding table saw I’ve seen

[@bradleytuckwell4881]

Got to be the best slide table build I’ve seen and putting your rails on top instead of the bottom takes the sting out of trying to line up your guides. Well done glade I found your channel and yes I wish you’d pressed play and filmed it I think it would have cracked well over a mil in views and counting

[@davidsavage2650]

I was just breaking down Make Something’s video on his slider. So glad this popped up. Glad to have more ideas. Yes to the dust collector video please.

[@acanadianwoodworker]

3:58 I recently made a sliding table saw and did this exact same thing (rails on top). Yeah it would be such a pain to mount the slide blocks on top penetrating the table surface. Added bonus is the rails help to further stiffen the sliding top

[@saxus]

TBH your slider makes much more sense and actually that table saw is getting closer to what a real sliding table saw is about. Those kind of sliders what are presented in this video is completely miss the whole point of the sliders.

[@bobmcarthur4150]

Light bulb moment. I didn't think about reversing the mounting position of the rails. I'm glad you did! thanks

[@bcboncs]

I think this is the best sliding miter saw and fence I've seen. I wish there was a build video I'm not quite grasping areas of explanation on the slide. One thing that would improve the fence is making it extendable with a flip down platform. My personal preference would be to make both pieces less wide with extendability on the fence. This is great as-is for folks who have the spacial luxury but many people don't.

[@brendonoliver4483]

Would love a build video... this is outstanding

[@henrymostert2125]

That was extremely well done and will explain thank you for sharing. I've been contemplating making something similar to this for the last number of years. Maybe y on a smaller scale

[@stevedockery3534]

What an awesome job my friend. I sooo wish I could see this up close. Just so I could really picture the under side of roller table mechanism. Would love to see pics of under side. Again, very great job and also well built. Steve

[@peterg902]

Fantastic. Perhaps after some use or with version 2, you could take it apart and reassemble to better show how its put together. Very good.

[@Supermachoo1]

This is interesting! Take 99% from me to you for your brilliant considerations and positioning of the rails and other accessories. Your design solution is on point. Lately, I have adjusted several designs in an effort to make efficient use of my garage with a new Dewalt7492. Taking a cue from your setup I can comfortably use my HONGDUI HD-HD1 Mitre Gauge (The mitre set is better for cabinet saws; not small table saws). I had thought to keep my mitre gauge for angle cuts only due to its hefty fence but now I see more use for it. Though I would keep the entire table within 1.4M by 1.1M I will still have more than 600mm infeed. On second thought the movable carriage takes more space. All the same thanks. . .back to my 3D.

[@tonydavis6487]

Definitely a really good idea man. Just a suggestion but you might want to just remake it and film it to help grow your channel. A build video would definitely blow up. Nice work!

[@andyrogers8759]

Great job! You put a lot of thought into this sliding table. Thanks for sharing.

[@danewert2306]

Very nice design 👍 Thanks for sharing 😊

[@ajs96350]

Thank you for posting this, I've been doing research into a slider and I may just do this instead.

[@Obtuse94]

I assume the angle iron is to keep the surface as flat as possible? Also, I see the screws in it, but feel dumb that I can't understand how it is attached, especially thinking how the screws holding the iron on aren't popping through the top.

[@MakeSomething]

fantastic design!

[@Wood_Slice]

Superb design and work. Keep it up and post more

[@nailbanger2]

I imagine I'll be seeing some copies pop up here and there in the coming months. Damn sure cheaper than a Felder! Nice going, makes me have tool envy.

[@krahnscarpentershop]

Yeah I will have some more details on my Instagram. And yes it's whole lot cheaper than buying one and I think this is better

[@russellseaton2014]

@@krahnscarpentershop I would argue vociferously with your "better" comment. Your table is 16 inches away from the blade. Not beside it like the Felder and other commercial sliding tables. Do you have the ability to clamp boards to the slider to get a straight line rip on a board edge. I am not criticizing your table. It looks good for cross cutting large sheets of plywood or cross cutting long, heavy boards. But it is very lacking in its ability to make other cuts a professional sliding table can make.

[@krahnscarpentershop]

@@russellseaton2014 yeah I just made it for my needs. I don't know what other woodworkers need it for but this works good for me. I do a lot of cabinet doors so it's perfect for me and I guess if you need clamping ability just add that on. It's always possible to add more things to it

[@EmmaAbodie]

This is perfect and no douth of this sliding table💪💪💪💪👏👏👏👏👏

[@fransiscoalvarezinski6293]

Nice job. You are a good designer.

[@krahnscarpentershop]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@arlineastman]

I sure wish you lived close to me so you could help me and the other disabled vets I teach make one for us.

[@mikeoxmaul3849]

You need to rebuild another one and send it to me and film it so everybody else can see how you built it 😂😅😂😅

[@rev1731]

Excellent although a miter cut demonstration would be helpful .. I am concerned about the length of the miter gauge fence and the distance from the pivot point and potential deflection and accuracy of the cut.

[@woodxj]

That is super cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@rvamerongen]

Hi, very nice build. One question about the bearing wheels/balls. I could not find these bigger ones. Just very small ones. What size are those? Keep thhe videos coming!!

[@RandallSchwartz-os1bd]

Very nice and clean work

[@wetdog440]

Great design. I copied most of what you did, but I'm really struggling to get this lined up and cutting square. Got any tips ?

[@juliosampaio5740]

Great job! Congrats!

[@Otto-W]

My lineal rails came this week. I'm going to give it a go.

[@RayZde]

How did it go, I'm thinking about doing the same.

[@Otto-W]

@@RayZde I'm currently moving things around in my shop before I start the build. I have a garage shop and I am rotating my table saw 45° to maximize the ripping capacity. I was around 8.5' but now I can comfortably do 11. I remade my out feed table this weekend but it's slow going, I have a lot of yard work projects going on.

[@RayZde]

Yeah my projects span years 😂 this has been on my list for a long time. Good luck!

[@carlstrohm3785]

I've had a big person on this, laying...he's not as big anymore for some reason though 😉 I don't have the space but I like the idea. Well done sir.

[@michellebwilson2610]

Really nice design

[@johnyb.diamond558]

Please have plan.. Im buying.

[@johnbies7041]

What is the size of your shop .. I REALY like your video on the table saw slide.. I want to see how you made your dust collection

[@mikkkydi]

Nice one! Good job man!

[@namlongfurniture]

Can you make videos on cutting large mdf boards?. size 1m22 x 2m44. Thank you!

[@nakamunbob]

Beauty! It look like the slider in 8 ft, right? Are the rails the same length or shorter??

[@msk3905]

Love it unfortunately I don’t have this kind of space to play with to do something like it and I wonder over time if sawdust causes any issues with wheels

[@krahnscarpentershop]

I can always just grab the air hose and just blow the sawdust out if need be

[@trevorjarvis3050]

@@krahnscarpentershophey man, can you take a minute and tell me about that beautiful building? Who was the builder or manufacturer? Dimensions, ceiling height? I really like the clear span , no trusses, would work great for my needs. Also, great lighting! Manufacturer and number of lights you installed. Much appreciated.

[@alessandrosuppini943]

Really nice design, have you thought about inlaying two aluminium or HDPE stripes under the two single roller ball supports to prevent the noise when sliding and also avoid the wear of rolling metal on wood that over time will make your sliding table sink out of alignment?

[@krahnscarpentershop]

That's a good idea. Hadn't thought about that but I guess that's an option

[@afbigfish1]

I was thinking a set of small good quality non swivel casters would have been better. Those roller balls are always cheap and noisy

[@AlvenBrown]

Great job

[@nickanderson8305]

I really like the improvements you've made compared to other versions iv seen like this. Would like to see how you calibrated your fence. That's been my biggest hang up in making my own version Just seems like a removable fence like that would be a bitch to make square

[@krahnscarpentershop]

Okay sounds good. I will have some details of calibrating the fence on my Instagram coming up shortly

[@afbigfish1]

It doesnt look like there is enough forward travel to push the fence (like you would still have a couple inches of uncut) to the blade perhaps its just the angle of the video.

[@JimMesser-l9w]

Great walkthrough of an excellent build. One question: what would you have to adjust in order to get more travel forward?

[@krahnscarpentershop]

If you need more forward travel, just mount the mounting blocks a few inches further in it would work perfectly

[@schwartzmatthewe]

You are a genius, my friend.

[@chetleonard169]

make some wooden ' cups' for those leveling carriage bolts to sit in, before they damage your concrete.

[@krahnscarpentershop]

Good idea!

[@geniussavant]

Thanks for the walkthrough, looks really well made. I noticed some angle iron underneath. That just adds some stiffness to the whole thing?

[@krahnscarpentershop]

Oh sorry I probably forgot to talk about that. Yes, that's a must-have that makes it really sturdy.

[@rickculpepper709]

Dude great stuff

[@JWick-hz6yt]

Very nice !

[@stevehirst2575]

Fkn awesome champ got any plans available to build this weapon🤘

[@krahnscarpentershop]

Thank you. No I don't have plans I don't know how to make them

[@matthewson1000]

Very nice build man!

[@Joew99001]

Oh, for that space.

[@griinder]

Really cool! Are you able to get a really square crosscut all the time, or is there enough play in the linear slides that you kinda have to hold it in a sweet spot or something?

[@krahnscarpentershop]

The linear slides have zero play I guess if you would mount the mounting blocks to close together you could have some play

[@GaryKnibbs]

very nice

[@JamesPetzke]

What are the dimensions of the sliding table? And I don't see a link to the bar that you inlayed to put the miter gauge in, where did you get that?

[@krahnscarpentershop]

The sliding table dimensions are 2ft wide and 8ft long, I had the bar but you could just search it up on Amazon I'm not sure what they're called exactly, maybe a miter rail

[@nicolamullings7993]

Why not just buy one and use the time spent making one to make something....

[@krahnscarpentershop]

Too expensive and they don't work like this one does

[@saxus]

TBH you completely missed a lot of key aspect why a sliding table saw is good. You will never achieve those features with a cabinet saw. Still hard to replace the blade, the fence is still not as accurate, you can't narrower strips with proper support, can't have a precutter, and I'm pretty sure that this setup is taking up way more space than a proper sliding table saw. The very big space on on the left of the blade is just an annoying thing on cabinet saws. Also can't have the opportunity to clamp anything to the slider, like ripping an unplaned timber (which would be unsafe otherwise), or you need your jig to do a small angled cut into something. Yeah, you can make jigs for everything, but thats just wasted time instead of actual work. Yeah, those saws doesn't have any fancy blade stopping technology, but seriously, your fingers will be nowhere near to the blade. In the past I was a bit sad that there aren't any saws in Europe with SawStop technology except the super expensive Festool one, but now... I wouldn't buy a SawStop anyway.
