Specialty Table Saw Blades

It’s always a good day when Mike Farrington releases a new!

[@CorwinBos]

The dry dad humor is why Im here!

[@MikeFarrington]

Ha! Thank you.

[@Subsonic-cd2en]

Wow, I'm an extremely experienced woodworker and almost never find any tips in youtube videos that are both A. Helpful and B. I didn't already know. This video had several tips that met both criteria! Nice!

[@MikeFarrington]

I take that as a very high compliment.

[@mark_leonardjackson]

I think the only thing I don't like about the experience/ knowledge I've gained over the years is that there are fewer and fewer books/ videos with information I haven't already come across or practiced- Mike always seems to deliver though!

Dear sir. Your showing all of my classic old school tools. They are all still in fine shape and perform well. My Unisaw is a 1992 and all of my other Delta equipment is USA made. 🇺🇸 Treat your equipment well and keep it clean and properly lubricated and it will last forever with only basic wear parts needing replacement. Thank you for your service to the community.

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you very much.

As you may have noticed from the flurry of comments from me spanning videos from your entire body of work, I am a new subscriber who has done nothing but binge watch Mike Farrington videos this entire weekend. I'm now reduced to waiting for new releases. But nonetheless, I celebrate your entire catalogue.

[@mattelias721]

Not vomitous, Mike. Seriously, this is THE best tip/product content I've seen in 4 years for table saws - you honestly didn't recycle anything from the eleventy-million other videos out there. I'm going to tag this with 'watch later' for both tips and products... the information packed in here is so dense, it warps spacetime. Also, flat bottom grooves... they make the rockin' world go round. Question: why do you stamp your name in your blades?

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you very much. I'm trying to stay original, its not easy. I don't do the stamping, thats the sharpener doing that.

[@copperhead228]

It always surprises me how many things can be done with/ on the table saw. The table saw is still one of those tools that intimidate me. No matter how many times I use one.

[@MikeFarrington]

The table saw can do a ton, that is for sure.

[@orrinkelso9295]

My dad used the cheaper/older version of the table saw molder all the time. He would even grind his own custom shapes. But they can be dangerous. He was doing a custom shape and went to lunch. His shop helper decided to "help" and finish up some of the molding he was making. It did not end well. Reconstructive hand surgery and months of healing was the result. Thanks for the informative video.

[@MikeFarrington]

Table saws are powerful tools, they can get a lot of work done, but they sure can cause a lot of damage when things go wrong.

[@jccbsl1]

Wow. A video so informative that it makes up for much of the time wasted watching boring and less-than-useful YT videos. Thanks!

[@bobbray9666]

I have a 1/4" HP power feeder attached to my table saw via four Magswitches. Best tool investment I've made. Only once have I had an issue ripping without a riving knife. No kick back with the power feeder but I did burn hard maple when the power feeder couldn't push the piece when the maple bound together at the end, so I stuck a shim in the end of the piece and continued on. My rips are very consistent by not needing to stop in the middle of a long rip to adjust my hands, which often leaves a mark on the edge. By keeping your hands away from the blade using a power feeder adds huge level of safety, IMO. Also way less fatiguing when ripping many pieces. I would have gotten a 1/2 HP feeder for more power for long 8/4 material, but I'd need more powerful Magswitches (already have over 2600 hold down pounds) and it would be too heavy to move.

[@MikeFarrington]

I have shown similar results in a couple other videos. A table saw and powerfeeder are like shoes and socks. Also, try an 18 tooth blade when dealing with maple, burning will be greatly reduced.

[@bobbray9666]

@@MikeFarrington Yes! I just bought the 18 tooth blade you recommended. It's a beast.

[@agoogleuser1594]

Glad to see the 7 1/4 blade. I was looking at prices to get my 10 inch blades sharpened and realized I could by a 7 1/4 for less. For someone who works with sheet goods a lot it's a great option.

[@MikeFarrington]

They work surprisingly well on a table saw.

[@woodrowsmith3400]

I am a semi-retired flooring installer, and while I still look at it with distain, have a healthy respect for my main tool, an 8 1/2" DeWalt jobsite saw. A lot of what I do involves making cuts to wrap around doors, pillars, floor mount HVAC vents, etc. A lot of what I do is freehand...no miter gauge or fence...because many cuts are out of square or just plain weird. I advised my boss that 7 1/4" blades could be had for half the price of the 8 1/2" blades, because of the specialty size. They will also flex a little, which is desirable in my case for making long wavy rip cuts to match a wall. A 40 tooth 7 1/4" blade cuts as nicely as a 10" 60 tooth does...if you consider the math ((C=πr squared). Warning: I am a trained professional. Don't try this at home😉

[@MikeFarrington]

@@woodrowsmith3400 Ive watched the flooring guys do exactly what you are describing. As long as you're careful its not too bad.

The 7 1/4” blade in a table saw is genius. Never would have thought to do it.

[@MikeFarrington]

Its a great trick that is super cheap.

[@monteglover4133]

Thank You Small note the Craftsman came in a single and triple cutter if a custom cutter is needed the single cutter is easier to make. I’ve used the Craftsman sets for years with good results, a hold down makes consistent cuts easier. New cutters are still available for Craftsmen, Delta, and others from Corob Cutters. These cutters make a scary sound when running.

[@MikeFarrington]

Great info. Yeah, the fact that cutters can still be bought is totally great.

[@crashkg]

Your timing is impeccable, I was just purchasing some new blades this week. I'm going to add the Double Taper sanding disc. Thanks for your content, it is always entertaining and informative.

[@MikeFarrington]

I have used, only once, a wobble blade in a drill-driven circular saw. It worked but I felt a little ill at ease using it. I was only abut 20 and it was cheap option for grooving. I bought a Stanley combination plane soon after.

[@MikePowersTSIG]

I love my 18t rip blade. I've been thinking about the CMT set. And I have a brand new molding in the old Dewalt variant. I can also vouch for the truly sketchy wobble dado. 1986. A Tuesday morning just before break time. Working by myself. I had a serious accident. The wobble definitely adds to the kick back potential, and the more it's maxed out, the worse it gets.

[@MikeFarrington]

Agreed, when that sucker is at max width, be careful for sure.

[@MikePowersTSIG]

@@MikeFarrington some actual safety training would have helped as well 🤣

[@woodrowsmith3400]

1989. 3/4" cut. Wobble kicked the workpiece out and left index finger got shredded. 8 1/2 hrs later with a finger/hand specialist and the finger is 98% as good as new. The blade was never mounted in a saw again and hangs at the back of my shop in my sight line to the offcut end of my saw. Every time I turn the saw on, I look up and see that acursed wobble blade. I slow down. Take a breath. Think if how I am approaching the cut is the best and safest way. Orthopedic bill was $32,000...by the way.

[@MikeFarrington]

@@woodrowsmith3400 That doesn't sound fun, but thank you for sharing. 32k in todays dollars is probably about 2 billion.

[@configuremakeinstall]

I ordered the 18 tooth rip. Wow. Big difference compared to the 24 tooth so thank you Mike. I’ve been missing out on cleaner cuts all this time.

[@BishjamIC]

Your theory on the wobble dado is humorous. Though I have a book from 1911 'The A.B.C. of woodworking' by Charles G. Wheeler. It actually suggests cutting your own wedges to create a wobble dado blade. The commercial version would likely be actually safer than a shop made wedge which may explode and frankly looks like a terrifying idea even as an illustration in a book.

[@MikeFarrington]

I should give that a try and do a video on it. Of course I'll be wearing a helmet and armor.

[@dodogreen5180]

[@mchilly]

So much great information here! The double blade for cutting tenons is awesome. I need to get some of those magnetic shims, too. It’s more than a chore to get my dado blade off especially with the supplied shims.

[@AnthonyStabler]

A slight smear of Vasoline will hold your shims in place

[@scottspropertyservices6877]

Have you thought about using the blue aluminium oxide sand paper for the “mighty double taper sanding disc”? It was an absolute game changing swap out for my double headed drum sander! Seems to take more heat as it doesn’t get any burn lines & lasts way longer. I can only imagine you did the hard yards to finalise on the one you did

[@MikeFarrington]

@@scottspropertyservices6877 Interesting. I found the opposite. Though my disc is spinning at a much higher rate of speed. Oddly enough, behind the scenes, I'll be testing some new paper in the next month or so.

[@travisgeringer7904]

Great video, Mike! I think a big reason that CMT made their box joint blades only 8" diameter is likely for compatibility with with SawStop saws. The dado break cartridge can then be used with it effectively.

The Delta moulder head is definetly illegal to use in the EU when hand feeding, any cutter for hand feeding needs to have a chip limiter to 1.1mm. But tools like that are still used in automatic tenoners, four-sided planers, CnC machines etc. becouse in those applications there is no need for a chip limiter. Besides that great video, Never seen anything like the Modulus before super interesting!

[@kz.irudimen]

CMT also sells grooving blades individually, in multiple sizes. I have 2 for my tiny dewalt jobsite saw. IMO they are a great alternative to dado stacks here in Europe, and they're pretty cheap too. I think they're around ~25€ each, I got the 150mm 3mm and 6mm versions.

[@MikeFarrington]

Good info. I guess I didn’t dig deep enough to find the singles.

[@robbie6625]

I assume 150 mm was a typo? That seems like a crazy wide blade.

@@robbie6625 I assumed that was diameter or 15mm if it was meant for width.

[@kz.irudimen]

@@robbie6625 It's the diameter yes, they have multiple thicknesses, I use 3 and 6mm. It's a small blade but for joinery I don't usually need to make very high cuts, it's more useful to have a wider blade and a flat cut.

Long time no see professor Farrington. Do you know if these blades (besides dado, I know they won’t) work on a portable contractor saw? Like the CMT thick kerf for example?

All of them will work on a saw that can spin a dado stack. The molder head would probably require a couple smaller passes.
