Of course lyrically it will always remain relevant. Great video, gotta go now and listen to Vivid again!

GREAT video with tips. Great for anyone with a cabinet level saw. I have a similar setup. I first started using the Excalibur sliding attachment maybe 25 years ago. I had it attached to a PM 66 for years, then added a Uni to it. But a couple years ago I replaced the 66 with an older Oliver (quite a bit heavier saw, running a 14" blade) I did most of the adjustments that you made, (though not the dust collection as the Oliver base is all cast iron and does have a decent dust port, but still table saws are not the best for dust collection) but I didn't adjust the table with the blade at a 45! That is pretty good tip there. I'm now going to play with that. thanks.

Great content, non-vomitous! If I had dust collection AND a massive Board Room, I'd do something similar. For my 2.5-car garage/shop, I'd have to set my saws back to back... which would prevent me from giving into the temptation to saw something with BOTH saws at the same time. Also, the childish tray is a stellar idea, tbh. I love your tool/equipment content as much as your builds - I'd suggest a video on maintenance for compressors, nail guns, and the associated equipment because a pin nailer is one of those things that you wonder just how you functioned without one.

You talking through your order of operations is actually really helpful for understanding the nuance of what you are doing, but also as education for the next time one of us are doing anything similar. You delve into details that other gloss over. I have NEVER seen, read, or heard of someone checking blade alignment when the blade is at 45 degrees. Not only did you show it, you explained why and how to fix misalignment in that plane. As a thank you I will pass along a song recommendation of my own. Well, more of a band/album recommendation. Check out King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. I'd suggest Iron Lung as a song or the album Polygonwandaland to start. Just know that they are a powerhouse jam band with a deep catalog of different musical styles culminating in 25 albums since 2012. I hope you enjoy the trip down the rabbit hole.

I bought one of these, can't even cross cut a sheet of plywood, took it off now sitting in the barn getting rusty.

This one will just crosscut a sheet of plywood, with the fence in the rear setting.

Cutting a hole in a vintage Unisaw's cabinet is kinda like declawing a cat. I wouldn't do it, but if you were to adopt a cat that had been declawed I wouldn't complain.
