Table Saw Station

[@russ2986]

I got here searching for a plan to make a router table but after seeing your video I realize that it is a genius idea to make a combo table saw and router table. I have limited space in my workshop. Also subscribed to your channel and looking forward to seeing your other videos.

[@levijones6952]

Jer I have binged watched all of your videos and I am begging you to post some more! It is obvious that you have a unique and gifted mind! Keep up the good work! I will be building your table saw and fence before to long! Its so good to see young people like you building with your own hands.

[@Jabroni804]

I just came across these Jeremy. I was actually looking for ways to enhance my wood lathe and stumbled across these and watched them all. Very well thought out and executed! I admire your craftsmanship and attention to detail! Well done sir!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thank you sir!

[@davidjeromedawson]

Incredible setup. Relatively small and clean set up with most of the cost it appears as time.

[@originalhotrodder4337]

Great job Jer! I've got an old Craftsman table saw I bought new back in the early 80's. Unfortunately because of it's size and my limited space in the garage, it's been relegated to living outside (protected from the weather of course). Using your design as inspiration it will again regain it's rightful place in the garage because your table design provide's much needed storage in addition to increasing the saw's abilities. Your latest video with the drawer addition was what got this process going. BTW, I really respect how you shared the mishap so we could all benefit from your lessons learned. With your approach to projects you will go far my friend. Keep em' coming!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thank you!! I am honored to be the one who got your table saw back to work! Thank you very much. :)

[@ralphlivingston894]

Jeremy, that is just a fantastic set up. Everything is a great combination of scavenged items and important purchases (I especially like The router table lift) people might have preferences on cosmetic choices but everything is so well thought out. Just a great table/video!

[@MrGrundle]

Nice job and some great ideas! I have an old craftsman saw that I've used my whole life but it's still on the stock legs. I am in the process of building my new shop and want to move it into an integrated cabinet system. Your setup is a great jump off point to design something. Thanks for the video!

[@henrysiegertsz8204]

I don't know how old you are, but I think you are an inspiration to young woodworkers. Lovely job! I just happened to be researching for Ideas for my own XCalibur cabinet saw Router combination as a workstation, while the glue dries on the Rare Earth magnets I just installed on the table saw throat plate, to replace the securing screws.

[@kevinashby4847]

Jeremy, I know these are a couplke of years old, but I've watched your two videos on the table saw and fence a few times. I believe the work you did on the table and especially the fence are just about as professional as you can get without having a factory. GREAT work. I"m really jealous of the fence and the screw adjustment system. I might get up the courage to make one some day.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Kevin Ashby Thank you!

[@kickpublishing]

An unusual approach but I admire your ingenuity and you certainly nailed it

[@rampanttricky17]

your videos are detailed and great demonstrations of how you achieved specific goals -- the methods used are also applicable to other situations/needs.

[@choll4446]

One of the simplest and most effective systems that I've seen yet! Thank you very much!

[@heribertocandelaria2140]

jer, great vids. i started woodworking alittle bit later on in life. brings me a great sense of peace. thanks for your mind and for sharing!

[@patissanchez]

Thank you, been looking to make something like that myself. I love the idea of using the 1x's and laminating them for box joints.

[@Grizzly_Minty]

bro i really love your design and from scratch craftsmanship. keep doing what your doing.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thank you!! I will :)

[@ywjpheej1]

Thanks for making this video, Jer. I was one of the question-askers from your past videos, and I appreciate the additional detail here.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thanks. Glad you liked it!

[@TimRoyalPastortim]

I have a 2/3 completed tables station with the same saw at its heart. Agree... it's a great saw apart from the inserts, fence and lack of safety features. I added a Vega fence and micro jig splitter and leecraft makes a Good insert which I use as a template for mine. Thanks for the video! enjoyed it.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thanks. I don't have any of these issues anymore; when the motor started failing on my Craftsman, these issues convinced me to upgrade. I'm very very pleased with my new saw.

[@TimRoyalPastortim]

Yeah, have replaced the motor on mine as well. Have a 2 HP Dayton in the wings for it once I get the capacitor fixed. No bearing noise... smooth as butter, just can't replace her. Just love that art deco 50's look too! Picked her up on a curb for free!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

I was about ready to buy the new saw before the motor decided to fail, and now that I removed the motor I realized it may not actually be failing. It was an open motor, and half the vent holes were completely plugged. It was the half on the bottom, I had inspected it to see if that's what was wrong but the top ones were open (didn't think to look at the bottom). Maybe just a good cleanup and it'll be good enough to sell. Oh ya, that '50s look. That was a selling point to me when I bought mine!

[@Handleyman]

Thanks Jer. In which case you Sir, are a genius. You know what I mean. Like Doc Brown and the Flux Capacitor! No seriously. I'm just setting up my first woodworking shop so a lot of your ideas will be going into it. Cheers

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thank you! It's people like you who keep me going. I appreciate the support!

[@benbrubaker7896]

Very Cool. Good retrofit of an old table saw.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thanks.

[@atteljas]

Its always,a great pleasurento discover good diy channel. Excellent job!

[@regueroj]

Really amazing Jer, as a lot of your followers, I´m preparing my first shop, and i´m seeing a lot of your videos to get ideas for a cheap equipment on it. Thnaks a lot...

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thank you! Glad you found it useful!

[@debrarichards1014]

Very Nice young man. You should have a wonderful future in tool design and innovation.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thank you!!

[@angeltorres-ui8pq]

thank you for the nice video and the measurements.. I just retired from the Army and I'm about to try to set up a wood shop in my garage. I'm going to see if I can build something like that. Once again Thanks for sharing

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thank you! Good luck with your build!

[@johndoe9029]

In all my years anonymously surfing KZbin, I've never once commented. I must say that your attention to precision and detail have me subscribed and eagerly awaiting your next release. Your projects are of higher quality than Ron Paulk, John Heisz, and Matthias Wandel, in my opinion. If I had to venture a guess as to your occupation I'd say engineer or machinist - especially due to your use of a drafting pencil and your choice of tape measure. I hope these words give you more motivation to continue taping your projects. One video I think others would also enjoy is a brief shop tour, maybe quickly showing some jigs. Knowing your attention to detail I assume you spend many hours shooting and editing a short video, but a shop tour would be very cool and appreciated.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thank you! I much appreciate the kind words, they indeed do motivate me. I hope to do a shop tour, but my shop is a mess! I'm always careful not to show the mess or to move it for the video, but I need to clean it up. Thanks again, feel free to keep commenting!

[@EscapeMCP]

Jer's Woodshop Yes! There's hope for me yet. The messy woodworkers are rising up after being told for years that we are dangerous - i.e. "A clean shop is a safe shop". :) Thanks for the video, awesome craftsmanship brilliantly executed (as always).

[@johnbouttell5827]

Go on, show us your messy side. You know you want to.

[@mikedkc]

That is some fine work there my friend. I appreciate your sense of design and craftsmanship.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Mike Davis Thank you!

[@basuramanya]

Looks like a great work space. Solid as a rock.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Dan aka Basuraman It is. Thanks

[@tri-forceblades3123]

AWESOME setup and build. Very well designed

[@andrewroberts3187]

I did something similar to my dad's Craftsman saw when I was about your age. I wish I still had the saw but couldn't move it across the country with me. Its It's in a friend's barn gathering dust till I can move back home. I hope you have the adjustable trunions. I used the same belt and similar switches. I also replaced the motor with an old 220v robot motor. Was planning on making it variable speed.

[@KSFWG]

Nice overview of your very nice table saw station. Thanks for the video!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thank you!

[@petertitan2186]

Impressive young man,thnx for new ideas.Very nice video by the way so many other videos on youtube put me to sleep

[@springbokmarine]

Great setup! Can't wait to see your next video!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thanks!

[@MariusHornberger]

Good video. I had some déjà vu's while watching this. In my old table saw cabinet I used the same dust collection covers and shapes, the same table leveling technique and a similar over all design. How powerful is this saw?

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thanks Marius! I hadn't really thought of the similarities, but now that you mention it I can see what you mean. The saw has a 1hp motor. It's a bit underpowered if I push it too hard, but it's good enough for what I do.

[@cpghmuscle]

Nice job Jeremy, great video. Thanks for sharing, Chris

[@wrdptrsn8701]

Very nice set up.

[@OnkelDude]

Question, what horsepower, RPM and voltage do you run your saw? Thanks for your time. I agree with everyone else, your ideas are great and thanks for getting it up on YT.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Patrick McVey The motor is 115V, 1hp, 3450rpm. Motor to blade is a 1:1 ratio.

[@OnkelDude]

Gee, its taken some time to get the pieces together. I got a 220 volt motor from eBay for the same saw on Craigslist from Havasu. Yes, it is muy fuerte. When gluing the 1x4s, the glue strength put a little warp in it length-wise. Did you get that? Onward.

[@VideoNOLA]

I made up a little platform, with a router mounted to its underside, sized so that it fits in the frame of my Ridgid portable table saw. Accomplishes what you did here, but in a portable format. When not in use, the router platform just hangs on the wall.

[@lupe6233]

Great job,true craftmanship!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thank you!!

[@bobbg9041]

WHAT? I watched the fence for the router be made I seriously thought that was a cabinet style table saw, now I'm blown away. You took a 300 dollar saw and turned it into a 1500 dollar saw station. No wonder you bought a pre made router lift. How much money do you have tied up in that? This is where some of these guys are going to need to change there shorts.

[@alexvogel2133]

have you ever gotten around to making plans for this? great TS station. goals.

[@ronogator7059]

jeremy, thanks for the E-mail, you may seem to think your table station video is enough sorry to say NO there"s not enough info. you need to understand your viewer point of view, remember the customer is always right. I see a lot of young folks such as yourself. they always seem to think there right, they can;t seem to see the forest because of the trees. Please do a video the making of the table saw station, from start to finish., I am here to support you why you ask? because I like what you no and you you your very gifted. I am retired from the USAF. gave 33 years as a fighter pilot, was in three wars, went thru things you wouldn't believe that is a story for another day, keep up the good work. Col. Ronald

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Rono Gator I understand what you're saying, but please realize that I had NOTHING to go by when I made this table saw station. I designed and built it with no outside guidance. So now you say that this isn't enough to go by, when it's a whole lot more than I had. My advice is to look at the project, and see what is the largest/most important part of the build (in this case that would be the laminated frames). Start by building those. Then step back and ask yourself, "what next?" Since there are two parts, connect them. You see how this is going, I'm sure you are easily smart enough to handle this if your smart enough to fly a plane.

[@henrysiegertsz8204]

How patronising? How old are you? Didn't it occur to you to offer constructive comments? Why not give Jeremy, and us, the benefit of your greater wisdom? Your comments are about as useful as a concrete diving suit, an ash tray on a motorcycle or a chocolate fire guard!

[@scottwillis5434]

To put it another (hopefully polite) way: there's a market here for plans. Not everyone has the same talents you do; what may seem simple, fun and easy to you may be difficult for others. Also, it takes a significant amount of work (with some error rate) and some talent to come up with plans and an assembly sequence. Some of us would be happy to pay, say, $15 (pricing copied from the other plans you sell) in exchange for skipping over that part and just starting construction. Or, to have a set of plans as a starting point for customization. E.g. I have a full-time job and a house to take care of; I'd rather pay you for plans than draw them up myself. I will be adding a hookup for active dust collection. I hope that you will choose to offer plans. Thank you!

[@scottwillis5434]

P.S. want plans? Encourage him to offer them by buying the plans he sells on Etsy, "Jerswoodshop". That's what I just did.

[@ausguitarist]

This video is a perfect example of how you don't need to spend thousands of dollars for a high quality, accurate saw.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

ausguitarist Exactly. Thanks!

[@subhrajit0993]

You are unbelievably talented, sub!!

[@civilenginerd1]

can you expand on how the connection works for the top? How is it connected such that it allows for the vertical movement to level it? or is it leveled by the lags before screwing the top down? Very interesting idea.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Basically it's leveled by the lags before screwing the top down. But if I have to I can loosen the hold-down screws and reach in with an open-end wrench and turn the lags after the top is on. A little hard to explain but I hope that makes sense!

[@civilenginerd1]

+Jeremy Schmidt Actually makes sense, i thought it must be something like that. Brilliant idea. One i never would have thought of.

[@RtCarolina]

I enjoy your videos very much. I have several old table saws, know I have a use for at least one of them. Thanks, "Rt"

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Rt Carolina Thank you!

[@RtCarolina]

Jer's Woodshop May I feature your channel on mine? I enjoy featuring other channels and always feel like asking beforehand is a nice thing to do. With your okay, I will put your channel on my "featured friends" list and add one or two of your videos to the "featured friends" playlist. Thanks, "Rt"

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Rt Carolina Sure! I would appreciate that! Thanks

[@robertappleby4734]

Wow. You give me hope in our future!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Mission accomplished. Thank you!!

[@MustacheVerra]

All i can say is i wish i had a table saw like that... Thanks for video.

[@davidmorales-px6fu]

oh my god you are a genius ¡¡ thanks from Mexico

[@michelevitarelli]

Thanks for sharing. Impressive setup.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thanks!

[@Cradley684]

Great job Jeremy !!!

[@titiekytitieky]

Very nice job!! Congratulation!!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thanks!

[@Handleyman]

Mi Jer. I've been thinking about that amazing table saw fence you made in another video. The only small problem I see with it is that there is no fine adjustment available. Maybe if you could put a threaded piece connected to the two half nuts that lock onto the threaded rod. With a simple lever that gives you one thread adjustment. Simple but effective. Just a thought. Cheers.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Look closer. There is a fine adjust, and it's very easy to use. You turn the whole threaded rod, so you simply offset all the detents. It's easy to dial it in to 0.001". I showed this in more detail on my router table fence video.

[@DixyPro1]

Good job. I was able to make one automatic that works on 12 volts,

[@halkester9368]

I had that table saw. reverse the insert and have two kerfs in one. good job with the station. Hals Wood Shop

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thanks! The 3/4" plywood insert is spongier than I'd like already, so I don't want to weaken it any more.

[@ryanmc3073]

What is the advantage of having such a wide table and do you ever use the extra length for anything? I'm having a hard time imagining a need for a table more than about 5' wide since if you're cutting a full sheet of plywood, you could use the opposite side cut to cut it down to make a part more than 4 feet long.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Ryan Mc For crosscutting a 4x8 sheet in half, it's nice to have 4' from the blade to the fence. (This system is even a little short of 4') The other reason to get a precise cut on larger workpieces. In my experience plywood dimensions can be quite a ways from right, so referencing the offcut on the fence isn't a very good idea. Not to mention you only have one chance at it because once the offcut is gone, there is no way to "true the cut".

[@ryanmc3073]

Did you ever consider putting the table saw on the end of the cabinet so that you could get the full 48" cut and then put the router on the opposite end? If so what design considerations made you choose the layout you had here? Are there any things you would do differently if you were to rebuild your frame? I've all but painted and adjusted my own fence using your plans. I was considering ripping 3/4" plywood rather than 1x4 pine boards and laminating those together. Would you consider that a viable way to build the frame? Would you consider your design over or under engineered?

[@ronogator7059]

jeremy, I like what you are doing on youtube, would you please show how to build your table saw station, I am looking to build a nice work bench on wheels with a nice table top, I love your series

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Rono Gator Thanks! This video should be enough for you to build it; just take it one step at a time.

[@Gday2ya]

Top of the bill video..chapeau!

[@MrMchina]

Seus trabalhos são uma obra de arte

[@BurkedoesDIYnow]

Does your saw have a tilt wheel on the side? Can you reach under the table to adjust it, is that how it works? Also do you use one adjustment lag bolt for each screw in the top? Great table design that I will eventually use for my own saw!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

The tilt wheel is on the left side, and yeah I can reach it. There's an adjustment lag for every hold down screw. Thanks!

[@kinashraf1975]

ok ...now this is perfect for everyone and from every side of it........can't say enough about it but can we get the plan for this can we please .....thumbs up from egypt

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Ashraf Abbas Thank you!! You shouldn't need plans, it's very self explanatory. And it will need to be customized to every saw.

[@kinashraf1975]

Ok it will be my first chalange in carpentry path as i am building my self in that ....thank you for the reply and motivation

[@vinhoi69]

Do you have plan for the table saw base

[@dingus49ovi]

Nice! How do you access the blade tilt wheel? My craftsman saw has it one the side where you put the drawers.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+dingus49ovi That was one of the problems with this station. I could reach the wheel but it was difficult and I never managed to tilt the blade without skinned knuckles...

[@vitusmoreno2367]

Definitely your project is very professional is you know good design. I can only ask you a question about it, if you have the drawings of the table. You know I have an old cutting table like the one you show and I would like that design adapt him, I want to please if you can support me with this. Greetings from Mexico, and do not stop your followers show your designs.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thank you. I do not have any drawings of the table, sorry. You'll have to go by what you see in the video.

[@Dan-qk4ns]

Very Nice setup! Are there any differences you would do if building it today? I have a similar saw that I'm making into a cabinet work table like this. I also have the same bosch router and would like to make a festool inspired hinged wing on the back to act as a worktop/ dog type table and also an outfeed for the saw. I'm looking into drop caster system and I'm not sure how to do the hinge for the worktop/outfeed table!? Any retrospective advice or tips would be appreciated. Cheers

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Dan The main thing I regret is putting the old saw I did in it. I ended up upgrading because of safety and dust collection, so the station unfortunately had to be dismantled to make room for the new saw. So if you have any consideration of upgrading your saw, do it now! I'm not sure I would do this, but I would play around with some designs that have the outfeed table integrated. As far as a drop caster system, mine just had locking casters and so does my outfeed table, and that has never been any problem at all. So drop casters may be unnecessary, but they would be kinda nice :)

[@mahtoosacks]

+Jeremy Schmidt What saw did you go with? I've been looking at doing this, but finding a good quality (& cheap) used cast iron saw is hard in my area. I was looking at the Delta 6010 to fill the void. 3.5" cut depth, and can use 13/16" 8" dado. Love your fence design with the all-thread. Brilliant change to the biesemeyer. I'm going to build mine 30" deep and 8' wide with a flip up extension. My she'd doesn't have good power or space, so it's just for tool storage.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

DJ Matusiak Sawstop PCS175

[@mahtoosacks]

+Jeremy Schmidt Thanks for quick reply! Nice choice. A little rich for me, but I love the safety feature. We're you able to incorporate it into this station, or did you go another route?

[@rafikhan908]

[@hamp7803]

This is the second vid of yours I have seen and I like them both, so I just Subscribed!!! I have a feeling I will learn some stuff from watching your vids. I have a very very tiny little room that I share the washer and dryer with as my wood/workshop. lol

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thank you!! Ya that small a shop would add some challenges...mine is 12'x24' and I think of it as "small"!

[@intjonmiller]

Oh man, this is just eerie. I told you on your fence video that we have the same saw and very similar fence design (though I like yours better). Now you built a station around it that is strikingly similar (layout, not construction) to mine. I based mine around some salvaged kitchen cabinets, with a lap joint 2x4 chassis. I chopped one of the cabinets in half so the saw sits over the lower half. That cabinet door holds back all the sawdust. I also suspended my saw from the cast iron top. Then I bolted other parts to the sides of the top through the extension wing mounting holes. I didn't have the foresight to make my top in any way adjustable and it has sagged a little bit over time. When I built it I didn't have any other workbench so I made my extensions with overhang so I can get clamps under it. But there is no way to adjust anything and the entire structure is bolted to that cast iron top (seemed like a good idea at the time, since it is so strong and stable), so if I take anything apart the whole thing will fall apart. It has served me VERY well but it's limitations have become the weak point in my shop so I need to build a new one this year. Like I said, so eerie to see the similarities in concept here. But yours is far and away superior to mine.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Wow! My extensions are not fastened to the table saw at all. In fact the table saw is not fastened to anything except the fence rail, which in turn is screwed to the frame.

[@intjonmiller]

That sounds like a much better design. When I did mine I was entirely new to woodworking and hadn't studied at all or anything, so I did what seemed to make sense. Some of it worked great, some not so much. I'm excited about round 2 to come, and seeing your designs has helped me improve my plan.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

I would have to say my design is far from flawless, the basic principle of two laminated frames and plywood panels works fine, but I would spend a bit more time at the drawing board (sketchup) and think it through more if I had it to do over. It works fine but it's not that pretty...

[@sanjayasharma9709]

Hi Jeremy, I like all your videos they are amazing good. I would like to make my work table you have in this video is there you can have plans with the measurement so I don't screw up, I am new in woodwork , I will really appreciate this. Thank You.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Sanjaya Sharma No I don't have plans for this. Sorry.

[@bobegan8457]

Have the same table saw. I'm curious as to why you decided to "hang it" ? I also noticed two bolts that look like they come down from the saw into that bottom dust collector panel. Did you decide to bolt the saw down after or just use them to stabilize things. Great heavy saw. I learned to cut on this saw from my grandad in the 60's. I've complete restored mine and decided I'm going to honor it with a new stand. thanks for your video. you are very talented.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Bob Egan I hung it for the sake of precision. I don't know if it's necessary, but I like to keep the reference surfaces as close as possible. All the heavy mechanisms are hanging from the top anyway, so I think it's fine from a strength perspective. The bolts into the bottom were just to pull the gap closed for dust collection.

[@johnnymcdonald1100]

Jeremy, did you draw up plans for your table saw center. I'd like to build it but I work better using plans. Thanks. Great saw station.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Johnny McDonald No, I only have plans for the fence.

[@zfox0890]

I'd be interested in seeing your plans for the fence. I'm planning a similar design and am stuck on the design for the fence.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

[@procknyp238]

Nice work 👌🏼

[@politicalpartyagnostic268]

Excellent!!! Just what I need!!!

[@jasonautry24]

How hard was it to match the height of the table saw to the auxiliary table extensions?

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Jason Autry Very easy. Its nice to have a good 4 foot straightedge; just lay the straightedge on the table and adjust until you can't see light under it.

[@terryoconnor3545]

Brilliant !!!!!

[@ShengYangLah]

you are a genius!

[@vincent7520]

Outstanding

[@IslandAlohaGrill]

Aloha from North Texas Jeremy. You have excellence in your design and solid frame strength. Great workmanship. Am building my first shop in limited home garage space. By the way, what is the height from floor to table saw top? Thanks.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Lenny Escobido Thanks! It's 36"

[@mauriziosantangelo1477]

Jeremy I want to realize your table saw that seems very functional. can you give the measures of the top. After your experience with the work you would have modified these measures? Thanks for your advice.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Maurizio Santangelo All of those dimensions are in the video. I don't have the station anymore, as I upgraded to a cabinet saw. But if I still had a contractors saw I wouldn't do anything much different about the station.

[@MrPaulb1259]

Jeremy do you have plans for your table saw stations? By the way you are the best no doubt

[@Jer_Schmidt]

No, I don't have plans for it. You'll have to go by the video. Thanks!

[@calligarisfamily8658]

Thank you very much for this video, this table is great! Can I ask you a link to buy that leveling screws that you show under the top? I can’t find them

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Those were just lag screws. Every hardware store will have them I'm sure.

[@calligarisfamily8658]

Oh, ok, I thought that the screws above the top were inserted in them, for this reason I thought that they were special screws, something like double sided screws or similar... So the screws above the top are independent of them. Ok, thank you very much for your answer and congratulation for your jobs! Hi from Rome.

[@bertkraan2817]

great video's and very inspiring!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thanks!

[@scottwillis5434]

Love the video, thanks for posting it!Planning a workshop. When setting up such a station, should I allow for 8' + standing room to front and back of the blade, then 8' to one side and 4' the other? Thanks!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Scott Willis It totally depends how you plan on using it. I have 8' in front and behind the blade, about 3' to the left and 4' to the right (wish I had more to the left, but my shop is too narrow).

[@reneschuster1875]

Hi do you have a video/plan for this table? Thank you

[@kymresearchers2887]

hi jer, iam not a professional wood worker. but doing the things like all u guys is habit. anyways i have been looking for a workbench consists of table saw on middle, router at right, drill press at left and underneath the top the remaining tools. and i am confused whether i go with wood like u did or with iron framing. which can be helpful me to go as u. and things looks easy when others do, but not when i try. but i don't stop. Expecting a good suggestion from u. Thanks

[@Jer_Schmidt]

I'd say use wood. The laminated frame I showed in the video is very strong, stronger than steel if you spend the same amount of money on it. It's also easy to make, just spread glue and screw the layers together, then remove the screws when the glue is dry.

[@Jamesmariotti]

Care to demo the Incra masterlift? ( take it apart, show how and what do?)

[@Jer_Schmidt]

They are extremely simple. Just look at some pictures of it and I think you'll see how it works.

[@rutgerhoutdijk3547]

How long is the threaded rod you use? I couldn't find these rods over 1m (3ft) so i thought about using a rod connector at the location where the fence would be over the blade, but I'm not sure if this is a good solution.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

The threaded rod is 6 feet long, and comes from Zoro. I recommend plain steel (not zinc plated) as it is usually more accurate. If you can't find it then a coupler where the blade is should work just fine, but of course you'll only get ~30" rip capacity left or right of the blade.

Unfortunately I don't live in the US, I was planning to use 14mm rod because it has 2mm pitch, so rotating the rod a half turn would give you 1mm travel. I still have to find a way to mount the bearings on the rod but that should not be too difficult.

I don't know if Fastenal ships international, but they have a m16-2.0 X 2m threaded rod for a good price. www.fastenal.com/products/details/11505191?r=~|categoryl1:%22600000%20Fasteners%22|~%20~|categoryl2:%22600169%20Rods%209and%20Studs%22|~%20~|categoryl3:%22600173%20Threaded%20Rods%22|~%20~|sattr01:^Metric$|~%20~|attrlength:301000|~

+Jeremy Schmidt fastenal is a multinational company with factories in many different countries, so that may be a good place to look.

Fantastic you video ! , Jeremy greeating from Valdivia Chile .

[@tizianovit7947]

Have you got any plan or drawing to share about this amazin table saw?

[@Jer_Schmidt]

No. Sorry.

[@FlyTyinGuy]

very impressive!

[@dozerjohn]

Epic build. Audio was way low this time, make sure to check that in the future.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thanks. I need to get a clip-on mic. Talking across the room to the camera doesn't work so well.

[@ChadMc74]

Im thinking of building a similar station but with router to the right. Any benefit of right vs left?

[@Jer_Schmidt]

I don't think it matters. My shop is narrow so my table saw is against the wall on the right, that's the only reason I put it on the left.

[@xandecampos2557]

really good job.....

[@iassadiassadi]

Great job Thank you

[@fareacher]

did you put your electric switch in a wooden box?

[@Jer_Schmidt]

The was a regular metal electrical box inside there, but the cover was wood.

[@camperdave4990]

Very nice.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thanks!

[@brettmclain4409]

Do you have a video on how to build this?

[@Jer_Schmidt]

No, I built this before I had the whole video-making thing figured out.

[@CisnerosShop]

Hey jer, how many HP motor does your table saw have?

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+victor cisneros This old one had 1hp. My new Sawstop is 1.75

[@CisnerosShop]

Thanks

[@CisnerosShop]

Hey jer, any update on the plans for the CNC machine diy build you where working on?

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+victor cisneros Still working on it.

[@tiitsaul9036]

Good one.

[@Josh_Luijsterburg]

great Job! you should post more :)

[@andrewzimba7432]

Got plans for the station? Could be another Etsy cash stream! :)

[@MrHandwerk]

nice Video ! Thx You :)

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thanks for watching!

Hello Jeremy, Is the rod bought at home center precise enough? I tried measuring a 1mm thread and over a meter it would "skip" a thread. In other words it wasn't a true 1mm. I would imagine you'd have to buy a precise threaded rod designed for CNC for this to work. Otherwise what a wonderful idea. I use an Incra TS and yours is definitely a more ergonomic design at fraction of a cost. BTW, are you by chance infringing on their patents by publishing this design? Alex

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Alex Parfenov I didn't buy the rod at the home center, I bought it for Zoro Tools. And yes, it is perfect as far as I can tell. It is a plain steel rod, and that's important as most coatings (such as zinc) can distort the rod during the application process. I'm pretty sure I'm not infringing as all of their patents have entered public domain, being over 20 years old.
