Table Saw Upgrade - I Should Have Done this YEARS AGO!

[@heXbelongs2me]

You do have to spend some time setting the saw up... blade, fence, etc. But once done, the saw is great. Fairly compact which is Nice kzbin.infoUgkxXh-4_3-ZT1fFWP91ZV7iVqzElr0lEb-a I did get an Incra Miter Gauge which takes some setup as well. The stock miter gauge can be adjusted in the miter slot with a little painter's tape... this tightens up the side to side play a lot.

[@BeInspiredwithDominic]

The only functionality this adds is the joy of using the saw from here on out, and that can be the difference between enjoying working in your shop or not. Well done, and thanks for sharing, Jon!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

So true 👍 thanks!

[@geneswood0729]

Sure do love yr shop and how clean and organized it is

[@raeannwaymack704]

The plans here are simply fantastic! Very easy to read and understand. This is just what I have been looking for kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I now have lots of designs to work with and plans to implement. I appreciate this so much.

Your vids are allways pleasant Mr. Petrowsky.

[@evafinnegan1724]

I love the style of your videos!!!

[@andrewbrown8148]

Great looking turning~! I was thinking the same about that old ragged, taped-up handle. A great example of taking "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" and throwing it out the window~! :-) I'm looking forward to that workstation plan. I've been searching for a good cabinet build to replace my lathe stand and that quick shot of yours looks really nice~! (So far) I'm horrible at designing my own projects, so thank the woodworking gods for guys like you~!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Andrew, I’ve been thinking about the new work station for a while... with such a small shop it’s important to use the space effectively and I can already tell the cabinet is going to help with work flow. Looking forward to posting the project next week

[@ttttommy]

BEFORE I clicked on this, I thought to myself, god no, not another SawStop. Thanks John for not doing that !! Love your videos too !!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Tom!

[@pslnuke]

Another great video. I kinda liked the old handle. It served you well.

[@MJ-nb1qn]

Nice! I once used a Hurst T handle shift knob for a similar purpose. It was ergonomic before it’s time!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Cool! The door handle on my shop is based on the shifter on a trans Am

[@ottomaselli7762]

The mortiser and the lathe look great on that cabinet !! Thanks for sharing

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Otto!

Nice work on the handle. If you add 2 grip rings, with a lathe, it would be a neat detail

I currently own a Ridgid table saw. I would like to upgrade to a cabinet table saw and have absolutely no idea what direction to look. Would love a suggestion if you wouldn't mind

Do you like that lathe from Rockler? If so would you recommend it to someone who is just starting in wood turning?

I have been wondering about that knob for years. I assumed it broke at some point and that was just how the repair looked. I really like that new cart. Putting the lathe on the back was a good idea. Look forward to seeing the build.

[@frostrap]

Gotta admit, something about that old handle used to drive me crazy. Love the new one!

I have a PM 66. The upgrade I did was a zero clearance throat plate with a splitter. Would have made cutting that short piece of lumber much, much safer.

[@rml015]

Ha! I've always thought that old handle was going to snap off in one of your videos. Great upgrade!

Nice Work Jon its the old saying The Shoemakers Son doesn’t have any Shoes thing We all neglect little things like that in our own Workshops and homes I had a piece of moulding that needed to be nailed on and despite being a Professional Woodworker for 20 years it took me 25 to nail and putty the holes on that moulding in all honesty i did it the day i moved out of the house my excuse had been my hammer and tools are at work but that day everything was in the moving truck i was using to carry all my possessions ! It took me only a couple of minutes to do And the movers to move a big heavy piece of furniture something i would never allow on a job site or a customers Project but i lived with it for all those years Go Figure ? ?

[@lanecobb4150]

Jon, is your shop floor plywood on sleepers over a concrete floor? I recently retired and am in process of setting my old cabinetmaking shop back up. I have a 2000 sq. ft. garage with a very uneven concrete floor that is murder on my body after spending a full day on it. Wood floors are much more forgiving so the thinking is to level the floor while also making it more comfortable under foot, warmer and possibly running wiring/ducting under it.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Hi Lane, The barn had a gravel floor before and I framed it out with two by sixes and sheathed over with three-quarter inch plywood. It sounds like putting slippers down would be the way to go for you… Definitely nice having the plywood floor

[@lanecobb4150]

Jon Peters Thanks Jon. Your Mobil Work Station project showed up in my inbox this AM as “recommended”. Watched and enjoyed it so now subbed with a bell.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Lane!

[@chadrockman1762]

I've got a small shop and the heart of my shop is also my powermatic 66. Bought it from a cabinet maker that traded it in for a saw stop. Love American made steel. I'd never own a saw stop Chinese junk.

[@Jddlincoln]

I love the powermatic 66. I have two of them in my shop, one is a dedicated dado saw. My shop is actually smaller then yours but i got spoiled in a larger shop with two tablesaw.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

That’s a nice set up👍 I imagine you are running the saws face to face. I’ve thought about doing that.

[@Jddlincoln]

I used too, both saws had 7’ fence capacity. I brought one of the saws fence capacity down to 48” and have it on a mobile base. It gets pushed along a wall when not in use.

[@qoo650622cd]

質感很棒 祝您 新年快樂

[@dennisoshea4906]

Question you have had that powermatic for a long time If you had to replace it would you get another or would you go to a Saw Stop just wondering

[@JonPetersArtHome]

I always tell people to get a saw stop because most people I know have been hurt on the table saw including me. Fortunately my accident wasn’t bad

[@dennisoshea4906]

@@JonPetersArtHome I had my Unisaw for over forty years and still going strong

[@drewt3210]

@@JonPetersArtHome @DennisO'Shea I got super lucky when I ran my right hand through my Jet cabinet saw a few years ago working late at night. Ironically, my hospital bill was exactly the price of a SawStop. But I still haven't replaced my Jet. I immediately adopted the practice: Make cuts only during daylight hours; "Glue-ups only" if I work after sunset. All the best, @HoneyOnWales

Under the heading of you can’t please everybody, I liked the patina of the old handle.

I'm with you. New fancy is beautiful and all, but I like gritty.

[@kickflipsk8r489]

What size room is your workshop? I'm trying to decide what size to build mine. Would you go larger if you could?

[@Jddlincoln]

Go as large as you can afford, Space is always at a premium in a wood shop. My old shop was 1500 sf, i work solo and with two kitchen builds going at one time I ran out of space. I am currently in a 20x20 shop and boy do i miss the larger shop.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

The barn is 16 x 32. The upstairs is an art studio/ office. The inside wood shop is about 15.5 x 25 it used to have a covered porch before I closed it in and that’s now storage. If I could build a new shop about 30 x 40 sounds good.

It's always the simple things that make a difference.

[@alexxxg310]

What brand/model lathe is that??

[@gabrielgarcia5686]

I actually commented on one of your recent videos about the masking tape on your Rip Fence Handle. I wonder if you actually saw my comment and decided to finally upgrade it. 😂 Never did find out why the masking tape. But the handle is a huge improvement.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

I read all the comments so I’m sure yours one of them 😂 and thank you! sometimes I need a kick to get something done 👍

Have you gotten away from the full kerf blade?

[@healing2gether]

Hey John, nice upgrade ;) I’m sure you’ve pondered over a Sawstop..I’ve been a contractor and builder my whole life but I’m now getting into woodworking and setting up my woodshop. I’ve always used the best contractor and jobsite tablesaws, but now that I’m using the tablesaw in a different capacity I’m considering the Sawstop Professional (though the price is outlandish and I have never used one.) Do you see the place for it over say the grizzly simply due to its safety feature? Thanks, Adam Build Guild n’ Refine TV

[@JonPetersArtHome]

I would spend the money on the Saw Stop ... Will be talking about Shop Tools on my next shoptalk video. You can find that channel by searching Jon Peters shop talk.
