Ahhhhh... haha.... ha..... ha

When I first got into woodworking I found a decent Delta/Rockwell 34-338 on CL for $75. I spent plenty of time disassembling, cleaning the machine, and updating wear parts (rebuilt arbor assembly with new bearings, wave washer, bushings etc.). I spent alot of time learning how the machine works and aligning and "tuning" it while going through this process. A PALS system makes fine tuning a contractor saw much easier. I bought and mounted the 30" delta t3 fence, a link belt for the original 1.5 motor, relocated the power switch, and retained the factory splitter/knife. These updates and upgrades along with a good freud blade make for a wonderfully accurate and stable saw. Does it compare with a uni saw or other full size cabinet saws? Of course not, but the knowledge and understanding gained through the process is invaluable to me. I know much more about a future purchase now. Financially, it's not too bad even with the upgrades and blade. So, IMO quality contractor saw ate great options. Just be prepared to put money into upgrades and time into refurb.

I have the jobsite Skil Saw as it was the only one available for pickup close by when I desperately needed one at the beginning of the pandemic. I love that thing, the worm drive makes cutting large stock a breeze. I've built a heavy cabinet around it with fold-up back and side tables and now can safely rip full size sheets. I even use it to cut 2x4's into 1x4's in one step to get cheap boards 😉

I have used a SawStop at work for years and last year I ran a finger into the blade. Still not sure exactly how I did that, but I was in a hurry. Never rush with a table saw. It did hurt, but the cut was minimal when you think about being hit by a 1/8" wide carbide tooth. I was happy to have the safety feature on that day.

@@danthechippie4439 Europe uses 220 volts. Everyone in the US who uses any power tool with anything over 1 1/2hp runs their tools on 220 volts that is available in every house and business. The only difference between US and European 220 volts is US is 60 hertz and Europe is 50 hertz so there is no issue with power. I suspect that SawStop hasn't gotten into Europe yet is that they are not ready to deal with the distribution and parts/warranty aspect of it. As far as the Dado issue, if and when SawStop decides to sell in Europe, all they will have to do is make a European spec saw with a shorter arbor so you cannot bolt on a Dado head.

Great Video Bear, always enjoy them. I am 64 years old and have been a remodeling contractor for over 40 years. I have had 10 table saws through my life time and still have 9 of them. I bought a Contractor SawStop saw along with building a Ron Paulk bench for my shop a couple of years ago. I know it was a lot of money but the older I get the more I keep thinking I might make a stupid mistake. I am glad I didn't buy the Bosch Saw back then because it soon got discontinued. I really do like the SawStop and would buy one again.

One of the most comprehensive and educational information about must haves for table saws and accessories. Nice job!

Good video. I love my cabinet saw. I got an extended bed with a mobile base, and it is so easy to push out of the way or reposition it if I need to cut something big. Makes it usable in my small 2 car garage shop. So glad I got it. I was going to get a smaller saw and upgrade after I moved and built a shop, but the mobile base convinced me not to buy a saw I was just going to replace. The digital angle gauge you showed is great. I also just found out they make a digital fence readout that is long enough for the extended table. That is my next upgrade for sure.

I just picked up the 10inch Kobalt table saw with rolling/collapsible stand for $229. It's a solid saw for DIY/home owner use. I love the extendable table top and how compact it collapses to. Perfect for my small garage.

@Ian9toes No, I'm subscribed to the Den, and watch almost every upload. I saw this video the day it was uploaded. It went live with serendipitous timing.

I would love to get a new table saw in spring. I had the cheap little Skil table saw and was actually impressed with it after I put on a nice combo blade it cut wonderfully. But it just was to small for plywood sheets so I sold it.

i have owned 3 Unisaws, a powermatic 66 and just purchased a PCS Saw Stop, the SS is on par with the Unisaw and PW, i loved all of them, but the SS does have some nice features other than the safety features. they are extremely easy to make adjustments to the table and the fence...all great saws and i am a huge Delta fan, i have many of their machines and am happy with all of them.

I have a 1953 Delta Homecraft 8” tablesaw. Runs like a champ and is great for my tiny garage shop. I run 8” blades and a 6” dado stack on it. I built a biesemeyer style fence for it to replace the original solid but finicky fence

I have the T1 version of the Delta hybrid and it's bad ass. Best saw I have used in the price range!

I just bought the Delta 725 T2 and after i started seeing they where having motor problems. After your video i feel maybe a little better about them fixing the problem. i have attached my Kobalt router table/router to it and absolutely love it saves so much space and use the saw fence with it awesome.

I have the Skilsaw worm drive portable saw with stand. The stand is great and it’s easy to move, fold, and unfold. The motor is good and no shortage of power for a small saw.

Good video. I inherited a vintage near-perfect 1968/69 Craftsman 113 series from my dad, added 2 extra 12" extensions (with the original 10") and a 15" router table (all cast iron), as well as upgraded the fence to a Delta T3. It weighs a ton, but that is good IMHO, as I do not need to move it often. It does not move when used and vibrations are minimal. It can do 36" rip cuts on the right side & ~30" on the left and handles large sleds with no issue. I'd like to upgrade the motor to a 3 horse (220V) down the road. My upgrade investment was just under $400 total, it does not have any plastic on it and built in USA.

I have a Gripper and its great. They make a cheaper push block that is pretty good, too. I also have a mag angle finder and like it a lot better than my dial version from Harbor Freight. I have the Hitachi branded Metabo saw and it is fantastic for my garage shop space.

11:30 I have that same table saw in the 52" version and I love it totally worth it %110 I bought mine from home depot it works pretty good but the dust collection is a little crappy but the fence and every thing else is awesome.

I got lucky summer before last and found an old miter gauge like you were showing at a yard sale for $1. I've used it many times and I love it.

I have my grandfather's Craftsman table saw. It was made in 1951, has a heavy cast iron top and wings, belt driven and still runs very smooth. Sometime in the near future I plan on tearing it down and giving it a good clean up & lube job. I also bought a new Shop Fox fence for it.

Thanks for the video Red. I have a 3hp Sawstop and an old Craftsman hybrid (zip code) I shimmed them up and bolted them side by side about 5 years ago. Makes for a great station but you must have the room for it. I keep the dado stack in the hybrid and a combination blade in the Sawstop. I went Sawstop when I got my first grandson!

I had that new Delta 36-725T2 and you are right, it died super quick. Two of them in fact, as they bother were one of the very first ones. Delta customer service was on the spot with the second one and helped troubleshoot the problem. They drop shipped me a fixed version and paid to have the old one sent back for their R&D. Sold me on Delta.

Great job Brother Bear for a fair and thorough review and recommendations on woodworking saws. I have owned a Grizzly G1023 RL cabinet saw you featured for the past 4 years and very satisfied with its overall performance after the usual adjustments and tweaks. One aspect of any large format saws that are meant for enclosed spaces is "DUST COLLECTION" besides all the other forms and functions, the dust collection just does not "SUCK" as intended (NO PUN INTENDED HERE). I would love to know your thoughts on this aspect that separates the "CUBS" from the "PAPA BEARS"

For a big saw that sees a lot of use you should look into a two stage system. Either buy or DIY but you will need a 1 micron filter on it.

Thanks Da Bear, very nice video! To those reading this post...if you don’t have a Grrripper, then you should get one or even two. You can order a less technical version for under $30.00. Ridgid makes an adjustable support stand for around $33.00. It’s not a roller Tempe, it has a tilting head that’s adjustable. I like mine. In fact I like it so much I might get a 2nd one for side support usage, e.g. running a 4x8 sheet across the saw.

I'm glad the delta had it worked out on the t2 I bought one early enough that they recommended just returning it. Absolutely loved the construction of that saw

I’ve found the ball bearing style roller stands work the best. They are not as picky about alignment in the direction of movement of the board. The long roller if not align correctly will actually pull the board off your line.

I’ve been a part time woodworker for years depending on need. But the bug has hit and your video is timely as I am looking to upgrade my Ryobi folding leg table saw. Nothing particularly wrong with it but there’s no slots in the bed. My impression is it’s contractor style and not well adapted for finer woodworking. Thanks for the info! See you over on FB.

thank you. I have been looking at and reading reviews on table saws. Right now I cannot get a cabinet saw, mostly because I rent and only have 110. I think this is going to be fine for me right now since I am just starting out.

I actually have owned the "Finger Slicer 2000" from Harbor Freight for more than a decade and have done a plethora of projects, including a set of cabinets and shaker style doors, as well as shelves and wall hanging units. I can only imagine how much easier this would be with an actual table saw. I can certainly afford to upgrade (sadly not enough room for a cabinet saw) at this point and this video was incredibly informative. Thank you!! The accessories recommendations were great, too. I'm not sure the difference between the 2 magnetic tools (calibrator vs angle), but I'll be investigating those. And likely picking up a roller stand. I would be curious about drill presses, as I have the Harbor Freight version of that, as well.

Also grabbed the metabo saw , got it $329 but seen it went down to $299 on black friday and the following weekend so I brought my receipt into Lowes and they gave me back the $30 difference in cash !! Also its a great saw, the fence is a dream compared to my old Makita table saw that was probably 20 years old! The blade is a 10 inch Metabo and gotta say is actually a quality blade !!

This was a great video! I would love to see a series of these about different tools.

The best explanation of useful information that I didn't know I didn't know! Thank You!

I shipped a Dewalt DW743 from the UK to Canada which was a tool originally made by Elu prior to being taken over by Dewalt. It is 18 years old and works great when I need a site tool. Shop saw i use is the Delta hybrid saw which would suit most home woodworkers.

Learned something new today. I always thought my grandfather's Unisaw cabinet saw was named due to it being a good saw used for building cabinets, not that the saw mechanism was mounted to the base cabinet. Great info!

I've been woodworking for the better part of 50 years and have been lucky in having two accidents on my table saws. When I had my second accident earlier this year which required 15 stitches over 3 fingers my better half said that I needed to get something safer than my early 50's Delta Homecraft saw that was nearly as old as I am or she would sell ALL my tools. I felt that a bit drastic but I respected her concern for me to keep all ten of my fingers and I purchased a SawStop 3HP PCS saw. It was the best move I ever made. The saw is a very well made piece of equipment. They are called accidents not on-purposes for a reason. Another thing is CRC 3-36 is a great rust inhibitor followed up with Johnson's paste wax.

I bought probably one of the last Rockwell Unisaws back in 1984 with the sliding table and long guide bars that allow 50" rips with the Jet Lock rip fence. I now use the Unifence which is far superior to any fence I've ever seen or used. For site work I use an old Makita 2711 table saw. (For ripping only) It has a 24" rip capacity and a very accurate fence. Cross cuts are with a sliding compound miter saw or circular saw. I've been a woodworker since 1977 and thankfully, still have all my digits.

Great video! Thanks for sharing & spreading the knowledge.

got that delta fence system to replace my tube based system. best thing ever!

INCREDIBLE CONTENT TONIGHT! I realize it takes way more time to create than it does to watch it. This is extremely pertinent to me. I am debating spending boat loads of money on a cabinet table saw and electrician in a suburban house not worth that. But also an owner of a late-90s Ryobi table saw; that my over decade experience tells me that it doesn't work for all the use cases I have. I am switching to Track Saws for cutting down sheet goods but want a very accurate table saw for the rest. You have constantly called out the insanity of this market segment and the real need. You rock! Track saws for the big sheet goods and table saws for all the other versatility.

I just upgraded from a shite old craftsman "job site" saw to the Delta 36-725t2 that Red recommends at 11:19 (on his recommendation) and it is phenomenal. I recommend looking at it seriously.

Dado Blade - I have the Rigid jobsite saw (which I really like) and the manual recommendation is to use a 6" blade stack, so I got the Freud 6" stack. I have a VERY small shop, so I also have a rolling cart that my saw sits in (no scissor legs) with surface left and behind the blade to support any work piece that can fold down for storage. Everything is stable and works great. I also (when I had a much larger shop) upgraded to an Incra miter gauge and kept it when I sold everything else (just in case...). The Ridgid saw has a standard miter slot so the Incra slides right in and has greatly improved my accuracy.

The Delta Unifence was awesome... So glad I have one on my Delta cabinet saw.. sadly, not made any more.

I love my Bosch jobsite table saw it’s fantastic zero issues runs flawlessly no vibration and perfect for ripping doors and doing commercial flooring to just ripping 3x12 white oak dried for trailer floors

Love my Powermatic PM66, built like a tank. 3 HP, rips 8/4 hard maple like butter , no burning. Should think about a good track saw and table set up in place of a job site saw - cuts sheet goods much better & safer. I have the Makita and made a table ( Festool style MFT ) for a fraction of the cost. Woodpekers makes a great jig to do all the holes. Also use the table in place of a chop saw.

Thank you for your insight, I learned a lot. 👍

Thanks for the vid and for the overview, wanting to get a saw and this vid has a ton of information!

I am super happy with our 3 HP saw stop. Leave all the safety features intact. Great piece of mind. Especially when you have multiple employees using it. But agreed not the end all be all for everyone.

It wasn’t until I got the new Grizzly catalog that I realized what a bargain the purchaser got. I’m happy with it because the buyer seemed to be a nice young guy starting out and I got the feeling that he would get lot of good use out of the saw.

Biesemeyer, from my understanding, was bought out by Delta. I've tried to buy a Biesemeyer fence with no luck. NO ONE carries them any longer. I ended up buying a Saw stop 52" fence assembly instead. I'm very happy that I did.

Bought the HF FingerSlicer 2k, returned it after one use for a compact Ryobi. Not great but it does OK with light duty woodworking.

Fantastic video. I bought a Delta 36-725t2 table saw after learning more about it on your channel and I LOVE IT. I've heard "Glidecote" (Glidecoat?) is the gold standard for table saw top lube, but haven't tried it yet. It's $$. I started w/ Ridgid jobsite saw w/ scissor stand (264.00) and though I loved the soft start and brake features, the table was warped and fance sucked. Returned it in favor of the Delta.

For just ripping pine I have the cheap ryobi portable saw that I paid $100 for a few years ago. It struggles to cut thick green treat but for ripping 1x and 2x pine it works great and is light. It is so light it can be tough to rip wood if the saw isn't screwed down to something.

I bought an older craftsman cast iron top contactor saw. It's a hybrid I suppose. I added a aftermarket fence and love it.

I've used a lot of saws. I prefer the cabinet sawstop. The blade stopper is just a bonus to me. Owned it for a few years now and still love almost everything about it. Only complaint is the riving knife doesnt line up properly with the blade. Little bit of painters tape as a shim fixes it tho.

Awesome video. Very informative. You mentioned other folks find using the delta cabinet saw better than using the equivalent saw stop. Would you please elaborate. I was thinking if buying the delta saw or saw stop and trying to figure out which way to go. Any light you could shed on this would be greatly appreciated.

Very well explained. Thanks for the educated presentation.

Wow, what a wealth of information. I just used an old Montgomery Wards table saw to do wood flooring and wood stairs. Oh how I wish had spend the money before starting the job and got a good accurate table saw. I had to manual make the fence parallel every time!!! I'm a casual home DIY'er, so I think I'm gonna go with the Skil TS6307-00 I love the fold out legs, rack and pinion fence and PRICE! Thank you so much for posting this video.

My table saw was set up to cut sheet goods but it takes up a lot of space I no longer have. I now use a circular saw freehand and touch it up with a hand plane if needed.

Like you Bear, I also have the 1st gen of the Lowe's Delta saw, the 2 issues I found with it are: 1) the factory dust collector does not work, I ended up pulling mine off the factory wheel base and building my own enclosed base with a pan connected to the dust collection hose. 2) the stock fence, well first off the tape measure on it is accurate at 2" from the blade and out almost 1/4" at 15" from the blade lol, I fixed this with a Kreg stick on tape measure over the top of the stock one. Outside of that, yes, it's a great saw for the money. Plan on selling mine soon and upgrading to a full cabinet like the unisaw or possibly the grizzly, haven't made up my mind yet.

Been using that Grizzly since 2015. Just about the time there was talk about mandating the sawstop. I bought the Grizzly to avoid a mandate. It’s been terrific. You’re absolutely correct

The 599 for the delta at lowes is a amazing saw and deal for the size if the table @TheDenOfTools

I have the Ridgid 10" table saw with the granite top. It's the best machine I've used for the money. Especially in cold areas. Never have to worry about cast iron tops

Red, your videos are always good but you made a quantum leap with this one, so comprehensive (defining, describing, instructing, options). Great research, analysis, and presentation. You are one awesome bear 🐻!

Great video, thank you, please do another vid for miter saws

Just got that metabo job site saw a couple of months ago and I have to say the thing is freaking awesome rack and pinion fence system on it is amazing just as good as DeWalt and it rips through pretty much all wood I throw at it like butter

I have had a Bosch 4100 saw for the last 6 months and love it! It folds for storage and has wheels to transport! Makes very accurate cuts as well!

I always use an outfeed roller stand when ripping full sheets of ply.

Bear, you should look up Northfield Table Saws... 18 inch blades on those bad boys.

The Craftsman I bought in 1969 is still making sawdust in my son's garage. The link belt runs "smoother" because it decouples the frequency modes that make a stiff normal V belt whip up and down between the pulleys. I rigged a pulley type of belt tensioner on that Craftsman to take out that bouncing.

Thank You for your time to educate people like me. You are a good human being doing that. Bless You brother. Bravo .

Bear, I'd like to do a special mention here... I have my Grizzly Z Series 5hp cabinet saw that I love, but for portable saws I highly recommend the Ryobi BT3000/3100 series that was also sold by Sears. I have had both the Ryobi and Sears brands and no job site/portable saw can come close to the versatility, flexibility, and precision that the Ryobi BT3000 style saw can deliver. It comes on its own quick setup rolling stand; is set up with router table from the git-go; it can extend to comfortable handle big sheet good and its crosscut table is just miles ahead of everyone in this category. I see them on Craigslist for a song and a dance all the time and parts are readily available on ebay to keep them humming.

Really good review. Really liked your emphasis on riving knife usage. New verses old quite good. Another point on new is dust collection. A lot of improvements there. 👍👍👍👍👍 5 thumbs up. Good video. Thanks

Enjoyed the review. I have been looking at the new Delta 10 inch, gave my old to one of my sons. My brother in law has one of the Delta Unisaws for sale, he had brain surgery and can no longer use it. He lives in Colorado, too far for me to go after it, weighs 600 pounds. He wants to sale his entire shop equipment for what that saw cost new, good deal. Lives in Allen’s Park, covered in snow right now.

I thought I knew about saws, but that combo table/miter saw was a new one! Don't think I would want that in my shop!

The Skilsaw worm drive jobsite table saw is the absolute best multipurpose saw I have ever used in my 20years. After 2 years every day in the field it does not disappoint

The Matalbo / Hitachi saw is SO good ! Grizzled marketed it !! Sell the same saw !!

I have been interested in the DeWalt saw because of the geared fence system. I am going to replace my great Bosch that I have had for mabey 10 years . The other comments give advice that the geared fence isn't really that great. So I learned something from them & from you! It seems to me that the two most important things are a great blade and an accurate, stable fence. then a riving knife. I have looked at the Sawstop contractor saw several times, and besides cost, the fence locking device seemed to be a problem in that it was iffy when locating the fence. Not a good thing! Went to a different store and found the same problem. Why is that fence lockdown different from the one on their larger saws? I have never read about anyone else noticing this. I have had kickback three times, two of them missed me. The contraption on my older Bosch makes things more, not less dangerous. I am very happy with my MJ splitters, they do the job. My plan is for a Laguna Fusion F2, if they ever become available again. The trunion discussion here helped too.

Awesome video thank you brother 👍 I've been doing woodworking off and on since I was 13 or 14 and I'm looking for my first table saw- (compact or portable jobsite). Something like the Metabo would work but just wanted to see if there are other makes you recommend. I'm a DIYer and do occasional small projects and small home repairs. Definitely want 10-inch blade/15 amps but I'm also thinking and expandable table in case I need to rip large sheets. Don't need a huge rip capacity but I think it's good to have in case you need it. I was thinking about the Ryobi RTS12 because money is always the main issue, but I'm willing to spend $300 give or take to get something better. Merry Christmas and thank you! God bless!

If you want a cabinet saw and don't feel the need for a SawStop, I can recommend the Grizzly G1023 series. I have the G1023RLW for 18 months now. In terms of performance, it's every bit as good as the saws that are 2-3x the price. I've worked on much more expensive saws and frankly, the differences are neglible. Best safety upgrade for any saw with a T Fence, the Jessem stock guides. Best thing about these is how they eliminate fence deflection because they're mounted to the fence itself.

B E A R !!!!!!! Awesome video 👏👏👏!!! I’ve been looking for something (someone) to give me an honest answer to my “Table Saw” questions. Thanks so much for the straightforward information ! And kudos on the presentation(s) 👏👏👏! ! Great (in-biased) idea and it works VERY WELL !! I look forward to seeing more from you 👍! ! !

You should also take a look on the sliding table saws. Even if not speaking about the top of the line of Martin or Felder, they also have models starting at $3k . They makes big sheets ripping a lot easier and safer.

I love my Kobalt. The stand design is excellent.

I've become a huge fan of Ridgid over the years. They make a great product t us about 90% of the stuff they sell has a LIFETIME parts and labor warranty. What other big brand does that, none I know of. I just wish they made a full size cabinet saw. Great video, very well done and Informative

Excellent video and guide. Very comprehensive and informative

@denoftools I have that ridgid model and its a workhorse. But I have built in my work bench that's on wheels and provides a support for full size sheet goods.........shine on

Have a rigid jobsite saw, got it last year at homemdepot at black Friday. Love it

Just got one of those as well when they were on sale a few weeks ago for $299. Tough to beat $299 with the rolling stand.

@@RealWolfmanDan funny you should say that. HD messed up and shipped me two of them. I called CS and asked them what they wanted me to do and they said just keep it.

I have the older version of the Hitachi (Metabo) jobsite saw. It has the riving knife/guard that bolts into the back of the saw. I had it off to make some dado cuts, and forgot to put it back on right away. I got relocated and the bolt and washers went missing. It is a decent little saw, but if I got the version a year later, the riving knife/guard system changed and no longer bolted to the back of the saw. Would have much preferred that set up.

Why was in school we had a woodworking shop that used in Delta Rockwell from the 1970s, and to get around the fact that the table saw didn't have a riving knife the instructor used a block of wood to push the other pieces through wile covering his hands from the kickback from the blade. It acted as a stopper, because in the slotted area of the table he had a piece of wood, while the block actually had a groove to fit into the slotted area to make contact with the other piece of wood, or at least that's what I remember. He built the piece of wood to protect from the table saw because it didn't have a riving knife. It's kind of simple DYI to get around the kickback from the table saw not having a riving knife by just using a block of wood push the other piece of wood through the saw.

This is a great video! Interesting and useful information on table-saw related gadgets too!
