his knowledge base absolutely blows my mind.

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 kzread.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.

It's simply astounding to me the level of mastery you have as a presenter and educator. The delivery of clear, concise technical instruction is a discipline that has baffled mortal man since time immoral and without doubt the is a highly technical subject. They say analogy is the key to learning but it's rare to see someone build their own analogy out of plywood and set it 10 degrees off axis so they can teach a concept. It is a privilege and absolute pleasure to have you as our teacher.

Learned all this 45 years ago in shop class in high school. The shop teacher was surprised when I dialed in the table slot to "half a thou". I was not happy with that half of a thousandth of an inch that the table was off. In my 15 year old brain, zero meant zero. That's when I learned about acceptable tolerance. It's a shame so many schools have eliminated Industrial Arts from their curriculum. Not everyone is going to be a surgeon or a computer programmer. Shop classes teach lessons that can carry over into many other facets of life.

Nick Engler is a national treasure. On par with Click and Clack, the Tappet brothers.

NCRs gone its now part of IBM IBM and NCR are the same company just different devisions I grew up in Dayton I also knew about the Wright Brothers shop and the airplane , but ill have you know the Wright Brothers might not have been the first to fly. There is speculation somone from Europe did it first, and Leonardo the artist might have done it years before anyone else. History's pretty cool. I love the design of the saw s tilting table seemes like a better option, oh but the same ideas were used on a shopsmith mark V also made in Dayton. Why is it so many cool things came from Dayton? Or that part of Ohio .

Nick your way of explaining tablesaw alignment procedures is awesome. Funny, articulate and thoroughly done. Thank you as always!

Best explanation I ever saw on KZread. My compliments

Been maintaining tables saws for 40 years and I use a machined dead flat 10" parallel disk with 5/8 arbor hole, with a runout gauge. Never never never considered the actual run-out of the saw blade itself. Lost count of how many times I went to square the blade after making miter cuts or prior to starting a new project after the saw sitting idle. Will be checking the current blade today. Thanks

the use of computer graphics to show the inner workings is priceless. Great videos, always!!

Dear Woodshop Companion. The breadth and depth of your experience - which I assume comes from decades and decades of experience (I too an an ole' timer so please take that as a compliment from an older brother, and not an insult) is breathtaking to behold. I did fine woodworking for 7 yrs in my youth but abandoned the hobby for university (big mistake - even though I do well, I am not happy) as an apprentice then journeyman under a master craftsman and even he did not have the wellspring of knowledge and skill that you possess. Long story short. I am returning to my first love, so dedicated am I that I did spend a small fortune building up my shop and have been watching multiple pros like yourself to both "break off the rust" - it's not like riding a bike) and learn new skills. Of my list of 16 subscriptions to very fine woodworkers you sir are by far my very favorite. Please do not retire from this channel soon.

I'm convinced that woodworking -- both as a craft and an engineering science -- has suffered massively over the last century from the "recipe" approach we have taken to teaching it. Working wood is easer, more satisfying, more creative -- and much safer -- when you know the why's that go with the what's.

Despite measuring and re-setting the angle of my table saw blade with a variety of squares and digital tools, I couldn't for the life of me cut a true 45-degree miter. It was always very slightly off regardless of what any of my measuring devices said to the contrary. After learning about marking the blade runoff from this video, I got a perfect miter after one attempt. Never would have considered that myself, but it makes so much sense once you point it out. Thanks so much for the guidance!

I’ve also never seen someone explain bad tolerance and how to find it before. Can you do bandsaws next?

Well explained Nick, but you overlooked an adjustment. Tuned as you did, you'll get excellent results when the blade is square to the table. Tilt the blade (or in your case the table) and you may be less satisfied with the results. This is because if the axis of rotation that the trunnion rotates around when tilting the blade isn't parallel to the table, the distance between the blade and fence, miter slot, and table surface will be different front-to-rear when the blade is tilted. I had a saw with this problem some 30 years ago and it took me months figure out why my angles were spot on with the blade at 90, and always slightly off when the blade was tilted. I was pretty frustrated before I finally figured it out. This alignment is achieved by doing everything you did, then tilting the blade to 45 and checking the miter slot to blade distance again. If there's a difference, it's necessary to adjust the alignment of the trunnion to the table by inserting shims. On a cabinet saw it's pretty easy because the shims go between the cabinet and the top. Loosen the bolt at the corner that needs shimming, insert the shim(s), then tighten that bolt again. That will allow shimming without loosing the other adjustments you already made. (You can loosen a second bolt if necessary, but keep at least two tight or you may lose previous adjustments.) On a contractor saw, like I had at the time, the shims need to go between the trunnion and the top. It's a real pain because when you loosen the bolts to insert the shims, the arbor alignment gets moved too. Prepare for some frustration. If you're happy with the cuts you get when the blade is tilted, don't mess with this adjustment, but if not, it might solve the problem.

Now I need to dedicate some time and effort to ensure my saw becomes a valuable friend. One area of distress that you might be able to advise on - how to clear sawdust from inside the saw.

Most welcome. A well-designed saw should be impervious to the effects of sawdust -- sealed bearings, self-clearing threads, etc. I say that, but there are certain woods that when reduced to a fine dust will load onto the interior parts of a machine despite the best engineering. From time-to-time, you just have to get inside the saw cabinet with an air compressor and a wire brush. It's a pain, but it's a must for good maintenance. Religiously turning the vacuum on when using the saw will extend the time between cleanings, but nothing can prevent them completely.
