Ive watched many videos on building table saws etc, and what I like about yours......it was made out of 'bits' of wood, leftovers and what I found. And the fact that you made something, it was wrong, so you made again......excellent!! Exactly how I work!!! I am thinking of making a 'small' table but so I can interchange the saw with a router...a 2 in 1 table.......lets see how that goes!! So many videos with top of the range tools......new wood......huge space....you work the way I do, great job.

I really like what you have done here. I have been toying with the idea of making my own table saw now for a while. this method you have used seems to be the most practical of all that I have seen. This is the way to go but instead of attaching my saw to 3/4 ply I'll use a piece of 6mm aluminum plate inserted into 19mm marine ply, to give me even greater depth of cut. Thanks for the idea.

I love everything about this series. Your enthusiasm for minutiae is infectious and really wonderful! For whatever reason, your approach to building a homemade table saw is less intimidating than many I've watched. Thank you for sharing your mind with us!

This is the video I needed. I made a table saw a few months back and was so frustrated that I couldn’t get it square. I love your adjustment mechanisms. As a beginning woodworker I was feeling discouraged. I thought I had to align everything perfectly. Now I can do my best and adjust to fix it. Thanks so much for this video. My only suggestion would be showing the mechanisms more clearly. I watched over and over before I really understood how it all worked together.

Your idea of the bolt and lever to adjust the saw parallel to the fence is genius ! simple and yet so accurate ! Good job

This is a great sequel on building a table saw!!! I'm very inspired to build my own following your steps...

I love it to see people making woodworking machines from scratch!! And you do that in a entertaining and teaching way at the same time!! Go on like this. I'm wondering what comes next!?! :-D

A very well put together and a great idea. I have a major problem with space in my shop and you have inspired me. Thanks

I have watched a lot of videos like this one and, for me anyway, this has been the best. What I really like are the additions to adjust the alignment. Many other videos also give the ability to adjust the alignment, but this is the best of them. My only criticism is the background music. Whilst not a problem for many, I have a hearing defect and had to listen to the audio a few times to hear and understand it. Then I saw the transcript and this cleared everything up for me. A really well thought out and well put together presentation. Thankyou.

Great series. I am about to convert my old Triton 2000 series to a table saw and you have given me lots of ideas. Thanks. I will probably document my process on YT.

I think that's the best blade adjustment that I ever saw :)

I really love how you explain everything you do! plus the alignment system is pretty awesome. I'd love to see more and more.

Hi Barton, thank you for your comments :)

Awesome!! Wow! Very good instructions..Now I can build my table saw with more confidence. I couldn't figure out a way to adjust the blade like you did, so now I know. Thanks!!

Excellent thinking of a project, then adjustment until you reached perfection, Great job well done

this is beautiful. I've been looking for a way to build a tablesaw and whilst I saw other videos, they were cumbersome to set up and tear down. Your solution is so clever

Great work! This is probably the best job of making an adjustable DIY table saw I've seen so far. That said, it doesn't seem like you really gained all that much with the change from 1" to 3/4" material. Considering the stiffness of the actual saw base plate, and how close the insert plate tracks with the actual outline of the metal saw base plate, I'd suggest trying even thinner material (maybe 3/8") for hanging the saw.

I recently posted a comment on another woodworker's channel where he actually thanked me for being so courteous about my opinion. He had stated in his video that one of the reasons he had done a fund raiser was to be able to purchase a Saw Stop table saw. His opinion was that other woodworkers on KZread do not take you seriously if you are not using the best tools available on the market. I explained that I totally disagreed. In fact (I explained) that some of the most interesting and best channels were the ones were people actually made or modified tools to accomplish beautiful woodworking projects. I explained that one of my favorite channels is by a man who has dedicated himself to demystifying woodworking and believes that anyone with the desire to be a woodworker can...for less or about 1000.00 in equipment. If all I saw were videos from people who had 20,000.00 dollar shops worth of equipment I would have become immediately discouraged being new to woodworking, and would have decided against the hobby. Thank you for proving my point so beautifully, that is a fine and accurate table that you have there.

Good job... Keep it up. It's a pleasure to see someone getting on with just the resources they have available....

Dominic Giles thanks :)

All you gained there was 1/4" increase in cut depth. If you had a router, or you get one eventually, you can just use the 1" thick base and cut out 3/4" of it from the bottom so your saw will sit under just 1/4" of table. Mount it from underneath securely and you're good to go. If you remove the blade guard and cut away some metal from both sides of the top guard, you can add a 8 1/2" blade to the saw and get even more cut depth. Nice build though. I like how you cut out the saw guides in the table using the circular saw.

MrCougar214 hi, you are correct, I really didn't gain much depth of cut. One of my future plans is to build another insert that will position the saw's shoe flush with the table, so I could use its entire depth of cut.

This is excellent - learning never ends - i have to redo my insert to accomodate easy fine adjustments

I think you've done a wonderful job with building a table to saw, Just do not forget, it's not rocket science.I think it's good enough to build a home furniture, well done to you !!!

Great builds thanks very much. Given me the confidence to have a go myself.

just watched this Video, Impressed with your final set up of Saw, and so you can later use it as a router table, Good Idea with my new table saw after I finish the first jobs and making the fold down extensions will be able to add Router and Router Fence. I will be spending rest of afternoon adding to my design so can adjust saw to get blade perfectly square.

Best table saw build ive seen yet.... and ive watched nearly all of em lol

Joshua Kramer assuming the jig is aligned with the fence\miter slots, it checks the alignment of the blade against these.

Awesome uploads BTW. I will try to make it!

Der Akzent ist... na ja, aber das Video, einfach super! Danke.

Genial!! Parabens!! Muito bom!

yours is not complicated but accurate,great. i wonder whether the blade could keep square in any height?

Have you checked the dip in the table from the leftmost side to the rightmost?? I built a similar table out of 40mm MDF (an old worktop) and got about 2mm dip where the weight of the saw hung from the underside of the table and caused it to sag. I only realised it was like this when I measured the blade for squareness from BOTH sides of the blade and both sides were showing

Very neat work!

Very useful and interesting - thank you 👍

Your math is definitely better than your woodworking :) Nice idea, attaching the circular saw to a piece of plywood and increase blade depth. Thanks.

Very good job !! But, how do you remove the sawdust from the saw casing ?? When the circular saw is thus placed upside down, does'nt the sawdust accumulate in the housing ??

I want to see how you bild the bench drill. This table is brilliant

Great work

Great job man. I tried to cut through 18 mil Plywood bcos I wanted to change the top on my table saw but the cut came through crooked. I did something wrong and went back to the old top but now I'm building a whole new saw. I hope to have it ready to go by next month. It's not easy working out the details but I'm getting there my friend. U built a really nice saw there. I have Bosch 190mm GKS type. It's a nightmare to use and it weighs a tonne. I out a lovely Freund blade on it. The blade struggles to cut through weak particle board. I must be doing something wrong with the saw or maybe the blade is wrong. I bought one of those ACCU CUT things and paid 60 quid for the blade. It's the most expense I've paid out for a blade and I'm very disappointed with it. I bought SAXTON BLADES 254mm for my table saw and the cut is so clean it beggars belief bcos they're the cheapest ones they make at less than 20 euros each. I should've tried to get a couple of blades form them 190mm but I couldn't find any on Amazon.. Keep up te great work bro and my apologies for my longwinded rant about blades.. LOL

Nice work sir please keep it up

Muito bom. Criatividade pura.

Hi! I loved your video, and your way of explaning alll this. I am making a very much similar machine using the structure of a schools desk that was given to me. As I am a zero on maths, and I for see that I will have big troubles to square the blade, and I will have another chapter of troubles to make perfect square when I instal that guide that stands parallel to the blade. Maybe I'll use a piece of aluminum i got around here. I think I may have a solution for squaring this piece, but I can not explain it on words only!! My saw it self will stay ON a rectangular ''base'', and the table will be all around it, as this way It will not loose much of the circle. About squaring the fence relatively to the saw blade, that will be another ''battle''...

Bravo... molto molto bello !!!

This is an incredible worth for money [Link Here== *TopFineWoodworking. Com* ]. I have been looking for something like this for quite a while now. I'm happy there are opportunities like this out there. This woodwork plan made a clear presentation with regards to building sheds. Much thanks to you.?

A lot of interesting ideas :)

Good work !

I would rather buy a table saw after watching your video OMG. You made it very complicated for most of the folks out there i am pretty sure.

Hey, thanks for the very prompt reply , although it is night in my side of the word, thanks agains and will look forward to see the link ,

Makes me want to rush out and buy a circular saw so I can make a table saw! That would expand my toolkit to a screwdriver and drill and a table saw!

Great attention to detail. Rare to find a woodworking video that goes to such lengths to achieve (almost) perfect alignment of the blade and your method is smart. Well done. Is this your only table saw or do you use a store-bought table saw as your main saw and this one just for fun? I do see a lot of people making their own table saws, but I wonder whether it's more a hobby or to save money. You can buy a good table saw for a few hundred pounds and I wonder whether it's really worth it to make my own. But definitely a nice project and challenge.

No, this is my only table saw. You can't get good table saws for cheap where I live, but I mostly built it for the fun of it. Thanks for the comment.

As I'm doing this myself as we speak it dawned on me that the blade alignment problem is the weight of the motor. The saw was never meant to be used upside down, so when It is gravity pulls the heavy motor down creating the mis-alignment.

awesome stuff

What about sawdust? Does it stuck inside blade guard? Would you use the same saw if you were doing this project again?

great idea.... i love it

Would like to ask the specs of circular saw u used. Thank you.

Good work..

EXCELLENT!!!!

well done and thank you

Nice job !!!!

Whatabout the thickness of the sawblade when it the blade is a little dull, you need more force to push the wood through the saw, and when your sawblade is thin ( for example 1.6 mm) it will tilt to the left, so that you sawpiece is not square !

I like how you made the drill press if you don't mind asking, i like to see a video of how to make the drill press that you have on the video mention on the saw video thanks
