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.

I have to always remember to put on a bib to catch my drool when I see Franks workshop !!

I’m glad I’m not the only one playing games with disappearing/reappearing 1/8” height differences on heavy equipment

I have always liked Frank's giant table of table saws in the center of the workshop, looks awesome and must be nice to have so many options :)

I look forward to the day when you finally complete the setup by getting a fourth table saw and replacing the last remaining plywood extension table!

Three table saws. Two Franks. Two videos in one. I think that equals a great woodworker/KZreadr!❤

Best wishes from Poland,👋

I believe the grinding stone strategy works best when you: 1) make contact between the stone and the arbor flange, and then 2) raise and lower the arbor flange with the handwheel. This ensures that you aren't just grinding in the rough profile of your stone into your flange. The raising and lowering of the flange is what makes that interface nice and flat. But glad you got something to work out anyways!

There aren't many cabinet shops that have 4 table saws, let alone home woodshops. That is quite the setup you have there. Many options for dedicated setups.

I think that Oliver is nearly the size of the Tannewitz we have. I suspect it’s a little newer, but just as robust. Love the video, and all your maneuverings with the crane!

I came across that exact saw when I ran a shop in Kansas City back in the 80's. It was complete, fence, two miter gauges with the bracket that tied them together, the extension table, and even the manual. Built like a milling machine. Oliver was still in business in Grand Rapids at the time. I got the spec sheets from them. It could handle an 18" blade and a 4" wide dado head! I shudder to even think about that. Good to see another one!

This reminded me of Dwight from the Office making his megadesk. 'Getting more megasaw'.

Must be a huge help having yourself around the shop, I knew it was just a matter of time before Frank figured out how to clone himself.

Well done! During the whole video I was thinking: "What a strange name for a tablesaw : Paramedic. But at the end I could read the correct name Powermatic. ;-) I find it always such a relief watching your videos! Like John Cleese used to say : "And Now Something Totally Different! ". Thank you for sharing.

A scene shop I used to work at had an Oliver 270 from the mid 60's and what a pleasure it was to use. The cast base just soaked up vibrations.

I have a 1955 DeWalt that looks very much like yours. Had the motor apart for cleaning. Takes forever to slow down after cutting power - adding a circuit to help with that. Good video - thanks for posting.

Hey Frank, I enjoy your videos and thought I would drop you a note regarding table saws and on/off switches. On my table saw I installed a push button switch (momentary) that was easy to find on the front of the saw that pulled in a relay to actually start the saw. A second contact on the relay held it energized. To stop the saw I put a kick plate just above the floor that was attached to the front of the saw. A normally closed switch was attached behind the kick plate, so that when the kick plate was kicked, the switch opened and dropped out the motor relay. No need to try to find the on/off switch, just kick the kick plate. I kept the regular start/stop push button for a safety shut off when the saw was not in use. Just a thought, again, always enjoy your videos.

Yes, I was thinking of making a wood piece to go over the switch with a hole in it. I could push the on button through the hole and I can hit a entire wood piece with my knee or foot to turn it off.

Three integrated table saws, novel. I really enjoyed seeing the old Dewalt cut-off saw. It's been around a long time and was the workhouse in our shop back in the late 50's-60's. Yep---I'm an 'ol-timer

In some ways, I’m glad to see that I came up with the same solution a few years ago with the arbor. I chucked up a grinding stone in my router and it helped take out the high spots (dents and impacts) fairly well. But I didn’t come up with such a thorough jig that you made. My Powermatic is also from the 60’s and it’s seen a bit of work. For me, the real fix turned out to be the coulet under the nut securing the blade to the arbor. It was smaller diameter than the one that I’d machined with the grinding wheel and in effect, it was bowing the blade when tightened down. Once I’d had a part machined that matched the arbor, the blade was straight and true. Love your videos because I enjoy seeing how a real pro engineers things.

Frank, its ok to say it. We all know this move was to be able to play with the new fancy electronic fence xD

That Oliver saw is a beast. It absolutely dwarfs the Powermatic 66. Nice compact setup with the three saws now. Thanks for sharing!

Amazing!

Looks good brother..

Worked out great, Frank. Getting the best shop layout is one of the hardest things and never ending. Bill

Love your editing skills

I'm having trouble setting up one cabinet saw in my shop. I cannot imagine trying to set up three.🙂🙂

I thoroughly enjoyed watching your thought-process and ingenuity. I have used the "raise one side of the saw (jointer, planer, etc.)" and attempt to kick a pad under the base, hoping for the best. One day when it wasn't working out too well, after a 3rd cup of coffee, I turned 2 parallel clamps heads around to make parallel spreaders. With a 1300 pound clamping spec, I figured they should be strong enough to lift one side of the saw. It worked great. With 2 "spreaders", one near each corner, they easily lifted the saw. Also, it was easy to fine tune the height. Good luck, stay safe. Thx.

I was expecting to hear that you checked the planer and found the cut depth needed recalibration after the recent head change, but how banal! Glad to see a nice solid old machine back in active service.

Great to have a helper sometimes!

Hi, Frank.. I always seeing you fighting with your radial arm saw... Here is one suggestion. Make the pully from the counterweight rope bigger.. The bigger, the better. This is a lesson which i learned on my Homemade panel saw build. Greets from Germany.

@idontthinkso666

Жыл бұрын

He's not struggling, at least, not in the way you think. And he has the counterweight you describe. I recall Frank commenting in another video that he didn't bother with installing negative-rake blades on his radial arm saws (look it up). Without that, and by using a saw blade built for a conventional table saw (positive rake) you are fighting the radial arm saw's natural inclination to grab and accelerate through the wood--very unsafe. Essentially, the difference between have the saw above the workpiece (radial arm saw) and below the workpiece (table saw). So Frank compensates by pushing the saw as it pulls through the cut, resulting in that awkward cutting behavior. I had to do the same thing until I switched to negative-rake blades on my radial arm saw. They are expensive and can't be used on a table saw, so many radial arm saw owners don't bother.

Love the video’s. I could not remember if that was a saw you made a video picking it up years ago. Gives me something to watch while recovering from spine fusion

I don't think I've ever made a video about that saw. I made one about picking up my planer.

If you raise whatever your lifting above the legs of the crane or engine hoist or whatever, you can the place some beams across the legs and lower the item onto the beams. That way your crane becomes a trolley, the item can't drop and doesn't swing around as you're moving. Once you get close, lift, take the beams out and off you go. Much easier and safer that way...

great video , you probably already know bends ,elbows and flex pipe put a drag on the dust collection system, in other words a loss of suction .I notice behind the table saws in the end of the video. I have an Oneida system very good.

Good to see your identical twin brother helping out. Trouble Is, it's hard to discern who is who of the two...

You now need remote controlled blast gates so the dust collection is directed as needed. I saw manual blast gates but those must be quite a pain to reach.

Frank, maybe some modifications can be made to your 'crane'. Would make a good video. If you make a swing arm for the hoist so you can manipulate loads inside it support footprint, you'll get more utility out of it.

Frank, I’m sure it so nice to have your tablesaw, excuse me two tablesaws, oh sorry three tablesaws, (phewww) working in perfect harmony with each other. You might just sit up on top of them in the center for your zen meditation ….haha>

To grind my arbor flange I did the same thing except I used a lollipop type ball stone in the router. With the router and saw running and arbor perpendicual with the table top crank the blade down just bellow the flange and bump the router over to just barely touch the stone to the grinder. Now with both router and saw running slowly crank the blade arbor up and down then bump the router over just a little bit at time and keep cranking the arbor up and down until there are no more sparks. After several passes the arbor will run true. Note: make sure the arbor bearings are good before doing this or results will be bad.

When I was in the Navy working with millwrights, they only shimmed with metal. It was non-compressible and performed better than wood or plastic or other softer materials.

My first table saw required me to set the rip fence using a tape measure. After owning my Powermatic with an accurate ruler built into the fence I still feel like it is automatic. Not seeing the need to go electronic on the fence setting.

For minor height adjustments of heavy things (e.g. upright piano, thickness planar) I use two "Winbag"s.

That hole was threaded!
