Before I was able to set up my first shop I spent forever watching videos and reading blogs and magazines about woodworking and soaking up all the pro advice I could.... imagine my surprise when I bought my first table saw and after putting it together I flipped through the rest of the manual and there was a technique section. No joke, all the supposed "old pro trade secrets and tips" that I'd spent a year scouring for that folks acted like is stuff you need to take a class or spend tons of time researching for was literally in the box with my first saw. That and after a few times of having a tool for months (or years) and then noticing there's a little feature on it I'd missed the whole time that would've made so many jobs so much easier if I'd known it was there but I didn't even skim the manual because "I know how to use one of these.." ...yeah, now I make it a habit of at least giving them a flip through, especially the features/controls/techniques sections.

Just bought my first miter saw. Based on my circ and recip saws (nevermind countless other videos I've watched in doing research) I know the included blades are always garbage, so I bought a Diablo 80 tooth to go with it. I have some baseboards to cut and I'm building some closet shelving...and eventually a small deck. I'm hoping I made the right blade choice, and this vid is leading me to believe I did. I haven't opened it yet. Still thinking maybe I should've gotten the 100 because of the baseboards.

Amazingly informative! I have not seen such competent explanations about sawblades anywhere. Usually its a bunch of dufases rambling on about nothing with banjo music playing. I appreciate the explanation on the miter saw blades and the scoring, and WHY. Question: so the 24 tooth and 80 tooth ply/melamine blades are given, and then crosscuts should be done on a miter saw anyways. Given that, for just making unpolished stuff when in a hurry, would you recommend a 40 or 60 tooth combination blade (such as when a quick crosscut is needed!)

Thank you very much!

For 10 & 12 inch blades, get the Freud 92 to 100+ tooth and use it for about everything. Whether I'm cutting a 6x6 oak block on the miter saw, or aluminum slotted extrusion, that blade (Freud LU85R012) does it ALL! Rarely do I need a different blade. Now if I'm cutting certain woods, I use CMT blades. But the Freud, or even their less costly, Diablo series, are great. (Their router bits on the other hand... ouch. Avoid Diablo and go Freud or CMT. A piece of spinning carbide flying off a 18,000 rpm shaft is no fun.)

Great video. I do have one question. Say I was going to build a in\out feed, or parts table out of extruded aluminium, what blade would you recommend? With the width being only 1.5" max.

@YouCanMakeThisToo

3 жыл бұрын

Blades for laminates typically are good for aluminum. You're looking for high tooth count and preferably a TCG grind. Freud and Diablo used to have a blade for non-ferrous metals, I bet they still do.

Ive already seen over 5 videos about circular blades and this video by far explains the Best compared to those videos And my instructors on why we cut certain ways rather than just brushing off as "everyone has their own style/preference"

@YouCanMakeThisToo

8 ай бұрын

Unless you're changing the blade out multiple times a day, and using it every day, I wouldn't worry about any wear on that screw. And if that doesn't convince you, just buy another saw :) I'm a believer in dedicated blades, but it depends. If everything you're working with is construction grade stuff, it really doesn't matter. But if you're talking about switching between cross cutting a table slab from $2000 worth of material, to ripping a $300 board, to breaking down a $150 sheet of plywood. Then yeah, to me it's worth having dedicated blades that do the best work on each of those materials.

Where should old saw blades be safely disposed of? How to do it?

Car! Game on!

Thanks for the advice. Your video was very helpful. I was wondering if I was using the wrong blade sometimes because some of my cuts felt like I was cutting through extremely dense wood. It would just take longer than I thought it should on both my table saw and my Miter saw. Watching some people cut on TV etc ... their blades and cutting movements just seem to be quicker and smoother (Like cutting through butter, as they say) While on my table saw just ripping a long piece of wood I am just pushing & pushing and have to jump to the other side to pull the wood through. It cuts clean but it's just a little frustrating sometimes. The same with my miter saw, sometimes cutting straight down it just feels like a heavy push down instead of just a quick smooth down & back up. So I will look for a lot of the things you mentioned. Blades with more teeth and the right angles right?

@YouCanMakeThisToo

4 жыл бұрын

If your saw is cutting extremely slow my first thought is you have a dull blade. If you're specifically struggling with ripping and the blade is sharp.. then you're probably cutting with a crosscut blade, and need a lower tooth rip blade, or a combination blade.

Partially, but doesn’t change the tooth geometry which helps shear the fibers instead of ripping them.

Yeah, it was right around 1985 when I bought my radial arm saw for about a quarter of what they retailed for. That old saw did the job of a miter saw/sliding miter saw and quite a few other operations such as molding head cutter. Very handy saw if you know what you're doing with it. I checked out this video cause I wanted to know what blade you recommended for it. I'm guessing that you'd say the same negative rake angle blade as for the miter saw, but then I guess I'll never know now will I?

I'd just get a general construction blade for whatever kind of saw you're using. The resin in pine and all the additives are going to toast the blade anyway.. and because of how wet it tends to be, high tooth count isn't going to be very beneficial because the wood is going to try to pinch the blade pretty quick, you want something fast cutting.

Later in the video I talk about rake angle and why theirs are different.

Don't toss your blades becuase the label is worn. Take it to a sharpening service. They probably use the same machine to sharpen it that the manufacturer uses to make it. If it isn't worth sharpening they'll let you know. Diablo can 1000% be resharpened. They're only going to take like .15mm off of the tooth od and face. If you are worried a blade being used for the wrong job w/o the label then mark it with a sharpie. If it gets resharpened and that marking was washed away through the cleaning service then remark it.

Ya lost me at "just throw it away and buy another one." Like you can't or shouldn't clean or sharpen your dull saw blade and still have a perfectly fine working and performing saw blade.

Maybe he means by that point you should toss it becuase it's total tooth size is too small to bother with another resharpening??? Dunno. 3mm is the point in which a tooth may have indexing problems on resharpening machines (which are usually the exact same machine used to make a blade). You'd probably still have a long way to go in a blade when the lable is worn off.
