My old craftsman was grabbed from the scrap pile twenty years ago and fitted very quickly with an eight ft table and has been my “portable” lol for mainly siding in all forms and especially soffit and facia work in aluminum. It fits nicely in my suburban and once on a job site and set up it provides a nice work table for bending, will cut full width soffit in multiple layers. The length is easily marked on the cut side and support on the other. It also becomes your go to for ripping anything on the job site. It’s beat up and just barely maybe sorta square but it’s been used to cut thousands of feet of product. This attachment is awesome! I have another saw that is in much better shape that would need to be set up properly for accurate safe work on heavier materials in the shop. Certainly an undervalued tool that with an unwarranted scary reputation. Man what a great attachment!

You are running in a way that could pull the piece away from the fence. You are making adjustments to the wood with the tool, not in the stored and safe position. Starting on the right would pull the wood towards the fence and make it so you pull to cut and push the tool back to the safe position to adjust the wood. You are not being safe and waiting for an accident. Don't make videos unless you know what you are doing. At least put a disclaimer so you don't get sued when someone cuts off their arm..
@noequus14947 ай бұрын
If the planer is spinning CCW from above (which it apparently is), won't starting on the right do the opposite of what your post says? In any case, as he explains in the early part of the video the planer the setup he used pushes the work towards the fence.

Very good video, thanks for making it. I have on order a 29513 rotary planer (eBay $42 total) to use with my Rockwell (Delta) radial arm saw. I appreciate your measurement of the planer hex nut recess, my arbor nut is 1.0" wide so it will fit. I have a similar Craftsman rotary planer (9-2745) for my drill press , JT33 mount, but for several reasons it's not very useful nor safe to use, and this planer will replace it. And I do have a molding guard for my radial saw. But, please please lose your long sleeves and wedding ring. I don't mind you not having a guard because if you contact the rotating planer body with your skin not much will happen, but it is so easy for fabric to get snagged by a rotary tool. Years ago I had a farmer uncle and he was using his tractor with a towed implement driven by a rotating power takeoff shaft (PTO), with no guard, sin number 1. For some reason he stopped and dismounted his tractor while the PTO was still rotating at idle speed, sin number 2. Somehow the PTO snagged his pants leg. Fortunately he was able to quickly grab onto a tractor wheel and hang on for dear life while the PTO rapidly undressed him. He was wearing bib overalls, the loose fitting kind with shoulder straps, and the shoulder straps easily gave way. If he had been wearing pants with a belt or full body coveralls he would have been a goner. Just goes to show you.

Good God man. I did not expect your story to end this way. as soon as you mentioned him dismount with PTO spinning, I was wincing, and reading with on eye covered. I was not looking forward to reading how it twisted his leg off at the hips ball joint with zero mercy, and greedily kept right on spinning, like nothing had happened, while your uncle lie in a bloody mess, shocked, and getting colder as he lost more blood. His boot making a dragging sound with every rotation of the PTO shaft, as it were Satan's very own metronome, until finally the old Massey,(or whatever) took her final sips of the remaining diesel in her tank, a few last chugs, followed by a loud unlady like belch. You uncle long since expired. I did not want to read anything like that, but I Couldn't look away. I'm so glad all he got was a new pair of overalls. If he is still alive, have a beer with that man, and let him know how much he means to you. I think he'd like that a lot. Even if that is not his "thing". Hope all is well.

I have a small collection of Dewalt radial arm saws cresting with an R2 which someday I'd like someone to explain to me what they were thinking about with that one? One thing I would Advocate when using a radial saw with the blade parallel to the table is to take a pair of 3 ft 2 by 6 and put them together in either a t or an L configuration so that if a carbide tooth snaps it will rather than dig a hole in your abdomen will bounce terrifyingly but harmless off of the L or t shaped guard between you and it. Slightly annoying that it's directly between you and the saw but better than asking neighbor to take you to the emergency room. Your hands would do well with having a protective glove in case the tooth is determined to get you somewhere. The world is out to get you it is not paranoia!

I know this is an old video but if anyone is still watching this, PLEASE take note of the serious danger this gentleman is in with unbuttoned cuffs/loose shirt-sleeves as he reaches his arm past a powerful spinning blade to reset the board for each each pass, particularly as he nears the end and gets closer to the blade. This is exactly how serious shop accidents happen, not from sticking your hand into a tool, but by something you never thought of, like a loose sleeve. Rotary machines catch clothing every day in workshops, and it's not pretty. And it happens to experienced woodworkers just as it does to inexperienced ones.
