Everyone thinks you need a multi-thousand dollar table saw to do professional-level woodworking but you can get clean and accurate results with just a couple of simple jigs. Here are the 3 jigs I think every woodworker should start out with on a table saw to get better results.
Thanks to today's sponsor The Home Depot for making videos like this possible. You can find links to some of the awesome items I used in this video at the links below.

Although I have made these jigs before, it's always good to watch other techniques. An example is that I always made my runners the same depth as the slots. Your idea works much better!

@patrickfouhy9102 4 жыл бұрын

That was awesome. I'm a fairly experienced woodworker, but I've always worked for people who had every tool and jig imaginable so I've never needed much to get my work done. Lately, I've moved to a new city, and my collection of quite basic tools makes it a bit of a challenge to complete many of the jig building videos online because almost all of them require a half a dozen tools I don't have. haha. Thanks for making this so someone starting out in their tool collection can play along as well.

Most shops don't really know what they are selling and are more interested in moving the items out of the shop.

Not really. I have a HF saw I got for around $50 new, years ago. Crap, right? I make saw sleds for my sawing and I get dead on cuts with them. Also I put a bridge over the blade so the only way my fingers could get bit by the blade is if I laid my hand flat, and slid it under the bridge. Also put stops on front and back, so the blade never shows, and impossible to get cut. I value my fingers, this guy apparently has fingers to spare.

Try routing out a grove and using a yard stick as an "inlay." I did the same thing on a fence extension I did for my miter saw and I'll be doing it with an assembly table I'm building soon. I would recommend cutting off a quarter inch so the edge isn't riding next to the blade on every cut. Also, use the aluminum yard sticks. They won't wear as fast as the wooden ones and the material is soft enough to cut with an old miter saw blade.

Just some advice. Love the jigs! Thanks

@WoodWorkLIFE 4 жыл бұрын

I usually raise the blade until the gullets are even with the surface but with plywood higher blade setting reduces tearout. Not great for safety, but I steer clear of the blade.

@LordPadriac 4 жыл бұрын

It is a never settled argument over what blade height above the wood is best or safest. The only real benefit to having the blade super low is less blade exposed to the user. However if we're using using proper techniques and push sticks and the like then having the blade higher isn't really any safer than having the blade lower. Also using a blade guard makes the argument against having the blade too high to reduce the chance of blade contact a completely moot point anyway. The argument for having the blade higher is that you have less teeth in contact with the work at any given time reducing the friction the blade has against the wood which reduces the overall forces trying to push the wood off of the saw top.

@uuuultra 4 жыл бұрын

When making a wooden throat plate, always have the top grain running parallel with the blade. It's a small detail, but it does make for smoother cuts. Another trick is to saturate the cut edges of the ply to stabilize the laminates; makes it much more durable.

@@1995rwt I am afraid you are badly informed my friend. Perhaps take a look on KZfaq for videos about severed hands and fingers as a result of kickback accidents - if you have the stomach for it. Kick back can throw work back at you causing severe injury or death, but equally drag your hand into the blade. I would also say that those wedded to zero clearance throat plates and no riving knife do not routinely change their setup for different thickness materials. I sometimes remove the top guard on my machine for groove cuts, but never the riving knife. That is reckless, but of course you are entitled to put your own safety on the line if you choose to do so.

Chris Elliott anyone using something incorrectly is libel to injure themselves. What is the point of a zero clearance insert other than to better handle stock that would normally get caught between the throat plate and the blade, or maybe even between the throat plate and the riving knife. I’ve seen kickback before, experienced it once thankfully to no personal injury. I’ve also cleaned bits of fingertips out of jointers before, I get how dangerous tools can be but a zero clearance insert with a riving knife won’t work for the thing that zero clearance inserts are useful for which is ripping thin veneers out of larger boards.

when cutting narrow pieces cut about half the length of the board shut off power flip board end over end and finish cutting the strip. You never have to get close to the blade. Your welcome.

They make amazing push blocks for this also. Stopping and starting on a peice is just asking for a higher chance for tear out.

Not to beat a dead horse but "Whip Whip!". I am still healing from losing the top 1/4 of my left index finger from a table saw injury. I appreciate the video but man, careful. I am 47 and never thought I would be one with a stubby finger from a table saw. "Wont happen to me". well...

I worked with 2 guys named Ernie and they both cut their left thumbs off. Be careful if your name is Ernie.

Hate to pick on nits, but those little round thingies you called "bolts" at 1:31 - most of the world calls those nuts. But hey, maybe it's just me - I'm the nutty one...

Try using a medium or thick superglue; thin glue wicks into wood and irks best on reinforcing things that are already together while medium and thick both work more like traditional wood glues. I use Maxi-Cure CA glue which is thick and with or whiteout activator works great. I use it quite a bit in woodworking and buy 8 oz. at a time which runs $12 or so on Amazon
