There are millions of people that used a table saw with no riving knife and no guard and have all of their body parts. Sadly that is the part of the problem as they show others and say "It never happened to me before","I know what I'm doing", "I'll be extra careful", "guard removed for filming...

Ah so you're cutting inside the circle template? (assuming I read that right) Much easier to stuff that up if the bit you want is what's left inside the template. If you want the circle ideally you want to be routing the outside of something, routing inside only needs a tiny error and it will...

Dee's solution should do well. I assume for your template you were trying to route around the outside of something stuck down to the ply?

This doubling as an outfeed table appeals greatly. Nice!

I have a few short sections of cleats on my wall where a window is due to be installed. I prefer the look of them to peg board though they do ask a little more of your time to make a tool stay on it than a pegboard. It is very nice just having things there and to hand when you want them assuming...

After fitting oak tops in my kitchen 4 years ago I kept the leftovers as so many do and never use them. I then used one on top of a shop bought bathroom cabinet and another under a surface mount sink in a weird 70 degree corner of another bathroom. All that remains are a few smaller chunks and I...

Just a quicky really. Make a 600mm long cut on your tablesaw to any width that you can chuck in your calipers, so say 100 or 150mm. How wide is the cut piece at either end? Are they identical? 0.1mm out? More? Also, how much runout do you have on your blade? I only ask as this Sip I picked up...

I just about got confident with the bricks as soon I ran out of bricks to lay :LOL:

Our 900mm wide Neff induction has been going strong for 4 years now, no option for 3 phase supply though. So few houses here have it. Wouldn't swap induction hob for any other options. Easy to clean, easy to use. While my electrician wire the house up, he did not do the final run to the hob or...

Make cutting boards. Half the work is already done!

I got somewhere, I think? Once I'd finally gotten into the workshop this afternoon I set about checking things out once more using my dial indicator. I started again at blade alignment to the slots. Both slots I was happy with a consistent 0.03mm max difference for alignment. Next was runout...

The 12 led panels in my 'shap are very very nice indeed.

Well I'd love to say Its all tuned up and finished but alas not. A lot of faffing around and backache was achieved though. I manaded to set up my dial indicator to measure the blade runout. On the 250mm blade fitted there is a 0.15mm (6 thou) runout. I marked the blade, arbour and flange so I...

230kg is only 2 rugby players. Not a weight I'd be worried about from a "dropping through the floor" perspective. Landing on me as I'm carrying him up the stairs on the other hand is an different matter!

I'd work on the basis that you're going to have to fettle it from the factory anyway, so don't get anyone crushed and just take it up in bits.

Are you doing anything above the blade?

We'll I've been having a go and it seems like it'll do the job nicely. On some test bits of birch ply (the first in my workshop and it came with the saw :ROFLMAO: ) I do have a slight variance when measuring the width of the boards cut. Its about .2-.3mm wider at one end than the other...

Thats the main unit done. I still need to sort a drawer out but have no hardware on hand so maybe I'll do it the old fashioned way. I re mounted the belt sander so that it could flip over without needing to be tilted up as it was yesterday. Apart from that it all came together ok. Might put...

I have power and the insert the previous owner made has been refitted to actually allow the riving knife. Time to have a go. They have time till I'm ready! ha.

Just the leftovers! No grand plan behind it haha.
