One of your best...no incessant rambling like some folks, just straightforward and simple.

These 5 min beginner videos are an excellent idea Colin!

As someone just getting in to Woodworking, I really appreciate this video - succinct, well paced, well produced and informative.  Looking forward to seeing more of what you've got.

Great tutorial! I've been afraid to use my table saw because of an experience with kickback...now I know why! THANKS!

Man, I am sure there were a lot of fingers lost before Youtube came along. Guys like you, Steve Ramsey, Stumpy Nubs, Izzy Swan and many more all have excellent tips for setting up and using a table saw. Everything from waxing your table saw, to keeping a small square handy to make sure your blade is a true 90 degrees to wearing safety glasses. Thanks for this very useful information.

I have watched so many videos about this stuff and might guys are just hard to watch; they tell too much about stuff I don't care about, get off topic or whatever. But Colin is so easy to watch and let's face it, he's 3/4 genius. Great stuff.

Thnx Colin. Even if you're working a little longer with a tablesaw, it still is good to be reminded every now and again.. and again!

I've had my saw sitting in my garage for 2 years afraid to touch it. I own and use every other kind of saw but this one was just terrifying to me until now! Wow thank you so much! helpful!!

Wish I'd seen this last month. Got a kickback full force in my stomach from a slab of plywood..Hospital trip...fortunately, no real damage. but bruising and pain for some time. Lesson learnt..the hard way. Watch most of your Vids Colin..All very helpful. Thanks.

Thank you so much! I’m just starting out with woodworking and your video was the perfect introduction to the table saw. Just subscribed so that I can watch all your videos!

I"m a freshman in highschool at the moment, and I was given 10 minutes to study before given a 34 question test on how to safely use a table saw in my work working class. I passed with 31 out of 34. Thanks, mate.

[leswilson]

Thank you. I needed that. I bought a new table saw 6 months ago and have yet to use it. It still scares me. This helped a lot.

[jannaarmstrong]

I love your videos! Very informative!!!

Know this is an older video but just wanted to say thanks. Bought my first table and getting into woodworking and this was very helpful considering the instructions that came with it don't really explain how to use it, make alignment checks, etc.
