Good GOD man! I am 1 day away from buying a mitre saw for my small, hobbyist garage shop, and then I see THIS! I was actually prepared to forgo a table saw and just get the mitre, now I'm back to "do I need this, or that"! Thanks! Thanks a LOT! 🙃

[felixbiggs]

I keep a small stock of high density plastic (same material used in cutting boards). That’s what I use for my sled runners and sliding surfaces. Hasn’t failed me yet, doesn’t change with conditions in the shop and it’s cheaper than getting a new runner for every jig.

Being a a retired cabinetmaker/woodworker I am always looking for those work smarter not harder tips that provide the most flexibility of use for the tools I have without having to find and spend money. Great video!!!! Thank You.

Now THAT was worth my time…….and the time of most other enthusiasts too…….

[jlivewell]

I know I am always a man of hyperbole, when I watch every woodworkers videos…. But I have to say it….. “This is one of the greatest woodworking videos in history.” 😂

I need to look at these in my depth. I have a huge, cast iron Rigid table saw. My boyfriend bought it for me 5 years ago from a customer of his but never used it. Still in the box. I had kick back maybe 30 years ago and it gave me a fear of table saws. It took me three years to put it together. And it’s been another two years and I haven’t even turned it on. This is just what I need. Especially the sled jig. I think that will be the first one I will build for this saw. I did make the jig like you showed as a track jig for my circular saw. I inherited all my Dads saws on top of mine so I better get busy. Band saws, miter saws, “Companion Saw”, Jig Saw, Scroll saw, you name it. I will be sure to check out your channel. Thank you so much for sharing.

This is by far the best table saw jig video I've seen. And I've watched a ton of them as a newbie. Picked up a Ryobi table saw this year and it only has the one mitre slot to the right of the blade. Been searching for a good sled to make so thank you!

[greggcoulter]

Great video with tons of info. Love all the jigs for accomplishing tasks in less expensive ways. That mega fence is awesome

About 60 miles east of you in Granville, TN; been woodworking for over 50 years and this is the Frist time I've seen an "L-fence". Very cool.

[kenerickson]

I have 2 table saw sleds. My original big one and smaller one with ~12" wide capacity. The small one uses a spare miter gauge for my saw that is permanently attached to the base for1 runner. I have T-track about 4" from the fence to use as stock hold downs. My fence installation varied from what most people advocate. My base has rip fence side square to the back of base. I attached miter gauge to the base and put the rip fence up to the base side to ensure sled would run square. I added the sled fence to the back of the base instead of to the top. I had made a relief cut to the fence to prevent dust buildup at the fence. This fence has remained true for a couple of years now.

did most of this back in the 60's---nice to see them still an important way of working wood on a budget....nice video, presented in an intelligent way----i always enjoy your informational videos thanx rick

No doubt you have a fancy green dust extractor to go along with your fancy green track saw but for those of us using the poor mans version of track with the yellow circular saw shown in your video, they DO make a dust nozzle attachment you can configure to use with a shop vac. It's not Festool dustless, but it helps a great deal! 😁

This is the second video of yours that I have watched. I love that the feel is so real world practical and so easy to understand for those of us learning and looking for options. So many of the ideas in this I will be implementing in the space that I am setting up for learning to do my own remodel. This new subscriber says, "Thank you!"

[gazmurrell]

Nicely done. I lost count of how many times I said "Oh Wow"

[Peggapoo]

This is an excellent video. I have a small shed to do my work in and finding room for all the tools is impossible. Floor space is at a premium, so these jigs will allow me to use larger cuts of wood on my portable table saw. Thank you for showing this.

[magnumjgjg]

Man, so much useful info in one video. That L fence is going to be a game changer for me! Thank you for all the work you put in on these videos. Subscribed!

[thysbasson]

I love how you make a basic "chassis" jig with different addons. The modularity is brilliant, the tool tray on top of the fence jig is also very nice to have, I'm always forgetting where I put my tools, and stuff keeps falling off or irritating you when it's in your way. This way I can keep the measuring tape, pencil, square, push stick etc neatly and securely at hand. Thanks I enjoyed your video.

[DonaldDork]

Wow! All the jigs I'll ever need in one video. Thank you 🙏

plastic cutting boards. you still get to cut them, and sneak into the perfect fit in your miter slot, but it's plastic so it won't expand/contract like wood. and they're usually cheap, and you can get a lot of use out of one cutting board for lots of sleds.
