There's something very satisfying about a tuned up tool.

Thanks for this. Bought my first table saw and had it delivered today. I’m an absolute amateur so couldn’t justify buying an expensive one but I’ll follow this before I even switch it on.

The more I watch you content the more I appreciate it. Keep up the great work

Jonathan; great shows. I just recently purchased a used 10" King Tablesaw, and I am presently working on cleaning it up and throwing a set of wheels under it. It takes me a rather long time to complete such projects due to some rather serious upper limb injuries. I used to work with metal as I was a Blacksmith, welder, and did some basic machining for my career of 30+ years.
Anyway, I purchased this amazing tablesaw for $100 as I am upgrading from a Canadian Tire brand 10" tablesaw, wow what a huge difference the King is over the Canadian Tire brand saw !

Getting out of the garage and into this new space has done wonders for your content. You’re stuff is going to be even better now.

thanks you so much for this, i know you were dissapointed by the amount of views but this has been a fantastic help for me and has made it much less intimidating to adjust my machines to be bang on where as befoer i was afraid i would mess up the calibration and make things worse and be unable to fix it thank you very much

J-Kat. Thank you so much for the timing and content of this video. I’m picking up my new 36” Sawstop Saturday. I’ll be following through your video again once I receive. Keep posting!

I am not sure if you do this on a regular basis, but checking your combination square for "Squareness" is extremely important. Always check your squares for "Squareness". I typically check my squares on a weekly basis, mainly because I have basically destroyed some of my metal projects due to an out of square tool.
Awesome show, I have learned huge amounts from your shows, please keep up the great job.

This is great info, that old craftsman I somehow ended up with is going to be amazing once I'm done with it. Thanks!

[lehcim]

thanks, for this reminder. we often overlook this when we're in the shop.

[zavoina]

This demo got serious when that tooth hit the end of the ruler. This is always good info. At the end of the day, it also reminds us that even our basic tools like the combo square need to be true and accurate as so much is based off it.

[kduhamel]

I like the series. It’s always a good reminder. Thanks.

[harrydavis]

Great tutorial, Jonathan. Very helpful and thorough. Thanks, friend.

[DanoKozy]

This is a great idea for a video series. I'd like to see Bandsaw, Drill press, jointer, and planer tuneups. Thanks. Good stuff.

That's pretty good Jonathan. A couple comments. I would check the runout on the saw arbor face flange. Its a good idea to clean the flange with some solvent as pitch will build up on it if you change blades a lot.. You like to have less than .001" runout on the flange. You should take the runout on the blade also and you would like have less than .004" as far out as you can take it. Its a good idea, because of runout to mark a tooth with a sharpie and use the same tooth for checking blade alighnment with your indicator. Cheers

Alignment is only as good as the bearings, thanks for the video .

[wb_finewoodworking]

Thanks for the reminder. It’s time for me to clean out my table saw, lubricate it and check all the adjustments.

Really usefull video for a beginner like me who just got his first cabinet table saw! Very instructive 🤓
