I absolutely hate you, in a nice way of course. While I have a boatload of shop tools, adding a few more is always welcomed. Thanks for the informative video. I have to admit, however, watching it cost me a few bucks!!! Others, be warned. lol
At around 3:19 you say to put it behind the blade, but it goes in front of the blade.
You look a bit like John Travolta !
I swear the best square i have is an old 2 inch stanley that i got off ebay in an old lot of tools. Still true and gets into all the little spots
Those spring clamps are ALSO great for fisherman… I kayak fish and use a large spring clamp on the end of a line. To tie up to trees or dock structure. They hold but not so tight you can’t quick release in an emergency…
What size spring clamps do u recommend
Oh the clamps are handy I use them for gluing my false moustache on my top lip I leave them on all night lol
Good job Matt! I’ve been thinking about the thin rip jig, may have to get one on order. I recently purchased the 6" spring clamps and all four of the corner clamping squares sets offered by Taylor Toolworks. Both items are well made and a great value in my opinion. Taylor Toolworks is one of my favorite places to order from. 🙂
Hey Matt, great channel thanks for all the tips! I’ve been looking through your videos trying to find the brand of sandpaper you were really impressed with and I can’t find it. What was that brand again? Thanks so much. I’m a beginning woodworker just getting into it. ~David
It looks like you have squared your blade to the throat plate, not to the table top. Most of the time the stock is registered on the table top, and the blade needs to be square to it. I feel that a larger square is better,. You can easily place it between the teeth on the blade.
Awesome video thanks 😊
Matt that thin rip jig is a awesome tool gonna be ordering one very soon

Hello 731. What is you opinion of Carsen Clamps?
Are these made in the USA 🇺🇸 ?
Sigh. Another INFOMERCIAL where the Youtuber makes money when you click on his links and buy something.
Glass reinforced nylon. Is handy if you get it out of shape somehow. Because if you put it in the fridge over night it will reform to square in the cold.
Thanks!
disliked… checking the table saw squareness to the insert, not the table top….. checking a chisel blade squareness with a metal square…. Hard to watch the rest and believe opinions after these…
you can even see in the video where the small cutoff gets pushed back to the roller
A caveat: using a tiny square to square up your table saw blade will only be effective if you can guarantee that the red throat plate, surrounding the blade, is level with the table top.
Does the thin rip do the same job of a feather board?
Anyone seen something like that DFM gauge but in metric?
Everything you recommended from DFM is sold out.
I prefer a square with a wider blade when squaring my equipment. I currently use an engineers square but definitely see the value in adding the smaller square to my tool kit.
Pivot! Got the Friends reference. Great tools thanks
What sucks is that the first 3 items are double the price in Canada!! Over $60
Are there any good corded brad nailers out there?
I bought that thin rip jig and the knob broke off in a week.
I don’t know how we lived before these bits of crap there useless waste of money lol
One easy trick for 1/4" rips specifically is to make a push stick out of 1/4" plywood on the bandsaw. The high top sneaker shape is my favorite lol. You can keep it under pressure all the way through the cut no problem. 1/8" inch rips??? Then I’d worry about the jig. Just another option that doesn’t cost nothin.
Good morning Matt,,have you ever made a waking stick , cane? With the head of a masonry hammer. I’m asking because i want to do one and would appreciate any pointers.
No I don’t need new tools!! Lol. No no. No. 😂😂
Nice video too bad with this inflation the next one is gonna be 5 tools under like $33 or something
great presentation …. very useful !
Hit the affiliate link for the thin ripjig and its no longer available and the dont know when it will be back in stock.
what am I doing wrong here?… i don’t see the links to the products in the video
Great show Iove the shirts and the content .
Spring clamps don’t work well for us old farts with weak hands. What else can we use?
There’s no such thing as quality plastic. It will break, just a matter of time.
The thin cut jig is a safety hazard as it goes against the basics of using a table saw as its teaching people to apply a binding technique, the left side of the blade always is for the wood to fall away without pressure eliminating kickback, twisting which can cause the user to reach across the blade trying to stop the wood from hitting them. How did this product get approved for safety? We have been cutting 1/4" strips for decades without the potential for binding the wood, thats how people get hurt, say if the bearing fails. What other ways might a new owner of a table saw apply this method to other cuts without the knowledge that this is potentially dangerous pattern to get used to that they might apply elsewhere with different cuts. I have hundreds of hours on a table saw and I would not allow this in my shop or on site, its forming a bad habit and those are dangerous when one can lose fingers.
If you endorse this product, please add video of what happens to a user when they bind wood on a table saw and go over the safety aspect of doing this prior to displaying this product for the safety of those eager home woodworkers just learning their tools and those with experience as a reminder of how we lose fingers. I’ve taken a coworker to the hospital for reaching over the blade and cutting his thumb wide open on a table saw and I know a few carpenters who have lost their fingers to these tools, fingers are not replacable. We need to respect them more than we need them to be easy to use.
Dude brother riv is the man!! What an awesome gift from god man. Can’t wait to see your other videos. I am just getting started this weekend on some small stuff. I’m new to the whole woodworking thing. Got a logosol lumber Mill. I am going to work from there with a planer and make some cutting boards. Starting simple… I think??? Haha
Re the small square: Can one be sure that the insert has not sagged or crowned? Would it be better to index off of the saw deck?
I like the pins. However I have the woodpecker version of that square. I love that thing. Thanks for another awesome video Matt!!
Every DFM tool in Canada is at least double the price….$60+…..for the pieces you showed….not worth the money here.
God Bless you Matt!!
Great video. As usual. One thing however, you shouldn’t align the table saw blade with the insert as it could be slightly off to the table. I use a square that sits on the table, not the insert.
I can’t seem to find the minisquare, the first one you reviewed. Can you help? Also, I live in Montreal. Are these only sold in the U.S.?
Matt, you’ve done it again!! Spent my money for me! Absolutely love that Thin rip jig! Ordering one this week. Thanks as always!!
Dfm couldn’t keep up with your video. They are all sold out. Email them now for sponsorship! Lol
i use a 123 block to square my saw blade, I have that exact thin rip jig, and I use setup blocks for my height adjustments have many of the same clamps… We all have very similar tastes in tools because we are all working with similar product, wood… Great video, I really enjoy you stuff… Fist bump…
