Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Table Saw Fence Upgrade!

Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Table Saw Fence Upgrade!

Adam spends the day fixing and upgrading his Powermatic 66 table saw with a new table saw fence system. The table saw is equipped with an Accu-Fence, but its sides were damaged in recent use. Adam replaces those sides with a beautiful set found online, and even got some tips to install them direct from the manufacturer! Keep an eye out for a cameo appearance of a Scottish soda sent in from a fan, complete with kilt bottle cozy!

    Can anyone tell me how he’s able to use his table saw without a riving knife ?

  2. Alyssa Dziminski on September 3, 2023 at 7:05 pm

    *Have had this table saw before, Love it **MyBest.Tools*

  3. Wioletta Wozniak on September 3, 2023 at 7:06 pm

    Well made and very accurate

  4. Kevin Fann on September 3, 2023 at 7:07 pm

    Can you share a link for powermatic Teflon fence guides.

  5. Mark Koons on September 3, 2023 at 7:07 pm

    Interesting design by Powermatic. Found this video searching for advice on working with UHMW T slot guide strips. Also would like UHMW faces on a chewed-up Biesemeyer fence but understand they installed by in a different, less accommodating way. Maybe the fix is Bondo and UHMW tape. You reckon?

  6. Hal Arnold on September 3, 2023 at 7:08 pm

    never mind, I found Billy Choate’s email below

  7. Philip Wolf on September 3, 2023 at 7:08 pm

    7 or 8 thou ??!! Dude!! You are cutting wood !!

  8. Hal Arnold on September 3, 2023 at 7:09 pm

    Adam, do you have a source for the Bill Choate UHMW sides? I’d love to buy them for my Biesemeyer

  9. Donna Mayo on September 3, 2023 at 7:10 pm

    U talk to much just do the job

  10. Dave Parker on September 3, 2023 at 7:11 pm

    These suck. I’m wanting to trade mine out for something that is actually flat straight and NOT UHMW plastic which is very not flat.

  11. terry lynn on September 3, 2023 at 7:13 pm

    You’re not real smart are you?

  12. John Valenca on September 3, 2023 at 7:14 pm

    Awesome sneakers Adam

  13. David Watts on September 3, 2023 at 7:16 pm

    Try some Inca-Kola if you ever see it. Peruvian soda. It’s another bubblegum flavor.

  14. MSgtOORAH on September 3, 2023 at 7:18 pm

    when u yelled to alexa to play bag pipes music …. my alexa did play also pipe music …. funny …. OORAH!!

  15. rabak omaba on September 3, 2023 at 7:19 pm

    Nice, nice, very nice. However, you can make it better. Just google Woodglut and learn how to do it easily.

  16. oldshield on September 3, 2023 at 7:19 pm

    do you have the mill works ebay page and or the url for the mill works site you speak of?

  17. R CE on September 3, 2023 at 7:20 pm

    Not much out feed space, against the wall.

  18. Eddie on September 3, 2023 at 7:20 pm

    Amazing how you still have all 10 fingers!

  19. Jim W on September 3, 2023 at 7:21 pm

    Hi Adam. Sorry to ask but my hearing is not so great anymore. Where did you order the replacement parts?

  20. bil willard on September 3, 2023 at 7:21 pm

    Where did you get them? Exact same need.

  21. David Burris on September 3, 2023 at 7:25 pm

    How many people were watching this and had Adam set off their Alexa? 😂

  22. Eric Neering on September 3, 2023 at 7:25 pm

    Do you think they would want you to play their music in the background because let alone does it give them advertisement for the sun it makes more people hear the music you’re all worried about $1.95 greed

  23. James Shepherd on September 3, 2023 at 7:26 pm

    Get some ratchet wrenches. Speed up production.

  24. Eric Neering on September 3, 2023 at 7:27 pm

    Could you have gonorrhea LOL just joking

  25. George K on September 3, 2023 at 7:28 pm

    Is there any chance you would post the eBay seller I’d, or contact info.? I would like to purchase a set for my PM table saw. I’ve searched on eBay and have not hit on the right search criteria.

  26. ian reed on September 3, 2023 at 7:29 pm

    Way too many commercials !

  27. C-Mah on September 3, 2023 at 7:31 pm

    1980s horror films played in my mind when you said you unplugged it so it "wouldn’t" turn on.

  28. Fernando Ruz RGG on September 3, 2023 at 7:34 pm

    Hello, Whispers.

  29. Richard A. Snitzer on September 3, 2023 at 7:36 pm

    can someone direct me to those side fences?

  30. Eric Neering on September 3, 2023 at 7:37 pm

    Hopefully you don’t have no Ex-Lax in the pop

  31. S21urcle on September 3, 2023 at 7:38 pm

    Please install a riving knife or splitter

  32. The F0xx on September 3, 2023 at 7:39 pm

    A gentleman is a man that knows how to play the bag pipes. But doesn’t. 😂😂😂

  33. Ken Zaleski on September 3, 2023 at 7:40 pm

    " really only getting withing 5 thousands.. " Adam….you need an incra fence! .002 all day long buddy! And no tap tap tap to get there…it’ll change your life!
    Just as a follow up, I ran a little test.
    Dialed in fence to 1" measured actually 1.0015 ( I can get closer but I was just messing around). Moved thefence to 2.5", measured @ 2.515, then moved to 4" measured 3.9985, then back to 1" measured .9989. And I’ll add that’s it’s not my saw. I had this same fence on an old 1950 8" delta homecraft and it had the same level of accuracy and reliability.

  34. Derek Craig on September 3, 2023 at 7:41 pm

    all that work and you could’ve just used extruded aluminum…

  35. Steve Campbell on September 3, 2023 at 7:42 pm

    Adam should not be allowed to use sharp objects or tools.

  36. MrSeminole77 on September 3, 2023 at 7:42 pm

    prolly too late to the party to ask….3/4" or 1/2" thk? 44" long? Thanks!

  37. michael hartley on September 3, 2023 at 7:45 pm

    Irn Bru…..made in Scotland from girders……

  38. Todd Fisher on September 3, 2023 at 7:45 pm

    Do you have a link to these uhmw parts? I can’t find them. Thanks!

  39. Robert E. Wilson on September 3, 2023 at 7:46 pm

    Nice to see even the experts have there nuts and bolts falling around the shop once in awhile.

  40. Vernon Farquhar on September 3, 2023 at 7:47 pm

    Next time – “Alexa, play Enter The Haggis.” That is some bagpipe music to rock out while you work!

  41. mmanut on September 3, 2023 at 7:48 pm

    U R AN PATHETIC

  42. RichardC on September 3, 2023 at 7:51 pm

    I find the Swiss Army knife in the background mesmerizing!👍🤪🇨🇦👨‍🦳

  43. Dennis Boxem on September 3, 2023 at 7:53 pm

    Irn Bru! My favourite. I have to buy it online though as it’s really hard to find outside the UK.

  44. Peter on September 3, 2023 at 7:54 pm

    Do you have a link for the Fence faces you bought? Thanks!

  45. cole mahaney on September 3, 2023 at 7:55 pm

    that fence is over kill

  46. Stuart Ramsay on September 3, 2023 at 7:56 pm

    iron bru, classic! made from girders

  47. G 1951 on September 3, 2023 at 7:57 pm

    My UHMW fence rails on my Powermatic were dished at every screw attachment point. I laminated some baltic birch plywood and replaced them. Problem solved.

  48. Dennis Adams on September 3, 2023 at 8:01 pm

    I am surprised that has SAWSTOP has not offered you a free table saw? I mean you are a celebrity

  49. James Humphries on September 3, 2023 at 8:04 pm

    U R A AWESOME DUDE,

  50. Jamie Duncan on September 3, 2023 at 8:04 pm
