Wow gray video !
I was thinking totally backwards on the type of blade to use for rip cuts. I bought an 80 tooth carbide blade thinking I would get a smoother cut with all those teeth with the 3/4" Red Oak I’m using to build a pair of speaker cabinets. I was also only exposing about half the carbide cutter instead of all of it. Unfortunately I’m finished with all the rip cuts I need to do for this project so I’ll have to try them out on the next one.. : ) Thanks for the video! They are a big help for some one like me who is trying to take my carpentry skills to the next level.
Excellent video. Another tip for ripping cherry is to raise the blade even higher than shown to further reduce the number of teeth in the cut thus making the blade run cooler. Forrest claims that their blades will run 300 to 500 degrees cooler depending on how high you raise the blade.
Sometimes I’m a little slow in grabbing the push block and the slight pause is enough to produce scorching in cherry. This is the one time where my left hand does double duty and pushes the stock while holding it against the fence as I reach for my push block. Having the push block close by like you show really makes a difference and using a feather board helps even more because you’re safe as long as you keep your left hand behind it.

I am trying to get really straight rip cuts on my table saw to glue boards edge to edge. I am getting better results than before but was wondering how straight is straight enough? Can I ignore small gaps because they will disappear when I clamp the wood?
Great vid. Thanks for the good inputs. Your long sleeves dangling gave me a bit of scare.
This man cares about YOUR fingers. Like the video.
At 7:03 (or so) a small piece of wood kicked back and hit you(very gently), showing that your body position may have been a bit off. I am not trying to be picky, kickback is something I am particularly afraid of. My grandfather lost 4 fingers on one hand when he was young on a table saw, so I am paranoid.
Hello, I know this is an older video but I recently subscribed. I really enjoy all the tips ! I’m curious if you can direct me to a rip blade more like a glue line blade . One that will cut and be ready for glue up. I have a Dewalt Contractor style table saw that works well. I need the blade for mostly ¾" pine . I make ALLOT of rips and want to use the best blade for ripping and gluing. Jointing every board is just way too time consuming. Thank you, Keith.
BRILLIANT! All of it! My favorite video I have watched from your channel so far AND the most useful, helpful table saw video I have watched from anyone. I feel like I have watched a hundred by now, so that is saying a lot. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
First time table saw owner. You might just have saved me some fingers… I didn’t know how unready I was to start cutting until I got about 2 minutes into your videos! 😆
I love this channel. You make videos with concise, easy to understand instructions.
Excellent suggestion and tips, I use many of them and appreciate your videos! Question…. can you recommend a good after-market fence for an off-brand table saw. My table saw manufacturer is no longer in business, but I’d really like to improve the accuracy of my saw with a better fence. Hoping you might have a suggestion for something that’s in the "universal" category.
Seriously, why didn’t I find this sooner? Amazing job. You got my sub.
Thanks James. Are Ridge table saw blades still your go to in your shop. I’m asking because I just got a new SawStop jobsite pro table saw and want to use the best blades I can.
Just bought a table saw and I enjoy watching this man’s videos. He talks in a soft voice and its like being back at school with a teacher who knows what they are talking about/Greetings from Eastern England.
Fantastic content — James knows his stuff and is rapid-fire smart providing valuable insight. Keep it coming James!
I just had an accident with my table saw this Sunday and lost a good chunk of my thumb. Thankfully I missed the bone and nerve but I wish I would have seen your videos beforehand although after watching numerous of your videos I feel confident in being more safe and getting back to it
I’ve been using table saws for over 30 years and I picked up a good couple of tips. Now I’m going to go kick myself for not thinking of them before.
@StumpyNubs I’m about to get a Delta contractor table saw. I plan to make a crosscut sled soon. Thinking of the narrow runners to be cut, would the fancy micro jig push block be good to get? Or just a basic set of push stick and block?
I wanted to quickly throw my brand new saw together and start making some rip cuts of some 2×4’s I’m using to pad some studs. After watching this and a few others I decided to put the saw away for the day and take more time to fully understand how to properly and safely use it.
Not worth trying to rush into something since table saws seem a little more dangerous than some of my other tools.
What a brilliant knowledgeable chap
I am enjoying your Table Saw Safety Series. I decided, I needed a review of Table Saw Safety while considering replaceing my Shop Smith with a new Table Saw like the Harvey Table Saw and not the Saw Stop. One person reviewing the Laguna said, there are other safety issues with Table saws beside losing a finger, which made me to start to thinking about what I have forgotten. I have picked up several Tips on juat two parts alone. Reversing the Feather Board for thinner cuts and tape over the insert plate.
You go where you look.
Don’t stare at the blade the whole time!
Question: are you not using a blade guard in Video 2 because you have a blade knife AND are using right hand block? If, I understand your earlier comments ALWAYS use blade guards is that IF you don’t have splitter. I have problem feeding wood stock thru past blade as the kick back guard piece attachment is low enough to block my hand block piece passing the wood being cut. Is there a simple solution, that is also safe? My first reaction was to remove the kick back piece, which allows wood cutting , but clearly dangerous?
Excellent video going back to square one safety video never hurts to refresh the basics.
How many fingers this video saved?
Thin strip hints wonderfu,l using the back of the feather board realy is so logical 🤔
Great video, really helpful for me cuz I am new to tabe saws. Figured out that I did a lot of mistakes using the saw after I received it a few days ago.
Thank you buddy
I’m a tablesaw guru and still picked up a couple tips. Thanks
Thanks James, great video. I’m looking to get my first table saw and have two questions:
1. Does a guide mounted on the fence at the outfeed that holds the piece down against the table top provide any additional protection?
2. If I have a saw that takes 300mm blades, is there any use case for using a smaller diameter blade, or just always use 300mm?
Thanks
Sawstop vs Jet vs Pneumatic who makes best tablesaw for beginners?
Thank you for this series. You are really helping me with my (severe) Dunning Krueger syndrome and to be much safer.
this video fits my skills. thank you for your explanation and tips
What would you make picture frames out of?
Your videos are without doubt some of the very best I have seen on the internet! I am a virtual "newcomer" to woodworking at 60 years of age and now retired but I certainly get a lot out of the whole learning process! On the downside…your product recommendations have cost me a fortune!!! Keep safe!
James – thanks again for making this and other videos. I’m a newbie and have learned a ton about woodworking and table saws. I’ve been working with pine and poplar – and a bit of plywood, and seem to have scorching on my cuts more than I would like. I bought a 60 tooth finishing blade – largely to avoid tear-out with the plywood, but also the pine. As you explain in your video, the fewer teeth on a blade, the faster you can cut so the opposite has to be true. Is scorching with finishing blades more common because you can’t move the wood through the saw as fast?
Sometimes when I come off the end of the blade on a rip cut. I’ll get snipe on the back end of my board. How to avoid?
dope video, learned some valuable stuff for today
How do you use a riving knife or splitter when using a dado blade?
Did not know about the reverse feather board trick for repeated small rips away from the fence. Thanks!
Wonderfully helpful as always, thank you for uploading
You are awesome man, your videos are straightforward and to the point, I’m learning so much from you, thank you!
The highest praise I can give *Stumpy Nubs* channel is: *"Norm would be proud."* Especially when it comes to shop safety, such as this video and the others James links to.
Good video. I’m relatively new to woodworking after inheriting some tools and a table saw. Ripping boards always makes me a bit nervous.
Keep up the good work you turkey
Meanwhile I’m over here with my 70 craftsman 10” I found in my basement
Your advices are to the piont and always pointing toward safety!!
God bless you
I e watched this video many times. I got kick back last night and opened a gash on my arm so I’m watching again. I had the nerve to not have the riving knife.on "because I was using the gripper micro jig". Stupid me.
Just bought a new metabo portable table saw. I changed blade to a thin kerf Diablo. I had to order a $45 thin kerf riving knife after stalling blade ripping 3/4 ash board.
i dont see where it says show more, im on you tube
