why is the height of blade important always adjust height because i know i should but not sure why i do it?
As expected well worth the price
Thank you for sharing. your way of teaching is amazing and straight forward. I’ve been into woodworking myself and have always find great table saws from D&D Woodcrafts. I’d be glad to know where you get your wood working supplies from
Good video… I wish someone would make one of these for cutting metal. It’s like a whole new world on a table saw.
I don’t think it was mentioned in the video so I’m just gonna say it…
For the love of god, always keep your hands AWAY from the moving blade!
Hi Colin,…….Just bought a Ryobi table saw and to be honest am a little afraid of using it although I have. Enjoyed your lesson and will be looking for more to do with table saws,……….I am thinking a little fear goes a long way to retaining fingers,….

Thank you so much for the vid, so have you seen Woody Hyezmar’s woodworking “Bible” yet? I think videos are really useful because of the visuals, but you can still get his bible before it’s published, just try go’ogling his latest.
When I turn on the table saw, the lights go out in my shop for a second. Can this power sag damage my table saw motor?
Hi Colin, I was just wondering how to fix my table saw if my blade is no longer parallel to the mitre slots? I’m thinking my arbor is bent or maybe my motor mount has move out of position slightly.
Thanks and love your videos!
Know this is an older video but just wanted to say thanks. Bought my first table and getting into woodworking and this was very helpful considering the instructions that came with it don’t really explain how to use it, make alignment checks, etc.
More great tips, thanks. One question: Apart from exposing less of the blade and thus increasing safety, why adjust the blade to half a tooth above the workpiece?
Thank you. I needed that. I bought a new table saw 6 months ago and have yet to use it. It still scares me. This helped a lot.
I"m a freshman in highschool at the moment, and I was given 10 minutes to study before given a 34 question test on how to safely use a table saw in my work working class. I passed with 31 out of 34. Thanks, mate.
Your words are wise
thanks so much for this video. I would like to buy a small table saw but, truthfully they make me a little nervous.
Thanks Colin. All great advice.
Hi Colin, great introduction to table saws for beginners, thank you for sharing. I do have one question though is a table saw suitable for cutting down tree logs or would you be better off using a bandsaw?
Many thanks Paul from the UK.
How I now if the router will do I street cut 🤔?
I’ve been wanting to say this for a while now Colin, I’m in love you. I just turned 18 and I want you to work my wood.
Hy , deine Video sind sehr hilfreich .! Die Trix sind der absolute Hammer .bitte bleib so wie du bist. Danke

Thank you..very helpful!
Brilliant, explained where I was going wrong
Thank yoau very much, this video Is very usefull and u are a food teacher. Thx forse sharing
Thank you so much! I’m just starting out with woodworking and your video was the perfect introduction to the table saw. Just subscribed so that I can watch all your videos!
Thank you but still scared to use.
Nice and interesting tutorial.
Please suggest any other way I can use aside from the table saw. I am a beginner.
Thanks for all the great tips and videos Mr. K They are very informative for a newB. I watched one the other day where you showed your portable light that you used on your workbench and one on your drill press. I could not find the link you had for them. I would like to know where I can get one for my bench to help out my eyes. Can you post the company name or link on here so I can check them out Please.
Thanks for your time and efforts.

Wish I’d seen this last month. Got a kickback full force in my stomach from a slab of plywood..Hospital trip…fortunately, no real damage. but bruising and pain for some time. Lesson learnt..the hard way. Watch most of your Vids Colin..All very helpful. Thanks.
Great lesson thank you!
I have watched so many videos about this stuff and might guys are just hard to watch; they tell too much about stuff I don’t care about, get off topic or whatever. But Colin is so easy to watch and let’s face it, he’s 3/4 genius. Great stuff.
Nice to review general info on the table, but I do have a question however. You were talking about adjusting the fence to insure that it is parallel to the blade, that I know how to do. It is adjusting the "pointer" indicating the distance of the fence to the blade. What is the proper way to set this indicator? Do you measure from the fence to inside of the blade? This would give you the exact board width you require. Or do you measure from the fence to the middle of the blade? For me I would use the first one because I am always looking for the exact measurement and not 1/8 of an inch shorter because of the thickness of the blade. Correct me if I am wrong. For me, I always use a tape measure and don’t really rely on the gage as the blade thickness changes between different types of blades. But I do use it as a quick reference to get it where I need it and then make the final adjustments. Thanks again. Tim
Great video. THANK YOU. You have another subscriber.
I’m very curious as to why he doesn’t use a riving knife or a splitter. 90% of the time it doesn’t do anything but prevent a piece of wood from flying through your abdomen.
Thanks for all your informative video’s. I have an cheep table saw, the miter gage that came with it is floppy in the tract. Can you suggest a fix for this problem?
your fence should not go further than half the blade?
Thanks Colin Knecht for useful information , i am trying to start a wood work as hobby are suggest which three to four power tools i buy in starting.
Good job. I was able to make one automatic that works on 12 volt
I learnt more in six minutes watching this video than I have done in lord knows how many website guides, thanks very much!
Thanks! I feel less stupid and less likely to lose a finger. Haha.. I need to find a push stick though.. I like that. Really big Thanks!!
Masterclass
It just seems like to dangerous of a tool to use regularly.. I got a portable one used and I think i might sell it..
Man, I am sure there were a lot of fingers lost before Youtube came along. Guys like you, Steve Ramsey, Stumpy Nubs, Izzy Swan and many more all have excellent tips for setting up and using a table saw. Everything from waxing your table saw, to keeping a small square handy to make sure your blade is a true 90 degrees to wearing safety glasses. Thanks for this very useful information.
Had anyone else noticed all the different watches Collin wears?
Still a great series of posts from back in the day!
Legend!
That was for beginners? In Vegas a kick back is a gratuity ….what does your word kickback mean? For beginners you have to explain.
I would like to ask a question. Does the carpenter need nearly square shape, or do you need an absolute square? How to get an absolute square?
I’ve heard so many different opinions on the optimal blade height (I think the half tooth above the wood makes sense and is safer) but I’m wondering if you have a video debunking the idea that you get a cleaner cut with the blade up super high?
Sitting here with a smashed finger dunked in ice wishing I had watched this video 30 minutes ago….
