Dear sir. Your showing all of my classic old school tools. They are all still in fine shape and perform well. My Unisaw is a 1992 and all of my other Delta equipment is USA made. 🇺🇸 Treat your equipment well and keep it clean and properly lubricated and it will last forever with only basic wear parts needing replacement. Thank you for your service to the community.
Wow, I'm an extremely experienced woodworker and almost never find any tips in youtube videos that are both A. Helpful and B. I didn't already know. This video had several tips that met both criteria! Nice!
I think the only thing I don't like about the experience/ knowledge I've gained over the years is that there are fewer and fewer books/ videos with information I haven't already come across or practiced- Mike always seems to deliver though!
I have a 1/4" HP power feeder attached to my table saw via four Magswitches. Best tool investment I've made. Only once have I had an issue ripping without a riving knife. No kick back with the power feeder but I did burn hard maple when the power feeder couldn't push the piece when the maple bound together at the end, so I stuck a shim in the end of the piece and continued on. My rips are very consistent by not needing to stop in the middle of a long rip to adjust my hands, which often leaves a mark on the edge. By keeping your hands away from the blade using a power feeder adds huge level of safety, IMO. Also way less fatiguing when ripping many pieces. I would have gotten a 1/2 HP feeder for more power for long 8/4 material, but I'd need more powerful Magswitches (already have over 2600 hold down pounds) and it would be too heavy to move.
I have shown similar results in a couple other videos. A table saw and powerfeeder are like shoes and socks. Also, try an 18 tooth blade when dealing with maple, burning will be greatly reduced.
My dad used the cheaper/older version of the table saw molder all the time. He would even grind his own custom shapes. But they can be dangerous. He was doing a custom shape and went to lunch. His shop helper decided to "help" and finish up some of the molding he was making. It did not end well. Reconstructive hand surgery and months of healing was the result. Thanks for the informative video.
It always surprises me how many things can be done with/ on the table saw. The table saw is still one of those tools that intimidate me. No matter how many times I use one.
Glad to see the 7 1/4 blade. I was looking at prices to get my 10 inch blades sharpened and realized I could by a 7 1/4 for less. For someone who works with sheet goods a lot it's a great option.
I am a semi-retired flooring installer, and while I still look at it with distain, have a healthy respect for my main tool, an 8 1/2" DeWalt jobsite saw. A lot of what I do involves making cuts to wrap around doors, pillars, floor mount HVAC vents, etc. A lot of what I do is freehand...no miter gauge or fence...because many cuts are out of square or just plain weird. I advised my boss that 7 1/4" blades could be had for half the price of the 8 1/2" blades, because of the specialty size. They will also flex a little, which is desirable in my case for making long wavy rip cuts to match a wall. A 40 tooth 7 1/4" blade cuts as nicely as a 10" 60 tooth does...if you consider the math ((C=πr squared). Warning: I am a trained professional. Don't try this at home😉
As you may have noticed from the flurry of comments from me spanning videos from your entire body of work, I am a new subscriber who has done nothing but binge watch Mike Farrington videos this entire weekend. I'm now reduced to waiting for new releases. But nonetheless, I celebrate your entire catalogue.
Infinity Cutting Tools also makes a 1/4" (smaller diameter) blade. Ive had one for years and it still cuts perfectly square and flat every time. Great video, thanks fot taking the time to put this together!
Your timing is impeccable, I was just purchasing some new blades this week. I'm going to add the Double Taper sanding disc. Thanks for your content, it is always entertaining and informative.
So much info packed into a very entertaining twenty minutes... ...and the hope of a video covering the restoration of the saw (which have been some of my favourites over the years). Thank you!
I have used, only once, a wobble blade in a drill-driven circular saw. It worked but I felt a little ill at ease using it. I was only abut 20 and it was cheap option for grooving. I bought a Stanley combination plane soon after.
I love my 18t rip blade. I've been thinking about the CMT set. And I have a brand new molding in the old Dewalt variant. I can also vouch for the truly sketchy wobble dado. 1986. A Tuesday morning just before break time. Working by myself. I had a serious accident. The wobble definitely adds to the kick back potential, and the more it's maxed out, the worse it gets.
1989. 3/4" cut. Wobble kicked the workpiece out and left index finger got shredded. 8 1/2 hrs later with a finger/hand specialist and the finger is 98% as good as new. The blade was never mounted in a saw again and hangs at the back of my shop in my sight line to the offcut end of my saw. Every time I turn the saw on, I look up and see that acursed wobble blade. I slow down. Take a breath. Think if how I am approaching the cut is the best and safest way. Orthopedic bill was $32,000...by the way.
Thank You Small note the Craftsman came in a single and triple cutter if a custom cutter is needed the single cutter is easier to make. I’ve used the Craftsman sets for years with good results, a hold down makes consistent cuts easier. New cutters are still available for Craftsmen, Delta, and others from Corob Cutters. These cutters make a scary sound when running.
@@MikeFarrington I also live 3 minutes from Grizzly's location... It's a dangerous place to be a woodworker lol. If we had a Rockler and Woodcraft, I'd never have any money left
I love watching your videos, they are educational, entertaining and abow all make me feel good. Although I am not woodworker I feel that having a knowledge is always good thing. Thank you.
Have you thought about using the blue aluminium oxide sand paper for the “mighty double taper sanding disc”? It was an absolute game changing swap out for my double headed drum sander! Seems to take more heat as it doesn’t get any burn lines & lasts way longer. I can only imagine you did the hard yards to finalise on the one you did
@@scottspropertyservices6877 Interesting. I found the opposite. Though my disc is spinning at a much higher rate of speed. Oddly enough, behind the scenes, I'll be testing some new paper in the next month or so.
So much great information here! The double blade for cutting tenons is awesome. I need to get some of those magnetic shims, too. It’s more than a chore to get my dado blade off especially with the supplied shims.
Not vomitous, Mike. Seriously, this is THE best tip/product content I've seen in 4 years for table saws - you honestly didn't recycle anything from the eleventy-million other videos out there. I'm going to tag this with 'watch later' for both tips and products... the information packed in here is so dense, it warps spacetime. Also, flat bottom grooves... they make the rockin' world go round. Question: why do you stamp your name in your blades?
Hi Mike I’ve been watching your videos for years now and they have always been very helpful you’re doing a great job with sharing your knowledge and have help me in my shop a lot I know this question ain’t about woodworking but man I love that MC loving t-shirt 😂 so need to get one of those Best regards from Denmark 🇩🇰
Never seen the molding heads in a table saw before - very cool. Also, disappointed that you didn't demonstrate the scoring blade setup, even though i think we all get how it works.
Great video, Mike! I think a big reason that CMT made their box joint blades only 8" diameter is likely for compatibility with with SawStop saws. The dado break cartridge can then be used with it effectively.
CMT also sells grooving blades individually, in multiple sizes. I have 2 for my tiny dewalt jobsite saw. IMO they are a great alternative to dado stacks here in Europe, and they're pretty cheap too. I think they're around ~25€ each, I got the 150mm 3mm and 6mm versions.
@@robbie6625 It's the diameter yes, they have multiple thicknesses, I use 3 and 6mm. It's a small blade but for joinery I don't usually need to make very high cuts, it's more useful to have a wider blade and a flat cut.
Had to drop a subscribe and comment when I saw your name! My grandfather Jack Farrington was a cabinetmaker in Ireland from the 1950s and I’ve just recently picked up the hobby myself.
i have your double taper sanding disc... youve reminded me that i need to get more sandpaper for it since its been sitting on the shelf with burnt paper for too long lol. GREAT tool though... i certainly dont regret buying it. makes quick work of many tasks. also great video... you have a fun collection of blades!
A cabinetmaker had told me about the scoring trick and I don’t even bother with tape anymore. Melamine comes off the saw absolutely pristine using a 40 tooth GP blade. As Mike said it is slow but well worth it for what I am doing.
Your theory on the wobble dado is humorous. Though I have a book from 1911 'The A.B.C. of woodworking' by Charles G. Wheeler. It actually suggests cutting your own wedges to create a wobble dado blade. The commercial version would likely be actually safer than a shop made wedge which may explode and frankly looks like a terrifying idea even as an illustration in a book.
LOL. At the beginning: Stupid because it's not sharp! LOL. I don't know why, but that had me cracking up. But I had no idea some of these blades existed!
Mike, this video was awesome and very educational. Never knew about some of the blades. I just love your content! I’m going to be like you when I grow up 😅 By the way, nice shirt 😂
I just last week fluted 6 pieces 8' long , a detail I thought I'd never have to do again. A speedomatic router and edge guide is my go to but there's too much sanding and little burn marks. that molding head would have been key. I especially like the look of the end of the flute vs a router bit...
The Delta moulder head is definetly illegal to use in the EU when hand feeding, any cutter for hand feeding needs to have a chip limiter to 1.1mm. But tools like that are still used in automatic tenoners, four-sided planers, CnC machines etc. becouse in those applications there is no need for a chip limiter. Besides that great video, Never seen anything like the Modulus before super interesting!
For sanding... I use a 10" calibration disk... and stick 10" sand paper onto it.... Freud disks were 30 bucks... useful to buy a few... one for calibration.... one for fine sand paper... and one for a coarser grade....
Great info as always mike, thank you. Could you do a video on table saw dust collection. We all have , we all hate it, and there is no one size fits all aftermarket solution for it. Thank you.
I have three sets of the Craftsman style. While I have never run them in a table saw, I have used them in a radial arm saw! Both horizontal and vertical. Much prefer horizontal usage with the arm swinging far left and the molder set behind a custom fence and the Craftsman molder head guard. Don't have an arm saw right now but I am looking towards a Craftsman with the recall setup.
@woodrowsmith3400 I have 2 of them and love them. I'm always finding a use for them in projects. Wish I could find more blade shapes though. I run mine on the table saw. Haven't found a ras in my price range yet that's restorable or local
Great video Mike. Hopefully you will video the Unisaw rebuild? My first table saw was a1960s Unisaw from a school shop. I really liked that thick rip blade but worried my current saw (jobsite) would have trouble spinning it.
It’s always a good day when Mike Farrington releases a new!
The dry dad humor is why Im here!

I just last week fluted 6 pieces 8' long , a detail I thought I'd never have to do again. A speedomatic router and edge guide is my go to but there's too much sanding and little burn marks. that molding head would have been key. I especially like the look of the end of the flute vs a router bit...
Totally agreed, the ends look really nice with the molder. A router works, but the molder just makes it easier.

Thank you. Yeah, the modulus is super neat.
You call it a saw stop!! Thanks for the knowledge drop :-)
Thats a good one.
Thanks for covering the molders, (insert X-File joke), I'm still looking forward to the unholy wail of my Craftsmen three blade beast.
I like that joke, I fell like that was a miss on my part. They are loud, thats for sure.
@@MikeFarrington ... 90% of the time, I miss, but let's face it, one pun intended.

Good video. I really liked the magic mike molding head :) . Does look like a terrifying thing to use but I might just try it.
Thank you. You will get used to it pretty quick.
Loving the T-shirt MCLovin
Saw that one and had to have it.
For sanding... I use a 10" calibration disk... and stick 10" sand paper onto it.... Freud disks were 30 bucks... useful to buy a few... one for calibration.... one for fine sand paper... and one for a coarser grade....
That is one way to do it, but the tapered version I sell is in a totally different category.
Certainly not vomitous - thanks so much Mike!
Thank you.
Wow those molding heads are awesome. Not gonna work with my SS though I guess.
Thank you. There is a way to run them. I was going to show it, but decided not to. I'll save that for when I get a saw stop.
Very entertaining video Mike. You left out the 'Miter fold dado set ' from Rockler. A very useful tool for the TS. !
I’m keeping my powder dry. I have enough blades to do this again. That is one of them.
Thanks. I have most of the blades listed. The Hollow Ground is a little known secret ! @@MikeFarrington
Very educational!
Thank you.
Good video. Nice tips.
Thanks for watching!
As always - great content and very informative
Glad you enjoyed it
Great info as always mike, thank you. Could you do a video on table saw dust collection. We all have , we all hate it, and there is no one size fits all aftermarket solution for it. Thank you.
Thank you. I'll give that some thought.
Love my craftsman molding head. Sounds terrifying while running if you ain't used to it though
They have an intimidating sound for sure.
I have three sets of the Craftsman style. While I have never run them in a table saw, I have used them in a radial arm saw! Both horizontal and vertical. Much prefer horizontal usage with the arm swinging far left and the molder set behind a custom fence and the Craftsman molder head guard. Don't have an arm saw right now but I am looking towards a Craftsman with the recall setup.
@woodrowsmith3400 I have 2 of them and love them. I'm always finding a use for them in projects. Wish I could find more blade shapes though. I run mine on the table saw. Haven't found a ras in my price range yet that's restorable or local
@@woodrowsmith3400 I've seen this setup use. Looks like a really great way to get some work done, so long as the fence is setup correctly.
Great video Mike. Hopefully you will video the Unisaw rebuild? My first table saw was a1960s Unisaw from a school shop. I really liked that thick rip blade but worried my current saw (jobsite) would have trouble spinning it.
Yes, I am going to video the rebuild. Maybe I should have run that blade on my job saw. That would have been good info.
I salute you sir! Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
