You do have to spend some time setting the saw up... blade, fence, etc. But once done, the saw is great. Fairly compact which is Nice ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxXh-4_3-ZT1fFWP91ZV7iVqzElr0lEb-a I did get an Incra Miter Gauge which takes some setup as well. The stock miter gauge can be adjusted in the miter slot with a little painter's tape... this tightens up the side to side play a lot.
I could not begin to tell you how many videos I have gone thru trying to find out what those white sides on a fence were and I have commented on dozens of other people's sites asking and you are the first and only one so far to show me what I wanted.
I inherited my grandfather’s old craftsman table saw a few years back. The saw has no on switch and no blade guard. Once you plug it in it’s running. The thing is terrifying but will cut anything dead nuts accurate.
The way i trim in the dial/measurement of the fence: Cut a piece, measure it and slide the indicator to the exact value while still halvung the fence locked.
I don't generally find enjoyment in other peoples' suffering, but that little 'ow' when Adam bonked his head while plugging in the table saw added that bit of authenticity and humanizing that gives me a chuckle.
AAAND that is why my office Alexa has a diferent wake word. I love listening to Bagpipes. I was stationed at an exhibiton where the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards was .They played them so beautifuly that I have a few of thier CD's that I still listen to in the car , scares the heck out of some pedestrians .
Not from Scotland but am from Wales, Irn Bru is sold all over the UK but the Scots hit the nail of the head with that drink - Fantastic beverage! We visited Scotland last year and also had a battered Mars Bar... delicious!!!
I'm in Scotland and when saw the Irn Bru (iurn broo) in a kilt I literally punched the air and exclaimed "YESS!". Warms my heart! Also I came to the comments to see fellow Scots speaking up and was not disappointed.
Me watching every episode of Tested: "Why doesn't Adam use a riving knife? He's gonna get some mean kickback some day." Adam: "So some kickback broke my rip fence..."
Only reason to run without I can think of is to push material through backwards - which can help with tearout.. I gave it a go once or twice to see how effective it was.. But definitely easier way to get the same result - bit of sacrificial board or even just masking tape can do that.
Every time I see him by that table saw I think the same. In fact, you know what: enough is enough and talk is cheap. I’m reaching out to SharkGuard who apparently makes the best splitter/riving knife for Adam’s saw and asking them to get him kitted out.
Despite that it was a real feel good episode, the guy is a famous maker genius and is still stoked about someone calling in at morning to give advice. Stoked enough to keep giving shout outs for the whole 30 minute episode 😁
Ah. Irn-Bru. You just made my day! I'm a Swede, I live in Sweden, but I had the fortune of discovering Irn-Bru at a scout camp many years ago. Nowdays it DO happen that stores get a few cases. I have no idea why, but I have more than once gotten a phonecall from a friend about it, then driven to whatever store and had the store clerk look weirdly at me as I came up with a few cases of it to the counter. Hashtag-not-addicted. ;)
Definitely. I'm a woodworker by trade (chair maker actually) and the US style of using table saws w/o splitters is driving be crazy... one of my students (actually also a woodworker by trade) took an internship in SF and returned with a bit of her pinkie missing ... beeeee-cause, you guessed it: table saw accident due to a missing splitter!
I was doing dock work for a little while and for a bit I was using hand wrenches and such, upgraded to a socket bit for my impact driver, made my job a lot easier
I love how Adam is wearing my dream shoes! I like to think he doesn’t know the value or rarity of them and just wears them because his buddy designed them! Another quality video! Thanks

Suddenly, every single commenter is Scottish, lmao. Edit: British people don't get offended over people doing our accents, enjoy yourself, we love hearing them.
Hey Adam, just wanted to say I’m a huge fan of all that you do. I’ve watched myth busters for as long as I can remember and I’m so happy that you created this channel. Watching myth busters got me into engineering and the scientific process and inspired to go to college in the pursuit of an engineering degree from NC state. Getting to watch these one day builds and seeing the ingenuity at work is awesome. Getting to your level of craftsmanship and creativity is something that I am striving to learn and hopefully put to good use later in life. Just wanted to let you know how appreciative I am for keeping science and engineering cool.
Whomever made those fence fascias has thought this out, note the thickness of the T slot. They put those as far in as they possibly could without deforming the face.
This is one of those builds where I have no idea what he's making from the title, and then even as I'm watching still have no idea what he's making, and yet I watch regardless.
Hope you enjoy the Tunnocks stuff. I used to work in the Tunnocks factory making those teacakes. At the time I was one of only 16 people who handles the mallow that goes into them...
My most recent acquisition was a table saw. Over the last few weeks, it has not only caused me the greatest injury (besides once burying a stanley blade in my arm) but it has also become my most valued cutting tool. I would truly love to see some ODBs for your table saw jigs. And I bought those socket set adapters after your vid recently. Very handy.
I'm a computer programmer. One thing I'm pretty well known for is my ability to take large projects and break them down into an assembly line type process, which enables me to build very large things very quickly. Even though it's a digital space, the physical concept of assembly line production still yields improved efficiency. Important lesson for anyone involved in STEAM work.

Adam, a riving knife will substantially reduce your kickback risk. Most safety gear gets in the way, not these. I have one on my sawstop and I only need to remove it when I install the dado blade.
I was lucky enough to spend three months in Lossiemouth near Inverness, Scotland working with the RAF. Right near the Whiskey Trail with a room in a Bed and Breakfast. Haggis, Scotch eggs, full Scottish breakfasts and Scotch whiskey!
I've always tried to understand the "tingling" that ASMR aficionados talk about. And I've never had luck until Adam burped into my headphones 🤣🤣🤣 Why of all noises did that work? Also I'm not mad, just laughing and confused.
IIRC, it was never offered on the 66 (but I might be wrong). I installed one on my 1950’s era cast iron table saw and it was a huge PITA. Though the hole in my shop wall from a kickback incident was enough incentive.
12:24 - Neatly sidestepped the rights issue by overdubbing that section with what I presume is royalty-free bagpipe music. (Yeah, an impact driver doesn't keep making that noise when it's off the nut!)
I mean to each there own but I wouldn't gird anything of mine with a girder so I beam with excitement when it's called a I beam. Haha but depends where in 'merica you are in some places they are called girders (east coast)
the manufacturer seems like a stand up guy. He must have really enjoyed making those for you. i want to try that soda now that flavor sounds interesting then again i like jack fruit. theres nothing like breathing new life into an old piece of equipment.

also the regular speed audio is a nice touch when fast forwarding though I dont mind a bit of high pitched mouse audio it can be entertaining.
The table saw needs another upgrade: a riving knife. Greatly helps in preventing kickback and injury.
IIRC, it was never offered on the 66 (but I might be wrong). I installed one on my 1950’s era cast iron table saw and it was a huge PITA. Though the hole in my shop wall from a kickback incident was enough incentive.
I'm guessing that it was Craig Ferguson that sent you the Scottish treats.
@@tiacho2893 The cut above my right eyebrow (not covered by safety glasses) was enough incentive for me.
Awesome! I just picked up one of these saws and need to do this same job with the fence! It actually came with those same style plastic fence walls
Must have been a cold day in the shop lol #bulletnips
Adam, as a proud Scotsman, Glasgow born and bred, I can assure you that I always love when you bust out your Scottish accent!
12:24 - Neatly sidestepped the rights issue by overdubbing that section with what I presume is royalty-free bagpipe music. (Yeah, an impact driver doesn't keep making that noise when it's off the nut!)
When Adam said a Scottish viewer sent him stuff I yelled "IRN BRU!" and I was right! I love Irn Bru! It's been ages since I've had it.
Made in Scotland from girders! Or I bars as mericans would say. Oh it does make you burp.
Here in new england its girders as well or I beams.
Haha👍I think it was Jamie on MB that called it that
I mean to each there own but I wouldn't gird anything of mine with a girder so I beam with excitement when it's called a I beam. Haha but depends where in 'merica you are in some places they are called girders (east coast)
the manufacturer seems like a stand up guy. He must have really enjoyed making those for you. i want to try that soda now that flavor sounds interesting then again i like jack fruit. theres nothing like breathing new life into an old piece of equipment.
I certainly try ....... Bill Choate
@@billychoate9069I need a set of these for my saw. How can I order some?
Looks like Adam needs at least 1 ratchet ring spanner ("wrench") -first reaction.. ha ha. Adam said it after an eternity of struggle
I was thinking the same thing!
Very Cool Upgrade to your Table Saw , Adam !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Cutting something is the last thing we want to do with the table saw.”
What’s the point of having a table saw, then?!
To store stuff under it...
