Because of this video, you led me to measure the blade distances, front to back, I found the problem. The fence was a 16th closer at the back of the blade. i had a few kickbacks, burning wood as I attempt to do a rip cut. Now I make sure the measurements are the same on both ends, result, no binding. wood cuts like butter again.Thank you for sharing this safety tip, it saved me from buying another table saw!
I think my fence is out of alignment which caused binding and burning, which then dulled the blade. This is exactly the information I needed! Thank you for taking the time to explain and educate!
Thankyou very much. I bought one of those 12v mini table saws for my modelling which was binding. NOW I KNOW!! It seems logical to me now, and I thought about the fact that after the teeth, the gap doesn't need to be the same. It can be wider. Back to the bench. ;-)
Thank you very much for such an important video on how to use the table saw correctly, I loved the video, I saw it in its entirety and I appreciate such excellent work.
Thank you very much...but now I am even more worried. I bought what was described in many reviews as a "good beginner" table saw for people who do not use it a lot. (Was about 300$) But my fence is not adjustable and the wood keeps binding. Do I have to measure this now every single time and just tap the fence in place? 😢
Thank you for this video! BTW, is that an old Marantz receiver in the background (in the cabinet)? Sure looks like the one I still use in my home office 🙂
Thank you , you answered my question as to why is my board binding. You saved my belly from drinking less beer, lol just joking i would never ever do that. You explain it clear and precise and i do appreciate that.
Hi,my blade on my table saw is some how tilted and I can't get it to straighten up,so whenever I start the machine the blade chips of a piece of the plate insert...if you can help me with any suggestions,thanks
i was making a few rip cuts as normal, but then i needed to re-saw a board, so i initially made the cut which had no issues at all, but then i flipped the piece (the face grain is now against the fence and the edge grain is flat on the table) and tried to make the cut, the piece began to pinch on the blade, i thought it was just the one piece but when i tried it 3 times with different pieces they all pinched, so i decided to abort.. but when i thought about it, I've only ever seen woodworkers re-saw a board on a band saw or plane a piece down to the required thickness and never do what I did.. thankfully nothing bad happened,
Dont forget about stress in the wood thats releasing as you cut. I had a piece of purple heart that wouldnt make it half way through the blade without pinching bad enough to stall the saw
I avoid using my Table Saw, it scares the crap out me. Today I was ripping only a small 18 inch board. I got half way through and it started binding up. I stopped... and that was it for the day. Now I've watched this, Ill have another crack at it tomorrow.
I was doing my first rip cut last night and the board started to bind. (The lumber has a height of about 4”) My first thought was that I needed to supply more pressure in order to push the board through the cut. I was able to slowly finish the cut but the binding was so bad that the blade slowed down to a stop a couple of times. Required turning off the machine, removing board, then restarting. Luckily it never kicked back. Honestly I didn’t know what this was called. I didn’t know it was binding. I thought maybe this is was happens when you rip larger pieces of wood. My project requires that I make 8 of these cuts. I only made two last night then stopped because I could tell something wasn’t right. I unplugged the saw and measured from the blade to the miter slot rail. The blade is 1/16” closer to the slot at the front, then the back. I didn’t think that that would be significant enough to cause an issue, but maybe it is. I also checked the guide fence to the miter slot rail and the fence alignment appears to be ok. My plan is to realign the saw blade to the miter slot rail. I hope this helps. I will also check the measurement from the blade to the fence as you have suggested.
@@SawsHub yes I actually realigned the blade this morning then checked measurements to the fence. Now - no more binding! I was able to finish my cuts safely! Thank you for the tips.
@@dllamaree i bought my first machine and it came in today. Seems mine is misaligned too. I had the exact same meaurements front and back of the blade but didn't know about alignment and binding. I actually found this video because i googled "wood gets stuck table saw"😂
You may want to try working up to that depth of cut over a few different passes as well. Unless you're just shaving an edge, trying to make a max depth cut in one pass is going to bog down just about any table saw no matter how aligned it is.
Or maybe your lumber??.... You seem like someone who knows to point this out? All of the sudden, out of the blue one cut jams on the riving knife..... Probably not your fence jumping out of alignment for no reason....
Thank you. This was so helpful as it explained it all so clearly and gave some great tips.
Thanks for the clear explanations and tips for measuring to the fence.

This was very informative and really helped me in my woodworking problem. Thank you so much for posting this, for all of us to see.
Very helpful. Easy to understand.
Thank you so much. I’m about to rip some plywood sheets down for a ship lap project and I was absolutely going to stand behind the boards.
Glad I could help!
I have been "making saw dust" for some time, your tips are great!
Usefull!!!
Thanks!!!

Yes, happened to me. Luckily just a big bruise on my abdomen. Thank you for a great demonstration.
Thank you great safety and practical tips, very well explained and presented
Take care

Awesome tips, thank you
Awesome video! Great tip to use a sharpie and measure of the back is thinner than the front of the blade. Thanks for the great info.
Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the education sir
Sure thing!
Hi,my blade on my table saw is some how tilted and I can't get it to straighten up,so whenever I start the machine the blade chips of a piece of the plate insert...if you can help me with any suggestions,thanks
The set screws for my fence loosened slightly (there is no lock screw for it) and i ended up warping my blade
good video, i learned a lot
Well done!
Great video. Thank you sir
Very welcome!

Rip cuts especially can be very dangerous on a table saw! You're smart to play it safe :)
I have a Dewalt Portable table saw and it kicks back without the fence.
My issue turned out to be my blade was thinner than my riving knife. Increased the thickness of my blade and no more binding.
I was doing my first rip cut last night and the board started to bind. (The lumber has a height of about 4”) My first thought was that I needed to supply more pressure in order to push the board through the cut. I was able to slowly finish the cut but the binding was so bad that the blade slowed down to a stop a couple of times. Required turning off the machine, removing board, then restarting.

Going through and resetting everything you mentioned is the right approach
