    Quick note on the table saw gauge, when checking blade alignment to the miter slot you are only validating blade trueness when leaving the gauge stationary and rotating the blade. To check the blade to slot, start at the front of blade then slide the gauge to back of blade. Reference the same tooth in the blade for best accuracy. I have been enjoying your channel. Keep up the good work!

    Flynndogg,
    Good information as usual. When you use the dial indicator on the blade as in your video, I'm not sure what you are checking. Assuming the arbor nut is tight unless the blade is bent you should not find any difference.
    The dial indicator is used to check whether the blade is parallel to the track. This is done by marking a spot on the blade as far from the arbor as practicable. You should mark where the dial indicator is making contact to the blade with a Sharpie. Rotate the blade 180° and move the dial indicator to the spot that was marked. The difference will be an indicator of whether or not the blade is parallel.
    You can buy a calibration disk. This keeps your fingers safe from the teeth of the saw. The calibration disk, with some adhesive and sandpaper can turn your tablesaw into a disk sander.

    In the last year I have ordered dozens of tools from Temu. Almost everything has been really good (been woodworking for more 30 years as a high school teacher). My favourite items so far are the Ruitools diamond stones, the tiny plane(which when tuned up is my absolute go to), the little router plane which I now use more than my Stanley one, mechanical pencils, a bunch of fences and t-track and several squares, all which are actually square. Price wise it’s a no brainer and nothing has arrived damaged. In fact the list of good stuff is too long compared to just a couple of items that weren’t great.

    Good video. I like knowing ahead of time if some of these budget items from China are any good. I wanted to let you know that I took the plunge recently and order a few items from Banggood. Of course, I want to support American companies whenever I can but the alternative to what I purchase is not actually from an American company and is twice as much for what I paid for its Asian equivalent. I'm referring to the Chinese equivalent of the Jessum table saw stock guide. I just started using the Hongdui guide yesterday. I have never used the Jessum brand but I will say that the Hongdui doesn't appear to be a knock off. It actually looks pretty identical to the Jessum guide. So much so that, and I could be wrong but, I suspect they are made from the same tooling. The guide works very well with no issues and it's half the price of the Canadian counterpart. I also picked up a 39" inch T square. It also appears to be very accurate and a good buy. With free shipping and taking a little less than 2 weeks to arrive at my door I can't complain! I thought I'd mention it. I wasn't sure if you've done any videos from Banggood or not. Thanks for the video!

    I've ordered from Temu several times and I've yet to receive a package that's as battered as you and other Americans seem to get. Not to mention anything being banged up enough for them to be damaged right from the start. I'd probably look at your local couriers / USPS / whatever delivers the last leg for those responsible for the damages.
    Otherwise I do agree with what I see often: A lot of the gear is often really tiny, some are really poor quality while others may surprise you, but most often you're just surprised for once you actually received something useful.

    You did not do the blade calibration at all. Mark a tooth. Turn the blade until that tooth is at the front of the throat, set the gauge. rotate the blade to where that same tooth is at the back at the throat, check with the gauge and if there is a difference or not, that will tell you what if anything needs adjusting.

    @Flynndogg Woodwork I've only received a couple of orders from Temu. No packaging damaged at all. But what I have noticed is that stuff I've seen is counterfeit.
    I recently bought from TEMU an "Original' German made Hurricane lantern from an apparently well known German maker.
    The packaging says "MODEL IN GERMANY". The attached tag, which is a copy of the genuine makers tag says "MODEL IN GERMANY". The lanterns glass lens says "MODEL IN W.GERMANY". It has "W.GERMANY" embossed on the metal body.
    But underneath the base of the lamp it has the embossed words "MADE IN CHINA".
    But I have run the lantern for several hours and it seems to work fine… for now.
    It seems to be well made. I guess time will tell. So until it stops working, I will give it a "Chinese Clap" for functionality, and a "Chinese Crap" for dishonesty.
    It is clearly a dishonest counterfeit of the genuine German product. But it was dirt cheap.
    A very nicely made and fitting cap I bought from Temu has NO manufacturers label inside. That is dodgy.

    • @FlynndoggWoodwork
      @FlynndoggWoodwork  9 місяців тому +1

      Totally agree. That has been exactly my experience as well. I actually did a video on many of the issues you spoke of last summer. Temu also avoids paying import or duty taxes by making sure orders are less than $800 apparently.

    The Amazon ship times for non-Prime members is about a week as it is. Hell, they can’t even keep their 2 day promise for most of my wife’s Prime orders. And Temu seems to only be getting faster with their deliveries. Most of my deliveries from them are at about a week and a half.
    You’ll wait longer for Temu, but if you do some research, you’ll have a good idea of what is junk and what isn’t. And if we’re being honest with ourselves, Amazon offers almost as much garbage for sale as Temu does. So you’ll save a bunch of money on the stuff that isn’t junk, not have to pay for a premium membership, aren’t being lied to about shipping times, and only have to wait a few more days than non-Prime shipping times. The only real downside to Temu is the return process is a pain.

    The link to the tool I was interested was not helpful. Temu is okay with reservation. The return process is slow and uncertain. Every package I have received has been damaged and one item was malled, requiring return and the endurance of 5 emails from seller offering to discount the unusable item during that process. Not recommended for delicate or precision tool purchases.
