Its a beauty. Very Clever using that circular saw. Also that blue paint against that tan paint looks fantastic. You are the man when it comes to making wooden power tools. wow.
I think you should have done a melamine top as it would have held up to abuse a little better and made the surface nice and slick. It would have also required much less finishing time. I mean from an average joe perspective it's a much better option...the mdf I mean as it allows anybody to have access to the materials you used for the build. Great job as always. I understand this saw is temporary, but do you foresee any of your joints failing on this saw in future projects that may require hefty materials?
This is so much better than the first table saw my Dad made for me. It was a 3/4” piece of plywood with a circular saw mounted upside down. The homemade miter gage ran along the edge. The fence was clamped to the table. The case was a milk crate. I used it for two years until I could afford a bench top saw. I went through two bench top saws in eight years and purchased a contractors saw. That is still going 20 years later. So is the original circular saw from 30 years ago! Thanks for reminding me of my Dad. 😊
Agreed. I have a feeling that John's permanent table saw is going to make my planned purchase (Grizzly G0833P) look like an expensive investment. Oh well. Money or time: the most common trade-off.
Alan R - I am holding off on buying a new saw personally. Stopsaw's pattent will expire in about 3 years. I think that the teck will be in every saw as soon as the pattent expires. Maybe even before then.
i agree as well, but an "entry-level" woodworker most likely wouldn't be able to build it. it's not just time you need, but experience and expertise (and tools).
Excellent video and build. I have a Shopsmith since I did not have much space, but now that I will, I think I will build one for my shop! It never hurts to have more than one table saw! Thanks.
He briefly mentioned that he has already ordered the parts for his permanent table saw, so this *new* one is a temp saw until he gets all the parts to start on the final one.
I really like that one as well. Only his one is much more complex to build than John's saw right now. But given the added complexity, it sure comes with some features that Johns saw doesn't have like a tilt mechanism and a raising and lowering mechanism. But as John already pointed out, this saw is only temporary to build his big table saw which will surely have al those things as well.
I came here after seeing your newer one. Now this one I think I can have a go at. I don't think I'll live long enough to get enough skill to try the other one! This one is a great tool, the newer one is a work of art.
I’m so jealous of all your little shelves and drawers for keeping things organized, especially so since you can pull out the entire little cubby to bring the screws and things with you. My workshop is in a garage and it was my grandpas before me but it’s fairly disorganized and there’s so much to go through and I’m trying to replace things and organize it and etc
@4:07 I totally agree. I have a table saw, but I'm, unhappy with how short the table is for in-feed and out-feed, as well as the cut width isn't big at all. I like this design quite a bit. Thank you for this video, definitely inspires me to rebuild my saw to be more useful for me.
Great build, it really looks fantastic. My favourite part is when you dashed the hope of those who thought they might be able to educate you about of self centring drill bits! Can't wait to get to the build article.
You could also drill 3 holes next to each other in the center of the hinge plate and clean up with a file. You would need to counter sink the slot with a file. Then si k a screw in the middle and start adjusting. Once it's straight and flush, sink in the standard 3 holes with counter sink screws.
Thanks John. Had to buy your plans after watching the video. I already do have a commercial table saw but I've never been happy with the saw alignment and dust issues in my shed. Aluminium frame for the saw seems too weak to hold the position even after it was properly aligned after much effort. I particularly like the hinged approach for adjusting the depth of cut and getting to the saw itself. This seems like simplicity itself, rather than a complicated build around the saw then the handle to raise and lower it from without. The other thing I was rather taken with, was using el cheapo chipboard for the base components - I just happen to have plenty looking at the garbage bin for their new home - until now. Look forward to having a go at it.
I have 16 sheets of particle board that I was very close to selling.. I never knew it could look so good. Think I'll give this saw a craic.. Good man John 👍
John this is simply brilliant. I have a small Dewalt job-site table saw for my hobby shop, and I've been looking at ways to make it a bit more practical for my use. It has plenty of power for my needs, I could use more surface area on the top with a better fence and miter slots. I'm going to look into adapting this build, and instead using the motor/blade from my job-site saw instead of a skill saw.
I just bought the plans...quite a deal since he included the fence system as well which I was already looking at building. Ultimately, I still need mine to be mobile so I'll have to make some modifications, but that's no big deal. I also plan to build a router lift into mine on the right side, so I think I'll end up building an additional fence with dust collection for that part.
I love the effect of staining the particle boards. Had to read the article to figure out if you had bought coloured particle boards or done something yourself. It looks great.
Great work! I have a huge 4x8 foot table saw/router table/saber saw table consisting only of a sheet of 3/4" Baltic plywood. Made it years ago, works great. I hang it on my garage wall and lay it on saw horses to use it. I have a 4 way switched outlet on mine. If mine can produce quality cabinets and drawers, I KNOW yours can. Some day mine will give me a hernia setting it up, I like yours much better.
Best approach ever to the electrical wiring. if you know what you're doing you're going to bitch that it's wrong for your region and if you don't know what you doing you shouldn't be doing it anyway... Love it
Nothing better to start the day ( after a long night Shift) then a video from my favorite yt creator ! Again a superb article and eyecandy video. Nice work John
I built a temporary table saw 2 years ago from battery powered saw I made it work on battery or wall power. not much cut depth but its used for sheet goods works for what i intended on using it for
fantastic build, i did something similar but used the motor unit from a contractor saw - the thing is awesome and the quality of cuts far exceeds the original saw. i love your diy approach to outfitting your shop. look forward to more videos
At first glance I thought the top was that recycled plastic material I see some outdoor furniture made from. It looks really good with that blue finish on it. Sweet build John!
Is there any particular reason you've used particle board, chipboard here in the UK, rather than your usual plywood? I suppose I'm mainly curious because I find particle board to be a bit of a pig when it comes to taking screws securely.

Hey John, its looking really good! Is this now the real table saw? If so do you plan to adjust the build with an angle setting?
I think you should have done a melamine top as it would have held up to abuse a little better and made the surface nice and slick. It would have also required much less finishing time. I mean from an average joe perspective it's a much better option...the mdf I mean as it allows anybody to have access to the materials you used for the build. Great job as always. I understand this saw is temporary, but do you foresee any of your joints failing on this saw in future projects that may require hefty materials?
John Heisz - I Build It
That is a good looking saw John. Excellent work as usual.

This thing is better than a vast majority of entry-level table saws. I can't wait to see you build the "real" one.
Agreed.

even though this is a temp table saw this is still one of the best table saw builds i have seen on youtube cant wait for the big table saw build,
I don't think this is a temp anymore. The old one was.
He briefly mentioned that he has already ordered the parts for his permanent table saw, so this *new* one is a temp saw until he gets all the parts to start on the final one.
Have you seen Cosmas Bauers table saw build? You should check it out, and his channel in general.
I really like that one as well. Only his one is much more complex to build than John's saw right now. But given the added complexity, it sure comes with some features that Johns saw doesn't have like a tilt mechanism and a raising and lowering mechanism.

it's table saws all the way down!

Thank you for this video 👍👍👍 and greatings from Mainz / Germany
the blue top finish sets it apart and gives it a really classy look...excellent build
Great build. Clear cut, right to the point. I like it.

For the hinges alignment you could use CA glue, put the top in place with a perfect fit then open and add screws. Just a thought.
You could also drill 3 holes next to each other in the center of the hinge plate and clean up with a file. You would need to counter sink the slot with a file. Then si k a screw in the middle and start adjusting. Once it's straight and flush, sink in the standard 3 holes with counter sink screws.
The blue stained top has a cool textured look
I'd say you knocked this one out of the ballpark John. Great video.
I love people who make there own things, specialy you an april are my favorites
Very simple, no frills design. Great job John!
You make it all seem so easy.

I have the same saw and the same idea!

I also plan to build a router lift into mine on the right side, so I think I'll end up building an additional fence with dust collection for that part.
That's a kick-ass saw John. Looking forward for future videos with this bad boy!
It's so simple in execution but the result looks like a quality cabinet saw. If the real deal trumps this then I'm very excited to watch it unfold.
Love your Sunday video, it's our gift for the week :) Thanks John. Very nice built.
Two gifts if you read the build article, there is a bonus video there.
Really very nice one to make.I was all along waiting for such a circular table saw make. Thanks for the post.
That's the best video and the best table saw design that I've seen. Well done. Thank you and I hope you are compensated handsomely for this work.
I agree with your assessment. That is an incredibly slick table saw. Extremely well done!
I love the effect of staining the particle boards. Had to read the article to figure out if you had bought coloured particle boards or done something yourself. It looks great.
It's here! The table saw is finally here!

Man you just rock ! And for the accuracy, you ve already said it : it will be as accurate as you want it / make it to be.
You have out done your self with this build.
Now I want to see what your final table saw will be like.
Thank you for sharing
Just bought your plans,can't wait to build it .Keep up the great work John.
It’s amazing how complicated it is to come up with a design this simple. That saw is awesome!! Great build.
Well done, John. Keep it up.
WOW....thats one hell of a build.....WOW.
Nothing better to start the day ( after a long night Shift) then a video from my favorite yt creator ! Again a superb article and eyecandy video. Nice work John
I thought you'd given up on the table saw build, glad to see you decided to build it.
I built a temporary table saw 2 years ago from battery powered saw I made it work on battery or wall power. not much cut depth but its used for sheet goods works for what i intended on using it for
VERY well done John! !! !!!
Nice one sir plz keep it up
Advance congratulations for 1M
Thanks for sharing. What a fabulous project.
Brilliant John. Well Done.
Nicely done John! Looks like the perfect solution for a small shop............. :)
That is quite a gift you have.
Wow. This rocks. I don’t know if I will ever get around to building it, but I intend to buy the plans in support of this great content!
The David Attenborough of the woodworking world :) Great build !
Very cool design and build ty John.
Saw looks great. That would be a fine permanent table saw for me.
Nothing short of super awesome
Another awesome video John. Great job editing.
Very cool!! Keep up the sweet vids. I will be purchasing the fence plans once I get my work bench built.
Good work. Thanks for this clear/instructive video.
Sir... You are tempting me!!! Really nice job!
Nice saw John.
fantastic build, i did something similar but used the motor unit from a contractor saw - the thing is awesome and the quality of cuts far exceeds the original saw. i love your diy approach to outfitting your shop. look forward to more videos
this is what I would like to do- how has it worked for you for the last 4 years since you posted this?
Excellent job John!
At first glance I thought the top was that recycled plastic material I see some outdoor furniture made from. It looks really good with that blue finish on it. Sweet build John!
You're an absolute legend, Man.
Excellent build, John!
Applying the polyurethane to the parts as you go along DOES make sense! Really like the finish on the top as well.
That's a nice design. I loved the video!
great work John !
Nice work. I like that blue particle board. Actually it gives me an idea...
Oh, you don't need any ideas from me - you have already too many of your own :D
Is there any particular reason you've used particle board, chipboard here in the UK, rather than your usual plywood? I suppose I'm mainly curious because I find particle board to be a bit of a pig when it comes to taking screws securely.
Why not just buy a tablesaw?
Paint it green?
@@davidl8425 he made his own f clamps and most of the tools are diy ,,why should he not make it
Cool build John!
Very cool build and Van Halen rules!
Very nice work looks good
I think a riving knife is necessary. Second best but maybe simpler would be a splitter
Riving knife is for novice and home-owners.
Wood Cat or for People that Like to have all fingers
Thanks, plans are crazy cheap!
Thanks John, that was a good project and a nice, clear build video.
excellent build
This is so cool. Great build!
Thanks - will buy the plans and build it. And the Fence.
Looks like a great saw! Low on dust enclosed like that much better than my jobsite ridgid one
An awesome table saw .
Great work John! Thanks for sharing the table saw build.👍😎JP
Fantastic video. Very well explained. Thank you
Ein tolles Projekt das Freude macht und Spass macht beim Arbeiten 🙄👍👍👍👍👍
Well done ..... Dimention will help us as pension without wood experiences ... Thanks a lot
Great video mate.
Well done John. This is excellent content!
If this is a temporary saw let's see how the permanent one turns out! Great work as always!
Nice build.
Nice job Senor John...!
What a neat build! Wish I had a garage/workshop to put this in
This is too cool! Great design!
Great build homemade tools are awesome.
very talented guy
Selalu hadir... Salam dari indonesia,,,selalu berkarya yg luar biasa 🙏
So this is the slightly less temporary saw? Nice!
Great build video John! Top notch! Thank you
nice great work John
WoW ! Beautiful
nice build 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
GREAT ACHIEVEMENT! Thanks for sharing it JOhn.
LEGEND.
Just bought plans. Very well done!
Nice, nice, very nice.
