The wooden part is not so bad. Didn't try to lift the rest of the saw. I'm sure it's quite heavy. But nothing compared to the Felder. The base for that one is made of concrete!
Matthias Wandel I love your videos dude! Would love to see more stuff your dad made. From the cabins to his old shop and this. I think its so cool and you have carried his legacy so well!
I grew up in the late 1940's thru 50's and homemade saws were common back then. and so was standing in line at the store looking at a guy standing there with one or more digits missing.
Dear Mattias, I am a fan of you, and I have always admired each and everything you had put on youtube. You are the master. If I were your father, would be veryvery proud of you. Being your fathers age, I am proud of you anyway. Some 6-7 years ago I got the chance to visit australia, if I had known you by than, would love to visit. If you happen to be in Turkey, let me know, I am spreding your videos here, more than you could imagine. All the bast
I agree Matthias, there was a local saw mill ( still is but the guy i'm talking about passed) and the owner had a prosthetic on his right arm from the elbow down. tripped and fell on the blade cutting logs one day. Used to say "now when i reach close to the blade it only sparks!" when it hits the claw grips. !!
It's interesting to see where matthias gets it from! It seems like the way you engineer things was influenced greatly by this man, buy you take it to another level...
Thanks for the Vid! I have just trashed my third commercial saw and I am looking at something similiar to what your dad built. Thanks for the motor mount close up, I like your bandsaw as well, that'll have to wait though.
I remember my Dad made a table saw like that back in my country, wow it amazing how those things work and how they created so many things with that, good ideas he
I built a table saw using an old 'Ridged' table saw and 'Biesemeyer Fence' I cut out a section for the Ridged size to fit into the 4x8 sheet of 3/4" MDF and secured the saw into the MDF with the Biesemeyer rail. I did replace the motor with a similar 3 horse I used furniture polish on the MDF and the material being cut slid as if on ice I could cut or rip an entire 4x8 sheet without help, any way I needed I use to have a custom cabinet shop years ago and that was my table saw I used most often
I saw a piece in a woodworking mag where a guy made a saw that had height adjustment w/out tilting the saw table. Alas, the blade didn't tilt. He mounted the arbor on a 4" x 8" plank that was hinged to the bottom of the saw table. He mounted the motor to another 4" x 8" that was hinged to the arbor mount plank. The motor hung by the belt & its weight gave adequate tension to the v-belt he used.
I would love to have that shop, the big tools are just that BIG tools -- the sharper and more powerful the better, much safer than the mickey mouse tools they sell now at over the top prices -- Matt, you definitely take after your father --- once again that is one beautiful shop.
Yeah that's a beast. I bet your father wouldn't even let you use it until well past leaving home! The first table saw I ever built was similar to what what my father had built and I used it for a good 10-15 years until I decided to build something a bit better.
Appreciate people with creativity because it begets creativity. Being a hater begets...ta-dah! We watch Matthias because we are not haters and he is creative...
Have you considered using belts like that timing belt and making a wood pulley with the channels so the belt can be used the right way around? That would eliminate the slippage problems.
Hi Matthias! i love your videos, and your engeneering style about woodworking, I can learn a lot from you :) I did bought a lot of my tools, and built some as well. I'm planning to build a table saw. I hawe a 3 000 rpm/3kw motor, and an arbor, wich both hawe the same pulley. I would like to use bigger sawblades as well, up to 40-45 cm. My question is if you could tell me your opinion, is that 3 000 rpm would be sufficient for my table saw, or should I rase it a bit higher? Thanks a lot! Jenci.(from Romania)
If you're doing a through-cut, tilting the table like that would work, but in the case of a dado/rabbit/non-through-cut, the riving knife wouldn't allow you to do that (unless it's removable, of course).
I would put adjustable legs in which can be raised, you can take aluminum crutches and replace the legs , they bring adjusting heights.or take hollow pipes and put a spring in them with holes every inch and with a pin to insert on every inch you need. as a shock. Amind is like a parachute, is no good unless it opens :)
That's a nice job but I believe you when you say it intimidates you. Still, that's a good thing because table saws need respect. People do dumb things with them occasionally.
Safety glasses, yes, but it's according to how many dB's the sound of the saw running makes, for it to be harmful, and I doubt that saw would really be that loud until cutting, and even then, it may not be too bad. The loud saw motors use brushes, and this is a standard capacitor-start squirrel cage 3HP motor. Any objectionable sound will be from the air with the saw teeth. One needs to check a dB meter.
1100mm depth of cut wow camera must be deceiving!! Only joking. I’m sure it’s just a talking typo. Anyway I always wait with great anticipation for your videos. I’ve been watching for years now. Hope you get more time to do more vids. You’ve inspired me to make my own stuff. I made a retractable projector that hides in the ceiling. It had to fit between floor joists and in a depth of 210mm. Can’t buy anything like that so I designed and fabricated my own. Something I’d not have considered possible before watching you. I’m sorry to say though, it’s a metal one. Not wood. 😬
...3 Phase motors...pretty hard to get any better....good starting torque and less expensive in the 1-5 horse range....only thing, you need the 3 phase power source
Doug Ankrum It looks to me like a single phase motor. That big box on top of the motor is where starting capacitors would be located. Three phase motors do not need capacitors to start.
That could be built with any handsaw, and I'm not speaking of power. It would certainly take longer doing it manually, but could be done. If using a circle saw with a guide, you could build it pretty quick. The pulleys could be cut with a reciprocating saw, and sanded true, without a lathe, but a lathe would be better. The spindle and bearing could be made or purchased. So, you don't need a table saw to make another.
love the sliding table and the riving knife on that thing, but with the blade fixed so high.. that's really dangerous..especially for ripping small pieces
The last i noticed he wears glasses and short term those sounds are fine. if you are working in a shop where the sound never stops then yes you should. Next they will be asking for a face shield and a positive flow respirator so you don't inhale any sawdust or smoke from tools burnishing the work piece. :)
I think Fred Flintstone had a saw like this. LOL! It's a beast indeed! I think it's probably got as much cast iron in it as ALL of my tools combined (darned aluminum tables!) Don't blame you for being intimidated, it screams like a banshee. It made short work of that 4x4 didn't it!
That Shop looks super cool. Why don´t you use that one all the time? The other Room looks like it´s in your Cellar. Nothign wrong with that, but if you have something like that...? Just saying. Keep it up!
Safety is a matter of preference. People making technical videos don't need to emphasize safety in every movie. I never use ear plugs and my ears are just fine. I usually wear goggles, but sometimes I don't;especially if I misplace them, which happens quite frequently. I hate using blade guards because they always get in the way and I'd have to take it off every time I use a jig. The blade guards stifle creativity and if you use them you will be less careful about keeping fingers from the blade.
hello matthias. i read about home made planer. do you have seen somebody in america using it. it was in american magazine. i want to built my own. i in Dominican republic were is very expenses but i need to now if that work.
What a wonderfully spacious and inviting workshop your dad has! I can imagine it was a great place for you to be as a young boy watching dad work:)
C'est une œuvre d'art, nos anciens nous donnent des leçons sur la réalisation et la longévité de certaines constructions. Bravo.
The wooden part is not so bad. Didn't try to lift the rest of the saw. I'm sure it's quite heavy. But nothing compared to the Felder. The base for that one is made of concrete!
Matthias Wandel I love your videos dude! Would love to see more stuff your dad made. From the cabins to his old shop and this. I think its so cool and you have carried his legacy so well!

woodworkers missing fingers used to be not that uncommon
The rev of the saw barely got down when sawing. Awesome motor.
Dear Mattias, I am a fan of you, and I have always admired each and everything you had put on youtube. You are the master. If I were your father, would be veryvery proud of you.

Kevin Klika ya think!
I believe he learned more from his dad. Than he learned at university.
Nice bit of recycling there! And a beautiful shop!
The SawStop folks just had collective heart attacks.
Thanks for the Vid! I have just trashed my third commercial saw and I am looking at something similiar to what your dad built. Thanks for the motor mount close up, I like your bandsaw as well, that'll have to wait though.
Ahhhh, now I see where you get your knack for building awesome woodworking machines!
The acorn didn't fall far from THAT tree! Your father was obviously a father to be proud of. And I'm sure he was proud of you. :)
I remember my Dad made a table saw like that back in my country, wow it amazing how those things work and how they created so many things with that, good ideas he

I did replace the motor with a similar 3 horse I used furniture polish on the MDF and the material being cut slid as if on ice
I could cut or rip an entire 4x8 sheet without help, any way I needed
I use to have a custom cabinet shop years ago and that was my table saw I used most often
Thanks for showing us the saw. I see where you got your inventiveness from. I love the videos please keep them coming.
Nice wooden circular saw.
Good to see a proper riving knife in place.
Only thing lacking is a hand guard over the blade.
Your dad is a Woodworking guru
Heaven's to Betsy, that blade didn't even offer to choke down running that piece of timber through it. It's a sawmill.
VERY cool for home made! locking wheel, neat tracking adjustment
👍👍👍
This just reminded me I should go and watch all your old vids...
Your dad was a genius!
Do you ever cross the street? have fun walking in front of cars. Ever use the subway? Have fun stepping into the trench..
What are you referring to? I'm cutting wood, not cloth.
I saw a piece in a woodworking mag where a guy made a saw that had height adjustment w/out tilting the saw table. Alas, the blade didn't tilt.
He mounted the arbor on a 4" x 8" plank that was hinged to the bottom of the saw table. He mounted the motor to another 4" x 8" that was hinged to the arbor mount plank. The motor hung by the belt & its weight gave adequate tension to the v-belt he used.
I always found the most intimidating machine in a workshop was a Wadkin Tenoner, walking past the spinning cutting blocks!!
genius. love it. Wish my house was as big as that workshop!
Holy crap! Just listening to it start up is terrifying!
heffatheanimal
It's got a riving knife...
It'll be ok.😎
I would love to have that shop, the big tools are just that BIG tools -- the sharper and more powerful the better, much safer than the mickey mouse tools they sell now at over the top prices -- Matt, you definitely take after your father --- once again that is one beautiful shop.
Yeah that's a beast. I bet your father wouldn't even let you use it until well past leaving home! The first table saw I ever built was similar to what what my father had built and I used it for a good 10-15 years until I decided to build something a bit better.
What makes you think he didn't use a table saw?
i'd like to see you build one using the same method as your home made jointer for adjusting the depth of cut. that would be sweet.
Appreciate people with creativity because it begets creativity.
Being a hater begets...ta-dah! We watch Matthias because we are not haters and he is creative...
He could weld. Used an old fashioned lincoln stick welder
your dads shop is amazing
That is a real man's table saw. It is really cool that you guys are the family of Awesome Inventions
Have you considered using belts like that timing belt and making a wood pulley with the channels so the belt can be used the right way around? That would eliminate the slippage problems.
What a brilliant design! A very clever fellow indeed! :-)
Excellent, very impressive!
Too bad so many kilometers divide us, because I have come to see your staff all the work! :)
Congratulations!!!
looks like a very nice shop.
that is a great saw your dad built it strong
Hi Matthias!
i love your videos, and your engeneering style about woodworking, I can learn a lot from you :)
I did bought a lot of my tools, and built some as well.
I'm planning to build a table saw. I hawe a 3 000 rpm/3kw motor, and an arbor, wich both hawe the same pulley. I would like to use bigger sawblades as well, up to 40-45 cm.

Awesome.
I will borrow some design ideas on that one for sure.
If you're doing a through-cut, tilting the table like that would work, but in the case of a dado/rabbit/non-through-cut, the riving knife wouldn't allow you to do that (unless it's removable, of course).
Impressive wood shop...
Wow ! that's what you call a beast of a table saw .... LOL .... your Dad is a genius ...
I would put adjustable legs in which can be raised, you can take aluminum crutches and replace the legs , they bring adjusting heights.or take hollow pipes and put a spring in them with holes every inch and with a pin to insert on every inch you need. as a shock. Amind is like a parachute, is no good unless it opens :)
Id like to build one of these, except i think id make the arbor move up and down, and tilt....very cool though.
That's a nice job but I believe you when you say it intimidates you.
Still, that's a good thing because table saws need respect. People do dumb things with them occasionally.

The loud saw motors use brushes, and this is a standard capacitor-start squirrel cage 3HP motor. Any objectionable sound will be from the air with the saw teeth. One needs to check a dB meter.
Table saw or small saw mill?
Thanks for pointing that out. Just fixed it.
1100mm depth of cut wow camera must be deceiving!!

I sounds like that motor has the RPM's really high as well. I understand why it is a little intimidating to use. Very cool though!
...3 Phase motors...pretty hard to get any better....good starting torque and less expensive in the 1-5 horse range....only thing, you need the 3 phase power source
Doug Ankrum It looks to me like a single phase motor. That big box on top of the motor is where starting capacitors would be located. Three phase motors do not need capacitors to start.
I see that welding was required on the rip fence and arbor mount, was your dad a welder as well as a woodworker?
keep in mind that it's a 2nd table saw. I imagine that his dad uses it more to cut thick rough lumber more than anything that might be smaller.
very nice workshop!
What a cool table.
That could be built with any handsaw, and I'm not speaking of power. It would certainly take longer doing it manually, but could be done. If using a circle saw with a guide, you could build it pretty quick. The pulleys could be cut with a reciprocating saw, and sanded true, without a lathe, but a lathe would be better.

Man, oh man. . .amazing.
love the sliding table and the riving knife on that thing, but with the blade fixed so high.. that's really dangerous..especially for ripping small pieces
Ok, Mathias , I'm woodworker too, and I like see you making a vertical saw...
It is a beast!
I can see why you have thought it intimidating.
:-)
The last i noticed he wears glasses and short term those sounds are fine. if you are working in a shop where the sound never stops then yes you should. Next they will be asking for a face shield and a positive flow respirator so you don't inhale any sawdust or smoke from tools burnishing the work piece. :)
Mathias great job
oops, yes. 1100 mm would be awfully big even for a sawmill!
I think Fred Flintstone had a saw like this. LOL!
It's a beast indeed! I think it's probably got as much cast iron in it as ALL of my tools combined (darned aluminum tables!)
Don't blame you for being intimidated, it screams like a banshee. It made short work of that 4x4 didn't it!
That Shop looks super cool. Why don´t you use that one all the time?
The other Room looks like it´s in your Cellar.
Nothign wrong with that, but if you have something like that...? Just saying.
Keep it up!
I'd say that this is more of an edger than a table saw. Still, it is a beast. A real "Nail Trimmer" -- if you know what I mean.
Did Fred Flintstone make that?
Congratuleation you are the best
Don't know. But there's no question that the UA-cam safety brigade is still active!
Matthias Wandel + And the emergency rooms.
where can I get an arbor shaft that can be accept in a pillow block?
Safety is a matter of preference. People making technical videos don't need to emphasize safety in every movie. I never use ear plugs and my ears are just fine. I usually wear goggles, but sometimes I don't;especially if I misplace them, which happens quite frequently. I hate using blade guards because they always get in the way and I'd have to take it off every time I use a jig. The blade guards stifle creativity and if you use them you will be less careful about keeping fingers from the blade.
jjenson2006 + Safety is a mater of preference? Shills are a mater of ignorance.
You should consider using a clip-on microphone for the wide shots. The audio sometimes is rather suboptimal :-).
la verdad loco muy buena la mesa te felicito!!
Matthias, If you're going to make rip cuts on cloth like that, you should really consider using a push stick.
I don't blame you for being intimidated by that saw! But it is beautiful.
A woodworker does what a woodworker does.i think it's cool
It looks like it runs vere smooth..
Have you checked to see what the rpm of the blade is on that saw?
How did he build that table saw without a table saw??
are you planning on fixing it, cuz i didnt hear fist few secs
Meet my table saw, THE SPRUCE LEE.
Approach with caution, It can kickback the acorns off of ya.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The link in the description does not work.
Homemade is spelled wrong.
you re the boss....nice work...
esa sierra es una preciosidad gracias
Hi Matt, where's the vaccum cleaner?
jeez what id do for a workshop like that!!!!!
Oh what I would give for that much space in my shop! I share a one car garage with a Ford Escort.
yikes
i would bbe scared of that
but dude when can we expect to see your wooden space shuttle?
How many N*m of torque must that motor have?
hello matthias. i read about home made planer. do you have seen somebody in america using it. it was in american magazine. i want to built my own. i in Dominican republic were is very expenses but i need to now if that work.
Sorry if I miss understand your question. But are you asking if a home made planer will work? If so Mathias has a video on his.
Decades ago Popular Mechanics magazine published plans for a planer. books.google.com/books/about/40_Power_Tools_You_Can_Make.html?id=G-jyPQAACAAJ
I laughed when you said you were intimidated by the saw, and then proceeded to end the video abruptly XD
Dude, u r talented! u must have some mechanical background!
nice table ! its a killer!
Matthias Wandel don't listen listen to these ppl, keep engineering and making awesome machines and video's. Thanks
"I admit it's a little bit intimidating..." 4:28 (flicks switch, jumps out of the line of fire)
sorta reminds me of the first saw I built...but with a riving knife :)
I'll buy it
