Great video Dave ..... keep them coming
Thanks David, keep sharing them and I will try to keep up the pace.
I love your shop. I left a job to start a new one last year and was immediately laid-off at the beginning of the COVID outbreak. My boys do not have a reliable babysitter nor a daycare in town. I started building furniture last year to compensate for the loss of income. I started with a drill, impact driver, handsaw, and various hand tools. I now have a router, router table with a lift, many router bits, miter saw, table saw, skill saw, shop vacuum, dust collection system, air compressor, various pneumatic nailers, and much more. I am amazed by how quickly I was able to acquire new tools while saving money and paying bills. Thank you for the video.
Hi Brian Monroe! Good on you for being pro active.
I love the evenness of the light in your workshop. No shadows. Better for tired old eyes. I think I need a Sherlock Holmes eyeglass.
David I just used your idea for my SawStop, no holes on my fence, amazing! Thanks for taking the time to show us how.
Glad it helped!
Amazing work David...you put a lot of work and thought into it... great work...
Glad you enjoyed it.
Dave, I just completed adding the JessEm guides to my SS. Used your idea so I can remove the guides when I need to attach my router fence and I didn’t want to drill into my saw fence. Great idea and video. Thx from USA.
Glad it worked for you Stephen!
No talking - but I love your voice David! But on the flip side just watching work processes without voice is actually very relaxing for some reason. Timothy Wilmots does 'silent' woodworking videos very well, and they're very relaxing to watch.
Thanks for braving the cold temps to bring us this video.
I want to thank you for the great idea. I built one to fit my SawStop fence. Not only the JessEm guide is now portable, I also think it is a lot easier to do this way than drilling holes into the metal fence.
Thanks for the compliment!
Thanks for this video. I copied your design and build a setup for my table saw. Wasn't too hard and works well. Very nice that it's removable. Thanks again.
Thanks Bob!
Nice! Wasn't sure why the holes were drilled from underneath. I didn't do that. I also don't have the cool helmet and great outfeed table set up. Genius!
There used to be a manufacturer's badge on top of the fence and I created a pocket to house it. I have since removed the badge.
Thanks Dave... Nicely done, I really like the idea of not having it on the fence all the time as I have other jigs I use. I will be buying a set of these now! Cheers!!!
Glad to help
Great video Dave. You make it look simple but I know how much fiddling about these projects take. The Jessem guides are a class act. I installed mine months ago and I admit they haven't had a huge amount of use, however I think as I start building my cabinets that will change. Great explanation of using Jessem clearcuts especially placement while cutting.
Thanks Dave. I made one to your specs and love it. Luckily, my plywood was exactly the thickness of the 150 pound Mag Switches, so the whole job took about an hour. This is rock solid and I love the simplicity of removing it to put other jugs on my fence.
Thanks Bill Kelly!
Dave, I just purchased the Jessem hold downs and I mounted them as you illustrated in your video. They work great and your detachable mount was the best way to go. Thanks for the great idea.
My pleasure Joe!
Excellent idea to keep my fence in tact! Thank you David, I'll make sure to use your affiliate links. And thanks for the Amazon links. Great advice on the outfeed table guide adjustment, such an important safety tip.
My pleasure Michael Vila !
I just ordered my sawstop and picked up a set of the jessem guides as well. Im glad I saw this before it all came because I was iffy on drilling into the fence. Now I just have to buy some mag switches
Sounds like a plan Kyle Verduin
Very cool..Im stealing this idea
Have fun
Dave, this is pure and simple genius. The stock guides are useful and precise, and make ripping much safer, but I wouldn’t be able to use them if I had to unscrew them every time I needed the bare rip fence. This plan makes installing and removing a matter of seconds, so I don’t hesitate to use them. I made a simple chute under the saw table for storing. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I like this idea, I might use if on my saw for board buddies.
its Very Very good , perfect real security , congratulações .
I just bought one of these, and was concerned about drilling into the fence, and along I stumble onto this video. Great idea and well executed. Exactly what I was looking forward. Many thanks and continued success my good man.
Thanks!
Your welcome. I started building your inspired attachment of the base, but I started wondering a few things. Will the addition of the height at all impede the cutting depth of the guide? @@DavidStanton
I haven't found that to be the case. The legs on the guide are extendable in their adjustments.
Purchased the jessems on sale and then picked the mag switches. Haven’t used them yet but I have high hopes. Thanks for for video!
It does the job for me S.P.K SR.
Great video well done production.. I think i will pick me up some of those.
Thanks Dave great content
Excellent idea, Dave!
Glad you like it!
Thanks for this great idea and video!
Awesome video Dave.
Thanks!
Great idea! Thank you.
thanks, just got these guilds. will be doing this asap.
Excellent video and one Awesome shop! Thank you.
Thanks for the compliment Elvis!
These were so Nice My wife said they even did the dishes for her!
Very interesting video!
Good stuff Dave, Love your shop and all the out feed surface. Very clean and good to the eye's (subscribed)
Welcome !
Great video David. I had just bought the Jessem guides today on sale at Woodcraft and found your installation. Glad I did. Thank you!
Let me know what you think of them when they are fitted. I use mine for larger sheet goods.
I just did the same but used the Mag90s. They were out of the 150s
how much did you get the guides for on sale?
Mag switches are a great idea , wasn’t a fan off making a box to fit over my fence , thanks
My pleasure.
Stumbled across this old video... not only will I use the Magswitch idea for my Jessem stock guides, but that trick of using the clamp to secure the far side of the fence is great (10:18). My Delta fence only locks on the near side rail and this would eliminate any little bit of fence flex when cutting heavy/large stock. For light weight or small cuts the fence is solid, but large stock may cause some movement and this will greatly reduce that chance.
Glad it helped!
Really good video. LOVE the audio!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Someone on Sawmill Creek forum posted this link. I’m a subscriber now.
Welcome!
damn I'm glad I watched this video, course it was after I had already installed mine and ironically enough we had same idea on magswitches! I made 2 mistakes, 1: I tried to use 95lb magswitches and that didn't work out so well and 2: I missed in the manual the adjustment at 30° and extending the arms down to touch tablesaw top so thank you very much for enlightening me! Great video David Stanton.
My pleasure T W !
almost bought 95lb magswitches thanks for letting us know it does not work with these guides.
@@aaragon6866 in all fairness it might work "ok" but if you get a kick back, 95 won't hold your mount to the fence. 150lb will for sure
What was the thought process for the 150# magnets? I just bought my clear cut today and was going to make this, but I have already bought the 60# magnets. Curious to the rationale to the 300# of force.
@@perridyer7292 60lb won't hold it down
Great idea and vid
Thanks Joseph!
Recently purchased the JessEm table saw stock guides. I came across this video on installation and I rather like it, and plan to install mine in the same manner. Everything’s clear to me on construction except the term “ Create a clearance pocket for badges that may sit proud”. I see that you used the Forster bit on the back of the piece, and would appreciate your explanation at your convenience. I am a new subscriber to your channel now. Thank you.
Thank you Chuan Li! There is a brand name badge on the top of my rip fence.
Amitofo
great idea Dave! I'm going to copy your idea
Great, send me a photo when it's done!
David Stanton will do!!
Nice video, great detail. Curious what the material is that you have used for your bench tops.
square-formed laminex with what is probably a 32mm chipboard substrate.
Thanks so much. I was curious about the formed edges.
Excellent vid, thx. I apologize for going off topic, but what is the head gear you are using? Feel free to include an affiliate link if you have one. Thx.
Dave, great video and it is still helping your audience 3 years later. I'm considering getting the Jessem Stock Guides but I need to some advice. I have a Delta 36-725 Saw and the inside dimension between the fence faces is 1 -15/16ths and not the 2 inches this system requires for mounting the guide rail. However, if I use your approach, I could mount the rail on a piece of plywood that could be cut to fit between the rails. As long as I don't exceed the prescribed 3.3" height above the saw top, do you think this is a sound approach?
Hi Edward. My setup is 2 and 7/8ths" to the bottom of the stockguides bar. I can't make more comment than that, a question for Jessem.
David... nicely done video> i have the guides and think they are great. The one question/concern I have is how to push the wood (timber) past the guides when it is a narrow piece. I've been using a long push stick to get it through but was wondering if you had a work-through idea for this issue when the front guide gets a bit in the way.
Good question!
Great idea, what are the hold downs on each end of the jig and where can I get them?
Thank you Gregory R Anderson ! They are magswitches. You can get them here. amzn.to/2t7A8qX
Your use of Mag Switches is great and especially timely since I have a few that are little-used and just got home with a new set of the Jessem hold downs. Since my old Powermatic 72 is 38" front to rear across the cast iron, I think I'll use a Mag Switch as a hold down for the tongue of the fence too. Is there any reason these saw guides can't be reversed to the opposite side of the fence for use on a table-extension router table? I'd appreciate the feedback of owner/users of these guides. Thank you all.
Thank you Mark Koons ! I have done a video on it ages ago. Here it is. ua-cam.com/video/gQjeCmIuSTw/v-deo.html
Great video Dave ! It’s wood not timber👍😊
Well done Dave of course, but I picked up a funny things on the video? You especially created a well for your fence badge...but at 11.29 from there on your fence doesn't have a badge anymore?
Thanks Steve. Yes I removed the badge because I am going to make more jigs further down the track. I think I can get a sticker for the brand which will speed things up for me.
ahhhh thought as much.....the first thing I did was remove the Harvey Sticker it was aweful, I hate stickers that brand it they are ugly.
I like them and going to get a pair. But for nw I have a question what is the best 10" table saw blade to buy to use on Melamine and Baltic birch so I don't get all the chipping. Need a clean edge. Thanks, Tom Pittsburgh Steeler Nation USA
Nice idea. Going to be using this one! Is it just me or does that $300 festool driver sound like a ryobi drill right before the battery dies?
Not sure.
I have a Delta 36-725t2 and the fence track is smaller than this product. Do you know of any mag switches that are longer than the ones you are using? I need it to set above the fence channel. Your help is appreciated. Elegant solution.
Charles, there are smaller strength magnets but you would need a couple more to make up the difference in strength.
I know its a video is older but I have a quick question. I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of these and wanted to know if you noticed any firmer resistance when pushing the wood through due to these?...awesome idea on the jig, im definitely building the jig for my sawstop if i end up buying the jessem guides.....Video liked! 👍👌
Only a little as expected but they are invaluable for me when pushing larger boards and sheet goods through the tablesaw.
Thanks David for the answer, but I was talking about the length from knob to base. The reason for the question is that width of my fence does not allow me to place the device directly on the fence. I must create a layer to bring it up to the level of the ridge and then place the magnets in each end as you did. I estimate that it would be the width of a 2 x 4. That is the reason for a longer magnet. You had to reduce the height. So...are there any magnets that are longer that you know about?? As you can tell, I am a newbie. Thanks for your help.
OK, I get it, you mean deeper? Well, the smaller load magnets are narrower and may well fit in a narrower fence situation. MAG-0004 is a 30 mm wide unit that overall width is 33mm.
Why did you decide to screw the Magswitches to the board? Wouldn't the wood be held down to the fence by the Magswitch? Sorry for the naive question, I love this idea and should have everything for it by tomorrow. Thanks for sharing.
So they don't fall out when not being used.
Great video, did you use Baltic Birch ply and that is why you had to thickness plane the ply?
Hoop pine.
I David
Great video, I ordered my JessEm for the router , If my trials are OK I shall think to get one for the Table Saw, speaking of which I have the H & Forbes `12" T/S...how do you hold the Poly Urethane sides on the mitre fence? could you let me know please
Jack from G C
Thanks Jack. I am not familiar with the Hare and forbes saw you mention and also not sure about the ply urethane sides you mention. Do you mean poly ethylene ? I hope the clear cuts work well for you.
Hi David, Thank you for your reply re the mitre fence on the T/Saw, I meant the white polymer strips about 3" x say 1/2" thick x the length of the mitre fence, for easy gliding the cutting material, I cannot see any screw heads holding it to the fence ! is not glued on is it?. How is fixed to it?
For your info Hare and forbes is major Australian Machinery house for metal and wood working, the Table saw is the same as what you have from Carbatec but with different badge on it.
For your info I just purchased The Mitre Set from US when I was there, just recently , I remember you were doing a video on it.
Regards
Jack
Keep up the good work
Dave, what is the saw out feed, your other surfaces, etc. made of? Are they Formica, wood, or granite?
Formica John. I love it but not everyone's cup of tea.
What saw blade do you use on your table saw for cutting melamine?
Thanks for another great video.
There are a few good blades out there but try using my method if you are using a cabinet saw that doesn't have a scribing blade. ua-cam.com/video/-jDQANoRHwI/v-deo.html
Dave, is a 5" (125mm) high fence too big for these? While my table saw fence is roughly the same as yours my router table has a bigger fence and I've seen woodworkers use these for both rather than the extra expense of buying the Jessem router specific guides. So if I extend the arms as far as possible would it fit?
I will try to remember to check the height the next time I am in the shed John. I know hey will work with a 12 inch saw (mine is 10 inch)
I'm referring to fence height, Dave, not blade diameter
Yes John, aware of that.
Checked last night John. Yes, 5 inches is too tall.
Thanks for that Dave. I was hoping to only buy the table saw version and also use them on my router table as some do. I'll have to do some clever modifications to my router table fence.
Hey Dave, any reason why you didn't use a trim router? Or was the table what you had available?
Are there any au stockists of the guides? And do you still use or recommended them?
I still use them Tom. What country are you in? Can let you know stockists.
@@DavidStanton I'm in Australia
Where do I purchased have these Jessem table stock guides in australia?
www.gregmach.com/product/jessem-clear-cut-stock-guides-ts/
My saw stop contractors jobsite. fence is not magnetic. And the adjustment handle, for lack of better word, is on the top of the fence. OH what to do?
Hi James Blanchard. Those saws are typically for a jobsite, not a dedicated workshop and because they are very light weight for transport some of the features such as heavy fences are not included.
Which magswitch did you use Dave? There seem to be a bunch of them out there. Great video!
30 mm Keith.
David Stanton Thanks Dave!
Why did you drill out the space on the bottom of the plywood?
Hi Edward Gibbons! There was a company brand badge ontop of the rip fence.
Doesn't seem like this will work for the DeWalt 7491 RS. Or am I mistaken?
Correct. These are designed for heavier cabinet saws.
@@DavidStanton Thank you for taking the time to reply.
why were you "jiggling" the board when you had nearly finished the cut? was it to position the board closer to the fence?
I don't see these guides being very helpful on such a large sheet, they are useful on smaller rips.
I was demonstrating how the guides hold the panel in place so well that even when I tried to bounce the board around or even pull it back towards me the guides held it secure.
David Stanton ok, thank you
Jello jiggler 😂
Impossible to cut hand or fingers if they never go near the blade! 101 of table saw safety. That, and dad just say'n, 'do'n't do stupid shit' to start with!
Hi Steve Grumpka! Sounds like a plan.
After a few years the o-rings or tires on these things melted into a sticky mess. I have never seen o-rings do that. In addition to ruining the stock I was cutting the rollers have that goop on them and I don't know how to clean them since they have the one way bearing in them. I loved these things until this happened. Now I would not buy them again.
UPDATE: I finally got in contact with Jessem's Customer Support. The urethane o-rings on the stock guides are affected by high humidity and especially salt air and I assume heat. I live on a little peninsula on the South Texas coast so my shop has plenty of salt laden humidity. The solution is to remove the stock guide arms with the rollers and store them in the house when they are not in use. If they are used frequently I would check them frequently to see if they are starting to get soft. Jessem's representative said these are special o-rings and other types of rubber will not work. They are sending me replacement rollers so they have good support.
Hi Donald. Good to hear that Jessem isn't afraid of letting you know the truth about their product and also that they are sending replacement parts for your particular climatic conditions.
I bought one just a few weeks ago whwn it was on sale otherwise couldnt justify the cost. Little did know that even a good idea/product can be limited by its weakest link. The set i received only had 4 socket screws with wing nuts even though there are 8 holes made for them. There are 4mon each side of the aluminum extrusion and in order to remain ridgid over the years it need secure hold down. Well apparently spending over $250 did not justfy adding 8 screw sets vs half. Shame thst the customer service was zero help. I remain loyal to companies with good customer service but that was not my experience so will be returning product.
Hi John. As you can see from the video I screwed mine down to a piece of ply and it works great. Interesting that you have some kind of for site that you believe the unit will fail in a few years when you have only had it a couple of weeks?
Having the plywood insert fit so tightly might push the faces of your fence out of square a bit.
Not a chance. It is a snug fit but the mag switches are doing all the work.
@@DavidStanton 6:40, you are putting a lot of force to fit the assembly to squeeze it between the fence faces. Whatever you say, but I myself wouldn't make it so snug if I wanted my fences to stay 90 degrees to the TS surface.
Noooooooooo, I really like your videos as you talk people through. Don't become one of them special needs You tubers that have speak impediments...
I might mix it up a bit?
