The legendary TS10L
Posted on April 1, 2010 by Stuart
Despite information to the contrary, it appears that Carbatec Perth have received a shipment of the impressive TS10L tablesaw (the same one that graces my workshop). No idea what this means about their availability, or what price they are, but if you are in the market for a great 10″ tablesaw, it’d be worth a [...]

Router Wing on the Tablesaw
Posted on October 13, 2009 by Stuart
Some ways back, I mentioned that my original router table top (an old laminated style now discontinued by Professional Woodworkers Supplies) had been decommissioned, and it was looking for a new home. By the time I had finished with it (and the new table was starting to come together), that potential home had disappeared so [...]

Kreg Pushstick
Posted on June 7, 2009 by Stuart
Pushsticks are an integral part of the safety equipment in a workshop, and are important for many of the tools in the shop. They are not everyone’s cup of tea (although I find that very strange), and they are not needed for every operation (which does make sense). A pushstick is primarily used to feed [...]

SW09 – Preventing a Kickback
Posted on May 8, 2009 by Stuart
As discussed in the previous article, a kickback is when a blade stops cutting, and instead transfers the machine’s power directly into the workpiece, propelling it with incredible force. Not getting in the way is a really good option when it happens. However, we are talking about something coming at you at 200km/hr is hard [...]

SW09 – Kickback
Posted on May 7, 2009 by Stuart
There are all sorts of risks in the workshop. But the one that really seems to give woodworkers the willies is kickback. When a kickback occurs, it is always pretty startling, you find yourself with the deer in the headlights look, and once your wits start returning, you start looking for claret. I’ve had some [...]

Granite in Woodworking
Posted on April 18, 2009 by Stuart
I like accuracy. Can’t help it. It’s the engineer in me. Accuracy includes flatness, and there is a slowly emerging trend of using granite to achieve this, with Steel City producing granite topped tools (such as tablesaws). (Aside – there is also a granite block available for a sharpening station – something I am definitely [...]

An 11th Hour Reprieve
Posted on March 12, 2009 by Stuart
I have been looking what to do with my old router table, now that I have upgraded to a fully cast iron top, and was considering selling it (and the phenolic plate I got from Professional Woodworkers Supplies), but didn’t think I’d get anywhere near the $350 or so that it was worth new. I [...]

Episode 45 Zero Clearance Inserts
Posted on February 21, 2009 by Stuart
Episode 45 Zero Clearance Inserts for the Tablesaw Making Zero Clearance Inserts isn’t a particularly difficult task, but it is always good seeing someone else do it first! I have come up with a bit of a novel approach to how to safely do the cut. The traditional method is to use the fence to [...]

Dado Blades
Posted on January 23, 2009 by Stuart
I’ve spoken recently about dado blades, and the results are going to start appearing soon, but I haven’t actually mentioned what a dado blade is. Seems a bit strange defining it, but there again a few years ago I wasn’t sure what a dado blade actually looked like (I knew a bit of their function [...]
