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 [...]

Have you thought about the blade on your tablesaw, or in your circular saw, and actually considered how the power of the motor is transferred to the blade? Although the arbor is spun by the motor, the power doesn’t transfer directly from the shaft to the blade. Instead, it is the arbor flange, and arbor [...]

Been like the proverbial around here today (and will be even more so tomorrow!) Plenty of successful eBay bidders picking up their new tools (hope everyone is happy!). Had Carl around to have a look at my TS10L. Not sure if he was convinced or not, but I’m a big fan of the saw – [...]

I’ve been discovering why timber is not used as a zero clearance insert on tablesaws. The first problem discovered was with the anti-kickback pawls that on my table are attached to the riving knife, so they rise and fall with the blade height (which is a good thing), but the dig into the soft timber [...]

Had an opportunity over the weekend to start running the sawblades though their paces. There were some unexpected, and rather surprising results from the tests. I certainly haven’t gotten through all the blades yet, but already there were some definite stand-out blades, and some that fell rather short of expectation. Had a couple of other [...]

During the setting up of the Miter Express, I was giving some thought to the whole issue of sawblades and their different kerfs (thicknesses), the location of the arbor stop and the fence. This may be an idiosyncrasy of left-tilt tablesaws, but with the arbor stop on the opposite side to the fence, it means [...]

It takes some time to really set the saw up properly as I’ve discovered recently. There are so many different variables that can affect saw accuracy. However, with a combination of the Deluxe Alignment Kit I got from Carbatec, and a couple of the Wixey Digital gauges (the angle gauge and the height gauge), I [...]

I had an idea a while ago as soon as I saw the MagJig by MagSwitch – this has the potential to a problem that has perplexed me for ages. How do I get in incredible accuracy of the Incra LS Positioner fence on the Triton? The problem was always fixing the fence down well [...]

You know you are onto a good tool, when once you have it, you find that you can’t live without it! The next part of setting up the tablesaw was adding the cast iron wings. A friend of mine was very adamant that this is a two person job, and given the weight of the [...]

When you buy a new (major) tool, do you trust that it is assembled as accurately as it could possibly be, or would you rather be able to check it for yourself, and potentially fine tune it to the highest degree of accuracy? To do so however requires more than just a square and a [...]
