Video

Yes, we as Americans are dealing with a real live example of the Cult of Personality............... :)

Great video as always! May I ask? If I wanted to upgrade my stock table saw fence, which one is the way to go?

Excellent video and setup. Thanks for sharing!!

This video comes in at a perfect time for me, just picked up a second Unisaw, one for rips/crosscuts, one for dado stack. Contemplating a router lift in the extension table bridging the two. Great video as always!

damn... that's a sweet rig. I have a General 350R and I would love to add the Excaliber slider but I just don't have the room, thus my track saw.

Cutting a hole in a vintage Unisaw's cabinet is kinda like declawing a cat. I wouldn't do it, but if you were to adopt a cat that had been declawed I wouldn't complain.

I love getting a glimpse into your though processes and you ingenuity in solving problems in such simple and well thought out ways. Way to go!

Thanks Mike for all your “pro tips “ and clear explanations! Your “word-smithing” is awesome!!

Mike, I love your set up. So freaking cool. When I do large items that need to be cainer like this, I like to shoot a laser level across the room, then take two pieces of plywood and make an upside down tea where I strike a line where the laser is at the highest point. Then I can just place the block anywhere I need and I can get everything leveled up. Now it’s time to go turn that song on.

These are some great tune-up tips. I will need to use these on my Delta Unisaw as well. I worked in a shop where we had a 12-inch unisaw, but we had a Delta that was built back in the 50s, and it still ran like new

Great set up Mike, and an awesome song suggestions. Have a good one.

Great content, non-vomitous! If I had dust collection AND a massive Board Room, I'd do something similar. For my 2.5-car garage/shop, I'd have to set my saws back to back... which would prevent me from giving into the temptation to saw something with BOTH saws at the same time. Also, the childish tray is a stellar idea, tbh. I love your tool/equipment content as much as your builds - I'd suggest a video on maintenance for compressors, nail guns, and the associated equipment because a pin nailer is one of those things that you wonder just how you functioned without one.

That was fire!! My CDO is very impressed. (Yes, CDO is more better organized accurately when listed alphabetically...) ;) :D

Hmm, realizing my mistake, 3 of hearts are good alternatives

Very nice, but I'd rather use a queen of Diamonds as a shim instead of a 2 of hearts (@13:11)

Whoda thought?? What a brilliant idea Mike. You are much more than just a woodworker. Art from Ohio

Always love a Farrington shop build! 🎉

GREAT video with tips. Great for anyone with a cabinet level saw. I have a similar setup. I first started using the Excalibur sliding attachment maybe 25 years ago. I had it attached to a PM 66 for years, then added a Uni to it. But a couple years ago I replaced the 66 with an older Oliver (quite a bit heavier saw, running a 14" blade) I did most of the adjustments that you made, (though not the dust collection as the Oliver base is all cast iron and does have a decent dust port, but still table saws are not the best for dust collection) but I didn't adjust the table with the blade at a 45! That is pretty good tip there. I'm now going to play with that. thanks.

❤

Actually showing that bevel alignment. You sir are a gentleman and a scholar.

6" dust collection fittings instead of 4"? Well look at fancy pants rich McGee over here

As someone restoring and upgrading a 1980s Unisaw, your first video with that saw was SUPER helpful. This one makes me want to spend more money though. lol Thanks for all the work Mike! It’s helpful too!

Neon lights…

Living Color!

I wish I had a neighbor, co-worker, relative,etc. with your tool intelligence and skill.😊

I saw the caption and wondered, "How did he become the Colossus of Clout?!"🙄 Then I saw he had two full power table saws on one continuous Unifence rail!!😳 Men will avert their gaze when the Colossus walks into the locker room...🫣

Glad to see another unifence advocate. I sought one out and would never change. Awesome setup!

Cult Of Personality is a tour de force. Every member of Living Colour is a tremendous musician-Calhoun, Skillings, Glover and Reid. Part of the timelessness of the song is the nearly absurdly long guitar solo that spans the history of rock and roll in about a minute and innumerable finger adjustments. Of course lyrically it will always remain relevant. Great video, gotta go now and listen to Vivid again!

I always thought you were the sultan of swat.

I knew you could do it Mike !! Happy 4th

Gotta be honest, that slider addon looks terrible to use, if I was you I would have looked for a smaller panel saw, I found a 1994 SCM (1.6m cut capacity) for cheap and works oh so well and takes very little space in comparison to say your large panel saw

I used neoprene tape, silicone, red sheathing tape and magnet sheets to completely seal up my cheap Ridgid saw, it gets surprisingly good dust collection with just a shop vac and a 4" to 2" adapter.

Such a neat setup!

Living Colour was the opening act for the Stones at the Oakland Coliseum in 1989 during the Steel Wheels tour. I wasn't too impressed with LC (yes, I'm a Boomer) but Carlos Santana made an unannounced appearance and played a few songs which was very cool.

I just stumbled across a Rockwell Unisaw on FB Market Place for $400. I don't need another table saw, but looks like it could be a fun project. I just wish I had the space and time.

Great song recommendation, that song played everyday on the radio in the machine shop. I worked at in high school that 45° alignment. If that is out, could that be why anytime I have cut a 45° bevel it has never been accurate? I use a Beall tilt box. Note, not a pro, total amateur.

“Saw Island” 😁👍🏻. Thx for the video Mike!

I vomited only once, but I still enjoyed the vid. sknahT!

I thought Excalibur was long out of business. Is your slider new old stock?

Totally jealous...since moving to my current location, I'm not able to fit my excalibur siding table in my small home shop. I'd pay big money to be able to quickly attach and detach the slider without having to do complex setups.

Mike your $75 garage sale is actually by far the most expensive miter saw in the market since 30 years ago. The brand new one 14” not the 12” you have is costing about $7000. It’s the most accurate miter saw money could buy now😂. I believe you know already how to tone it, if not please let me know, I have one also. I wish you well make a video about this stationary Miter saw, and why it’s a must in serious cabinet shops.

Great job. I just finished up my unisaw tuneup and I don't want to think about leveling and aligning 2 saws but it seems like your method was pretty straightforward. I got introduced to cult of personality playing grand theft auto. Great song!

Great video coupled with great humor, Mike. A wining combination. Bill

Thank you for the song pick, a sly and very apt comment for our times. Rock on Brother.

Big big fan. Thank you for continuing to create more content!

Mike, do you need to bolt the legs of the slider attachment down or could you use some adhesive?

I’m always excited when I see a new Mike Farrington video drop! Great vid as always! Your 66 and the Uni set up looks fornicating amazing!!! I went from a Uni fence on my Delta contractor saw to the Powermatic version of the Biesemeyer on my 66 and actually still miss it occasionally!

Mike Farrington: The Sultan of Saws 😅

3 table saws could lead to some great economy of production. I'm a tad jelly, with only a dewalt contractor saw to work with. When can I come over and build stuff? (Asked from Alberta. ;-) )

Hi. Less your hinge choice and paint, how many hours for the doors alone. I have to build four similar, in only seven days. On an island. Really.
