Thank you for posting on how to make a flip top cart. Some great ideas.👍

Dust collection problem can be solved with reducer.

Woodpecker dado nut solves the problem with the dado for the most part.

Nice job. It was obvious to me that you know what you're doing.

I read that you need to put a conditioner first so its not blotchy ?

Truly excellent review!!!!!!

Got a question . My planner weights close to 100 , how hard is it to flip yours , does it want to go down fast

I think the most imporant tip i can recommend is DON'T use crappy construction lumber for furniture unless you take the time to dry it to a single digit number and then surface all 4 sides square with each other. If you cook with $3 wine and subpar ingredients the outcome will never be as good as cooking with a great wine and quality ingredients. Using a 2x6 pine board from Home Depot with 19% moisture content is like putting lipstick on a pig.

I built Fisher's cart too. Great design! I made some mods to the design to fit my specific needs, but the design is solid. 1. Used 7/8" washers instead of pipe flanges at the pivot points. Drilled 4 holes in each and mounted with screws 2. Added an axle and 8" wheels on the rear and a retracting/locking handle so I can tip it and move it like a two wheel dolly. I needed this so I could get it out on the driveway and back into my garage when needed. 3. Instead of a 15A power strip, I put in an electrical box with a 20A outlet and a 15' 12 AWG cord to help prevent low voltage due to voltage drop on lighter AWG cord.

Dude, look at where the height of your spindle sander is! It's practically at shoulder level!

Great idea with the tape and ca glue instead of double sided tape

In the process of building my own. Really appreciate the detailed plans and video. For me it made sense to start with the tool platform to guide dimension of the base, shelf, etc. And I decided to add a flat washer, which also affected those measurements.

So you still have to drag an extension cord around...the table has to get power some how!! You never mentioned how you did that!

Excellent review. Thank you.

Nice job...but I do want to know if the dowels are on top of the table or the bottom, or does it matter..n thank u for the very informative video.

Nice job. But that table saw is an accident waiting to happen. You gotta get a splitter installed behind the blade!!!!

Did mine 5 years ago (times 2). Right after he posted it.

Thanks for the information. I have a question: can dowels be used instead of biscuits to join the breadboard to the tabletop using the same principle of tight holes in the center and larger holes as you work outward?

The Delta 36-725 can be easily converted to 240 volt. Look in manual to show you location of 120/240 switch. You then need to cut off 120v male plug and install 240v plug.

Any table saw that has a motor hanging from the table will in time bend the table. That is why cabinet saws hang all the heavy stuff from the cabinet not from the table.

I am going to make a flip chart for my router and spindle sander, and this video has given me ideas about details that I would have missed. Thanks a lot. However, being this set up a permanent thing (or so I would think,) I wouldn’t have bothered in keeping the power cords as they are, I would have cut them to exact length, connected them in parallel and saved the hassle of having to install a double socket plus the problem you encountered of the plug not passing through the flange. May sound a bit radical but I doubt you’ll ever disassemble this again unless one of the machines breaks down or has to be substituted. Great job overall and thanks again for taking the time to make the video.

I'll happily paint for you if you build me a cart :P

Initial setup was quite easy czcams.com/users/postUgkxXh-4_3-ZT1fFWP91ZV7iVqzElr0lEb-a Did have to adjust the fence to blade readout-was off by .003". Blade angle was off by 4 degrees. All easy adjustments. Would recommend.

Have used Delta Unisaws for over 40 years - Bought this to use in retirement. very excited about the quality of the unit at first (uses) Went through 2 in 4 months - Motors are total junk…..Will not get a 3rd one. Lowes did refund in full both times (Store Credits)

This is an excellent video!! You explained slow and meticulously.......especially which holes get enlarged and what gets glued and what doesn't! Well done......DD

Hola! 🖐Nice video, great job on your build and explaining as you went along. I'm a big fan of Fisher's Shop as well, good for you to credit him. Grammy (my wife) and my sons (along with their wife and kiddos) gifted me a planner for Father's Day. I immediately thought of Drew's cart for it. Now with your accompanying video, I feel much more confident in building one for myself. Take care and have a good one, Adios!👊

That dust collector is 20 amps according to the specs. Has it burned out yet?

What a great idea! The only grip head I found is plastic. Is yours plastic, and if it isn't, is there a brand name on your? Thank you for coming up with this genious design. It's great!

Don’t be so hard on yourself, fyi I see other CZcamsrs all the time use the same method and never talk about it. I agree a solid support was the best option but woodworking and building is all about making mistakes and learning and improving from them! That’s the beauty especially with shop furniture and construction is you can scrap ideas or improve beyond what you though was capable

Conceding

I love all the poor man woodworking tips you show because I do the same things. They still work great and you don’t need a bunch of expensive tools.

What saw did you upgrade to?

I to heve this saw. I considered myself to Beginner to intermediate but somehow i seem to make some really nice boards. I haven't noticed that my cast iron is not flat (but will check now). Most everything i cut is hardwood and if i go slow i can get it done. I like the saw but like you will eventually move on to the next step up. Helpful video Brother!

You can't sell it now!

Excellent video! I appreciate your taking time to show the small steps that make for a better finish. Specifically the extra pieces of mitered trim to line up the corners 👍👍

you know you can convert the 36-725 to 220v very easily by changing the cord and flipping the switch in the back. Cheap and efficient.

How stable is the cabinet, when in use? I think wheels on the side, compared to underneath, would bring alot more stability.

How has this breadboard jointety held up??? Hoping to start on my table soon and would love to follow your lead, if you're still happy with your table?

Kudos to you for giving credit to Drew. Most woodworkers do attribute like this.

The reason I did not buy this saw when I saw other content creators talk about it was the dust collection. That killed the deal for me. Some worked in barns so it was no big deal but I can't have all that sawdust in my small garage. I eventually went with the DeWalt jobsite table saw. It has really great reviews, and the Concord Carpenter calls it the "Cadillac" of jobsite table saws. Good enough for me. Eventually in about a year and a half I will probably be getting a Sawstop only because of the safety factor. I live alone, and an accident would not be good for me. With that said, I have to disagree when you say "As you grow as a woodworker you want your work to get better and better, and you can only be as good as your tools." Two of my favorite content creators are Steve Ramsey of Woodworking for mere mortals, and Tamar's 3 X 3 custom. She has moved into a bigger shop, which now houses a Sawstop, but for years she used a DeWalt contractor's saw to build some of the finest furniture I have ever seen including a dining table with some really steep angles, and a beautiful cabinet to store her album collection. Even she said that her table was not perfectly flat, but as long as she could get perfect 90 degree angles on the side that she was cutting on, it was fine. Mr. Ramsey has been using the same table saw for years, and it suits his needs just fine. His shop is nothing fancy, but he does turn out some really neat and unique pieces like a bench that looks like it was made out of giant Popsicle sticks.

Yep...I built two of these from Fisher's Shop plans.....I love it. Chopsaw/table saw on one, drill press/band saw on the other ( I had to change a couple dimension to accomodate the height of the drill press & bandsaws).

Super usefull i have the same problem

so can you not use a full dado stack?? that kills this saw for me

You can take that back rail off just have to put slides on the fence itself.

Switch the saw too 240 it’s just switching a wire in the motor I did it to mine way better saw now

I got inserts on Etsy from clarissa woodworking.

Dirtbikes, white Nikes and woodworking... will you be my dad? lol great video

Love my flip top i have two planers on it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Great video.

This saw have 2 options 110/220 v i use mine 220v

I have the same saw, and i agree with your review, but, one thing to be mentioned , this saw came with an option to switch from 110 v to a 220 v, and i have mine set up for a 220 v.
