I have a hercules jobsite table saw and I realize its not the ideal saw for woodworking but its what I could afford and I am looking to get the most out of it. Which blade will be best for a saw of my power? Also will my saw be good enough to work with cherry walnut and maples? I am new to woodworking and your videos are super helpful
The links you're giving for the 80 tooth blade are both for the rs1000 which is a negative 5 degree hook. Are you recommending this for the table saw too? I thought this was a miter saw blade. The more I learn the more confused I'm getting lol
i hope you know how much us garage shop woodworkers appreciate all the time you put in to teaching us to get better!! thanks man, another great lesson
Absolutely! It is a pleasure to be part of this community, and to benefit from the shared experience of others. Indeed, another great lesson!
I cannot endorse this comment enough! Well said!
There’s no one on CZcams who delivers information in a better more understandable way! Thank you!!
So, how I’ll explain this to my wife is “Honey! James from Stumpy Nubs on CZcams says I need 2 more table saws!!”
Hey stumpy, I was able to pick up a 1997 grizzly G 1023 table saw for 300 bucks. The motor was replaced in 2009 and it came with a Delta unifence I’m so excited and I think you’re the only other person who might care. I’m trying to find the old riving knife that bolted on the back of the saw, but I haven’t had luck. However, your video showing how to make an arriving knife came in handy. Thanks for all your videos. Keep up the great work.
I'm sitting at the home depot watching this. Lol. Hate the thought of changing blades a bunch. I've had so much trouble. I have walnut oak and cherry slabs.
A long story ending with an extra tip for fellow amateurs:
Years ago I mentioned to a coworker that I was thinking of getting a table saw. He said he'd give me his father's old saw that had been willed to his brother but his brother was moving across the country and my coworker already had his own saw. So I took the saw, cleaned off layers and layers of sawdust and pitch and dust and grime and after I tried a simple cut on some plywood I went back to my coworker and complained that it smoked like a chimney. He blushed and nodded and admitted his brother had kind-of mentioned that but he had forgotten about it.
A neighbor of mine had an expensive cabinetry shop in his garage so I asked if he could help me kerf my newly acquired ancient table saw because whenever I cut anything it seemed like a steam train had gone by and left behind all the pollution from its smokestack. He came by, ran a couple test cuts, agreed with me about the smoke, and then noticed, "Why are you mounting your blade backward? The teeth are supposed to face the other way!"
I flipped the blade around, tried a few cuts, and then marked the table and the throat clearly so I'd never wonder which way the motor spins. I've never had a problem since!
--RKL
That is an absolutely hysterical story. But seriously though i thought you were going to say the blade was dull or dirty. Not backwards.
I picked up a BEAST of a Skilsaw at a yard sale. Make in the 1960s, it weighs a ton. But it is absolutely unstoppable.
When I got it home I did a test cut, and it cut slowly and made a lot of smoke. I was disappointed, and set it aside. The next time I looked at it, I noticed immediately that the old non-carbide blade was in backwards. Its performance with the blade in backwards was actually pretty impressive! Of course it did so much better with a new carbide blade installed correctly!
@@davidbryanwoodworksandmoreI swear i thought the same
Years ago I took a woodworking course at a local high school and got used to the high power cabinet saw. I was thinking of getting a new table saw since mine seemed under powered and burned a lot of cuts. Fortunately I remembered the teacher saying something about how often they got the various tools sharpened. I got my combination blade sharpened. All of a sudden my saw had more power and cut much better.
6:10 yep. I leave the nice blade on for everything in general
1) Crosscut Blade
2) Rip Cut Blade
3) Fine Finish
Cross cut blade is a fine finish blade...
@@TheRealGOTdurrrredI always come to the comments to see comment like yours.Im new to this wood working thing but im all ears and am willing to take advice.
I’ll sum this up very short.In my very late 30s(I wanna say 39 or maybe even 40/im 43 now)I walked in a Lowe’s and started looking at power tools for no apparent reason and decided I’m interested in learning woodworking.I started buying all types of power tools and got on CZcams n decided a birdhouse would be my first project.Well I liked the birdhouse (it made it through the worst of ida n didn’t even fall out the tree) and moved on to bigger projects.Well I learned more with videos like this and even remodeled a home.Im currently doing a few things in and outside of my moms home,which brings me here!Im trying to find the perfect 10” table saw blade for hardboard paneling before I even touch it though and I’m getting no where.im always getting an answer for hardwood and that’s not what I’m looking for….Said I’d keep the story short but here I am lying 🤦🏻♂️….please someone help me!!!
Thanks. Really good info for us noobs.
I also use a 7.250”blade for rough ripping hardwoods.I mostly use this and a 46tooth Ridge for most cuts.As a former machinist I know the smaller diameter. The. least heat generated.
Good stuff, this is the best woodworking channel I've ever found.
👍🏾
thanks bro . I was wondering why I couldn't go threw 2 bys smoothly
Somehow I have all three. I feel special.
good on you
My neighbor sharpens blades. He gave me a triple ground rip blade and few years later asked why I hadn't brought it back for sharpening. I didn't know how to tell it needed it, gave it to him, and when I got it back the skies opened up, a rainbow terminated on my table saw, and birds started singing whenever I turned it on. The difference was amazing, and now I swap blades all the time and they're always sharp. Such a huge difference in cut quality.
Thank you, Stumpy!
I use just two blades: an 80 tooth Diablo cross cut and a 24 tooth Diablo rip. I only use the rip blade when ripping large amounts of thick hardwoods. I use the cross cut for everything else.
I have to rewatch this multiple times while I write down the specs of the blades I’ll be shopping for.
So what your saying is.
1. I need a bigger shop
2. I need 2 more table saws so I don’t have to change our blades.🙂
I don't have a large workshop space which I can dedicate to woodworking. Several years ago, I bought a DeWalt table-top portable table saw. The first thing I did was to buy a Diablo 60 tooth (fine finish) blade to replace the 24 tooth construction blade that came with the saw. Then I made a zero-clearance insert. Now my little table saw is one of the most valuable tools in my shop........
“a jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.”
The full quote ... from Shakespeare. 😊
Although I am just a woodworking novice, I have been watching your channel now for about 2 months and was impressed with the manner in which you presented your material. As such, I am learning a great deal and have rated you as one of my favorite subscriptions; I will do whatever I can to support you. Thank you for all you do.
I use my 1st jobsite table saw for bulk 2x material and my stationary saw for fine work. Never get rid of that old/1st saw if you can. Plus the old one is my loaner for the neighbor/brother-in-law.
The complete saying was originally “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.” I know the point of your video was to talk about the best case for blades but I do love the full expression as it applies to being satisfied with oneself. =)
Great information, saved to my ”table saw’ CZcams folder.
This teaching made a big difference in my work. My medium-powered saw struggled in rips of hard wood, but with even an inexpensive home-center ripping blade I no longer have that struggle. Many thanks to Stumpy Nubs for such consistent and effective teaching.
Thankyou for your presentation,I noticed the amount of views you had after watching,so I'll continue to comment all the same,you held my concentration due to the fact you spoke clearly, at a continual pitch & rate, your props were laid out well & by those alone were great, your confidence in what you were sharing was at a good instructional level, you are well suited to the classroom at this task,well-done. Ps I've got a load of blades not cutting well,I watched another guy telling us to remove pitch,tar,resin & then maybe re sharpen.
Thanks for sharing James.
Very important information 👍👍👍
Thanks for a much needed refresher course.
Stumpy, we all need true 3hp Cabinet Table Saws, not a Sears 3hp developed saw. I've been there done that and tried thin kerf blades too. Then you need to review Forrest vs Diablo blades. Thnxx, Bart Timberville VA
The trick that I use to eliminate tear out in my plywood cuts is to lower the blade until it will just barely score the piece. Run all pieces through at this height then raise the blade to make the complete cut. This completely eliminates tear out regardless of the blade that I have installed and doesn't take much more time.
Absolutely! That's how I do it too, can be done with tracksaws as well.
Although a really nice table saw with a scoring blade would make everything that much faster and looks wayyy cooler 😂
@@vikassm easier with a track saw tho. Some table saws have a scoring blade btw
You’re so good James. Thank you.
Once again, a clear and concise tutorial 👍🏼👍🏼
Very insightful. Thanks!
Thanks for the great information James 👍👍!
Cleaning the blade can also help. At least for a while.
Tree goo build up is a large part of it. Clean your blades, people.
Absolutely! My shop teacher told me how much better they cut when they were cleaned, I didn’t argue with him, but I felt a little bit a doubt. And he sensed that. So he gave me a toothbrush and some simple green, took the blade off the saw and told me to have fun. Boy, what a difference.
Very smart to clean up pitch regularly and also lube the blades. I love teflon lube for all my cutting blades.
Thank you. Well done.
Loving/binge watching your videos. Thank you. It has been decades since I touched a table saw.
Really good explanation!
I’ve followed your advice and I bought a thin kerf combo blade from Ridge Carbide and it was the best thing that I could ever done. The quality and the ease cut was outstanding. I’ve been cutting 2in wide beech and my fairly underpowered table saw takes it like nothing. You’re absolutely right when you said that before to change the saw we must try a better saw blade. Thanks!!!!!!!
Love your tutorials!
As always, excellent info in a great presentation.
Great video and very helpful as usual! Glad to have found your channel, it's been a big help to my start into woodworking. Always looking forward to your newest videos.
Very nice explanation!
Thank you!
REALLY well done - straightforward, concise, clear / balanced sound and images; an excellent intro to blades, thank you!
Super tutorial! I’m off to ordering new blades for my Ridgid table saw.
Excellent! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. 👍
Thanks for this video
The best !! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great info. Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent video
Great explanation on blades, one of the most concise I have seen, thank you
Thnx. Well explained
I would love to have a PDF that I could print off and hang in my shop that I could reference while working.
Hey Jason have a look at this chart. Should be what you're looking for.
@@evanwachtendorf2083 Nothing attached..
If you have a smart phone, just take a screen grab of each summary comment he makes about the 3 types, with the *subtitles switched "ON".*
There Is No One Blade to Cut It All...ah. So Combo, Fine tooth count and Rip blades would make sense. Always great tips from you, Stumpy!
Hey Stumpy. Again great work. A suggested video (if you haven’t already) is teaching us about equipment speed. Wood lathe, drill press, various sanders, router’s free hand and table mounted etc…
Thanks, as always your presentations are very smart and straightforward.
Love your channel. I love that you provide so much information, concisely. You manage to put more information in a shorter amount of time than most of the videos I've come across. Thank you.
Thanks, i'll do so.👏👏👏
thank you
Thanks stumpy awsome info your the best
Brand new Grizzly tablesaw with the supplied NEW blade would burn when ripping. Changed to an older used blade (not knowing a thing about different blades) cut beautifully. No burns. Thank you.
I would not have agreed with you in the past but I have learned the hard way so I totally agree but I'm still figuring out the best brand to buy
Freud would be my go-to. I bought a rip cut blade last year and couldnt be happier.
@@SkyForgeVideos I agree 100%, Freud doesn't break the bank and gives great results. Also, Freud blades have enough carbide on them that they can be resharpened multiple times.
Forrest Woodwork II T20779! I used to buy all the big box store brands like Freud but I found that I would constantly have to get them sharpened and replaced. It has probably been about 20years since I bought my first Forrest blade but if memory serves, I used to have my old blades sharpened every few months. With the Forrest, I go so long between sharpening that I can't remember how long it has been since the last time. The cut quality is fantastic. I leave this one blade in my table saw for all my cuts. The only time I take a Forrest blade out of one of my saws is when I am cutting a bunch of construction lumber or treated boards and then I will take the 80 tooth Chopmaster blade out or my miter saw and use a 45 tooth general purpose. I believe that one of my 4 (two 10 inch, two 12 inch) Forrest blades is the one I bought 20 years ago. How about that for longevity.
@@martylts what's the cost of that blade? Sounds great, just might be a little out of my price range at the moment, but I'm interested.
Diablo is a budget blade. But I think it's a very good value for the price. They cut well, especially when they are new. Freud also makes an industrial line that is better than their Diablo blades and they are quite good for the money, as well. But they are still a step below a Ridge Carbide or a Forrest. Premium blades are made from premium materials with precision. The problem with comparing blades is any brand-new, sharp blade will cut very well. But as time goes on, the premium blade will hold up better and you will be able to have it sharpened many, many times. I chose Ridge Carbide even before they became a sponsor because it's a premium blade (as good as Forrest) sold by a small company with excellent service. And because I have a discount code: SNWJ10 goo.gl/z8TP0k
I was going to ask a long question and then you answered it in the last 2min of the video lol
As always, excellent advice, logically presented and guaranteed to improve the viewer’s woodworking experience. Thank you very much.
Ahhhh! A cup o' coffee and a morning James Hamilton video! Getting smart and motivated - you can pick which does which. Have you considered making a PDF which we can print out, laminate to hang in our shop, perhaps framed next to our autographed pic of Mustache Mike! It would be worth a contribution for your handy lessons on a printout.
Thanks for the reminder video. I don't consider myself a beginner but reminders videos are great and necessary.
Thank you for doing the breakdown at the end. Helps for those of us with learning disability.
You have the best channel of this type on this site, by far. And I'm not easily pleased. Thanks for being yourself.
I am fairly new to wood working, and I appreciate all the work, and info you have put together in your videos.
Great info, I was aware of the blade types, but not that level of detail, thanks!
Thanks! Cleaning the blade improves performance, too. I think you had a video on that. Made me a believer.
I love your videos. You do such a wonderful job in explaining things and the differences and why they are different. Seriously, the detail you go into is so appreciated. Keep up the excellent work you are putting out there.
Great tips and advice changed my blades with fantastic results. Also used your advice on sharpening my chisels have never been so sharp. Owe you a cold one you definitely deserve one. Thanks keep up the great videos
Thanks so much for all these quality tutorials. I've been struggling for a while make rip cuts, and not knowing why. I'll put this new information to good use as soon as some blades arrive. Thanks again.
I have blades from Ridge Carbide (thank you James), they’re top notch indeed.
Spot on. Thanks.
“A jack of all trades is a master of none but often times better than a master of one “
As usual, very informative video. With my 8-1/4 table saw I thought I was destined to purchasing the only blades available for a small saw Cheap, low quality blades. Was pleasantly surprised to see 8-1/4" blades available from Ridge Carbide. Thank you!!!
Всегда очень полезные советы, спасибо!!!
We're hooked on your videos. We learn a lot and appreciate the time you take to do these. We're taking a look at the Ridge bales. Will let you know what we think.
Good info. Thanks!
Thanks for the info
So, you're telling me I need 3 table saws. Got it.
That does help with blade changes this is why I have 2 plus a nice edge guide rail for my Porter Cable circular saw.
I thought it said that at first glance...
Now to convince the wife of that... ;)
@@GaryNorton_C I'm seriously considering having two when I build my dedicated shop and have the space. The plan is to repurpose the current Sawstop job-site saw with an 80-tooth blade and use it mainly with the crosscut sled, then buy a full cabinet saw for rips and dados. I've already got a Dewalt track saw for breaking down sheets, so a 3rd table saw would just be overkill. :)
4 saws - need one for Dados, too :D
I've been a fan of you for a few years now. and really like all your videos. Great content with just the right amount of humor.
Keep up the good work. And please be safe.
Cool video!
Good information............
That’s the reason you can get good money for your projects you do. There is a lot of skill and work that goes into a project. Conversely the blade changes and sanding for good finishing of your projects.
Great Content
Digging the Billy beer can in the back
For those of us with tiny saws, CMT Orange might help you. They fit and cut well on my Dewalt
Just about to go shopping for a blade. Glad I found your information first!
Thanks Stumpy 😃
Dav check out the freud industrial line. they are amazing and what I use daily in my cabinet shop.
Very true. I would just add that I quite often find that even the cheapest tools (Harbor Freight specials) can be vastly improved with a better blade.
I want to add to the discussion by saying that the original phrase, for those of you who might not know it, is actually "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one" and it's quite appropriate to describe all purpose and combination blades.
You were right. That Ridge Carbide blade that you recommended makes a big difference on my underpowered contractor's table saw. Cuts wood like butter, smooth and clean. My miter saw will be the next to get one.
I did a job that a lot of 1x4 were needed. The customer had a lot 12' 1x12 and required that we rip it down and not buy 1x4's. One of the guys suggested I get a 16 tooth carbide blade. It was like cutting butter. I used it on other jobs ripping 2x stock again it cut fast and smooth. I had no idea a fewer tooth blade would make that much of a difference.
I love the tips and advice you give. I am not a professional woodworker but consider myself pretty well rounded in most things such as carpentry, electrical, plumbing, mechanics, etc. So I have a good assortment of tools with the exception of shop tools. We recently bought a new home that had a shop built on the property. I was getting ready to build a 20x30 shop this one was 30x60. Looking forward to setting it up to put it to use. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
