  • My grandfather left me his table saw after he passed. I have a lot of great memories in his workshop learning to use this saw. I restored it and will keep it in the centre of my shop

    Nice to see you back Mark, always great to see things restored and used again, rather than just thrown out.

    Beautiful video. I was given an old table saw that needs refurbishment and this video helped give me a lot of ideas. Enjoy making new memories on yours!

    Great to see you posting content Mark.
    The Table saw cleaned up really well. Thank you for sharing!
    Hope you get some time to enjoy using the Saw Mark!

    That rip fence looks just like the Exact-I-Rip I got with my Craftsman contractor series saw. Very nice & precise. T-slots are so handy for jigs, patterns etc.

    Good Job. Hope it gives you many years of enjoyment. I think you'll find a single edge razor blade works better than a screwdriver to clean gunk off a metal surface.

    Sorry for your loss, mate.
    I think your Grandfather would be proud of the job you did! 👌🏾
    Had to chuckle when that wheel hit the ground, oops. 😆

      I was in a state of confusion haha. Completely missed the wheel

      Thank you Lee. I'll be uploading on the regular. the foam is an automotove degreaser

    I can hear your grand-dad saying Well Done!!!
    I can also hear him saying never push wood on a table saw with your hand, use a push stick!!!

    • @MarkSusak
      @MarkSusak  Před 3 lety

      thank you for the kind words. i agree with the push stick. can't use the saw without all 10 digits!

    Every time someone cleans a table saw top with a flat-blade screwdriver, God kills a puppy...

    In my experience rattle can paint on the throat plate will rub off on your work.

    It would have been EXTREMELY HELPFUL IF HE HAD SAID WHAT HE WAS USING. The video itself won't help me restore my classic Craftsmans table saw.

    • @MarkSusak
      @MarkSusak  Před 2 lety

      Degreaser, vinegar, variety of coarse pads and a lot of time. I hope your craftsman comes out looking new! It’s super rewarding such a good feeling
