  • Review and brief demonstration of the Byrnes Table saw including my adaptation for dust collection. Intended for modeling and cutting small and thin material, this powerful little 4-inch saw is made of solid aluminum plate. Weighing in at 28 pounds, it stays where you put it.

    Thanks so much Ron. You are a fantastic resource for the rest of us. It was so good to see this review as I've ordered one here in Europe and am waiting on it - sea freight. This saw and his other tools seem to have almost legendary status in the model ship building world. One gent told in a forum how he moved his saw to the loft one day, but for some reason it slipped and fell the entire way to the cellar, smashing a banister on the way. The blade guard was broken, but the saw worked perfectly, not even a vibration. Now that is quality.

      Bill McKee A week or so ago I gave it its best workout since I have owned it. In one afternoon I cut 136 pieces for 34 pipes to 1/2 mm & 1/4 mm dimensions (using a ruler and magnifying glass) and everything looked pretty darned good. With clean square cuts the pipes went together quickly and easily. Yesterday I cut 68 pieces of mahogany for the covers. Very little waste with that thin kerf blade. I am sure you will like yours.

    Without a doubt a high-quality machine. I've never seen a micrometer screw on a table saw..that's just an amazing detail. The folks that made this thing, really knew what they were doing. 475 $, for a 230Vac model, seems very reasonable with the excellent craftsmanship that went into this machine.

  • @MRrwmac
    @MRrwmac Před 9 lety +2

    Nice precise little saw! Glad it helped with the pipes. I'm sure that even after the organ, you will find a lot of use for it in your precision woodworking (such as clocks etc). Thanks for sharing.

    I'm glad to finally see a very good video of this machine. I have one and I can't say enough good things about it. I never remove blade height adjuster wrench since it doesn't interfere with anything.
    I "think" the body and base are steel rather than aluminum.

    Nice presentation of the tool and it appears to cut fine. Of course the large motor should allow that saw to out cut the ones around the net. Of course with only a couple options this little beast came to $763.00 before shipping or tax. I've been wanting to build one and at that price I think I'll just do that... Again, very nice presentation and it is a nice little machine, no doubt about it.

  • @dr5674
    @dr5674 Před 8 lety

    I have a few comments after using this saw for 4 months...
    1. The saw cuts great, I absolutely love the optional micrometer for fine adjustments.
    2. The table top is great, however the aluminum used is very soft, the top scratches very easily. I keep it covered when not using it so I don't set something on the aluminum that could scratch it.
    3. I didn't think the limited distance between the blade and the fence would be a problem, but the 3" distance with the micrometer installed can be a pain. Often I take off the fence. A 6" distance would be perfect"
    4. I've made a few table sleds, they work great! One for 45 degree miniature pic frames, one basic cross cut, one for small box splines and a few for tilt cutting.
    5. No lack of power!!! This saw cuts hardwood great. I cut 1/4" maple, and walnut with out a problem.
    My biggest concern is the soft aluminum top, I've found a couple of times the miter gauge would not slide smoothly, it was caused by a small piece of grit between the top and the miter gauge and made small gouges in the table top. Just keep it clean and everything works fine.
    Overall I love the saw! no vibrations and cuts very accurately.

    The reviews for this saw do not test the tilt table. That is needed if you want to cut a bevel. I bought this saw because
    of the positive reviews. I hoped the tilt table would be positive too. The saw is a real quality tool. The tilt table is
    its kryptonite. I make small crafts and need to cut 2" long soft wood stock with a 22.5 degree bevels on each end that are
    a finished edge. They are needed to make a hex-angular item. Because the way the tilt table is designed it is dangerous.
    The tilt table sits 1/2 in above the saw table. This requires the blade to be raised very high in order to cut through the
    wood. This is a safety concern because most of the time your hands are only less than an inch away from the blade (blade
    guard cant be used with the tilt table) and the blade slings 1/4" chunks of wood all over. The setup is cumbersome which
    is a negative if you have to keep swapping the table on and off as I do it becomes a problem real fast. Setting a proper
    angle is difficult since there is no included way other than using an angle block and that is not easy either because the
    table is mounted on the fence which is in the way when trying to use angle blocks especially if you need to use several
    blocks to get your required angle.
    Overall I think I would have been better off buying a saw with a tilt blade.

    • @richardscott9797
      @richardscott9797 Před 4 lety

      I’ve emailed the manufacturer asking about this very thing but no reply yet. Ideally, this saw and this quality with tilt blade functionality and I would definitely buy it. No tilt is a bit of a deal breaker for me.

      @RonaldWalters2010  Před 8 lety

      +dlr dlr I do not have the tilt table. Do a google search and you will find some reviews with comments about it. Some people don't think too much of it... but you can't believe everything you read on the internet either. The saw itself is very solid and very usable... although a bit expensive. I do have the taper jig and while it is well made, I have not personally found a comfort level to actually try to use it.

    Question! What is the arbor or blade hole diameter. I am about to pull the trigger on this saw but need to know this small detail. Thanks! Sorry I just saw the arbor hole for the carbide blades is 5/8"? I am planning on using only slitting blades as I currently do on my PREAC.

      Two other screws and the whole fence pops off. I didn't buy the micrometer adjustment but made a small wood clamp that clamps on with a nylon screw and a second 1/ 4 20 nylon screw is the adjustment. 1 turn equals .050 inches.

  • @sooth15
    @sooth15 Před 9 lety

    It's a beautiful saw, but for the price, I think I would rather make a precision "small parts" cutting jig for use on a regular table saw. I have plans for one of these in one of my Woodsmith magazines, and I think the total parts cost is under 100$ plus various bits of plywood and hardwood scraps.

    • @RonaldWalters2010
      @RonaldWalters2010  Před 9 lety +2

      azayles I was not looking forward to cutting the thin strips for the pipes on the full size table saw. I decided to purchase this "baby" table saw and used it for all the organ pipes and covers. When I ordered the wood planks for the pipes, I had not yet obtained this saw and calculated my cuts (and wood purchase) based on using the full size table saw. After cutting the wood for 40 pipes (for two organs) I had enough wood left over for another 15 pipes due to the thin kerf blade, being able to utilize most of the 2 inch wide planks and less waste. It has been a very handy little saw.

    • @azyfloof
      @azyfloof Před 9 lety

      Good job! I bet you get a lot cleaner cut with the little saw, too. Can't wait to see more of the organ build, I always look forward to new episodes! Gonna have an organ shaped hole in my heart when the build's finished.

  • @wildbill23c
    @wildbill23c Před 9 lety

    This is definitely not a machine that you'll rush out and buy for a I'll just buy it to have it tool LOL. The saw itself without the accessories is $450 for the 110V model and $475 for the 220V model. Add in the accessories and you have as much money tied up in this little saw as you would if you would have bought a full size contractor type table saw LOL.
    These saws are extremely accurate...much more accurate than my Dremel 4" table saw for sure. Even with the accessories I have for my Dremel, its till a little tricky to get things lined up to make accurate cuts. My dremel table saw is great, but I'd still love to get one of these Byrone's table saws at some point.

    Hmmmm The Motor sounded like it slowed a bit when making that cut ?? How many HP is that motor ? Sounded like its lagging RPM while cutting ?? For the cost of that saw , Id Expect a VERY Clean and Smooth cut with little effort ... ??

    • @RonaldWalters2010
      @RonaldWalters2010  Před 2 lety

      Carbide blades produce a very smooth cut and the motor does not slow down at all in the video. What you are hearing is the sound of the Shop Vac and then the saw motor and blade running and then the blade cutting the plywood. Frequency response of the camera microphone does not handle all of those different sounds/frequencies very well and there is some audio distortion. Specifications for the motor are on the Byrnes website. Google it.

      I suggest you go to their website byrnesmodelmachines.com and send them an email (Contact Us) describing what you need. A serial number from the saw would help identify when it was made. They are very cooperative and I am sure they will help you identify the parts (bolts) you need. It appears they were shut down for vacation but expected to reopen mid-September (which is about now).

You would need to be able to machine some hardwood material (or similar) to perfectly fit into the table miter slots. Personally, I have not had a need for a small crosscut sled, but I would try making my own first. That said, Byrnes makes a quality product (although expensive).

      seafax This is CNC machined and everything is a good fit. Max cut according to the specs is 15/16" although I don't know why anyone would want to make that size cut on this small saw. Check out www.byrnesmodelmachines.com

      Thanks for the info and the link Ronald. One reason a person might like to make deep cuts is when making pieces for segmented bows where angle precision is everything even though the pieces aren't necessarily very think. Having said that I imagine 15/16 would cover all but the most extreme cases for segmented bowl turners and it'd certainly be plenty for me, I was pleasantly surprised to hear it's manage 3/4, which is what I was hoping for.

    Hi, what accessories have you additionally purchased together with the saw? Is it a standard set?

    • @RonaldWalters2010
      @RonaldWalters2010  Před 3 lety

      I don’t think there is a “standard set”. You can look around on their website. www.byrnesmodelmachines.com/tablesaw.html
      I purchased:
      Extended Rip Fence
      Miter Gage
      Rip Taper Gage (which I have never used)
      Micrometer Stop
      Two different additional carbide saw blades (different teeth and widths)
      and... I am considering the sliding table

      @@RonaldWalters2010 By standard equipment I mean whatever paraphernalia which ships together with a saw unit. I just wanted to know what equipment I am looking at in your video. For example 2:13 this Rip Fence is standard? What is Extended Rip Fence which can be additionally purchased? Have you ever used Micrometer Stop? Is Micrometer Stop the same as you call it Fine-Tune Fence Position? And if I wanted to make exact 45 or 65 degrees cuts, would I be able to do it with standard equipment? How is the 4:21 Miter Gage different from the Rip Taper Gage which is an additional part. Now as you got the experience, what extra accessories listed on the Byrnes page do you recommend buying at the first shot?

    • @RonaldWalters2010
      @RonaldWalters2010  Před 3 lety

      The saw itself comes with a very short fence, one saw blade, the motor of your choice (110v 60hz or 220v 50hz) and a wrench for locking the blade height.
      All the items I listed are shown in the video. Watch the video again.
      The Extended Rip Fence is an accessory, which you can purchase. The extended fence is about 1” high and mounts on top of the standard fence. I demonstrate the removal and installation of the extended fence in the video.
      The Micrometer Stop has been handy when I was making pipes for my street organs. It is used to “fine-tune” the rip fence position.
      The Miter Gage can be set for various angles 45 or 65 degrees, etc. and works as one would work on a full size table saw. Usually used for angled cross cuts. Also an accessory item you can purchase.
      The Rip Taper Gage is used for angled long cuts. I have not use it (yet).
      I would still purchase everything I listed previously except the Rip Taper Fence… unless you know you have a use for it.
      The Sliding Table looks like a very useful item (if you have use for it ).
      If you have experience using a full size table saw, all of this should be obvious as to how they are used. Otherwise you are going to need to study the website before making your decision.
      I used a small Dremel table saw for years and it was very crude by comparison. This is like buying a Mercedes. Huge difference.

    AT $500 this is the cream of the crop unless you make your own. For the right group, this is the one you want, the best thing about this unit is the huge motor. I have a Dremel purchased back in the 80s. OK but still somewhat a toy, workable though. For 250 Id rather get a real table saw from the 70s 80s, not all plastic. Then again I'm slicing cedar for an RC sailboat I will be building soon with my son. I just can see sinking 5 into this Id rather jig up my Toy for better cuts.

    Thank you.

    • @RonaldWalters2010
      @RonaldWalters2010  Před 7 lety

      Belt drive. The starting torque of the motor trying to accelerate the blade very briefly tries to climb up the belt. Belt tension is accomplished by a spring under compression... so the starting torque bounces the motor slightly on the spring.

      Hi Ronald, can you tell me please, what kind of belt is used and what is the diameter of the pulleys? Is it V belt or timing belt? I wanted to buy this saw, but the shipement to my country is $900, and then 23% taxes over the whole amount. So I started building mine - just litle bit bigger and simpler.

    • @Noeman2009
      @Noeman2009 Před 7 lety

      Ivan Ilarionov V belt with cleats is better. The choices are Metric (e.q T Belt) or imperial (e.g XL Belt), depends on the availability of the parts needed (pulley and belt)

    • @ivanilarionov1893
      @ivanilarionov1893 Před 7 lety

      My plan is to use 100 and 125mm saw blades. The slitting blades that I can find have 22mm arbor diameter, also I can find normal woodworking blades with 20 and 22.2 mm arbor. The table will be 10mm thick aluminium. In order to keep at least 15mm from the blade above the table, I decided to construct my own bearing housing. It is an 'H' shaped aluminium block, which holds 35 outside/15mm insside bearings and has a small shaft at the one for changing cutting depth. So this construction restricts the pulley diameter to about 46mm. I found only one model of clеated belt (optibelt super-tx) that supports so small diameter, but the minimum lenght is 597mm. I will use 250W motor, mounted to the above mentioned aluminium block. That's why 597mm is too long and I decided to use 9mm wide 3M timing belt. Unfortunately I'm not a machinist and I'm paying for machining the parts, which is not very cheap, but still I hope the final cost will be within 400 EUR.

      @RonaldWalters2010  Před 4 lety

      No. I meant 15/16” max. The saw only has a 3 or 4” diameter blade and the arbor stays well below the top of the table. I don’t usually use it on anything thicker than 1/2” or 5/8”.
