A Kid's Review on February 9, 2011
As a beginner to woodworking in general and tablesaws, I wanted to learn as much as I could about the tablesaws before purchasing and even more importantly turning one on first.

I found this video to be a great guide on the concepts of how to setup, adjust and align a table saws, the importance of having well aligned blade and fence not only for the quality of the cuts, but perhaps even more importantly the safe operation of the tool.

Mr. Mehler's style is laid back, confident and friendly, while keeping things interesting and well paced.

Highly recommended. In fact, it should be a requirement that anyone turning on a tablesaw for the first time, the watch this video. And even after that it would be a good idea to pop this in the DVD player from time to time for refresher.

Production quality regarding sound is the only flaw in an otherwise excellent video.

If you are the type of woodworker who forms "Bad habits," or " forgets" as I do, this is a great toll to remind us to get back into better woodwork habits.

Have owned this for awhile, and I reviewed it this morning as I don't have a 3-5 horspower shop saw. I will, but not now. That is why this DVD works for me! I have an oldy but not to baddie, Craftsman saw which I purchased when I was more ignorant! It cuts well, and is belt driven.

This video/DVD reminds me to do my maintenace, adjust the table saw components and that I don't need a lot of extras that I can't fabricate myself, until I can buy the "big one".

This is a DVD that explains how to adapt my type of saw, adjust my type of saw, and take the most from it.

I apologize for not writing sooner.

Another goodie from Tauton who have been doing this for a long time

I bought this for a young person starting a woodworking hobby. I watched it when I was starting the hobby and found that it is great guidance for those who want to learn to use a table saw and do so safely.

I just finished watching this video for the first time, and I thought it was excellent in every respect. Kelly Mehler not only knows his subject, he knows how to explain the different ways to use the table saw in a clear way. I am a beginner woodworker and I appreciate Taunton Press having made this DVD available.

I really liked seeing the walk through from basic saw setup to actual applications. I am new to the world of table saws and find the video to be invaluable. I have worked with many saws but just never a table saw and all the stories and horror stories made me nervous. I feel much more confident after watching this video (on my second time now). I would have given it 5 stars but the DVD cracked the first time I took it out of the case - cheap plastic media and a really tight case. I also bought Taunton's Complete Illustrated Guide to Tablesaws and have found them both very helpful.

I am an amateur woodworker, and am planning of purchasing a table saw of my own soon. I read the accompanying book by Kelly Mehler, and thought that seeing was equally worth the price of the DVD. This disk is well done and informative for the beginner. It covers basics such as types of saws, proper setup and adjustment, and of course safe use and technique. Recommended.

This is a reasonably good introduction for a beginner or beginner-intermediate. Mehler briefly presents his great cabinet saw setup at the beginning - a setup that few of us will ever have - and then switches to a Delta Contractor saw for everything else in the video. At the time the video was made, that saw was one of the best and most popular amateur table saws around, so it is a good choice.

His borrowed Delta saw is disassembled, and he gives an overview of assembly, which is useful for understanding how it works. He breezes over essential maintenance, enough to make you aware of it but not enough to teach you to do it. I think that is appropriate, because an in-depth treatment of maintenance would take at least the entire DVD, and may not apply to that many table saws. One thing that stood out for me was the alignment of blade to mitre slots, which involves loosening the trunion nuts, "both front and back". That's all he says about it. Unfortunately, loosening the front trunion nuts seems nearly impossible in an assembled saw, and there are no hints. Maybe in the companion book?

From there he breezes through many common kinds of cuts - ripping, crosscuts, rabbets and dadoes - and even the less uncommon cove cut. In each of these, he shows jigs or relevant techniques. Not enough info to build one in all cases, but that's what books and online resources are for. For rabbets, he deliberately sets it up incorrectly and, without warning, shows the resulting kickback. Then he explains why he did this and a better way of doing it without having a piece of wood thrown at you.

I consider myself an intermediate woodworker. I have done most of the techniques he shows, but not always the same way.
