1.0 out of 5 stars Not a "good" book, February 27, 2003
By William F. Cummings (Apache Junction, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Sorry, but I disagree with all the "good" reviews here. I made the mistake of reading them, then ordering the book. It is not worth the money, nor the time it takes to look at it.

The pictures all look like they are from a 1940's high school shop manual. Pictures lack detail and are blurry.

Descriptions of accessories are lacking in detail and don't seem to note "how to make" any of them.

My suggestion is to look elsewhere for "table saw techniques" rather than buy this book.

Sorry I didn't do so.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book, used wisely is a key to the Tablesaw!, October 17, 2001
When I decided to do this review, I thought it would be just another book to study and evaluate. However, it is much, much more. Regrettably, it is also the last review I will do on a Roger W. Cliffe book, due to Roger's untimely passing. We will all miss your insight and guidance, Roger. While Table Saw Techniques is clearly just what one has come to expect from Roger, a well-thought out book with lots of secrets reveled and many projects to hone your skills, this book is now in new edition and ready to lead the woodworker on through table saw use for the next twenty years. I can recall the day I bought my first copy of this book. It was published in 1984 and I took it saw shopping with me when I got my saw. I have used it since as a benchmark for anything to do with the table saw, from the basics to more advanced techniques. This book, used wisely and in its entirety, will make the reader proficient in the use of the table saw. This new edition is the real deal, a lifetime of knowledge in-between the cover pages. If you don't already own this book, buy it- it's a must! (copyright) Thisoldworkshop Lance Granum Posted to Amazon With My express permission

5.0 out of 5 stars The best intro to the table saw book out there., October 14, 2002
By "maemme" (La Crosse, WI) - See all my reviews
This is a very strong book on the use of the table saw. I can not think of another one that even comes close. It covers both basic use of this tool as well as many of the more complex things that you can make it do. I think it would be most helpful to those people who have not done much with the table saw. That said it has things to offer to even the more advanced woodworker. It presents the basics in such a way as to build confidence, keep fingers and at the sametime teach useful skills.
