Anthony also provides a wealth of ideas and designs for extremely useful jigs. Like a tablesaw itself, this wonderfully visual guide belongs in the shop of every woodworker.

The Complete Guide to Table Saws.
26 Mar 2009
Format:Paperback
I am a professional woodworker,in my 20+ year career I have read many books and articles on power tools. This book is by far the most complete,concise,most comprehensive doctrine on the table saw that I have ever read. Mr.Anthony covers all aspects of using the table saw from basic cuts,safety devices,jigs and fixtures,maintenance,speciality cuts,dadoes,coves,joinery,dust collection,the list goes on. Whether you are an experienced woodworker or just a beginner there is information in this book that everyone can benefit from. I would guess the only thing better than reading this book would be to spend a week or two with Mr.Anthony in a shop and attempt to glean this much knowledge in one sitting,regardless the book could still be used for reference when the tutilage has ended. The emphasis on safety is apparent throughout the book without becoming overbearing causing the reader to dismiss the message. The pictures and illustrations are well thought out and mesh very well with the text to give the reader the most information possible.

Most informative I've ever seen
21 Jan 2009
Format:Paperback
Being a professional woodworker (luthier) I have many, many reference books on shop tools. This is by far the best I have come across for any shop tool. In addition to expertly explaining and photographing the more common topics of table saws, fixtures and proper usage, the author has addressed topics not to be found in other guides.
Beginning with the basics of choosing, proper usage and common fixtures for your table saw, he leads you into in-depth topics such as peripherals like out feed tables, dust collection systems, saw blades and creating very clever custom fixtures. The maintenance topics even include changing out an arbor on an old saw! All of this is accompanied by a ton of easy to follow pictures, leading you every step of the way. This book educates the beginner and challenges even the most advanced woodworker.
If a bible on the table saw was ever made, this is it and should be the only one you need in your library!

Comprehensive
6 July 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The book is written to communicate usage and fixtures for working with most table saws. There is enough concern and warnings about unsafe operations for beginners to retain all their fingers and eyes. The book contains procedures, such as a tuneup, that can be used with most brands, and techniques for operation that are very helpful. It also shows how to construct some very useful, inexpensive jigs to save time and increase accuracy. All in all a very useful reference.
