Product Description
Product Description
The tablesaw is the cornerstone of most shops, able to cut precise dados and rip full sheets of plywood with ease. Still, many woodworkers aren't using this tool to its full extent. This collection of articles from Fine Woodworking magazine remedies that. Written by experts, these 26 articles cover every aspect of the subject and is an ideal reference for woodworkers of all skill levels. Section 1 covers techniques, including a basic primer and articles on safety procedures, cutting coves, and template cutting. Section 2 on joinery features box joints, dovetails, and tenons. Section 3 goes deeper into safety aspects: dust-proofing, tablesaw guards, and preventing kickback. Section 4 explores reproducing a project and creating a one-stop cutting station. Section 5 covers shop made accessories. With plans and instructions for building a variety of jigs and accessories, and a wealth of color photos and black-and-white illustrations, Working with Tablesaws is a welcome addition to the home workshop library.

What an unbelievable cheek from the Taunton press. This book is a compilation of already published magazine articles. So it repeats itself in a way a book that had been written by a single author would not have done. It is also wildly out of date in places and lacks everything that an old magazine does when compared to a book on the same subject. It is always the same with companies that tell you how great they are. If they do not want to mislead they should be more honest about the fact that it is a compilation of articles. I would not have purchased this book if could have browsed through it. Shame on you Taunton press.

Excellent book, suitable for all levels of wood worker. This book shows hints and tips on how to get the best out of your table saw together with plans for jigs that you can make to use on your table saw. Well worth the money in comparison to other books.

Not really a book
16 April 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The author opens with lamenting how he wished he had this book when he bought a table saw at a garage sale and could never get it to cut straight because it was not tuned properly. However the book fails to mention how to properly tune and align a table saw. There is plenty of information on cutting coves but nothing on more likely beginner task cutting the tapers for table legs. While this book does have value to the safe use of a table saw it is a hodgepodge collection of past tablesaw magazine articles.
