Re: all about tablesaws

now why would anyone want to spend extra on safety on the ts? look here

Re: all about tablesaws

Ok. That riving knife and the plastic cover goes back in.

Found it misaligned so used a box cutter blade to shim it. Better but still jams. Will have to do some more fixing. Otherwise, will just improvise some clear plastic flapper on top.

Sorry for being lazy on the Search.

Re: all about tablesaws

post several pictures, alignment could be as easy as slightly bending it back to place. Jamming could also cause unwanted kickbacks.

Will reinstall knife, putter around with it, then post photos if still a nuisance. It was ok for crosscuts. Ripping is the problem. But I do some extreme ripping. Urging some 24 foot long lumber into 24 foot long strips of 15mm x 22mm. Here's my current setup, sans riving knife.

sir, try resizing your pictures at you photobucket to 480x680 mp... and the next ones before uploadin. big pictures will cut your ability to edit your post and almost impossible to understand with the missing words...

[COLOR="Blue"]Sorry about that. Still learning this forum. Here's what I wanted to say in the prior message:

Thanks. Problem solved.

Reinstalled the riving knife then sinipat. Saw the problem. The angle bracket where the knife is connected to is not a right angle. Tried disassebmbling my TS to get at the bracket and mallet it to a true 90. But too many screws with soft heads I'd end up damaging the crews. Decided to attack the riving knife instead. Did some controlled malleting and, after about a half hour of this, managed to mangle the riving knife into a functional bent form.

With an improvised feather board, I'm again ripping away safely.

Re: all about tablesaws

Great! just wondering, what wood were you cutting that is 24' long?

Re: all about tablesaws

Ordinary lauan. Found a shop in Angono that has them, air dried for a number of years now. But they were in 2x10s so had to rip.

Using them for the hull of a 23foot boat. It will then be sheathed with fiberglass and epoxy so that the wood will be visible underneath.

Re: all about tablesaws

^Grammy, would that transparent sheath be as of equal strength to most of the hulls that we see normally?

Re: all about tablesaws

Absolutely. Fiberglass-epoxy is much stronger than wood. In all tests, wood breaks before the FG. Wood is actually used only as the core. I'll be using 200gsm FG cloth. I know of a professional boatbuilder in Cainta who even uses foam as core then sheathes it.

For below the waterline, I will add a layer of biaxial fiberglass that is much heavier (400gsm) as added protection against scrapes.

Re: all about tablesaws

Not sure if I should post this here or open a new thread.

I have a Ryobi TS ETS1526AL and happy with it except for one flaw which I have learned to live with: the blade is "paling" (skewed). This means that the fence and blade are not exactly parallel.

Not a major problem as I have learned to live with it by adjusting my fence. So far, using it for rough ripping. But I foresee when I get to some fine cutting later, I will need to correct this.

Has anyone disassembled this TS before who could give me some tips on how to do it? Or is there some blade alignment screw somewhere?

Thanks in advance!

Re: all about tablesaws

I have not disassembled one of those yet 😀 but I am sure there are trunion adjustments bolts there somewhere in the front and back of the machine.

Re: all about tablesaws

An [COLOR="Blue"]alternative to sawstop. This one doesn't damage the blade and can be retrofitted into the old model table saws.

Yun nga lang, hindi pa available sa market.
