ABOUT THIS BOOK

USER REVIEWS

Only if it were magic....
~ Written on Sep 13, 2009. out of users found this review helpful.

This book covers quite a lot from setting up the table saw to making jigs that make cutting wood a breeze. It also covers selecting the right blade to use for ripping, crosscut and plywood. He also suggest what type of table saw to buy depending upon the space you have. It is a good reference to have in your library.

Do You Believe in Magic?

I do now. Tolpin writes as if he's having a conversation with you - and that he really wants you to learn. Even an expert in table saw use can find something of interest here. I never knew how much I didn't know about my table saw. Thanks to Tolpin, my saw now works better and I do better work with it.

This isn't a book that includes everything about the tool and every jig ever designed for it. It is, however, much more than an introduction and someone new to woodworking would benefit tremendously from reading it.

A Wise Purchase
~ Written on Jan 18, 2008. out of users found this review helpful.

As a new owner of a quality table saw and following the suggestions of a woodshop instructor friend, I purchased this "manual" to better understand the proper and safe use of a powerful table saw.
Most of my woodworking education has been, "self-taught" and as I age I appreciate the benefits of following safe practises and still having ten fingers.

A good book in many ways.

Tolpin has put together a grand book on the table saw. A little bit of tricks, some jigs, when it's good and possible to use it and things to build for safety. Some things he wrote about I would not use. I believe that it's safe to use, but... I don't think I'll be cutting any circles with my saw, but if anyone asked me if you can, I'll say "Yes", you can do it safely. I'll keep this publication close to my saw for the future.

Very thorough!

Several good reviews on this book, all are correct IMO. This book is very thorough.... I thought I knew a LOT about TS's, but this book taught me even more. Some very useful jigs, safe work methods (very critical when cutting small strips), great set up instructions, and, great charts on type of blades to use. If you use a TS, there is something extra you will learn if you buy this book...
