Customer Reviews from Amazon

Production quality regarding sound is the only flaw in an otherwise excellent video.

If you are the type of woodworker who forms "Bad habits," or " forgets" as I do, this is a great toll to remind us to get back into better woodwork habits.

Have owned this for awhile, and I reviewed it this morning as I don't have a 3-5 horspower shop saw. I will, but not now. That is why this DVD works for me! I have an oldy but not to baddie, Craftsman saw which I purchased when I was more ignorant! It cuts well, and is belt driven.

This video/DVD reminds me to do my maintenace, adjust the table saw components and that I don't need a lot of extras that I can't fabricate myself, until I can buy the "big one".

This is a DVD that explains how to adapt my type of saw, adjust my type of saw, and take the most from it.

I apologize for not writing sooner.

Another goodie from Tauton who have been doing this for a long time

I just finished watching this video for the first time, and I thought it was excellent in every respect. Kelly Mehler not only knows his subject, he knows how to explain the different ways to use the table saw in a clear way. I am a beginner woodworker and I appreciate Taunton Press having made this DVD available.
