Yep, that would make it kinda' tough.

The second video is a bit long but he is quite thorough.

Sorry ketoet, but I don't trust the style of push stick that you shared, because it doesn't hold the wood to the table at the other end of the blade.

I understand your concern tom. With my tablesaw that's not necessary because the dust extraction is just above the wood. With the smaller type tablesaws i get your concern. Personally never had a problem with the wood coming up.

This is the next gen of what i have but the dust extraction is very similar

My method of dust extraction is a leaf blower on a tripod that blows across the table and out the shop door into the backyard.

That method would get you in trouble with the police real quick over here . Dust extraction is mandatory for a professional workshop like mine

I recently upgraded from a standard hand whisk/broom/pan combo to push broom and shop vac. Living the good life

It's required for professional shops here as well, not by the law, but by the insurance company that holds your policy, for fire prevention. In my case what's sawdust at the blade is mulch when it goes out the door.

I assume you don't use much mdf for your speakers ( neither do i) . Over here it's used a lot for interior finishing which i do a lot so i'm greatfull for the excellent dust extraction.
Their working on a law now that will make it illegal to make dust on the worksite aswell. Every hole drilled will have to have some sort of dust extraction involved. Same for cutting wood, a vacuüm cleaner will have to be used . Even by diy'ers who have just one contractor on site

I guess Belgian woodpeckers are going to be in trouble.

Haven't seen a lot of those around and never one with help from a contractor

Jumpin Jimminy, that is one fancy table saw! It even as a pre-cutter underneath to prevent tear-out without having to use a zero-clearance plate!

Thanks Anton. I'm all about making one from scratch and would love any further input and links. And thanks for the well wishes

It's too bad all the hosts are dropping like flies. It looks to me like photobucket is on it's way out too.

I had to search for the old pictures, turns out I still got them, tucked away in some digital corner. Here you go.

I have something very similar to that for my old router

That's really fancy. My DIY circle jig was just a piece of old paneling I had laying around. Cut a hole for the router bit and the screws to fasten it, then measure out from there to where I wanted a pivot and drilled a hole for a dowel.

Cut a bunch of baffles that way.

But, then I got one of these.....much better....
