New Table saw Problems

Jan 13, 2005 15 Replies

I recently bought a new tablesaw and after waiting months for delivery, I'm having problems.



I set it up following the instrucition. I aligned the blade perfectly. The fence, a Bies close, is perfect to the miter slot.



For my first test, I ripped an old 2 x 4 and it gave a nice clean cut, no burning. Then using the miter I made a series of cross cuts and the angle was a true 90 degrees. After testing, I cleaned it up and put on a brand new fine tooth blade, then put it to work for its intended purpose cross cutting sausage in the butcher shop.



Every time I try to make a cut, I barely get throught he casing and the saw stops and the blade falls out. I reset it, try the 2 x 4 and it seems OK. They I grab a long kielbasa and WHAM, the blade stops. Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong? Ralph Engerman.


Nice try but the new Saw Stop technology ruins the blade and requires a replacement of the aluminum jam block every time it activates. But I'm really glad to know my sausage will be safe!

I loved the setup -- I was sold. 10 points.

ummmmm..... did ya remove the underware first????? LMAO... at least it didnt trip the breaker!!

skeez

I love that. A Bies clone would be an exact copy, but a Bies close, could have a lot of differences.

It's pretty obvious...... your air cleaner is full of it!

Jeezus, I just spewed a mouthfull of Fat Tire Amber Ale all over my monitor.

Duh! ... you bought the XT (tubafour) model, dummy. You need to upgrade to the XS model (sausage). It's twice the price, but you will only cry once.

You forgot to order the proprietaty SawGo option. List price is approx US$400 and we expect to begin shipping early in the third quarter of 2012.

For cutting sausage I prefer the method perfected by Lorena Bobbit . Hand tools are quick and can cut the sausage with no problem.

Hook, line and sinker! Nice job!

====================== Hang the saw upside down from the ceiling.... Then lay under the say ..flat on your back and "toss" the workpiece (Sausage )up into the blade... I bet that will work ...

I wonder what became of Ralph's direct drive Unisaw conversion project? ;-)
