Cleaning, Setting Up, and Maintaining a Table SawI'm starting work on the next Woodworkers Resource Video podcast and thought I'd ask for your feedback. This episode will be on taking care of one of the most used power tools in the shop, the table saw. We'll be looking at ways to clean the inter-workings of the saw as well as making sure that the saw is set up properly so that you get nice clean, square cuts. In addition, we'll go over several ways to keep your table saw working in tip top shape long after you've put everything back together. What I need from you is to see if you have anything in particular that you'd like me to cover in the video when it comes to this topic. If there is, email me or simply commit on this blog entry, and I'll try to cover it as well. If you're a subscriber to our Newsletter, you'll be getting an email letting you know when our table saw video is ready to view. If you're not yet a subscriber to our newsletter, simple fill in your first name and email address in the blanks in the upper left-hand corner of the homepage of our website. Now, you'll have to excuse me, I need to rehearse my lines -Craig Stevens |

Rip fences, rip fences, and more rip fences - I would like to see some coverage about table saw rip fences. In particular, my stock rip fence moves (it slides almost 1/16th of inch side to side) at the tail end. I have a contractor saw and the tail end of the fence has a plastic disc that rides on the rear rail. The problem is that the disc slides on the rail after I lock the fence into position. I have thought about cleaning the rail with mineral spirits to create more friction but I am concerned that it would impact the fences ability to slide back and forth. As a result, I have been researching the various after market fences (biesemeyer and Incra TSIII). Thus, any coverage or tips for calibrating rip fences relative to my issue described above would be great.
Your article on cleaning the pitch was great â I will go with the Simple Green instead of the expensive cleaner. Great tip!
Thanks,
Mike

Sounds good I can't wait. I am kinda of a neat freak when it comes to keeping my tools (and my house) nice and clean.
