New Yankee Workshop Episode 1908

In this episode, demonstrating table saws, (part one of a two part project) Norm used the following tools:

• Biesemeyer fence
• Claw hammer
• Delta 28-280 band saw
• Combination square
• Delta contractors saw
• Delta 36-98x contractors saw
• Delta 36-71x hybrid saw
• Dowl-it jig
• Hitachi C10RA benchtop saw
• Jack Rabbit driver
• Porter-Cable 2620 drill
• Porter-Cable 691 router
• Porter-Cable 7529 router
• Porter-Cable 98xx cordless drill
• Porter-Cable PIN100 pin nailer
• Quick-Grip
• Tru-Grip clamp
• Unisaw
• Insert, red
• Insert, oak insert
• Vise-Grip locking pliers

Items in bold represent the first appearance of that particular tool.

Neither the benchtop saw nor either of the contractors saws were actually used. Norm did use the hybrid saw to demonstrate the outfeed table he built for it.

Norm made much of the oak insert zero clearance insert, apparently unaware that it no longer seems to be available.

Overall, I thought this episode was quite well done.

Norm covered safety issues in great detail in lieu of the usual safety speech. There was no accompanying stock video.

No field trip.
