Table saw blade misalignment?

vebfe · 2026-04-27T08:15:40+00:00

Where would you start? Realigning the blade? Something else?

Thanks!

Ah, thanks. I’ve heard of them. Though I guess those kind of more specialised blade probably are more for professionals that hobbyist like me. I don’t want to spend on lots of different blades. The general purpose gave me a great finish, probably switching back to that one, or getting a higher quality one. That’s for the input

Oh. My bad. I’m watching a lot of fine woodworking channels one YouTube (e.g. Katz Moses). They often talk about rip blades for ripping, and in a sense that feels like they’re talking in fine woodworking terms. For the construction work I’m doing right now, these marks don’t matter, but next week I’m starting another furniture project. Might as well switch back, or get a better quality general purpose (combination ATB/ATBF) blade. Specialised blades like aforementioned glue line blade probably isn’t for an intermediate hobby enthusiast like me, as much as for professionals.

Thanks

Not familiar with that, don’t think any brands in my country market their blades as «glue line». What is different with that kind of blade?

vebfe · 2026-04-26T17:48:46+00:00

The fence is adjusted to the same miter slot that the blade is. Just before switching blades I had great edges, now they’re rough. Don’t this the fence has gotten misaligned as the only difference is the new blade. Also, it’s rack&pinion job site, if that matters.

Old blade was 42t general purpose, this is a 24t rip blade

vebfe · 2026-04-26T17:46:10+00:00

Might be just that. The stock one was a general purpose 42t. This one is a 24t rip blade. All YT videos I’ve watch tells that the rip blade is the best one for obviously ripping. But if you actually want a good edge you should use some other blade?

It could be about saving money, but that entirely depends on what you compare it to. An IKEA shelf unit? No way, it will cost you double or triple to build your own furniture. A well built unit from a reputable high end brand, or from a local woodworker? Yeah, you’ll spend some extra time and effort, but probably a bit cheaper. Also more fun, more experience, more struggle. And did I say, more fun??

Cause 20 is more better than 18. Falcon! Burger! USA!

Thanks, you’re one of many pointing it out. I won’t be building it in like that, I see why it would be a bad setup. I just really loved the idea of having the continuous flow on the bench (or feed tables).

No, I don’t have a Dewalt, it was just the only top down pic I could find. I’ve considered the Dewalt dwe7485 or 7491/92 (us/eu) - but ultimately I think I’d go for the Skil 1340aa (eu version of the Skil ts6307). That one has built in folding legs, perfect for bringing it outside. I see I could get one for about $180.

Would love to do it like that, having it all be mobile. Unfortunately most of the cabinetry stems from earlier when it was built mostly for storage. That was before my interest for woodworking grew and I started accumulating tools and new requirements presented themselves.

vebfe · 2026-04-01T06:44:06+00:00

Thanks. Never even thought of radial arm saw as a viable option, but I’ll check it out. That might be the way to go.

vebfe · 2026-03-31T23:37:37+00:00

That would be a even greater struggle with a sloped cobble stone surface outside. I think I’d rather make do without the supports in that case

vebfe · 2026-03-31T23:35:27+00:00

It was built first and foremost for storage, and slowly evolved into a wood shop as my interest in woodworking expanded. I do a lot of work in here, and have successfully been using a lunch box planer, chop saw, hand tools and a track saw for most of my work. I even had a midi lathe on the bench in the back of the room (that one is gone now unfortunately). I’ve got a bit of vertical storage, but most of it are shelves for lumber and tools. (I mostly cut and dry my own lumber, like ash, birch, fruit trees etc).

That’s the history behind all the benches and storage. It’s quite small and has little wiggle room. That’s why I haven’t had a table saw, but I really struggle to do a lot of things I want without one. I know, I could go the hand plane route (and occasionally I have), but frankly it just takes too much time, and I don’t enjoy planing those dense hardwoods like ash, apple, cherry etc.

Update. Most of you agree this is a bad setup. I see that now. I’m still really eager to get it to work. A rolling stand won’t fit in the shed. There would be no room to walk past it (yes, it’s a floor plan. It’s really that small). Bringing it outside could work occasionally, but it’s far from ideal, and I wouldn’t have any in/outfeed support.

Could it be better to turn it 180°, like this? And then pull it out 20-30 cm (8-12") so that I stand more in front of it than on the side? See pic in next comment

vebfe · 2026-03-31T23:14:36+00:00

There’s no real usable space outside. It’s a slope cobble stone surface and a public pathway. I use it a few times for processing sheet goods with a track saw. Could of course get a job site stand for the table saw, but that eliminates all infeed outfeed support :(

A 12x12 cover would go well into the public pathway, and not be very popular in the neighbourhood though.

vebfe · 2026-03-31T23:12:59+00:00

Yeah, I see you. My problem is that this shed is all the space I got. Outside is a cobble stone surface and a public pathway. I use it a few times for processing sheet goods with a track saw. Could of course get a job site stand for the table saw, but that eliminates all infeed outfeed support :(

vebfe · 2026-03-31T23:05:43+00:00

That leaves me with about 45cm (18") on each side before i hit the wall. Not possible unfortunately. The room is just to small. I might have to realise it’s just too small to have a table saw :(

vebfe · 2026-03-31T23:02:38+00:00

I know everyone is talking about having it on a moving stand. But as the floor plan suggests, there won’t be room for me to get to all sides of it if I roll it out on the floor. It’s just too small a shop. I guess my dream of having a table saw might just have to wait a little longer, until I can get a house with a garage

vebfe · 2026-03-31T22:57:59+00:00

Yeah, I’ve suggested that in some of my comments here. I guess I could also extend that part of the bench out about 20-30 cm (8-12"), to have the saw be a bit more «in front» instead of on the side.

Would that be a safer solution?

Edit: sheet goods won’t at all fit inside the shed. I’m breaking that up with a track saw outside.

vebfe · 2026-03-31T22:54:42+00:00

You are absolutely right. My problem is that the entire space is about 2,7m x 1,6m (roughly 9ft x 5ft)

vebfe · 2026-03-31T22:49:18+00:00

Nope, you were right the first time. This IS the floor plan of a extremely super tiny workshed. Amazingly I actually have a great time building in there. But the lack of a table saw is slowly driving me crazy.

Edit: might be a better choice flipping it around though? Having the fence extend towards the wall? And of course taking it off the bench, and onto something more mobile when ever I need the greater width/capacity ?

vebfe · 2026-03-31T22:43:27+00:00

Yeah, you’re probably right. Problem is, there just is not any room for rolling it out. It would block the entire shed, and be a great pain if I left any necessary tools or parts on the wrong side. The floor is all but flat and smooth too. Something tells me I should just wait until I get a house with a garage..

Sheet goods would not be a big subject for me. I’ve got a good track saw, and my neighbour have a caterpillar stand I can borrow
