"By adding the plywood it also gave him a sort of table top so he has someplace to put his pencil and tape measure while he's cutting."
"Great construction, but overbuilt."
"Using this with my Dewalt chop saw."
"Husband loves it."
"Perfect fit for the Dewalt saw i mounted to it."
"The out-feed rollers work nicely enabling long pieces of lumber to be managed for quick and accurate cutting."
"Great saw table, a must have if your saw is as heavy as mine, can move alone, no problem, good quality, and easy to assemble, glad I ordered this one, shock assist is great too."

Find Best Price at Amazon"It's difficult to fully appreciate without actually holding one in your hand, and I remained fully skeptical right up until the first cut when I realized ... whoa. It allows you to control the work piece through the entire length of the cut, and gives you the ability to make cuts that would otherwise be too risky – with complete control. That control also makes your cuts more accurate."
"When he suffered a (not horribly serious, but painful nonetheless) hand injury, I decided he needed this."
"Great safety item when your are cutting on your tablesaw."
"I really like this tool - keeps my hands away from the table saw blade nicely."
"Perfect for adding a layer of precaution when using a table saw or router."
"This hold down allows me to feed my stock through the blade while maintaining downward pressure, and feeling confident it won't slip."
"Whoever came up with this idea is a genius."
"I like that it's adjustable and feels safer for the fingers!"
Heavy duty contractor grade, with a tough powder coated steel finish.

"The sliders could be a little smoother, but I'm hesitant to grease them, due to the sawdust."
"Worked as expected."
"I used this to hold a 12" planer and it works well."
"Nice that it comes with all the bolts and hardware to completely set your saw up, very stable, and the price was right."
"I highly recommend this stand."
"For the price it is an awesome stand."
"Improvement could be to add a little bit more height flexibility to the tubular supports on the sides."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I did need to clamp a stay to the wheel to keep the tire from slithering off as I worked it around. The tire was just wide enough that it didn't automatically fall into its seat in the wheel; as I rolled a screwdriver shank around under the tire to equalize the tension, I also had to work the edges into the wheel. I'll have to fabricate something more permanent that won't fall out when the tension is released. With the light tension applied to the 1/4" blade, I actually pulled it off the wheels when I got it a little bit bound in the kerf while withdrawing a workpiece, opposite the direction of cut. In the end, these tires work, but they're really not the right tires."
"Then I smoothed out the tire by running a 3/8" dowel between the tire and wheel several times around."
"I measured the circumference of the wheels, and they were about 14", so I ordered these 14" urethane bands to put on the two wheels. I ended up putting a little metal rod in my heavy vice, put one end of the band around the rod with the other end on part of the band saw wheel, and I slowly turned the wheel to put the bands on."
"After carefully tucking the tire into the groove for the circumference of the wheel, I installed a 1/2" blade and things worked fine."
"Second, I used the inexpensive tools that I used to change bicycle tires to put on the band saw tires."
Best Circular Saw Accessories
Makita guide rail to be used with the SP6000K. Interacts with the saw base and engineered to deliver smooth, dead-on straight or bevel cutting.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"But the makita kit did include two unlike festool which sells them as singles for $20 a pop. There’s no denying that the fit and finish of the festool stuff is better, but at a bit over half the price, I’m pretty pleased with the makita system."
"I used a framing square with stair gauges to draw a perfectly square line then placed the guides on the line and got a perfectly square cut."
"They shipped fast, but upon opening them, one had a very significant bend, lifting it off the floor almost 1/8th of an inch. This track is almost identical to my Festool track, with the only differences being 1) the locking lip that keeps the Makita saw from lifting up, and 2) the zero-clearance strip is black, as opposed to the clear strips on Festool tracks -- it is much more stiff than the clear Festool strips."
"Nice trac, Makita quality."
"nice track at 1/3 the cost of festool .. Be careful though."
"I was disappointed to discover that the track is bowed 1/8" across the width of the track which will cause the saw to track in an arc rather than in a straight line."
"tracks were cupped and had to be flattened."
"The rail Makita 194368-5 Guide Rail, 55-Inch was bowed so that the saw cut would not be 90 degrees to horizontal."
Best Jig Saw Accessories
The BLACK+DECKER BDCMTJS Matrix Jig Saw Attachment has a compact design that maximizes user control for access in tight spaces. Tool-free blade change for Fast & Easy change of blades.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Cutting steel is easy, but does take some time and is best not to rush as the drill will really start to slow and can choke up if pushed too hard. The entire body except for the shoe is plastic, but is sturdy and has been dropped accidentally a few times without any marks and will surely hold up to what you throw at it to an extent."
"It fits standard blades (so far I've only tried Bosch T-Shank blades but I believe you can also use U-Shank blades) and it comes packaged with a fine tooth blade, which works though the metal is a bit thin."
"I absolutely love my Black and Decker Matrix system and this Jig Saw attachment is the perfect addition."
"It does take a while to get use to the stationary head mount where as on a regular jig saw the head mount is flexible."
"I cut 3/4” dressed and 2” rough treated SYP lumber with the jig saw attachment."
"BD makes a circular saw too but not as attachment."
"If you work around your house fixing little or big things, or doing small home improvement projects, this is a very versatile tool to have in your repertoire!"
"Super useful cutting tight corners, close angles."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"The miter saw stand that I received was the correct model number listed but it was not the same one that is pictured."
"Since the properly assembled product was so good, it far outweighed the terrible instructions and netted 4 stars."
"Great addition to my power tool selection and the saw now stands up vertically and takes up a lot less room, plus the large wheels make moving the saw extremely easy and less back-breaking than with a stationary stand I previously used."
"By adding the plywood it also gave him a sort of table top so he has someplace to put his pencil and tape measure while he's cutting."
"Pros: - Very sturdy build. - reasonable assembly. Cons: - feed supports are good, but the part that holds them could have a better design. - packaging. Wishlist: - wish it had cable management system for power cord and dust hoses. - wish it could go just a bit higher since I'm taller."
"If I had to do it over again I would spend the extra $100 for the Bostitch due to the ease in getting saw from transport (upright) to normal operating (horizontal) position."
"The only drawback other than for its substantial weight is that the rubber cups on the non-wheel end are a bit cheap and get quickly damaged when you slide the collapsed rig up on the back of pick up truck using them as the slide point."
"The supports on this one have solid tubing instead of rollers with bearings."

Reviews

I was able to push on the blade to get it aligned enough to change blades, but the ease with which I could move the shaft away from the release mechanism tells me that something is wore out or the steel used for the shaft isn't resistant to bending."
"When on the drill base, this attachment puts your hands as if holding a japanese sword."
"I used it to cut an old rotting patio table apart and would recommend to anyone who needs a light-medium duty reciprocating saw and already has the bolt-on or matrix system."
"I went from a Dewalt man to a Black-n-decker man even though there made buy the same company."
"I own the 20v cordless Matrix and the corded version."
"If you hit the power button on the matrix drill it starts reciprocating."
"This worked amazingly well, of all the Matrix accessories I think this one acts the most like the real thing."
"This one is indispensable."
Best Power Saw Fences
It was specially designed to use the existing bolt holes (no drilling required) of Delta Unisaws and Contractors Saws, Powermatic Model 66 and most Sears 10 in. Rip Capacity Right:40,Rip Capacity Left:10,Fence Bar Length:42 inch,Front Rail Diameter:2 inch.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"The photos show a finger saver on the fence that did not arrive. Instructions say you may have to remove tape and reapply to align with saw blade but I mounted the fence to lock mechanism snugly and aligned fence and moved the bottom mounting bolts of the rail to another hole and carefully moved the rail until it was on zero position from blade but not quite touching the blade and then tightened everything. The fence is Aluminum so If you are setting for a thin cut, I strongly recommend turning the saw off before setting the fence position."
"It is a very nice fence for the money and will work great on my unisaw."
"The sliding/cam mechanism attaches to the rip fence with 4 bolts during installation which bring the fence out of parallelism when tightened (even when clamping both ends prior to tightening), so it takes a few tries to fine tune to your comfort level."
"The Vega Pro 40 fence costs a little more than half of what I spent for my table saw but it was well worth the price to me. I highly suggest you search for them, because the installation instructions are definitely lacking: poorly drawn, parts list does not indicate the size of the various nuts or bolts, and they refer to a "Finger Saver" hold-down that I think has been discontinued for some time."
"WOW , I have had a Hitachi 110/220 volt , belt driven table saw for over 10 years , has always been a good quality saw with the exception of the fence system."

"works well,bolted right on."
"This took my scroll saw to the next level."
"Excellent product--I mounted it on my workbench between my band and scroll saws and can focus it on either piece of equipment when in use."
"I stopped by the local Woodcrafters store to see what I must have done wrong.....the light they have displayed on their saw is great, it holds itself where positioned, so there must be a good one out there....I'm very disappointed in the product and would love to return it to you for a third try."
"Instead of shipping the light back I opted to find a replacement bulb."
"I GOT THE FIRST LIGHT AND THE METAL THAT HOLDS THE LIGHT WOULD NOT HOLD THE LIGHT UP."
"); I like a lot of light around my projects, and even with every light in my shop on plus this little scroll saw light it is barely adequate."

The gripping rubber has an insane amount of traction, so much that if you ran full speed and dropped the grr-ripper while firmly holding on the handle, the grr-ripper would come to a dead hault launching you forward head first, not exaggerating--this thing friggin' grips, regardless of material. Anyone who works with power tools that has the potential to cause permanent handicap injury or death needs a few of these close-by, it's worth a try--though I doubt you'd return it."
"I know the price seems high but seeing how beneficial it is being able to hold down a piece for a thin cut (watching too many videos lately) I opted to invest in one and glad I did! It's thick, built really well and the screws have metal inserts and worthy of being called made in the USA (as some products are made in USA that are just garbage...)."
"I bought this pushblock in hopes that I could rip 3/4" laminate stock to 8" long 3/4" squares."
"When he suffered a (not horribly serious, but painful nonetheless) hand injury, I decided he needed this."
"When it arrived, I was very impressed by the cleanliness of the packaging, and the assembly instructions were amazing."
"a well engineered and constructed safety solution."
"I got this so I could precisely cut small squares (under 1") out of flat stock on my Byrnes table saw for modelers."
"I watched the video and decided to give it a try on my router table, it is amazing how great this thing grips the material."
