Excellent book |
| This is a very well written and laid out book. The information is relevant, concise, and most of all, helpful. The author writes in a way that makes it easy to follow along and the photos and drawings help even more when specific things are discussed. I was able to read this book in a few hours because not only is it written well, but I was learning so much I just continued to read until I flipped the last page. This book should be owned (not just read because if you own it you can refer back to it at any time) by every novice woodworker and perhaps even anyone else who works with woodworking machines. Highly recommended! |

Got a Table Saw? This should be the Manual. |
My Table Saw was new in 1948 when my Grandfather bought it. I grew up around it and you would think I knew my Saw, right?
After reading The Table Saw Book, I have done many Tunings and Upgrades, I have Made many Jigs, I Have much more safely enjoyed many hours with my Saw and gotten the best results ever, thanks to this book. My 47 year old Table Saw has features that many modern Saws sold today still don't have, thanks to this book. And at the price of Lumber today, can you afford not to have the best running Table Saw you can get? '
The best Running Table Saw may be the Saw you already own. The only thing it lacks is what you will learn from and do after you read this book. Keep it handy in the Shop |

Excellent--when combined with De Christoforo's Book |
Excellent book for everything from purchasing, using, and maintaining your saw--including extensive references to safety.
Color photographs are clear, sharp, and very detailed, and Mehler's writing is sure and firm without being overly preachy The references to European saws do get tiresome (as one other reviewer has noted), especially since the majority of the photos in the book are of US-made equipment. Not many Saturday wood butchers or even serious amateurs can afford two thousand dollars and up for European saws.
While 20 years older and only using B&W photos, R.J. De Christoforo's book by the same name is still fairly current and has far more detail for the serious woodworker. The section on saw blades alone is more than 20 pages and contains valuable information that is missing from Mehler's book.
Buy both. You'll be glad you did. |
