Tablesaw book

[Boatfixer]

Just waiting for delivery of a second hand TS200. I have seen the threads on fettling over the years on here but what I want is a book with guides to setting up and using that will be better than a manufacturers manual. I haven't had my own saw for 20 years and never had one with a sliding table so what I really need is tablesaws for dummies. Anyone got any ideas?

I hope Steve Maskery will hurry up with his new DVD because it sounds just what I need :wink:

Bump - anyone got any ideas?

I found "The Accurate Table Saw" by Ian Kirby a good book - mainly aimed at the US market, but still very useful.

Cheers

I've got Kelly Mehler's 'the table saw book' which i quite like. It's very comprehensive and does have a nice tune up and maintainance chapter.

Thanks folks - I have had an Amazon moment and ordered both of those.... Can't wait to get my hands on the saw now! A friend who lives close to the seller picked it up for me and it is in his garage - I won't be seeing him until next week. It is frustrating to know you have a new tool waiting for you but you can't get your hands on it.....

+1 for Ian Kirby - very clear explanations.

If you google "woodsmith magazine" or find them on iTunes, they put out loads of video podcasts. At least 5 or 6 of them are for table saws, they are about 45 minutes in length and are very interesting and informative.

definately worth a quick look...
