Interesting Korean sliding table saw

[Jonathan Jung]

Haven't seen one like this before. Look at the size of the slider.

I saw a similar old iron machine in a shop in Bellingham. Huge heavy slider with a short stroke, made for cutting timbers apparently. I'm not sure how useful one would be in the typical custom shop.

[Jim Becker]

Interesting format but indeed it's likely nice for heavy things given how stout the sliding table portion is.

[Mark Gibney]

Any idea of the blade size?

[Richard Coers]

That would be a nightmare to set up on a concrete floor. So much time to level that thing and not put a twist in it!

[Bob Borzelleri]

Probably need to set it up and then pour a concrete floor around it.Good excuse for building a new shop.

[Steve Rozmiarek]

Looks pretty easy to level to me, just screw adjuster feet that you can actually get to. Comparing that to my Felder that I just did the periodic dial in on, much easier. The table looks heavy so you'll notice the effort needs to overcome inertia for sure.

Here is one I find interesting, great YT projects as well. Certainly a different approach than most of us are used to seeing.

What a fantastic machine - pantographic router, sliding table saw, and sliding head saw on the same highly versatile framework and workholding area. I love their use of it to make korean/japanese style joinery, in particular.

I've watched several of the YT videos, and I find it fascinating to see how others approach common woodworking tasks.
To me, it makes me think how to look at the cutting and shaping of the various part differently. Sometimes it's hard to visualize how to hold and cut a complex joinery component, watching the methods used on this machine help see things in ways I might not have considered.

I love watching Ishitani on YT. Half of those tools seem utterly terrifying, but I assume its just because they are different. But the table saw attachment he uses for tenons, that thing CANNOT be OSHA approved.

This terrifying thing:

If you don't like the tenon cutter, then don't watch this guy use his overhead router
He has lots of good videos, different approaches than many normally see

Yeah; for some reason the pin router doesn't terrify me quite as much. Though I guess it should!
