This book was published in 1988. It could be classified as a text book. Photos while very informative will appear dated. Nice clear explanations for techniques and tool usage. Much of the book is given over to the production and use of jigs for the table saw. Some of these jigs are meant to be used for unusual projects and are somewhat crude in their appearance. This does not negate their usefulness though. With a bit of thought these jigs can be more modern and longer lasting in their utility. Many of the jigs have adjustments that are made using wood screws into wood, this could be modernized using t-nuts or threaded inserts. Other modernizations can be made easily. With these thoughts in mind I have found this book by Mr. De Cristoforo to be a very useful addition to my research library.

The Table Saw Book is an excellent book for experienced woodworkers as well as beginners. I was pleased that the author did not assume that the reader knew all of the buzz words and described the points clearly. It was written in a manner that was most interesting and a difficult book to put down. It would have been helpful if the pictures relating to the articles could have been kept more near; sometimes they did get separated pretty far. On the other hand, the pictures and diagrams were very large and clear which was a welcome feature. Clearly, it was impossible to have it both ways, and I think he made the better choice. I was also pleased that the author did not seem to favor one brand of table saw over another, but did point out the advantages and shortcomings of many. He even included tips on using the ShopSmith unit that so many of us small home shops have. The extensive information regarding saw blades and equipment care was most valuable as was the information regarding fine tuning table saws. The book contained many tips, clear and complete diagrams, many safety precautions and reminders, and a large number of home-made accessories that one could build for themselves. This value in itself was worth many times over the small cost of the book. I will be keeping this book and using it often for a reference.

I picked up this book along with the Mehler book (and also his book on Table saws, Bandsaws and routers with Warner and Bird as co-authors). Great guidance and advice. Easy to read. I feel everyone should read at least these books prior to using a table saw, they are cheap used. It's probably the most dangerous tool any common homeowner will use. A few easy things to remember will keep you safe though, they are not so 'common sense' though and to learn them the hard way would be a life changing event...

My experiences with this book are great. After reading it my skills with the table saw improved a great deal, specially because I was looking for accuracy tips. No jigs in the whole book are dimensioned but at least for me were enough information to solve almost all my problems making big pieces of furniture I strongly recommend this book if you want to learn table saw usage, jig making, and safety practices. Good Reading!!! , best practice!!!

The information in this book is very good. What keeps it from being really excellent choice is the lack of COLOR photos and the frustrating layout of the text. There are numerous references to the black-n-white photos (e.g. "Fig. 4-5", or "Fig. 6-8") that are rarely found on the same page that references them. This results in a constant search - as much as 4 pages ahead(!) - for the photo that the text is refering to. In some cases, there is no reason for not including the photo on the same page. It's a maddening back-n-forth scramble all over the book. Whomever put this book together was an ..., and did the author a disservice.

I'd give this five stars but it is some time since this book was published, and the illustrations/photographs (although extensive) are b&w and slightly fuzzy by totay's standards. I agree too with the reviewer who said that the photos were sometimes several pages away from the relevant text, but I think that is manageable, and caused by the fact that there are a lot of photos, and sometimes one paragraph of text describes several pages of photos. The text would be a sentence per page if it was more closely linked. The content is superb. I learned a lot and it was all explained clearly.The book is well written by someone who knows how to explain things. I recommend it highly.

I can't put this book down. I also bought "The Table Saw Book : Completely Revised and Updated" by Kelly Mehler. Mehler's book is visually appealing but this book is "Meat and Potatoes" and gives the novice a firm foundation to effective table saw use.
