Super informative, easy to understand and best of all, STRAIGHT to the POINT! A lot of us have 40+ hr/wk jobs and do home projects on evenings & weekends, which means very little spare time, so discovering a KZreadr who is able to cover several critical points quickly and eloquently is an incredible gift! Thank you!

Thank you so much for the praise. I'm just happy it could help you.

Fantastic. As someone who’s about to buy their first mitre saw, this is gold. You may have saved me from hurting myself, you’ve definitely saved me from making scrap wood. Also, style of video is fantastic, straight to the point, no messing

Awesome! Thank you!

The Rabbet cut is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

Out standing #THANK FOR THESE TIPS

Thank you. There’s a lot to unpack there! At 63, I think my hand-sawing days are over.

Didn't even think about the dado cut using a miter saw, great tips I thank you sir.

Excellent! Great tip at 4:30 relief cut on stop block so saw dust does not affect the cut accuracy. 7:30 great tip on shaving so can sneak up on the perfect cut.

New subscriber here. Just bought my first mitre saw for jobs around the house (age 62). These tips were very helpful and I’ll feel more confident making my first cut today with my new machine.

Just bought my first miter saw - thanks for the video. That was informative and straight to the point. You may have even saved me a finger or two! 😂

He's even calling it by the right name. Miter saw. I read posts where people talk about their "Chop Saw" and it really bugs me. I live in WA state and I don't recall the word "Chop Saw" ever being used in woodworking at all, by anyone, until the last 10 years or so where the internet seemed to make the word synonymous with miter saws.

I really like these little tutorials for beginners.

Good tops. Nice movable table too

thank you! I'm new to the hobby and got my first miter saw. I respect the awesome power, but haven't been around power tools like this before. So i'm a little nervous. But i figure as long as i keep my fingers away from the blade, should be good.

Great stuff. About to make 100 parquet fingers and the ‘stop block’ is going to save me lots of time! Thank you 🙏

I bought my first miter saw today. I have been wanting one for so long. Thank you for all the helpful tips!

Same here, two years later (2023). I've used them plenty of times for very simple straight cuts. Just never owned one or set one up. I'm grateful for all of the safety and practical tips I was aware of.

May I ask guys is this only for short side cuts? Or you also can cut long pieces in long cuts pushing wood in blade cut in middle line of one meter cut. thanks.

Thank you very much for all the tips. I work with table saws but a mitre saw is new to me and these tips help a lot.

I learned a lot, and I’ve been using one for years

Great tips . Beginner here in UK. I'm looking to purchase a sliding mitre and these tips will certainly help me - Thanks

Nice video, I like that dowel trick!

Wagner makes a portable pro up "tent" foot small painting projects. It has a back panel that hold a 20x20 hvac filter inside and a box fan outside. With a little ingenuity it firms a nice hood for a miter saw. Use a small vac for the dust port in the saw. The combo massively reduces the dust going all over. The tent for up into a small bag like a auto windshield sunscreen.

Thanks for the great video and great tips...and no MUSIC!

Excellent video for beginners. THANK YOU!

I just found your KZread channel. Thank you for a great video. I just received a new miter saw, so your videos are very useful. One tip to add to your Safety pointers -- Seriously consider wearing a high-quality dust mask while sawing, as breathing the very fine wood dust in the air can be very bad for your lungs, especially if you do a lot of saw work. Years of using your saw without wearing a dust mask can add up to extremely serious permanent health issues.

Thank you! I'm subscribing 👍 it's been a while since I had a workshop and I need to get a lot of projects done while we finish building our home ...it's great to be reminded of all the safety tips plus so much more

I've seen a lot of these videos . They seem to have one thing in common, the saw is stationed too high up. You never want the bed of the saw to be higher than your bellybutton. Reason is, your looking over the work piece instead of at it. This gives your face the most protection from anything flying out of that saw. Also, you have better wrist control on the work piece, being able to push the piece down onto the bed, instead of holding against the back stops with just your fingertips. This is just safety talk, stuff I've learned the hard way over 30 years,

That’s the right positioning for actual use, but it’s not as useful for videos - where usually you want to see the tool and the face very clearly.

Most in depth tips on this awesome tool. Thank you so much!

Until you put your miter saw on a cart, while still manually moving it around, definitely resist the urge to lift and carry it using the trigger handle. That's a sure way to put the blade and/or bevels out of alignment. Instead, pick up the saw by the base or the extension wings. Most miter saws have low-tech metal extension wings intended to support work pieces. They're usually just metal brackets that insert into holes in the side of the base. Since they're not precision attachments, it's okay to pressure them one way or the other.

Everything I could possibly say has already been stated. I'm a total new-be, and your instructions, and delivery, are A+ across the board. Thank you for teaching me! New subscriber now btw

Excellent video, thank you!

Instead of using the pencil & eraser use a 12" or longer 1 by board to lay on the one edge and flat on the table. You will be able to hold it firmer and safer in-place and your hand will not be so close to the blade if for some reason the pencil or the project piece should move. Enjoyed the tips! Thank You and keep up the good work with these informative videos. Sometimes it is good for the seasoned woodworker as well as the new ones to go over and be reminded of safety procedures. Blessings my friend!

Great information and very detailed video

Often when working with small pieces of wood I find that using masking tape to lengthen the piece is a quick and safe way to cut even the tiniest parts. The tape will also protect the wood from splitting,

Thanks for the tips!

Thanks a lot for your suggestions

Nice job. Glad to see you put in the eye protection at the end. Would like to see it at the beginning.

Lots of good info. Thanks!!

Thank you so much for all the explanations

Thankyou VM . Great tutorial !

Very good. First class YouTubing. Thank you.

Thanks a lot for these tips ❤

Thanks for some tips . From Liverpool UK

This was so helpful. Thank you!

This is a great refresher on how to do things safely as well.

Man am I glad I saw this (and rewound it frequently during the video). Just bought one of these and only watched a couple of reviews and went to work! Fortunately, the small piece of wood that I was trying to cut, while pushing it with a slightly longer piece, missed me as it was propelled from the saw (and slightly damaged the plastic at the slot)! Something told me to watch a few more videos today before moving on to the next project, and as stated before, I’m glad I came across this one! Thanks for sharing!

Best video on miter saw for beginners... great performance.. job well done

So helpful thank you!! Made my island countertop and I'm adding the Ideal Edge which will need to be mitered. KZreadrs like yourself have made this project 100% successful and saved me a ton of money :)

Good tips, I would add to 4 that the arm should be fully out when starting the blade and run the blade up to full speed before moving forward.....Thanks

Excellent imfo.thank you my friend.

Great tips!! You were enjoyable to watch and hear. I liked your bloopers, too!!

Amazing video. Very informative.

I'm SO glad you mentioned the word "Chop Saw" not being the right term for a wood cutting miter saw. I personally never heard anyone in my woodshop class, or any teachers call the miter saw a "Chop Saw." And in the 1990's and 2000's, a "Chop Saw" always referred to an abrasive cut off saw for metal with a 14" metal cutting blade. It wasn't until some years ago, it seemed like the word "Chop Saw" suddenly started being used to describe miter saws. To this day it bothers me, because there has to be some way to describe a metal cutting "Chop Saw" and a wood cutting "Miter Saw." And calling them both "Chop Saws" is very confusing.

This was great - very straightforward and useful information. Thank you!

A lot of great easy to understand information, thank you!

Tip #17 was exactly what I was looking for help with, great idea! Excellent video for a new miter saw owner! Thanks so much!

Thanks much! this was super super helpful - especially the zero fence & rabbit cuts!

Immediately subscribed after watching this video! Great tips and well presented. Just borrowed my creative neighbor's miter saw to redo my deck with composite boards. So glad I watched this video first!

Thank you never owned one. Just bought one and your upload was the first and most helpful. Thank you have a nice day from Chris in England, UK.

Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video. My wife just got me a 7 1/4 Kobalt single bevel miter saw for Christmas, and I'm not much of a wood worker. Just something for small projects around the house.

Just got my first miter saw! Excellent tricks and pro tips in this vid. Thank you!

Thank you for so many tips! Recently bought a compound sliding miter saw. A friend who is comfortable using a miter saw came over to get me started on ceiling, floor, and door trim work last week. More to come and your extra tips are appreciated.

Really good video! Thanks for all the tips!

very informative and simple to follow

The tip to cutting the dowel in the "V groove"... Instead of it hanging down off the end where you could get tear out.. You can have your cut fully supported and just have that jig as sacrificial on the end, just getting a little shorter with each cut.

Hi. Just a "Newbie" here but, is it a bad idea to use the dowel jig to cut just below the piece instead of all the way through? For instance if the "Jig" is 4" high and the dowel is only 2" in diameter. Or, would that cause instability in the jig ("Kerf" binding or "Kick back") due to less supporting wood?

Why not have a cut already made in the dowel holder - say, an inch in from the end (or even in the middle to support longer lengths), and align the cut line over the gap?
