Thank you for this video. You demystified it for me. I used a blade angle of 35° on a 2 X 4. Based on your 3/8" starting point for the wood you used, I set my fence to 1" for the 2 X 4 and, using trial and error after watching you, determined that the correct blade depth is 0.96". That 1" fence setting gave me pretty much the centre of the 2 X 4.

Thanks for this comment David, hopefully you saved me some guesswork when I try making this tomorrow

Worked great thanks!

Good vid on how to make the indispensable "V block" Your wooden V block is something every woodworker should have.

I need to make some!

Great tip

George, If you return the blade to 90 degrees and cut a slot about 3/16 deep down the center of the "V" it would work better with a square.

You are correct sir. I have steel V blocks and they all have a groove down the center of the block where the 45' s meet. It provides clearance for the corner of a sharp 90 degree angle when it lays in the V block.

Good vignette. Yes the V block is useful enough to keep about but isn't it easier to fabricate? That was my first impulse. Don't forget that the blade guard must first be removed to make these cuts, so you have to factor that in. The fabricated V block can be made with a band saw and wood scraps

Simple trick. Thanks. Will lose some dimension due to the kerf but even that could be avoided.

For me the mystery is how do you set up the saw so that the two 45's meets in the center of the block? That would have been a very useful aspect of this to show.

You can get there pretty quickly using the trial and error approach that George demonstrated. If you would prefer you could use a quick square to draw some layout lines that you could follow. Paul

@@Wwgoa After several KZreads I decided to use 35° not 45° because it grips dowels better. I used a blade angle of 35° on a 2 X 4.

Good video. I learned from it. What I am still having trouble with is centering the "V" exactly where I want it. Any suggestions out there?

Hi, Dan. I mainly get there via trial and error, and "sneak up on it" as George demonstrated in the video. If you want to model out the specifics without trial and error on the table saw, you could use a modeling program such as SketchUp to calculate the blade positions before you begin cutting.

Woodglut is full of amazing tips. It helped me a lot.

How would this be done but with a way thinner groove? For example ¬ thin as a sheet or two of paper so it just fits

Hello Ivan, You could try making the cuts with a Japanese pull saw which has a very thin kerf. Hope this helps, PaulWoodWorkers Guild of America Video Membership

Thank you for the response and suggestion (would not have found the name for this saw alone)! I have also found - Adjustable Thin Kerf Grooving Cutter 1.5 - 6mm, which is more ideal for my case because of precision.

where did you get that yellow safety pusher thing?

Need help! I just made this jig, and was using it with my miter saw when I got nasty kickback! I was using a stop block for repeated cuts, which might have caused everything to bind, but im not sure now how to get my cuts all the same size without the kickback. Please if anyone can help, I am very confused.

@Wwgoa

Hello. My guess is that you were pinching the off-cut piece between the blade and the stop block, and there was nothing in place to hold the off-cut. I would suggest rigging up a temporary stop block onto the jig itself and letting the off-cut piece fall safely to the side of the blade without being pinched on the other side. Thanks Paul-Woodworkers Guild of America

@@Wwgoa Wow, I wasn't expecting a reply from the legend himself! You are right, the off-cut piece did get pinched which caused the kick back. I appreciate your suggestion, I'm just having a hard time understanding. If the stop block was attached to the v-block itself, how would this cause the piece to fall safely on the other side without binding? I understand that now there would be a platform, but wouldn't it still get stuck between the blade and the on-board stop block? Thank you! Edit: Also, I just wanted to ask, is it normal to have to put a good amount of pressure on the dowel to keep it in the v-block during a cut? It feels like its wanting to move upwards when im cutting it, and I had to use a lot of pressure to keep it held down. Again, I really appreciate your advice.

Was that a foot switch on that table saw?

It’s a foot switch for the dust collector. It doesn’t turn on the table saw. That would be extremely dangerous.

Hello, This works best on a table saw. If you don't have one I'd suggest asking a friend if you can use theirs. Without a table saw I guess you could do this with a hand saw by drawing a 45 degree line and cutting to it from each direction. Thanks, Paul WoodWorkers Guild of America Video Membership

Just go to WoodPrix plans if you want to know how to do it yourself.

Woodglut instructions is nice for that.
