This is the one jig that i am going to make! I like that it removes the danger of cutting one's fingers when making the cut since the blade is facing down and has the blade cover, very good design indeed! Israel Perez viewing and learning from Guatemala, C.A✌👌.

I love this jig and plan to make one. One suggestion, make the saw guide longer than the base and allow it to extend past the end of the base. This way your saw will be fully supported until the center of the blade reaches the end of the base.

I think this is an excellent idea. If you do this, note that the jig shown is left-handed. Non-southpaws would want to reverse the plan and put the extended portion on the other side. Or just leave a few inches on either end for versatility.

Wow very nice. Definitely will try making one of these. Sure beats spending hundreds on table saw

That's amazing, I am going to use this weekend to make this. Apart from the angle cuts, I think this will work for almost all DIY projects I have in mind!

I watched this a few days ago.... and now I think I have ALL the materials and here goes!! I will comment on my new build when I try it out .... fingers crossed, as I am a beginner!!!

My man, i fist bought a small table saw but i dont even have an enclosed parkway so i have to take it from my back office all across the kitchen and living room to make just a couple cuts, and in the wayback i leave a trail of saw dust behind me.... i ended buying a cordless circular saw and your solucion its justs bangers, ill do this and wait patiently until i can build my shop elsewhwre and maybe in the future i can quit my job....who knows Thank you, cheers grom mexico

Thank you for this super simple and accesible jig! I made it 👍

I moved from my spacious home wood shop to a small shed-shop. Sold my big table-saws and now I need to adjust. I've been looking for a solution and figured I could always adapt my skill saw somehow. I'm 76 and need something easy to handle. After seeing your system I'm going to do the same thing. Years ago we did this on a job site for repetitive work. Thanks

This saw kzread.infoUgkx84IcU5pbZd1Qrz8u4-YRLmJax7kdRi7B comes in handy in many ways. When I had a small (dead) tree fall I started the process of disposal by using this saw and cutting off the small branches. Then slowly work on the small trunk with undercutting and letting it fall down. With many trees on acres of land paying for a tree service can be expensive. It also is nice in that it can be used in hard to get areas like along my creek. It's also safer and quieter than a chainsaw. It obviously can't cut down massive trees but it does work fine for small ones or brush. And of course since I already own a Black

one of the easy and neat diy saw guide i have watched. thank you

Good, well planned and executed video about a useful jig. Thanks.

Great jig! Thanks for sharing!!

I'm definitely building this one.

I saw this video a few days ago and I was thinking that it would be restrictive on how thick piece of wood you can put into it....but that is determined by the width of the blade, and I didn't think of that at the time. I have since made myself a similar version of this guide and it works really well. I am really glad I made it because it eliminates the majority of mistakes and keeps the cut the same all the way along. I only finished the guide this evening and it works really really well......well worth making one.

Thank you great simple idea.👍

This will definitely work. It seems like it would be very easy to cut through a 1/4 inch base, and screwing down to 1/4 ply you need the exact screw and would hardly get any strength. I like the straightforward video, no bs. I am going to make something like this.

How about doubling the height of the supports to 1.5 and lay in 3/4 foam. Make the track longer as others suggested. Make it +48 to handle a full sheet and use 3 sawhorses. It still doesn't have to be very wide. Portable and safe.

Very helpful! Kudos.

Love the idea - can't wait to make one!

Another good tip is to build a small rail on the other side of the saw to keep the saw in line even more

Nice jig. I built this a couple months ago-it’s interesting to see we had the same idea for replacing a table saw. I used an MDF base and routed some dovetail tracks to be used with the Microjig clamps to hold material and set angle cuts. Looking forward to seeing your other shop builds.

In Germany they had a similar one for sale made from a resin /plastics, I,ve used it so much more than my table saw as I am mobile restoration. 300 year old capedutch buildings.Great ,and thanks for sharing.

If the guide piece is stronger the plank would bow less thereby keeping the cut depth constant. Therefore you can turn it on its side and attach it to the edge of the plank or alternatively use those aluminium straight pieces which I think is used in plastering walls???? for the edge piece - they are quite wide, think about 3 inches. Also cutting along the whole length removes the small width piece off the guide plank. Thereby exposing the cutting edge. One then considers the edge of the plank to be the cutting line, that is to the right of the blade.

Smart.

la classe à Dallas !

Looks good and fairly simple to make. Dust extraction would be nice, but not practical using most normal circular says. Cheers from Australia.

I did a similar jig with a long track, and one problem I had was that the track sagged. I should have used a thicker base for the track. But I was worried about not having cut depth on my Ryobi 5.5” saw. I also wanted the track to have room for 1” of wood, since I usually cut 3/4” stock, and I wanted room to slide the wood. But maybe 3/4” would have been better; then the track wouldn’t sag. I may have to try this again.

Great idea!!! I don't have room for a tables.

The jig is awesome and is superior to most average tablesaw cross cutting systems however the stopblock design is a bit dangerous as the wood can bind between the stop block and the blade. Safety aside, it also results in a slightly poorer cut quality. A safer option is to design a stopblock that can flip up out of the way once you have aligned the workpiece

@lesblack413

7 ай бұрын

I thought the same about the stop block.

@oneeyedphotographer

5 ай бұрын

On a tablesaw, the workpiece moves relative to the stopblock, and that can give rise to this kind of problem. Here, only the saw is moving and the stopblock is stationary relative to the workpiece. I don't see your problem.

@user-bt5qt9pp4x

5 ай бұрын

@@oneeyedphotographerI only mention it from my experience as I made this type of jig years ago for my tracksaw. Mostly it was fine but one time I made a cut and was waiting for the blade to come to a stop and it pinched. There was a bang, saw jerked and the workpiece between the blade and the stopblock had a chewed up corner. I always assumed it was the stop blocks fault so I replaced it with a stiff old door hinge that folds up before every cut and it has not happened since.

doesn't really allow for different thickness of materials. Or is there something I am missing?

The stop block for repeatable cuts: I think I’d want to attach my track at one end of my platform so that I had 28” off to the side where the stop block goes.

This seems simple and easy. I dont have a table saw myself, so this jig would come in handy. However, all the technical cuts need to have flat and straight edges. How did you get all the necessary pieces needed for this jig? Did you purchase them this way, or did you use a table saw and other tools to make them? Because if you had to make them, it kind of defeats the purpose if you had access to a tavle saw to make pieces for a jig that is used as a table saw replacement.

I started with something like that and its very useful. And you can lean it against the wall when you are done. By the way, your bottom is just 1/4". Shouldnt you be screwing from the bottom?

@DaughtersWoodCo

Hi, I have question; where can you buy the 90 degrees hooks?

These USA wood sticks look more dimensionally accurate than machined steel bars down here in Brazil

2 bar clamps and a 1/4” thin metal straight edge works for me😅

Get rid of the table saw and buy a wall saw for cutting panels. They’re accurate, extremely safe and they can go up against the wall to save space. You can even rip lumber on them. Oh, and then you don’t need to waste time making a jig

Сильно много болтает и размахивает руками😂😂😂

I'm not sure that your approach works. I've got a PHD in physics and MY solution is like this: I've tied the saw to a wire coming from a hook in the ceiling. The saw is now like a pendulum. I have a realtime computer program that turns the saw on just microseconds before it swings over the table where I need the cut. There is a small motor that keeps the momentum up and makes sure the pendulum swings in all desired directions. I've used a matrix consisting of a set of partial differential equations of 3'rd degree to calculate when the saw needs to be turned on and off in order to make the cuts. Doing it this way eliminates the need of a table and my solution can be installed everywhere. It has worked flawlessly in a simulation in the quantum computer at the university where I work, and you may soon find this system for sale in a shop near you.
