What a great idea, possibly the best build for a circular saw track - adding the second holding track is so simple but effective… 👏🏻 Definitely worth a sub, thank you… ✅

Hi, I'm glad you liked the track saw guide. Thanks for subscribing to my channel!

Absolutely spot-on was thinking about buying a metal one. Makita track saw blade for my battery operated. Makita circular saw but like you say I only use it once in awhile so I’m gonna have a go at making this myself. Thank you very much for all the info is brilliant, good video

It's really easy to make, and not only does the track saw guide ensure you cut straight, it also prevents any tear out of the material you are cutting. Thanks for your comment 👍

Another brilliant video, i need to build one of these track saw guides!

They are really good if you struggle to cut a straight line like me!

That is a brilliant idea, i think i will have a go at making one of these!

I was annoyed of not making perfect cuts every time! Thanks for your comment 👍

I suggest placing two playing cards between your saw table and the guide lumber. That will give you enough room to allow your saw to move without binding.

I love the holes to see the wood below while you're cutting

As someone has said, it might have been better with four holes instead of three, but it works for me!

A nice solution. I think that I might have used a slightly smaller hole saw or forstner bit (but it depends what you've got to hand) and also put holes at the 1/4 points so that you can get two holes on the the line on shorter cuts like taking a bit off the bottom of a door.

I was considering using a 20mm holesaw, but I thought it was too small. However, I think it would have been fine. Thanks for your comment 👍

Hi great video… as always. I’ve been thinking of putting one of these together for a while now, very handy! Could I ask a quick question. I noticed the Makita chop saw in your video.. what size is it? I’m a keen competent DIYer and I’m looking to invest I a new saw for making gates ect.. I can’t seem to decided between the 12” or 10”. Keep the great content coming, I’ve learnt loads!! 👍🏾

The makita saw is a 12-inch that takes 2x 18v batteries, and it's an amazing bit of kit. I got it on offer from powertool World for about £600 with a free battery.

Any chance of doing a video on drainage? We got a problem with ours which is bringing in Ingress water. We know the fix which is to replace the old clay drain but would be good to get someone to explain how it works. Feel free to video it if your in the Wolverhampton area!

@@FixitwithFowler I’m thinking of making one that I can be extended to manage 8ft boards ie 2 x4ft guides rather than one long guide , maybe a removable stop end on the first guide etc so the second one can be added , just need to think about an accurate way to attach that allows a seamless cut !
