Love all of the quick tips that you're putting out lately. So many are extremely useful no matter where you are in your woodworking journey. - Chris
Good tips. You can also double your cut width by:
Cutting as wide as the saw will accommodate.
Flip the material.
Lower the blade into the curf without making contact.
Cut the other side.
@MagiusUSA Absolutely! As long as the material your cutting is perfectly straight and has parallel edges. Otherwise you will have a crooked cut and possibly binding. And as long as you’re careful when flipping to not break the board where the small amount of leftover material is. Especially difficult the longer and heavier the material gets.
@@InspireWoodcraft Yeah, all that is true. Fortunately most sheet material and dimensional lumber is straight enough to flip without issues.
It should also be mentioned that binding can be minimized with partial thickness cuts. If it's a major concern a kerf wide relief cut can be done on the cut-off side.
No doubt you know all that. Just info for those reading comment that may not.
I appreciate that your videos are direct and to the point, and very informative.
I've been doing this for years. Thank you for the refresher.🙂🙂
This is effective, and is what operators of radial arm saws have done 'since when'.
Fascinating!! Thanks for the tip!
Nice tips and straight to the point
Good tip. I don't have a sliding saw, but I did get a 12" saw vs. a 10" and I can cut 99% of everything I need.
@csimet That's exactly why I upgraded years ago too!
Jodee, you're rocking, man. More great tips.... love how your mind works and you simplify things for all of us. Thanks!!
Another good video. Helpful information in a concise and understandable presentation.
Tip number 3: flip the board over to cut the other half. Bonus: this is a good way to check if your 90 degrees is really 90 degrees.
On a much wider board. Try to flip the board like he has and you will break off the end piece.
Great ,Thank You for this Tip.👍
I continue to be amazed at the instructional ideas this man passes on. I have learned so much from him.
Very helpful, Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the tip, dude! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
More great information. Thanks!
Another great tip~!! Keep 'em coming (please)~!! Thanks much.
Thanks those are useful. How about doing a video on your dust collection on your miter saw? That would be very helpful to me. Thanks Carl a 79 year old novice wood worker.
@Carl Flemming I just released a video covering this, if you're interested! czcams.com/video/7HID6YleVsg/video.html
Thanks!
Good tips
I have used both of these tactics in the past 👍🏼👍🏼. Thanks for sharing them. The one interesting optimization is if you have two different pieces of stock on narrower you can cut both at once. Putting the narrow piece on the bottom serving as the lift. Clearly, it is important to be careful; especially if the narrow stock is < 1/2 as wide as the wider stock.
Nice little chopper
For boards that are just a smidge short I have a wedge that I use to lift the board. It works every time and I don't have to roll the board up.
I like your wedge idea thanks for sharing!
thanks
This is a much needed tip. I want to get a slider, but just not ready spend the money on one when my current miter saw works just fine. Thanks.
@Joe Pearson I'm in the same boat!
Another great tip, thank you so much. I will be using the board under for sure. Still refuse to read the owners manual. Lol.
Hey do you use the XPS feature on that saw? Do you like it?
Ooo, I sure don't like the rolling technique. The under-prop is a cool gimmick. I've just clamped a stop block to the off-cut side of the blade then flipped the workpiece over to finish the remaining cut line.
@Burntsider Out of curiosity, why don't you like the rolling technique? The stop block idea can work well too as long as the material is straight and has parallel edges. Otherwise it will leave a horrible cut.
A comment for the Algorithm. ALL HAIL THE ALGORITHM!
To make accurate cuts, miters and I guess higher end furniture, I’m assuming that’s not happening or will be frustrating with “jobsite” tools? I have all dewalt tools, my dewalt miter saw is the biggest one with the shadow instead of the laser and I swear no matter how times I’ve calibrated it, my cuts are always off, not by a lot but enough to make me mad. Should I upgrade to a more “workshop” type tools?
@J I made a video a few years back on getting more precise cuts, especially with the miter saw. It's slower, longer and more boring 😂, but a lot of folks have found it beneficial, if you want to take a look: czcams.com/video/3VDtFH5hwsU/video.html. At any rate, miter saws are construction/framing tools at best. If they're set up right, they can definitely be used for precision though. My opinion though is don't rely on lasers or shadow lines. They are meant to be a reference for the cuts they are intended to make: construction and framing, not precision. Instead, always line up your marks with the teeth of the blade itself.
Dam. I JUST taught myself this yesterday.🤦
One of those simple things I never thought of. Duh😊
What's the dust collection hose you have on your miter saw?
@Eric Crosby I just released a video covering this, if you're interested! czcams.com/video/7HID6YleVsg/video.html
That's sweet!
I'll try to not be offended that not knowing these makes me a beginner........
😅😂😅😂
@David Yeo Ha! I had to put that in there to try and avoid all the Master Woodworker keyboard warriors. "Everyone knows this", blah, blah, blah. 😂
@InspireWoodcraft
I totally get it!!
I claim to have average abilities, but I'm always learning from your instruction.
How about a tutorial about halflaps on the miter saw since some of the same principles apply.
@Skiggly Stars I wish I could. I need to get a sliding saw just to make tutorials with it!
@@InspireWoodcraft Oh you know you want one anyway. This is the perfect excuse for NEW TOOLS
That first tip is terrifying… I don’t care who says it’s safe if you’re careful. I’m not doing that lol. the second one seems good though.
MDF is tough on blades and the dust it creates is tough on your nose and lungs
@Albert The Second Yep. That's what dust masks and dust collection is for. MDF is an invaluable medium in most woodworking shops.
Then, there’s the antique-ish radical arm saw.
You forgot to mention the most common method: cut, then flip.
@steelsunpi True! Not my favorite though, personally. Just because I've had wood bind in the saw before after flipping it. But definitely an option!
