    I love that you prove that it is the craftsman and not the tools that make the job. You know how to do stuff and don't need $2,000.00 miter saws or fancy clamps to get it done. Rock on...

    Bought this for my friend for his birthday, and he loves it. Father-in-law was a little jealous, even. :) Built solid, but light enough to move around for projects. Easy to use czcams.com/users/postUgkxPeGkHOMe05FySypTOvYumxMn-xi39oRe and makes great precision cuts. Doesn't come with a laser mount, but the fence is straight as an arrow and if you measure carefully, it's not a problem. Can handle dimensional lumber with ease, but of course, there's a limit to how thick. Handled a 4x4" post without a problem, but 4x6" we had to flip and cut twice. Only thing we've noticed is make sure to tighten the nut that holds the saw blade when you take it out of the box and maybe check up on it occasionally. For some, this is probably a no-brainer, but we neglected to do this and a few months in, found the motor running but the blade spinning at about half speed or less. Tightened the nut, and problem was solved. Very happy with this purchase. Dewalt makes sturdy stuff.

    I am so grateful for your video my friend! I am doing crown molding so I got in a little pickle because I needed to do a 77.5 degree cut but I couldn’t cause my miter wouldn’t go that far. It stopped at 60 degrees. So then I did what you showed me and it worked. It was a hundred percent perfect fit. I wasn’t able to find any information on a crown molding cut but I watched this video and worked backwards, and I was able to figure it out. I am truly grateful that you put this video on CZcams and I’m so lucky I was able to come across this video and figure it out. Crown molding is very tricky but I was able to figure it all out thanks to this tiny information you shared with us. Thank you, sir! I smashed the like button and subbed.

    I worked in a hot metal shop on the farm for a long time. We then put up bat insulation on the ceiling with chicken wire stapled up to the ceiling joists to keep it from sagging. Then added batting to the walls with thin chip board on top. I painted the walls all white for brightness. This made a world of difference in the comfort both summer and winter. I added radiant heat for the winter but get by without AC in the summer. The batting also has a sound reducing quality. A well insulated ceiling is the most important.

    • @TheCrawlspaceCraftsman
      @TheCrawlspaceCraftsman  Před 5 měsíci

    You cut a 35 degree angle. Cut another one the same way and you get another 35 degree angle. Together they make a 70 degree angle, which is an acute angle, and that is what that jig is designed to do. You can cut a single(non-mitered) 70 degree angle simply by setting the miter saw at 20. No jig required.

  • @Dm-dk9zp

    Thank you! I am just a hobby carpenter that builds catios. I spent all day trying to figure out angles to cut a simple pediment for over a catio door. I even tried to cut it by hand. I did lots of sample cuts and a lot of re-do's.I almost gave up but thought I would check out youtube for a solution. Your video was super helpful! I remeasured three more 2 x 4's. The bottom one has two 60 degree angles. Here in Colorado I came under a time crunch at the end with a bad thunderstorm on its way. I got all three pieces cut perfect in about 15 minutes. Thankful for a new way to cut these angles!

  • @richardslater677
    @richardslater677 Před rokem +4

    From my experience, holding a piece of wood with your weaker left hand at such an acute angle is asking for trouble. Just a slight movement of the piece and it could get snagged in the blade a kick back. I’ve done it myself. It’s a great idea but if I were doing it, I’d make sure I had some way of clamping the work piece solidly in place so it couldn’t move during the cut.

    • @TheCrawlspaceCraftsman
      @TheCrawlspaceCraftsman  Před rokem +1

      Definitely have to be aware of what’s going on anytime you’re using a saw for sure! Anytime a clamp is available…. I agree…. Use it! Thanks for watching!

    • @gregdonohoe3986

      So true. I really f'ed up my thumb from a kick back doing EXACTLY this about 12 years ago. Ever since, I was extremely careful about clamping stuff down and having a tall enough jig for my cut. It only takes once to lose all your fingers or thumb.
