  • For absolutely accurate inside dimensions, stop measuring altogether and use this technique instead. This will also work with a miter saw, but I don't have that kind of setup on my miter saw, so I couldn't show you in this video.

    For those that might be wondering, this type of system would work well at a miter saw station also, I just don't have the right setup at my miter saw to show you.

    • @bworks1968
      @bworks1968 Před 3 lety +3

      It does for sure. We use this method at the miter saw station all the time to cut our face frames for cabinets. We set the saw once to overall width of frame and
      use actual drop pieces of the stiles and the rails to space in between. Works great. Thanks for sharing

      Heh glad you said that because as you were setting up the table saw I was thinking how could I do this on my Kreg ACS and then it hit me... just do the same thing with a stop set to 6" and the two spacers at the miter saw! Good stuff.

  • @bfb3086
    @bfb3086 Před 3 lety +15

    For those of us that do not have a perfectly zeroed table saw,: Get two blocks that are each a little smaller than the inner width of the box, hold them together so they span the inner distance, clamp them together, then use it as a spacer between the fence and the saw blade.

    This is the way I do when building my stuff. I would add that you can use the box itself to set the fence from the blade. That way even if your fence scale is not calibrated precisely, it will still work. Thanks for your usual to-the-point video.

    If the most accurate scale to measure is tipped, even a little, the angle of that ruler must be included in calculations. Measuring using your method is an easier way, that seems to be most accurate. Thanks for your video.

    Another way is to use a really sharp pencil, and trace the inside dimension onto the materiel you're cutting. Then you can dial that in for a perfect fit by making incremental cuts, closer and closer to the line. Takes a bit, but it works.

      I don't understand where this dumb myth originated in USA. For a country which invented the internet and all kinds of technologies the people there are unable to look beyond their nose.
      Most industrial manufacturing happens with the metric system. As does plywood. Plywood comes in 18mm Or 19mm thickness. The 19mm plywood is more popular. For gods sake take out your calipers and check the thickness of your plywood before mouthing off lame myths.

    A even better way to ensure your inside piece fits its to use a making knife to mark it directly from your box onto the piece you are cutting. This eliminates ALL measurement errors. And the knife line is more accurate than a pencil line.
