Do these 5 things to make your miter saw better. These easy upgrades will make using the miter saw safer, produce better quality cuts with minimal tear out, and improve dust collection.

    I am a retired trim carpenter and thought I knew all the tricks already. I thought wrong. Thank you for this very informative video, I learned from it. I also enjoyed your style of teaching without the silly jokes and distracting music. Thank You, for being you, and making this video.

    Great tips. I have the new Flex saw. The dust collection is 70% better than any other miter saw I've used. The zero clearance tape. Oh my goodness. That would have saved me an afternoon fighting to that stupid zero clearance block in place properly. Thank you!

    Very timely video as I'm building a miter station today. My dust collection is going to be a bit of a challenge because under my miter station/bench is my dog run for my dogs. They're kept out of my shop with hog fence on the front of my miter station bench. I love your shroud and how you can slide it out of the way, think I'll need to implement that into mine. Also love the tip on the no clearance tape. Thanks for sharing.

  • @marchuvfulz

    The automated switches for dust collectors are a must, IMO. So much more effective than having to remember to turn on the dust collection everytime you use the tool.

  • @NPOAfterMidnight-ft9zj
    @NPOAfterMidnight-ft9zj Před měsícem +1

    Thanks for the video. I would recommend, on your zero clearance jig, that you just CA glue an 1"-2" strip on the bottom side of the jig on both the right and left side flush with the plate. This allows you to just slide your jig off and on without having to fasten it to the miter saw. Works like a champ. I wished I could take credit, but I saw this on @731Woodworks CZcams channel from a video he did about must-have jigs for the miter saw.

  • @andrewpinson1268
    @andrewpinson1268 Před měsícem +1

    All are great suggestions. Since you are much younger than most woodworkers - 1/3 my age - if you can afford it buy a rolling miter saw stand to help with the old back. I bought the Bosch stand which is way more expensive than yours though. Miter saws can be dangerous so do all you can.

  • @FunAtDisney
    @FunAtDisney Před 26 dny

    I love the sled jig! It solves both the zero-clearance issue while also stability. I think I would also make another one with bevels

  • @xoxo2008oxox
    @xoxo2008oxox Před měsícem +1

    When cutting small or thin moulding, while your updated fence is perfect, in a pinch, pun, I would use a sacrificial piece behind the moulding to allow more of the saw contact rather than back of saw which tends to throw the piece. Love the shopvac setup.

    Thanks for the concise video - I've been using the zero clearance tape, but I'm going to be building the table and dust hood as well.
    I'd like to point out that tear out can be further reduced by slowing the cut and not lifting the saw until it comes to a complete stop.

  • @MaxTSanches
    @MaxTSanches Před měsícem +1

    Great tips. The only one that I would add, as I found it useful, is the raise up the miter saw above the table about 1 1/2 inches (a 2x4) so that you can vacuum under the saw when necessary.

  • @jandblawncare8570
    @jandblawncare8570 Před 29 dny +1

    I just wish my Bosch would stay square! Ive made adjustment after adjustment and it seems fine for the first few cuts then seems to go out after that. Ive followed their directions using 2 or 3 different squares, digital angle reader and all are good at first. I had to rip down a 15" 1x10 for a sign and within those 15" it was off a fat 1/16th.

    Good video. Thank you for the phrase- "That sucks, and not in a good way." I think it is about time that the process of applying negative pressure be celebrated and not maligned and associated as bad as it has always been. I fully intend to add that "and not in a good way" suffix every time I hear someone say "that sucks", which in my shop is about 100 times a day since some of my employees can be idiots. (over and over and over, ugh)
    This sounds like I am kidding but in fact I am serious since that damaging phrase has annoyed me for many decades. Cool saw tips, will check out your other videos.
    BTW- when chop saws came out we started using old drapes around ours to help contain the dust. We had used some of that on our big radial arm saws and the difference was HUGE. Yes I have been in the business over 40 yrs and just got around to watching youtube stuff.

    Excellent Video! I will look into the iVac switch!
    Very good points on supporting one’s work, but @ 06:42 DON’T lift up until blade has stopped! This is a pet peeve of mine, and I get pushback ( no pun ) from a lot of people. I have used miter saws for over 20 years, and having small pieces fly out when lifting the head with the blade either coasting down, or even running, is not safe. I get it that this can add extra time to the work process, but at the cost of a bad injury? Stay safe! 👍

    Recommendation on the Zero clearance tape & the hold down stick was worth the price of admission.
    I applied the zero clearance tape today and it makes a BIG difference. The tape is super sticky and when you cut the kerf, that yellow sticky tape sawdust is a bit of a chore to clean up.

  • @alecmaxwell7945
    @alecmaxwell7945 Před 28 dny

    You might want to consider full kerf blades. I know the thin kerf blades use less ]over but can get alittle squirrely, especially when they get hot or your miter cutting a hard moulding. Nice clean shop!
