You are such a great teacher you have made me a way better trim carpenter. Much respect to you Spencer.
It is INCREDIBLY generous of you to share your vast knowledge of trim carpentry. Your channel has improved my work immeasurably. Thank you Spencer.
I'll probably never use 1/4 of the stuff I learn watching your videos, but I continue to watch them over & over! I have gained so much knowledge from your CZcams channel.
True. Makes me wish I had trained as a carpenter from a young age. Seems so satisfying.
Awesome video. One thing you mentioned resonated with me - many times NOT using a tape measure gives you much more accurate cuts. Templates, story boards, jigs and stops, etc. are your friends.
It works on my two Makita LS1013 Compound Sliding Miter saws. Great tip. Thank you!
This is why you are so productive and successful! You could make a nice additional income teaching classes on fine woodworking. Nice job Spencer!
You've explained nicely why my miters weren't coming out the way I wanted. I'm doing a home project that calls for roughly 300 identical molding cuts and what I've learned with this video is how to make them all perfect. Thanks!
I thought I had seen you demonstrate this before. It didn't work as well for me, but I realize now that I was cutting on the left side of the blade and you're darn right. It makes a difference. Thanks for this post and all of your previous instruction. I like being efficient. I still struggle with accuracy. but I'm working on it.
Wayne you are a rare man, you admit your short comings. We all should be so honest 👍
The best tutorial on the pivot points and using stop blocks to batch produce. I did not know about the right side of the blade being absolute zero and didn't think about the EZ fence adding an 1/8" to that pivot point. Really a great job Spencer.
Thank you I have tried to batch cut trim once. Until now I didn’t understand the pivot point concept. Between this and your rolling miters video. I’ve added two new professional skills to my ever growing list. Thank you Spencer.
Not only are you a great trim carpenter you are an amazing teacher.
Kudos for putting out a miter saw video that actually goes in to detail about mitered cuts. 8 bajillion miter saw tutorials out there explaining how to cut a 90 with a stop block but few that explain miters, apparently. I was puzzled as to why the auxiliary fences threw off the pivot until I watched again and realized my aux. fence aligns with the primary and does not add the 1/8 as yours does. Developing and maintaining consistent miter cuts is a tricky thing especially if the pieces are of two different lengths and there's a dedicated face as with molding. I drove myself crazy trying to get a workable set up yesterday and did several searches trying to find an answer. I realize now that I should have used "trim carpentry" or similar terms but I'm just making a box so it didn't occur to me. You are right in that no one is teaching this type of thing but if I need to know how to reduce tear out, sneak up on a cut, or how to use tape to make a zero clearance, the videos are aplenty. Thanks for the great information.
Thanks for the tips. I actually did this last year when I decided to copy the dog ear cut for fencing. I put a stop block to cut the 1x5 to 7 ft and then I put a stop block to cut the notches to form the crown cut like a typical dog ear for fencing. My neighbor who works in construction was amazed at how nice all the cuts align when it was all put together.
It's not a trick. It's brilliance and talent. Fantastic.
Great video, I was always cutting my 45's on the left being right handed and watching my pencil line. But after this video I went down stairs and made a stop block and followed everything you did and wow what a difference perfect 45s and my 5 year old Kolbalt has a perfect pivot point.
This was exactly the video I needed. In the process of putting decorative molding on my interior doors and have a bunch of cuts to make. I kept screwing up the miter cuts forgetting which way to turn the saw.
That’s a real time saver and super accurate . I really like the adjustability of the flip up double sliding stop block set up 👍
I'm not a carpenter but, your tips make be a better DIY'er. Thanks!
Great information. Happy to say my 3 year old Kobalt 10” miter saw passed the test! Thanks for your insights. As someone else posted, I only use a small portion of the knowledge in your videos, but watch them all, over and over. Keep them, coming, please.
This technique works on my Ridgid mitre saw as well. The right face of the blade is always in the same point. This is the best advice I have ever seen on mitre saws. Thank You.
Daaaang! On the last tip as soon as you reached for the scrap piece it clicked what you were about to do, and I'll be definitely keeping that in mind! I don't often have wings on my chopsaw, as I usually am doing just rough framing on jobs I need to be in and out pretty quick, but I do sometimes attatch a 12" strip of 3/4 so I can screw down a 2x4 as a stop block for gang cutting deck skirt boards. I'm keeping that trick in mind for when I know I'll have board of different lengths to do, and not need to keep unscrewing and moving the stop block. Genius and am kicking myself for never thinking of it before haha. Great tip.
Every video is a Master Class.....Thank You.
Spencer you are next level. Thank you for everything you share with us.
Thanks for the tip I was not aware of this. I recently built a miter saw station like yours and it was a game changer !
I liked the horizontal bead trick. I use the vertical but then have always reset my my stop block. My Bosch axil arm has the exact same plane. Good information as always Spencer. Thanks
This has been by far the best mitre saw tutorial and explanation I have ever seen 🙏👍👏.much appreciated
my friend , I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
Excellent tutorial. Not only you are an exceptionally good craftsman, but you also have a great pedagogical talent.
I'm not a finish carpenter and only occasionally cut "batched" parts. I'm very thankful to learn about the pivot point and dual level stop.
Thanks for the valuable information. I'm new to finish carpentry and is really a game changer. Your videos and instructions are clear easy to follow.
Excellent tutorial! Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us all.
Very well explained. Something I have never thought of doing. I have had good experiance measuring and cutting each piece, but what a time saver. Thank you!
As usual, excellent instruction! Optimizing production, especially with the abundance of wainscot cuts, is money.
Also, no matter how many times I see it your miter saw setup still amazes me.
Thx for sharing.
Awesome. Learnt more in last 20 mins than last 55years. Just starting out on my hobby wood working journey..👍🇬🇧🇬🇪🙋🏼♂️
Wow! I'm starting a big bar project with lots of panels, you just saved me hours of cutting and fitting with my 780!!!!! Thank you!!!!
What a smart guy who share his wonderful ideas generously.
Brilliant and this is going to be so useful in a refurb of an old farm building I am starting to do. There are so many applications to this! Thanks you so very much.
This guy is impressive...you are a really good teacher,communicator and true professional,love to see your videos, love from Spain.
Brilliant!!!
One of the very few who keeps coming up with incredible content
Another great lesson Spencer!
Do you think you would ever do a demonstration at a JLC Live event? I think it would be awesome to see you run a demonstration in person.
Great presentation. I have the 780 and never considered the location of the pivot point, much less that it referenced off the right side. Good to know, thanks.
Thank you for explaining how the pivot point works. I have the DeWalt DW716 miter saw and its pivot point works exactly as you described. I was able to use it to batch cut all of the trim moulding for a shadow box project and it sped the work up a great deal. Thank you.
It is very generous of you indeed to share experience. Thanks!!
That fence and wing set up is awesome!
Precisely what Tony said. My trim and staircases have come a long way thank you for always putting good content out
Great tips! I've never really used stop blocks but this makes so much sense.
Just tested and it works the same on my 10" bosch axial glide miter saw. Pivot is indexed to the right side of the blade.Thanks!
So awesome Spencer. I'm going to try it with my miter saw. Totally appreciate your videos!
I've been using the same saw for years now. One thing I do is batch cut all the bead pcs oversized by an inch or so with all the LH miter cuts. That way when I'm batch cutting vert panel rails and beads I only swing the saw left to right once, not on every stick of bead.
pretty sure he does the same , hes only switching because hes only cutting one .
Bro, this is some cool technique! I had to run out to my job site on the weekend to check with my saw and see if it is made the same. The Makita GSL04Z is the same way. That perfect pivot point is spot on if you run off of the right hand side of the blade. Cool trick man! This is gonna up the efficiency game. Thanks Spencer.
Awesome video full of great advice. This makes us all better at our tread and more productive in the field. Well done and thanks Ed.
Understanding the pivot point explains a few perplexing measurement problems. I really pays to thing these things through, thanks for the tips.
Tried your tip Spencer, on my Bosch GKG 24v miter saw (20 years old, with the original motor!) and it works a treat. Best to use the original width and kerf blade for maximum accuracy. Many thanks for sharing. Here's a wee tip that might help someone out. When Tightening hand tightened drill chuck, tighten as much as possible then back off a bit and you here a click, this locks the bit in the chuck, and solves the problem of the bit working loose as your using it. Works with Bosch cordless drills (might work with other makes too, test out) Great channel, keep up the good work. All the best, Pete 👍 (Scotland UK)
Brilliant! Love these tips and tricks.
One of the best tips I have heard in some time! Thanks for sharing.
Never have seen this technique before! Now I can use it thank you Spencer!
Hey Spencer, thank you for this tip and all of your other tips, tricks and techniques you’ve shared in the past.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Keep up the great posts 👍🏽yes I’ve learned a lot from these videos.
Great stuff. I'm pretty obsessed with finding ways to improve my workflow and this will help a lot!
Great tips! I did not know of any of your tips you shared in this video. Thank you and keep them coming.
Thank you, Spencer. That is something most people have probably never thought of. I'll have to check both of my miter saws on Monday. I would be surprised if they aren't all designed to have the pivot point at the intersection of the planes, but then again....
I ran into this problem with the aux fence and the left side stop blocks. Thank you!
I learned some awesome woodcraft today. This will help me continue my reign as the absolute best craftsman on my entire....street....my side. BOTH HOUSES!
Amazing how much I learn from you! Thank you sir!
Loving your efficiency..thanks so much..
Always incredible education in your vids and you are a great communicator and your passion always shines through. Hope you are going to have a glorious week. Thanks for the vids
GREAT JOB. 👍 learn so much much by your teaching 👏
Nice video. Great super handy explanation without a bunch of blah, blah, blah. Thanks
Brilliant. Your videos are so helpful. Thank you!
You are an absolute genius! Thank you for this!!
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing. Now when I set up my miter saw like this , I'll look like a genius.😁
This is actually unbelievable! Well done Spencer! 👍🤙🙏
I did not know this trick. I have a Delta 10" Sliding Compound Miter Saw. I will do some test cuts to see if this works on my saw. Thank you for this great video.
Hell of an important detail you taught me right there.
That is an awesome video, very helpful info! Really explains the miter saw and how it all works. Thanks Spencer.
Wow! Very interesting and important information! I'm only a DIY home owner, but I'm always updating and improving my home as well as my children's homes. Thanks for sharing your talents and knowledge!
Great video and understandable instruction. Thank you for your time and talent.
Thats so cool! I cant wait to build my miter saw wings with the stop block system. Curently in a process of getting a Sprinter van so i can fit more stuff for my jobs until then i wont be able to efficiently transport my miter saw station. Thanks for sharing this with us!
I bought that same exact Miter saw because of you. Same blade too.. I bought those same exact aux fences because of you. I had no idea leaving those on would affect the angle/length when batch cutting doing a mitered casing. Thank you for letting us know that. I leave the fences on because they look cool. Not anymore... Thanks again...
By far the best saw set up I’ve seen that I like. I would burn threw a house twice as fast with that set up. Great video.
Good video. I would add when using stop blocks put a small backcut on the stop where it meets the table. That way sawdust does not build up in between the trim and stop. Sawdust Will start throwing you out pretty quick when production cutting.
You are an amazing trim carpenter man. Thanks for sharing your techniques. 👍👍
Spencer I salute you number one carpenter in America 💪👍🙌
Thanks, Spencer. Definitely learned something new.
Thanks Spencer great lesson ive saved loads of time with this method and so accurate cheers mate
