    5 years later… these tips were very helpful. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

    Another reason to wait for your blade to stop, is that most miter saws have an electric brake built into the switch. When the brake is activated it causes the blade to suddenly slow down dramatically, which actually flexes the blade, up to a 16th of an inch in some cases (depending on the blade.) High speed footage shows how much wobble a blade can sustain when the brake is activated. So if you’re letting go of the switch and immediately lifting up the blade, that flex can nick the material or cause a blowout.

    Ha… this video was too helpful and actually explained to me why I see people let the blade stop before lifting. Never knew why i’d just follow the same procedure knowing there was a good reason for it…. Woodworking newbie.

      Personally, I enjoy making the tools a lot more than using the tools to make other things.

    Raising the blade in order to barely graze the piece using the carbide tips is one of those “Classic Knecht” tips that makes me smile and shake my head in awe. Always appreciate your videos Colin

    It's amazing that such a small angle cut on the corner of the stop block can make such a difference !

  • @hansdegroot8549
    @hansdegroot8549 Před 6 lety +25

    Very useful tips again, Colin. Thanks for sharing.
    Because of the fact that a mitre saw is shattering sawdust everywhere I always have a small (round 2 cm) paint brush nearby to clean up the work surface.
    Saw dust causes that the wood is not touching the wood evenly on the ground and/or back plate and when sawing in spite of that you do not get good cuts.

    • @hansdegroot8549
      @hansdegroot8549 Před 6 lety

      I do not have, yet.
      But how effective is your dust collection?
      Especially at mitre saws it's quite a problem.
      Do you have a video on that?

    • @WylmerCo
      @WylmerCo Před 4 lety +1

      Butt the wood, lift the blade carefully, start the saw and then do the cut. You'll have less burning/tearout. You'll also get cuts that are more square, especially on hardwood. You don't want to be cutting with the back/side of your blade's teeth.

    • @robertgallacher7214
      @robertgallacher7214 Před 4 lety

      If you are not cutting thin pieces an even better way is to put a thin piece of wood under the stop prior to clamping, then remove it before cutting. Any sawdust just gets pushed under the stop.
