I LOVE you!…..in a strictly platonic way!! 😁 Your videos are the best!!
Awesome Vid.Thank youi!!
Hi your video is really good I learned alot from watching this video well done
Oh my god stop calling it a CHOPSAW you freakin dweeb
Haven’t used a miter saw yet, but just like with handled saws I’ll used a clamp not my hand to hold down the boards. They’re too unforgiving.
Please wear hearing and eye protection!
Nice safety goggles!
Which stand are you using?
Measure once cut twice, I’ve been doing that for years, it was very wasteful. I’ve started to measure twice and cut once these days
I love your tutorial!! Thank you for those tips.
Thx for teaching, I did make mistakes before and had poor cut on my pieces
After unboxing your new mitre saw remove the blade guard. It’s a pain in the arse.
Fingers can be reattached.
Then calibrate the blade.
What kind of table is that
Thank you for this thorough video. I’m brand spanking new to power tools and it is SO intimidating. If you were my neighbor, you’d be sick of me because I would constantly be popping by with questions.
Hey. Thanks for the video. Can I ask you a question? Those Milwaukee saw brackets look an awful lot like the Ridgid ones that are no longer available… is there any way you can tell me what the dimensions of them are? Outside dimensions of the rails on the stand, rail/tube thickness… I would sure appreciate it if you could. The Ridgid is a 9944 stand, and the dimensions on it I’m referring to are: a rail to rail width of 12 1/4, and the rail/tube thickness is 1 3/4. Thanks.
Jeff: first tip is let the saw stop spinning before lifting it.
Also Jeff: Immediately stops following his own tip for the rest of the entire video lol
I hate when you call the chop saw
thanks
I’ve seen videos on how cut more acute angles but cutting a board at 45 and then using that as the fence etc.. the problem I’m having is getting through wider material. For example. I’m preparing to build an a frame and need to cut 54 degree on a 2×6. Figure out the math thats in excess of 12" Is there a way to do this on the saw. or will it require a bigger saw or sliding saw. Yes, I realize I can do it with a circular. I want something more accurate (for me) that I can set and repicate.
Hey Jeff, new to your channel and DIY projects. I will admit, we’re probably around the same age and you should have been my dad. LOL! Anyway it would have been nice to learn at a younger age. I love your videos and channel and compare you to the same caliber as this old house. Just a great FYI. I went to Lowe’s in the south as you say, this morning. I bought the same saw in this video on clearance for 300 flat. I thought that was a great deal. Thanks for teaching keep it up!
Great master, great video.
Nice.
Measure once, cut 15 times, got it.
2:12 talks about safety
9:15 literally shows one of the most dangerous things you can do with a miter saw
I’ve learned a lot since I discovered your channel. Thank you for making these educational videos.
Love this video. However, what do you do if you have a smaller miter saw with a tall baseboard that you can’t fully cut if upright? Especially if you need to do a scarf joint? Can you only do a scarf joint cutting vertically?
Great video, what model is the stand ?
Good video, but after saying you should always let the blade stop spinning before lifting it up he proceeds with never doing this himself…
I’d like to know what is the Milwaukee miter saw stand serial model number? Thanks for all your advices you’re a pro…
Great video!! Thanks
great tips n tricks appreciate the video!
Very informative and funny too! Thx
Where is your eye protection? Dude, this is a video for beginners… you should start with safety
Dangerous bro no 👀👀👀👀
Learned more tips in this 9 minute video than I did on my nvq level 2 course
u so knowledgeable, and u go straight to the point
First time using a miter saw. This was incredibly helpful. Thank you!
Saving this video!
9:18 as a complete beginner who just bought a miter saw. The common sense part of my brain says this is a bad idea
It started good and easy then it hot complicated
Thanks!
You should teach a course in speed reading. My brain finally caught up a week after I watched the video.
Awesome video. I want to purchase a miter saw but didn’t know enough to make an informed purchase and now I do. 😊
Mitre saw not chop saw
❤️💪
Sweetness and light! My first attempt at this… having watched this fantastic video I feel informed, energised and ready…. let’s hope! Great tuition, great presentation, great for new DIYers. *****(*)
MASTERFUL VIDEO.
My baseboards are 8" in width. I haven’t found a miter saw that says it’s capable of cutting that. Have any tips on how to cut wider boards?
4/3/2023 thank you for posting your video from buffalo NY
It’s always nice to have a slider when you need one.I couldn’t do without mine
