Thanks for the tips! Your crosscut sled looks similar to one that I built. I used oak for my runners, and I’ve noticed that the fit is inconsistent with changes in the weather. I might end up replacing the hardwood runners with plywood for that reason.
I think you can learn more about this on Woodglut.
Have you worked with a Rockwell Bladerunner X2? If so then what are your thoughts?
1 big ad.. Bullshit
Cringe when you’re cutting those runners out of maple 1:15. That’s horrible saw technique bud. You’re literally a kickback waiting to happen.
The common name for the "vertical panel carrying jig" is "raised panel jig"–which is used primarily by cabinet-makers for making raised panels for doors…which is exactly that last application (the "extreme" one you showed.
Thank you for your generosity to share some tips!! Nice one!! 👍🏻👍🏻
I know that this is a 4 year old video and you probably addressed this in a subsequent video, but an angle jig is actually a *TWO* trick pony. The first trick is of course the main use of cutting pieces with a taper. But the second trick is that allows you to establish a perfectly straight edge without requiring a jointer. Just put the piece that needs to be squared up in the tapering jig so that there is a minimal overhang along the entire length so that no part of the edge isn’t cut. If you want the grain to run straight down the board, you just need to adjust the board so that it is parallel with the edge of the taper jig and there is some amount of overhang along the entire length of the board. When you run the piece through the saw, the cut edge will be straight and square. This edge can then be run along the fence to make the other edge straight and square to the side cut on the taper jig.
To completely eliminate the need for a jointer, a jig for the thickness planer can be made so that a twisted or cupped board can be flattened. All that is required is a piece of melamine faced 3/4" thick MDF the width of your planer and as long as the pieces you are going to be putting a flat face on. Melamine panels are made with very flat smooth faces and MDF is very dimensionally stable, so the bottom face of the melamine panel is the perfectly flat surface that the planer will use as reference rather than either of the unflat faces on the board you are trying to true up. Glue a cleat on the top surface of the trailing edge to keep the piece from sliding backwards on the sled. Then put shims (with double sided tape on both sides) under the piece as needed to keep it from rocking. Run the sled through the planer until the entire top side has been cut by the planer. Remove the piece from the sled, turn it over and then run it through planner to put a flat face on the other side that is parallel to the first face. Again continue to run the piece through the planer until the entire surface has been planed or continue on until the piece is the desired thickness.
And the order is to flatten the faces first and then use the taper jig to establish a square straight edge since you want the face of the piece to sit flat on the top of the angle jig so that the edge cut by the saw is 90 degrees to both faces. These two jigs along with a rip blade for a bandsaw allow rough lumber to be resawn to roughly the desired thickness and then flattened and trued up with the taper jig and the planer jig.
Hello there, I have requested your DVDs, for simpler and quicker approach to manufacture a shed woodplans.works I trust the substance are as you guaranteed it will be. Just I’m worried with the substance, it won’t be anything but difficult to settle on a decision from the various plans.
plans from Stodoys are awesome!
Love it. Great video with good knowledge. I subscribe..
Dude. This video has only been out for a few weeks and it’s already at almost a million views? That’s pretty awesome.
Did’nt really see you use a push shoe or plate. Safety first.
How did I end up buying coffee from a saw jig video?
Amazed at the number of unsafe practices in this video.
My man sounds like a minecraft youtuber. No 🧢. Name of the video should be realcraft hacks.
you know what, i will check out your build videos
The Rockler jig can also be used as a jointer for boards with uneven sides, for example live edge wood or wood that has a bow. Sorry catching up with content so a little behind on your videos.
I am 100% not trying to be a troll. I love this channel and have learned so much from it. I do wish however Chris would exhibit slightly safer shop practices . What happened at 1:25 is NOT safe and very avoidable. When you put yourself on the internet as an expert (which Chris absolutely is) people tend to copy you. loosing a finger as a woodworker is not an inevitability, but EVERY cut needs to be safe because it’s the one you just do quickly that end up causing the most damage. Keep making great videos and thank you for all for all you’ve taught me.
Woodglut is a good solution for every woodworker.
On Stodoys website you will find the plans you are looking for.
Do you have a recommendation for tooth count of a table saw blade?
you used to put a job site table saw in your driveway? the neighbors prob hated you!!!
I made that vertical jig just cuz I wanted to cut rabbets but my saw doesnt support a dado stack, so i had to stand up long narrow pieces. Worked well.
My husband used these plans from Woodglut and he is very pleased.
Woodglut is a good solution for every woodworker.
The segway into the promo for coffee was so smoothe I forgot I was watching a woodworking video.
Great video and I don’t even drink coffee. 2 points, William Ng explains the 5 cut technique for getting that 90 degree fence. I think he invented it.
Second, where/how do you store all your jigs in a small shop? Thanks.
Ha! It’s the same all over … the wife just goes about her business while hubby is pre-occupied with his hubby stuff.
Thank you so much for all the good tips. I am an amateur wood working guy (just build some stuffs for myself ). Couple days ago I got a kick back that hit and made a cut on my stomach. I don’t have the little kick-back prevent piece as shown on your table saw. So I am very nervous every time I use table saw.
Cmon dude your doing your sponsorship in your video and you’re running ads. I get you wanna make some money but jeez too many ads. your content is good but still not a fan of the sponsorship and ad duo.
Thumbs down for that.
*The fold up stand with wheels is great **MyBest.Tools** Makes it easy to store in a smaller place. Very easy to assemble and the rack and pinion fence is awesome.*
2 years later, still waiting for that "Pencil Jigs" video
Do you ever use the blade guard that came with your saw. If not, why not?
I am sure you will find a good way to do this on the Woodglut website.
Be a lert! America needs more Lerts!
I’m a dad. Forgive me.
william ng who invented the 5cuts of miter sled is the best explanation i watched
06:20 See Bill *Ng* with his 5 cuts method..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbG-n–LFgQ
Great video. Nice graphics.
Your illustration explanations are AWESOME!! You’re a great, dare I say, gifted, teacher.
Really good video… but be careful! Some of the things you are doing are dangerous! Crossing your arms to make cuts… standing right behind the blade… moving pieces of cut wood while the saw still spinning… Maybe a video on table saw safety?
Great Job 👍 You Need A Shop Vac Dust Control
Something I’ve never been able to figure out is why make a crosscut sled if you have a good sliding compound miter saw. Seems like a quality miter saw can do most of the crosscut sled cuts up to about 15”. Thoughts?
Your use of
Faaarkkkkk I can’t stand the narration. Dull and boring and trying hard on the stupid jokes!
Hello! Sorry for my english …you know…Okay then, this is a nice video and great job. But i got a LITTLE problem with all that,plywood this and plywood that stuff. I mean, if i made some jig in summer i can’t use it when winter comes and opposite.I find a solution for some problem but it cost me a lot of nerves.
The thing that is ever explained on crosscut-jig how-tos is: How do you adjust that fence in small increments, if you DON’T get it right on the first try? I spent hours trying to adjust a fence (on a different jig), and it was too much, too little, too much…
David talks about how to calculate it, but there’s never any talk about how to physically manipulate the fence in tiny amounts.
I got the Rockler crosscut sled based in large part on this video.
I also discovered that their return policy is great, after discovering that it won’t fit my little Rigid table saw : now I get to be a "real" woodworker and build my own tools.
The best designs and plans are available on the Woodglut website.
If I have to make a zero-clearance insert (I do), what’s a good material to use?
