3:09 One thing I found out the hard way - not only does your fence need to be square to the blade but each side needs to be lined up with the other. Both sides of my fence were square to the blade but one side was slightly forward and as result....bad cuts 😕 Just put a straight edge to your fence to make sure.

After 10 years without a miter saw, I purchase the Ridgid 10" Cruiser and put a Frued Ultra Finish blade on it. . Added a back zero clearance fence, and Fast Cap's zero cleanse tap . A little black hobby foam to enlarge the dust collection scoop, and a dedicated Small shop vac with an auto start switch and a cardboard box helps contain most of the dust. Even bought the DeWalt Crown stops so I can do crown molding Cruiser as the same 8mm hole on the side. It sits at the end of my M1000 extension to my MFT/3 table. Give me 12' to the left in my shop. I made custom temporary supports for supporting material on both side when needed. BTW, you can easily make one of those million dollar hold downs with some scraps and rubber door bumpers.

@wallydavis8307 9 дней назад

I wish I would’ve seen this video earlier recently. I tried to cut a 45° angle on a very short piece of 2 x 4 end and it grabbed it kicked back, throwing my hand into the frame of the miter, saw cutting and pinning my finger there even with gloves on. I was in a remote part of Wisconsin just wanted to get to urgent care to have them look at it, but they wanted to send out paramedics and when they looked at my finger thought that I might lose it and called for a helicopter to meet us at the nearest airport. By the time we got to the airport, the blood flow had improved and decided to have my wife drive the two hours to a trauma one hospital instead of the $40,000 helicopter ride. turns out the tendons and blood flow is good now, but I damaged my nerve and the surgeon said I should regain feeling within the next eight weeks. I really appreciate you doing this video

@bsoneill3 4 дня назад

Wow. I hope your hand recovers. In case anyone is reading your comment and sees the use of gloves. Never use gloves with anything spinning. Never. If the glove catches, it will pull and wrap and you're in deep trouble very quickly.

@jefffree6990 14 дней назад

This is a great video. I'm a guitar builder and a new Miter saw owner (Dewalt). I was wondering how to safely cut a 15 degree scarf cut on guitar necks (20mm thick long boards). The only way I can think is to set the angle and clamp the material to a block, which is in turn clamped to the fence. This basically leaves the neck material sticking out towards me as the cut is made (I would stand to the side).

@NathanTalbertWoodworking 13 дней назад

I finally upgraded my crappy hetabo miter saw to the 780 last fall. It doesn't seem like much but that shadow line is such a time saver. lining up cuts is super easy and accurate without even having to put any thought into it.

@DTSVK 14 дней назад

Tip #7: Loose Clothing. I would add: "also do not use gloves". Thanks for good tips and free safety course which was not boring. Even seasoned woodworkers should time to time watch videos like this one. My neighbour spent whole life in wood shop. After retirement he voluntarily went to work on saturday to met his old mates. He lost three fingers.

@rohlfing63 9 дней назад

Great tips. A DeWalt miter saw (not a slider) is one of the most used tools in our shop where I'm teaching inner city kids about carpentry and woodworking. Besides the warning about baggy sleeves, I'm constantly reminding the students to tuck in their hoodie strings, or take them off. Some of the students are wearing hoodies 12 months out of the year, the risk is significant.

@johnbailey2024 5 дней назад

Im so glad you mentioned the not crossing your arms thing, ive been utilizing this method for years, and again do you leave the saw plugged in when leveling the blade or not? And when i change my blades, i put a wrench on the nut and turn on the saw, that blade comes flying off, just make sure you stand off to the side, cause that blade will mutilate whatever it hits, and always take the saw guard off too,

@v3c7r0n 15 дней назад

Great video Matt! I do feel somewhat personally attacked by #3 because I do it constantly, but you are 100% right. Also Shop Nation makes a bunch of dust collection upgrade brackets for most of the saws you've mentioned, including the older DeWalt saws. I haven't put it on my DW716 yet but I will be doing that soon.

Great video, Matt. Safety should never be taken for granted since most of the time you only get one chance to be safe! It too late for the coulda', woulda', shoulda' after you cut something precious off - be that some of the wood or a body part. I bought the 12" non-sliding DeWalt Miter saw and added the shadow line. I already have one of those controversial radial arm saws so don't need the added cutting capacity the slide offers. More of these Do's & Don'ts videos would be nice, especially if you make sure to explain the why's behind the no-no's.

@mikem1436 15 дней назад

Common sense would be that a miter saw is going to be used for cross cuts. Why would a manufacture ship a 40 tooth? Old 12" Ridgid came with a 80 tooth. New 12" came with a 60 tooth.

@e.t.preppin7084 10 дней назад

I’ve got a good tip to add for newbie’s. Don’t cut a bowed board with the hump up leaving a gap between the board and saw base. When the cut nears the bottom the board pinches the blade and can want to pull the board towards you and up to the saw. Especially when cutting hard woods. Some great tips in this video. I’ve tried to never become over confident when using all power tools. I love that T shirt, it’s so true. Always listen to your gut it’s truly one of your best safety features. One last tip if something goes wrong release the trigger.

My dad did that "forget to adjust the fence" whoopsie on his DW. Turned into a great excuse to finally replace the blade in it, at least. I'll note that the shadowline for the cut is the best way I've seen for easy reference, since it perfectly shows the kerf thickness, even out in the sun.

Matt, Awesome video! Great safety tips!! BTW I just got the Metabo HPT 12” sliding miter saw. It’s a newer model. I could not find any reviews on this saw. I did a lot of research and this saw is very comparable to dewalts. Handle is like your Festtool. If you think you could do a review on this saw it would add to the competition. Straight out the box was true to blade and fence. I highly recommend this review as there are older reviews but the saw is newer model now.

@ypaulbrown 9 дней назад

I use my DeWalt like your saw, I think, to cut aluminum......100% of the time..... it is a fantastic tool for that, the only thing I do is use a cutting wax by Tapmatic, Edgelube, and a TCP profile 80 tooth blade......the surface I get will blow you away how smooth.... and yes, it is important to wait for the blade to stop before racing the saw....the dust is no issue, but the chips coming off can be hot, so ear and eye protection is important.... wearing a ball cap with the brim in the proper direction is also very helpful..... all your tips in this video are spot on.....thank you so much....Paul

@DR-zi3wz 9 дней назад

I don’t know about the DWS-779, but on my DWS-780, the DW-7084 crown stops can’t mounted. The tabs under the table are not cast in and the threaded clips cannot be mounted. Dewalt basically said “Oops” and that was all they offered. I used JB Weld to mount the clips. Otherwise, it’s a great saw.

@ypaulbrown 9 дней назад

great stuff.....and don't cross your arms....Paul

@jackturner214 11 дней назад

For #1, I highly recommend this versus just holding a board up on the saw. One thing I will suggest is that rather than double stick tape, you use the clamp that comes with every miter saw that is totally worthless for any other application; now, not only are you using a piece most people just consider at throw away, you can make one jig and use it over and over. Or, just buy the Rigid R4222, which cuts angles up to 70 degrees; that's what I did and I've been happy with it so far.

@daifeichu 14 дней назад

I'm glad you mentioned the crossing your arms thing. I tend to see this more with right handed people. Us left handers have learned to roll with the punches since it's mostly a right handed world so we can operate the saw with both hands.

@JeffreyFeyh-rb4xk 2 дня назад

This is a funny concept to me because as a a Right handed person. I've been into woodworking as a hobby since I was 5. I probably bought my first miter saw in my early 20s. I am now 38. Perhaps I never learned the bad habit because. I learned from a handful of trades people, including my uncles. And an assortment of HGTV personalities back in the early 90 when I was in middle school and highschool. Im not saying I never make mistakes because I have. But to cross my arms to operate a miter saw never crossed my mind. I think that's a commen since thing. And has nothing to do with being right handed or left handed. But Right minded in the task at hand.

@daifeichu 2 дня назад

@@JeffreyFeyh-rb4xk I didn't start out as early as you, I was 10, but now I'm 56 and in all that time I've never seen a left handed person cross their arms using a miter saw, only right handed. I believe the reason is, a lot of things in the world are built for righties so left handed people just shrug their shoulders and adapt to the situation. As a right hand person you wouldn't understand.

@RyanMoto79 15 дней назад

I never thought about using it like that with a stop block I built your miter saw station and never had a stop block before. But even with a stop block I still clamp the piece down by the blade that’s the only reason I haven’t had kick back . Thank you for this . Could have saved anything bad from happening to me .

@johnhaller5851 14 дней назад

At least on the DeWalt, the instructions say to let the blade stop before lifting it after a cut. I thought it was because the blade guard might not retract fast enough, but kickback makes more sense. It doesn't hurt to reread instructions every year or two, after using the saw for a while, the reasons start to make more sense, but we can also get a sense of security with a dangerous, but useful tool.

@balancepoint226 15 дней назад

@731Woodworks A Company called CFS or Custom Fabricating Solutions actually makes Zero Clearance Plates for Dewalt Miter Saws, even Sliding models. For the longest time no one was making the Plates for the DW717 10" Slider model, but they do. Quick Shipping also. No issues with any level issues as it sits flush or about a 32nd under the miter plate. No issues cutting the line either as it does come blank to perfectly match your blade. Thin Kerfs as well. I would advise using a higher teeth blade that matches the blade you want to use first so that the initial cut goes smoothly. Just take your time.

@DarksouIjah 15 дней назад

@PaganWizard 14 дней назад

Just a quick FYI, you mentioned the Delta Cruzer miter saw, that saw is no longer being manufactured. This is not because any design flaws or mechanical issues, it's because their parent company decided to rebrand it under the RIDGID (Home Depot) name, my guess is that they wanted to take the saw out of their competitor's stores (Lowe's) . The Delta Cruzer can still be bought on Amazon, and other sites as well, and I believe (please correct me if I'm wrong) the warranty for the Delta saw is being honored by Ridgid, and/or the store or website you bought your saw from. I bought mine on Amazon, along with an extended warranty, and Amazon will cover any issues via that warranty.

Thanks for the useful tips, Matt. However, I noticed you only wore the dust mask when you were doing the segment about dust 😵‍💫 🤷🏻‍♂

I have a question, the only issue Ive ever encountered was a block getting sucked up into the blade and it was possibly the scariest thing ive ever experienced saw wise. So the question: Is it safe to have 1 side clamped down and make thin cuts on the other side? So like if I wanted to chop off an 1/4 inch of a 4x4 what's to prevent that 1/4 inch from getting sucked back up into the blade. It hasn't happened since but it makes me super nervous every time I can't hold the opposite end the clamp is on? I think it wasn't directly from this and was a user error kinda thing moreso but it makes me hesitant still

I got one a few years back. First project got a small piece that kickback and hit the garage door. I bought a canvas apron after that.

I’ll bet that apron does a great job at protecting you from kickback

The Metabo HPT C12RSH2 is a beast of a zero rear clearance miter saw. Currently $299 on Amazon and Menards.

I don't know how often I'll need to make a 60 degree cut, but dang if I didn't learn how.

@toddclayton1007 15 дней назад

I like the dust port mod on your DeWalt. Do you have a link to that mod, or did you make it yourself?

@731Woodworks 15 дней назад

I bought mine here shopnationstore.com

@toddclayton1007 15 дней назад

Awesome, thank you!

@manybikesrbest 14 дней назад

Using the sliding feature and a good--say 80t--blade, the bottom of your cut will always be cleaner--zero-tolerance tape, or no. Not much, mind you; the top will still be plenty clean, but for extra splinter-y wood, it comes in handy to know.

Bosch is an excellent but expensive mitre saw.

I’m a harbor freight fanboy and would recommend the Hercules version 99% of the time. HOWEVER, menards has the Metabo sliding miter saw at $299 with a 11% rebate right now. Go get that thing if you have a Menards close by.

had to chuckle...at 5:33 you mention beginners crossing their arms..... at 5:00 you were crossing your arms........carry on......Paul in Florida

@e.t.preppin7084 10 дней назад

I’ve almost always crossed my arms. Bad habit no doubt. After 40 years of cutting I’m finally trying to correct that bad habit but it’s tough.

@richarddeenis1248 12 дней назад

Always secure the workpiece between the blade and a jig or stop block.

@miyahollands6136 13 дней назад

if you're considered about the tape throwing you off square, just put more tape on the sides, under the material - just like the double-sided tape earlier.

@mikem1436 15 дней назад

No mention of using the Hold Down Clamp. That will keep the wood from moving and also keep it flat on the table. Takes a few seconds to secure the wood and a few seconds to then loosen it. On shorter pieces it keeps your fingers away from the blade.

@davekennedy3985 15 дней назад

If I need to make a 65 degree cut, I just flip it and cut it 25 degrees on the other side.

@HW-75 15 дней назад

Thanks for the tips. I was told by someone miter saws are safer than using table saws. After I had some close calls, I found that assumption a myth.

@samslade739 4 дня назад

Doesn't anyone use radial arm saws anymore? Every shop used to have one but now I don't see anyone using them. Also; I'm guilty of crossing my arms. I'm left handed and my saw trigger can only be unlocked with the right hand.

Oh my goodness, (* don't believe in God *). Yesterday I used my new mitresaw. The Bosch Professional GCM 18v-305 GDC with the GTA3800 an made (* a little bit by purpose *) a few dangerous cuts. But an hour later this video came out an now I see how you can safe make small cuts. So I think I'm going to make a jig to put on the mitresaw for small cuts. Thank you.. also for still having all of my fingers 😂. Greetings from the Netherlands
