Great tip, I am a cabinetmaker and I enjoy figuring out clever ways of solving the puzzles that woodworking presents. One suggestion for increased accuracy: when measuring from the saw blade to the edge of the table to check if they are parallel, take a magic marker and mark a tooth on the blade then measure from the marked tooth to the edge then rotate the blade so that you can measure from the same tooth for your second measurement. The saw blade may be warped just slightly and measuring from the same tooth both times eliminates that issue. Keep the great tips coming!

@jeffshackleford3152 Год назад

We usually just cut from the drop side against the fence. If you stand with the sheet braced against your hip and keep your hands outside the blade, even if it does kickback, it will throw the sheet in such a way that it will rotate off your hip and your hands will be thrown away from the blade. The saw sounds like it is on the verge of kickback the entire time you are cutting ( because it is), but your cuts will be within a 32nd straight and that is fine if you hide that edge where the shoe molding or crown will cover it.

@michaelmagana8785 Год назад

yes

@deependz3231 Год назад

Blade warpage will make one tooth, or teeth, on that blade a shorter distance from the table edge than all the rest, so arbitrarily picking a tooth, or teeth, other than that one(s) just mentioned, will give you an incorrect cutting distance. One way to check for warpage, and if it exists, to identify the shortest distanced tooth, or teeth, is to use an indicator mounted on a stand and check the blade by rotating it by hand to check for the high point which will allow you to identify the shortest distince tooth, or teeth from your table edge.

@jeffshackleford3152 Год назад

@@deependz3231 I am not convinced that is necessary, especially if you can adjust for that slight change in dimension when you set the fence distance. Otherwise you can make a couple cuts and bring your fence distance marker to the measured dimension cut.

I think my favorite method of cleaning up an edge on a large piece is to use a trim router and set up a straight edge, and use a flush trim router bit.

@VKMilling Год назад

That was my go to until I extended my fence rails out to allow for 60" cuts.

@seymourscagnetti1413 Год назад

100 times safer as well.

@Ron-no4tp Год назад

100% agree with this remark. I'm a Retired General Contractor. A router is so much easier and can be used in the field without a table saw. A couple of saw horses, a couple of clamps, a straight edge (I use an aluminum 10' 2 x 4 screed) and a router with the proper bit. Not only is it faster, safer and easier, you get a jointer quality edge every time. If a jointer edge is not needed try a Skil worm drive contractor's saw with the proper blade. Wobble has never been an issue with that kind of saw with me. Also with the proper set up on saw horses you can cut right across the top of the saw horses to easily cut plywood of any length, in any direction with proper support, 8' 12' any foot, no problem with perfect straight cuts.

@MrBluegrassfiddler Год назад

@@Ron-no4tp Thank you Ron. I have also used this method to make fine adjustments to make doors fit, or shave off a bit from the top and bottom. I have some closet doors that I built that I need to reduce their length to make the guides fit a bit better. And so, when I have time, thats one more on my list to do. When I am doing 1 1/2 thick material, I will use the router and take off a bit more than half way through and then come back with a flush trim bit and get the other side.

@marcellemay7721 Год назад

@@Ron-no4tp I've been a contractor for 40 years, getting ready for retirement myself. I don't even own a big heavy shop table saw, it just takes up too much real estate in my shop.. I do have a 10" job site table saw that I use If I have many rips to do, I'll bring that to the job. But, honestly, I prefer cutting sheets of plywood with a good straight edge with some clamps and a good corded circular saw, good blade is all you need and good saw horses with 2x4s on top, will get that job done easily, and alone with no help. Struggling with a full 3/4" sheet of finished plywood solo on a table saw is a hassle. As a contractor, I try to travel light. But for guys that are working on a budget, or have limited space, you can get table saw quality cuts on a very small budget and put it all away in a small space. I see so many shop wood workers that don't have a good $120 circular saw but they have a $2000 table saw. I've made lots of Built ins in homes with nothing more than a circular saw, a miter saw, a portable table saw, Most of the time, I don't even need a router.

@ranckie Год назад

Great tip and I'll keep it in mind that next time I'm faced with that issue. Another tip if one wanted to increase the accuaracy when measuring from the table edge to the saw blade, simply place a long straight edge (12" to 15") against two of the saw teeth to widen the area of the measurement when checking for parallelism.

@deany5709 2 года назад

I always prefer the table saw because it's more accurate. But I don't have a trailer. And my jeep won't fit a full sheet of plywood. Surprising, my brother-in-laws Toyota minivan has a *PERFECT* fit for plywood. Who knew. Anyway, broke down and got a tracksaw. And I got the square edge and parallel guides. Pricey, yes. But now I can cut it up *perfectly* in the parking lot and bring home pieces that are ready to go. But i *LOVE* your problem solving videos. As soon as you measured the sheet, I smiled and gave myself a "could have had a v8" knock to my head. Thanks, I now have another method that I can keep in my toolbox.

@InspireWoodcraft 2 года назад

I think the first time I seriously considered buying a track saw was when I had the Home Depot cut some sheets in half so I could fit them into my Yukon. The panel saw that they use wasn't square, and for some reason I didn't think to check before I started breaking the sheets down for my project. Messed everything up. But instead of a track saw, I bought a truck. Haha

Good trick. You could use double sided tape on the backside with a runner in the miter slot for the same cut. It probably wouldn't help much for cutting plywood perfectly in half length wise, but it would work for a 36 inch cut like this.

@JesseHelton 2 года назад

I think the increased distance of the edge of the table vs the miter slot gives more precision. And double-sided tape will have just enough torsion play that it would be easy to wiggle the hanging end of the plywood back and forth as you travel. The clamps seem to provide reliable stability to not have any torsional wiggle, as long as you maintain pressure towards the table edge

Simple, no bs, quick, informative. I hope more sponsors “pay” attention to you and more viewers find your channel. What you are teaching is indispensable. New follower. Cheers.

I have never seen something like that before ... dear lord, its so easy, obvious and i never thought of it! Kudos to you for sharing

Amazing! Wish I had watched this video in 1978 😃

Good trick, i will definitely be using it. However, in this case, I would have just clamped a straight edge and used the router though, eliminates having to manhandle a large sheet and a potential wobble when cutting it.

Yeah it was more to show the technique. I think a lot of people tried watching without listening though, as per the norm. I will add though that for me it would take longer to setup the router than just to do this. But that's because my router is in the lift, so I would have to get it out, change the bit, and so on.

MUCH easier just to use a plane. Cleaning up timber is what is what they were specifically designed for.

That is a great tip to share for those that did not know of it. Luckily for me, my father taught me that trick some 50 years ago and I have used it several times on my small capacity table saw. Since I bought a decent hand held circular saw I prefer to clamp a straight board on top of the stock piece to guide it if I can. My circular saw has no wobble like yours.

Very simple solution to a common problem, my hats off to you.

Another option is a straight edge and a router! Super clean cut on both edges and a perfect 90 degrees.

@waltermasterson6135 2 года назад

For cleaning up an edge, a router would be simpler and easier, especially with something heavier, like an MDF panel

This is a great presentation of a classic solution to the 'small table' problem. Well done.

@robertgundersen84 2 года назад

What about use a straight egde with 2 clamps and use a router with a template bit.Will come out sraight and square.

@jptobin84 2 года назад

I tried this last week and it works great. It takes a little extra math, but I was able to make a good straight cut beyond the rip capacity of my jobsite table saw. In fact, it worked so well, that I thought the opposite end was straight, but ended up reversing the board and cutting the opposite end to get a nice square piece.

@jackieking1522 2 года назад

Amazing..... until the cutting actually started I was just bewildered and now I feel like some sort of construction expert.

oh this is super, I got couple hold down clamps make a jig so dont have to mess with hand clamps. love this

@Roy-ij1wq 2 года назад

I use a similar method on my radial arm saw to joint an edge or preserve a natural edge. I built the front table so that the front edge is perfectly parallel to the fence and clamp a straight edge in the same way that is shown in the video. This works best on wide boards using a narrow straight edge I position the carriage with as much of the board on the table as possible.

@victorhopper6774 6 месяцев назад

hinge a support board out from your front edge and hinge a board from that one to the floor . that way you can have full support of a plywood sheet

If your miter gauge is parallel to your blade u could’ve measured from that and not limited to 8-9” measuring from your blade ,overcoming challenges is so much fun ,awesome job 😎

Just getting used to ways to improve use on table saw, this is by far the simplest idea that I probably would not of thought of on my own, super cool dude, thanks.

@tomnietz4158 2 года назад

For those without a large table saw. I use a BORA NGX 50” clamp edge, $49 and a 4.5” Porter Cable circular saw. The clamp can be set to any length and the over center cam lock secures the straight edge. A 4.5” saw is much easier to do this kind of cabinetry work. Wish my shop were as clean as yours.
