I recently got my hands on a new circular saw, so I made a crosscut jig to get the most out of it. This is the third time I've built one and it's super handy to have in the shop. I think this is the best one so far.

Glen, I have to say the third iteration of this jig is by far my favorite. You've really come a long way in your content and skill. Keep up the great work brother.

@jimh472 6 лет назад

Version 1 of this jig was the very first jig I ever made. I still use it today. Looks like I'll be building an upgrade. Great job.

@gregghernandez2714 4 года назад

I have seen quite a few of these types of jigs being built on You Tube and the reason I like yours the best is that it doesn't require any esoteric materials and is multi functional. Thank you very much for this video.

@robertjpayne 2 года назад

I think your jig is excellent. Simple and extremely useful. Also I like the fact that you started the video showing what you were aiming to achieve so we all knew whether its worth watching (certainly was). Other channels neglect to do that. Good luck from the UK!

@bwillan 4 года назад

This has to be one of the best circular saw cross cut jig's I've seen on youtube to date. Very flexible and extendable design.

@ooMaakIMaaKoo 6 лет назад

The "Where I'm at" picture in the video is an amazing feature! I have never seen anything like this on other RU-vid channels.

@didriksoderstrom9891 2 года назад

Man this is an excellent jig. I’ll definitely be making one as my wife and I are doing a gut reno of our house and we’ll be reinstalling the surviving original trim and replacing damaged/missing pieces. Naturally, all the original trim is like 10” tall and my miter saw can only handle 4”. This will be a huge time and money saver thank you for designing it!

1 question, why did you go with the c channel instead of just the L angle plain steel? you wouldn't have to do such a hard cut that way.

@JacobShepherdEngineer 4 года назад

Thanks so much for this video! This job is what I needed to continue making progress on my trailer build. Instead of the track and miter jigs I printed a template with angles and use a pin to align my piece. I added legs so I could fit clamps underneath and it works great for me.

@sn0wchyld 3 года назад

for your 2 angle attachments, the small angle pieces you have at 7:55 could be made much longer to run along the side of the table, this will make their repeat positioning much more accurate (rather than just allong the short face on the cross cut, can be much longer) and would save you the trouble of squaring up every time you use it.

@bettinanstevens9259 Год назад

I think I see the value in the longer contact area of those pieces but I don't think he is squaring them up every time. Isn't that the whole reason he put them on the bottoms of the angle attachments, so they would align themselves? ***EDIT*** I watched it again, I guess he is checking the angles every time, I see what you are saying.

Hi, I like your desire to do new things. I invented a "Parallel Guided Power Saw" you can see on you tube. Do you wish to partner with me to manufacture my saw? Our saw will replace almost all the saw and router system used so far. All the companies and Bosch declined to license and manufacture my saw. They are afraid of my saw because will dominate the market.

@pirakoXX 3 года назад

@@davidmuresan628 Just watched your video, and I'm really, very, very impressed by this amazing "workbench" you have made And all the different functions it has!! Wauw!! Amazing and brilliant beyond any DIY I've seen! PS: Perhaps some of the big companies have declined it because it's difficult to meet all the safety regulations required by law, when you manufacturing a tool for sale, if you want to keep all the different things it can? Safety is and should be VERY important, of course, but by making your own tools, you don't need it to be 99,9 % "idiot-proof", as you can only sue yourself if you get hurt using it! And especially in the USA, where you can become a multi-millionaire if you have a good lawyer and you get injured. Even if you are using the tool in a completely stupid way! But if you can make specific drawings with all measures of this tool bench, and make a longer and more specific video showing it and demonstrate all the many different things it can do, you can sell the drawings on line to private costumers to make it themselves? But selling the idea to a company, it sure would pay your bills for a long, long time! Good luck - and stay safe (y)

@davidmuresan628 3 года назад

@@pirakoXX For safety you can use all kind of enclosures but will reduce the capability of the saw. I use a saw from a sliding saw and I do not do any modifications from safety point of view. Companies are afraid because this saw will take the market of table saw and router table. I did a lot of improvements, and now I am ready to sell. I am not afraid of suing because that just will make my saw more popular. Also if I will manufacture it, companies will be forced to license from me. I gave drawing to several people for free to build one. I gave for free to companies to manufacture it but they do not want.

@theburnetts 6 лет назад

I have tried 3 times now to make a circular saw crosscut jig. But every time I run in to problems and the cuts just don't come out square enough. When building something like this there are so many places where you have to have materials or cuts that are perfectly straight or perfectly square. First the base must be perfectly square. This is very hard to do without a table saw. Second the routed out area for the T-track must be perfectly square to the end of the base. Difficult to do. Third the risers must be made from perfectly straight and even thickness material. Fourth the risers must be perfectly square to the base and the T-track. Fifth the saw tracks must be perfectly square to the risers (not shown in the video how you did that). When trying to build tracks for my saw I have found it extremely difficult to get the tracks the perfect width so that the saw moves freely but doesn't have too much travel in to so that the saw can't move back and forth - AND - also to get the entire track assembly to be perfectly square to the risers. Very, very difficult for me. Sixth, the edges of the track can't be too high or your saw may not sit properly. I found that with both of my saws when the blade is lowered down to about 2.5 inches then the motor part of the saw lowers down too and it only leaves about 1/4 inch of clearance between the motor housing and the base of the saw. And this wasn't enough clearance to allow the saw to sit down in the track. I really want to get a working crosscut jig so I can start easily cutting square pieces but so far I am having lots of difficulty every time I try.

@GarrisonFall 5 лет назад

You remind me of me. The joints in anything I make always end up somewhere other than the line I measured so I use a lot of wood-filler to hide the gaps. (Measure twice, cut once... every time I measure the number is different!) I can predict how well my version would work if I tried to make it - another abandoned project at the bottom of the shed.

@Clinueee 5 лет назад

If you cannot get table saw why not get track saw? It is explicitly designed for precision cuts needed in woodworking. If money rather than space is problem maybe get one of those systems by kreg or eurekazone that enhance your circular saw enough to at least get straight cuts. Also in jig like this nothing should be squared until you have made kerf on the jig. After the kerf you just need straight fence that will be adjusted square to the kerf. Do not try to use the supports as a fence at the same time. You will never get it to cut square without 5 cut adjustment or similar mathematical method anyway, and if you try to adjust the support based on the adjustment value from those methods it won't work because if you adjust the support you change the trajectory.

@pezr6336 5 лет назад

Maybe a carriage with linear bearings and smooth rods, like the one used in the bed of a reprap 3d printer, it's easier to make the rods parallel.

@philgray1023 5 лет назад

I found that the hardware store will cut the sheet for me. Their saw is super accurate and very clean. I always do that if I need an accurate edge. However since most of my work is on boats there isn't a straight edge on anything, and if I find one I know it's a mistake, unless Starck has been at it first.
