Excellent video Kriss. I am quite impressed with your methodology and even more by your apparent commitment to precision and accuracy. Make more videos.

@toolify 7 лет назад

Thank you!

@Stan7670 7 лет назад

Hey. To prevent kickback when cutting the dowel place it on two pieces of scrap that form an "L" and span the gap in the saw.

@stephenliverman815 7 лет назад

man, you are incredible:) beautifully done. You're bringing a nice edge to woodworking videos--so precise and inventive

@_cb336 7 лет назад

No one's mentioned the OG salt trick. Sprinkle a little table salt on the glue when you're laminating. The salt granules help prevent the surfaces from sliding out of alignment when you apply clamping pressure. Works a treat :)

@micssticksnpipes 7 лет назад

I cut dowel with Japanese fine tooth saw. Works well for me!

@willemkossen 7 лет назад

I collect my dust on the floor and every other surface in the shop. Works a charm. If you drill relief holes inside the cirkel your holesaw can get rid of the shavings easier. That helps. Try it. I cut my dowels on a hand mitresaw. Its used in one of my videos. Also, james wright restored a similar one a while ago in one of his videos. Works great. But seriously, i think you will need to make a special jig that holds the dowel. If you do, please share ;)

@jeremiah3543 7 лет назад

You guys should check this guys home made recorders and how he plays them! It's amazing! Talent!

@PhilipJongejan 7 лет назад

Re: cutting dowels - If you have a small hacksaw, that is a good way to cut dowel. However, if you must use a power tool, the best portable tool for the job is an oscillating multitool with a high tooth count attachment. Festool sells their Oscillating Tool "Vecturo OS 400" model for close to $450 US, but it comes with a free t-shirt! Make sure the dowel is secured or the blade will grab it and the dowel will simply buzz around without getting cut... no good. But if the dowel is secured properly, this tool makes a great, clean cut.

@toolify 7 лет назад

Hmm... sarcastic or not, that sounds like a cool idea. You can't beat the free t-shirt :P

@PhilipJongejan 7 лет назад

No sarcasm on the methodology. A little bit of sarcasm may have accidentally slipped out regarding the cost of the festool version :-) I really appreciate your videos.

@OneManBandWoodworks 7 лет назад

Philip Jongejan that same tool is $1800 here in Australia, you guys have got it good there.

@PhilipJongejan 7 лет назад

My mother is in Alice Springs this week on holiday. You should have let me know earlier -- I could have had her deliver one to you. I would have sold it to your for the bargain basement price of only $1499.99!!! (Plus shipping and handling)

@nevyn6071 6 лет назад

Tape up the hole for changing the blade. This improves the dust collection and I find you can actually see the dust being sucked back towards the blade. Also cut over a sacrificial sheet this helps support off cuts and also improves dust collection. I also noticed you started the saw in the sheet. Get a longer track and start and plunge the saw before the sheet edge as I find this greatly improves both the dust collection and the quality of the cut. To my way of thinking tracks should be approx 600mm longer than the length to be cut eg 1.2m needs a 1.8m track, 2.4m needs 3.0m if you are cutting to the full dept capacity of your saw. This allows 300mm over hang on both sides of the material.

@jspallin 7 лет назад

As always, a well put together video. I almost never clean up the factory edge like that, only when my cut list requires that I utilize that much of the sheet and I try to lay things out such that I have have a little more waste. If I need a piece say 4" wide, the first cut is made at 4.25" (or a little more) with the second cut referenced from the first at 4". That way I don't have to deal with long unbounded cuts. Also, given that plywood is often set on its side on less than clean floors the edge can easily pick up dirt, metal filings, etc. By having 1/8"+ of waste I'm not running my saw blade through any junk that may prematurely dull it. As someone else mentioned, pin nail before you clamp to avoid parts shifting when you apply clamp pressure. For those without a pin nailer, either spread a few grains of sand on the glued surface or drive a couple small finishing nails into one of the glue surfaces and then cut the heads off leaving about 1/16" of an inch. Then align and clamp away! If you haven't done so already, check out the Wood Whisperers wood taps.

@terichampion1165 8 месяцев назад

I used my track saw for the first time today and I experienced just what you did when cutting the edge of my white oak. I was very disappointed that there was so much dust after all the hype of the cordless mini. I thought because the suction is not great but now I am glad to see it was just not me.

@TheRussianWoodworker 7 лет назад

Great video Kriss! Happy to see jay you're posting more often!

@toolify 7 лет назад

Thanks Anthony!

@LDBWoodworking 3 года назад

Thanks for a great video. I was busy trim cuts of 2mm on a bunch of MDF panels and the dust escaping to the side was very bad. I made use of your idea and with the dust collector connected to the plywood, lots of dust escaped from the port at the back of the saw. I think you split your dust pipe to connect to both the the saw as well as the hole in the plywood. I used my second festool extractor ( a CTL SYS) to connnect to the plywood and the CTL 26 at the back. Absolutely no dust escaped. The best trim cuts in MDF I have ever done. Thank you for the idea!!

@toolify 3 года назад

Awesome! Thanks for sharing :)

A quick wooden V block would be my best advice for cutting round stuff on a miter saw.

I squared up some MDF. I was not happy with the results. Dust everywhere. Guess I'll be making this (with hole saws). Thanks so much for the free plans.

@musicbymark 3 года назад

Fine video, as always. Easy to cut dowels on miter saw, just support them w/ a strip of wood; 1/8" thick for smaller dowels, and several times the width, leaning over the dowel/trapping it against the fence.

@532bluepeter1 7 лет назад

I have a Festool TS55 and the dust extraction on an open cut is definitely sub optimal. Serendipitously I have some surplus 5/16" steel rods so I feel that one of these is in the offing. Thank you. Now if I may, though you are clearly a very capable fellow, I will have the temerity to make a few suggestions:- 1. An expansive bit will allow you to drill a large range of odd sized holes for occassions such as this. 2. When clamping laminae together maintain the alignment of the parts by clamping glue blocks across the edges of the joint. By applying vinyl parcel tape to the blocks they are easily removed once the joint has set. 3. Taping a thread into plywood is not a durable design. it would be better to screw in a threaded insert. These are commonly available with an M6 female thread. 4. I have watched in horror very many videos on youtube of American woodworkers using table saws without guards. ( I am British) When using my DeWalt mitre saw however I invariably hold the stock material by hand and have not encountered the problem of dowels being thrown though I would suggest that to cut small dowels such as this that the tooth pitch on your saw blade is too great allowing the dowel to be caught in the gullets of the blade and thrown. Try a blade with more teeth. I hope that these help. The thumbscrews are a good idea. Where did you obtain the caps for the Allen cap head screws?

@toolify 7 лет назад

Hey Jack. Thank you for the well worded thoughts - I really appreciate it. Always looking to learn and improve, and you're helping me do just that.. Hope you do get to building this! To answer your question I obtained the thumbscrew caps from Lee Valley. You'll see they come in a few different styles bit.ly/2obPh7z

@bertv1205 7 лет назад

Hole saws are terrible, I concur. But you can improve upon using them by drilling a few holes right up to the circumference with a brad drill or such. This enables dust to escape and prevents burning. Also makes it easier to remove the waste.

@toolify 7 лет назад

That sounds like an excellent idea! Can't believe it never occurred to me to do that.

@mikescncshop 7 лет назад

Two things. If you are cutting a lot of dowels, route a round bottom groove (sized for your dowel) in a section of 4/4 hardwood long enough to reach the clamps on each side of your blade. Clamp the board against the saw fence, groove side down. The dowel should be able to slide through when the board is clamped in place. The first cut will establish the saw kerf through the board giving you something to measure from. A flop stop would probably work best with this. Of course there is always the bench hook and hand saw method. I like to soak wooden threads with thin CA glue. After it dries completely, run the tap back through to clean out the excess. This method even produces strong threads in MDF.

@drmkiwi 7 лет назад

Good idea, I usually just remove more than the width of the kerf (because often the dings and damage is greater than 3mm). The downside of course is you lose a bit more of your sheet!

@MD-en3zm 4 года назад

Same - or I just cut it oversize and then do the final cuts on the table saw.

@Anthropo 7 лет назад

Put a scrap piece of timber against the fence with the dowel in front and cut. Good work!

@jujurock64 7 лет назад

slow the speed down on your saw. or cover the dowl with a larger sacrificial scrap. works like a charm.... great video

@das250250 4 года назад

Solution for rod cutting ..a. run a square rabbit grove in a sacrificial piece of wood around the size of rod and place Rod in the grove . Tape down rod and cut . B. Tape down across cutting point rod on a piece of wood and cut across tape

@terichampion1165 8 месяцев назад

Great idea and loved your humor.

@waionpaingsoe4231 3 года назад

For the dowel, you have to chop downward I think. Sliding cut push the free piece inward and cause kick back.

@eideticgoone7035 4 года назад

At 11:33 you mention the minor issue of "a little bit of sawdust escaping at the start" of the cut. I believe this happens because the plunge begins cutting at the blade center-line, above and behind the vacuum extraction port. The dust has nowhere to go at that point except up and along the top of the work piece until the plunge brings the saw teeth into the cylinder of the vacuum port. If this is more than a minor concern, there are multiple ways to deal with this. Perhaps just blocking the exit, or extending the port shallowly back towards the blade center-line. In any event, I thoroughly enjoyed this build.

@willie_roman 7 лет назад

To prevent dowl kickback, use a scrap piece of wood the length of your dowl to sandwich the dowl against the wall of the miter fance.

@brothyr 7 лет назад

About the dowel, a sacrificial fence will help but that's likely to interrupt the dust collection.

@theorganguy 7 лет назад

Dowels are free-hand cut upside-down on a jigsaw of course...

@nevyn6071 6 лет назад

When cutting delicate materials on a mitre saw put a full width piece of timber across the fence. preferably 50mm or 2inch thick. this does 2 things it fully supports the material and also as you shouldnt slide the mitre saw into the material and only pull it straight down it makes the angle of the cutting surface of the blade closer to right angles to the fence, there for pushing into the the 50mm piece of timber. This method can also be use for cutting grooves in timber by making sure the timber across the fence is the same width as the lowest part of the saw blade when it is hard against the fence. Another Idea for just cutting dowels might be to do as I said above with the timber but rip a 45 degree angle along the bottom of it. Not too deep but just enough that the dowel sits in it and you can hold it at the same time. Remember cut slow, stop the blade in the down position, don't clamp the off cut side as a mitre saw is just an upside down table saw and we all know what happens on a table saw when a cross cut gets jambed between the rip fence and the blade. A pencil mark is just as good as a stop when it comes to repeat cuts and is also safer with little to no risk of the stop moving. In the festool manual they call the action you should be using for dowels a chopping action. The fence adjustment you should make in the manual is 13.1 Auxiliary stop but Id run timber straight though then cut it with the saw to give zero clearance. Also check out page 19 in the supplemental manual.

@devinrichter9840 7 лет назад

This makes me want to get a track saw even more now. Regarding dowel cutting, if the dowels are 1/2" (13mm) or smaller, I prefer to use my chainsaw. I find the control and near finish ready cut ideal (sarc).

@Wood_Slice 3 года назад

You have some impressive ingenuity. Where have you been? Have not seen anything recent hope you are doing well.

@neilwhiteside949 4 года назад

Hello Chris. Are you still creating great videos? I ask because I haven't seen you on RU-vid

@harolddevoe6905 7 лет назад

use a wood fence and base attached to the miter saw, limit the depth of cut then only a gap equil to the saw kerf will exist thus supporting the whole length of the dowel

@tengelgeer 7 лет назад

6:55 If you drilled a smaller hole in the cutting edge of the hole saw you would have had no problem at all :) All dust can just escape there instead of clogging up the saw.

@AndreaArzensek 7 лет назад

tengelgeer great tip!

@crobianman8055 7 лет назад

When cutting dowel or other thin material on a sliding mitre saw (or any other saw), place a piece of wood behind it for support. For dowel, it's just as easy to use a hand saw.

@nicholasvezina1100 7 лет назад

cut dowels on miter saw with any blade by simply adding a full support backer piece. in your case something 2 inches or wider by the length of the saws fence long and even tiny pieces will stay put

@fatdogslow8011 5 лет назад

Cut a 'v' groove into a an off cut of timber along its length to sit the dowel in for cutting on your mitre saw. If you make it over 45 degrees you'll get more grip and its less likely to spin/move.

@tf1977sled 7 лет назад

Hmm i have a huge pile at the base of all my machines. Never cared to clean up. Smells good. Only time i clean up is to occasionally brush the scales to see.

@mversantvoort 7 лет назад

Decent video, but here's a three tips: 1. Get a table saw, I know you mentioned one time that they scare you, but if you have the money for all these Festool tools (and you told us you weren't given them), get a SawStop or Bosch Reaxx or something, those things are safer than a drill really 2. Spread the glue with your fingers, unless you're afraid of getting your hands dirty, in which case you shouldn't be doing woodworking in the first place 3. Maybe hold the dowel at the miter saw, no chance of kickback, but again, get a table saw, I've been cutting hundreds of 4 cm long dowels with it, and even cut a groove halfway through on all of them, no problem

@mrBDeye 5 лет назад

Cut dowels with utility knife. Roll the dowel on workbench while blade is on the pencil mark. Snap the dowel at the mark.

@mitchwoodwork 7 лет назад

Nice solution! For the dowel cutting on a mitre saw, just poke them through a hole in a batten and slice through to a depth that just severs the dowel. Oh yes, remind us how much that track saw costs, given that it doesn't include such a device as standard, when said device would cost less than a dollar to include 😂

@AndreaArzensek 7 лет назад

Put a scrap piece behind the dowel on the mitersaw or make zero clearance fence. Cheers

@johnlysic6727 6 лет назад

Hey, I liked this clever video very much. Dust control is something i think about as well and i really like your solution. - thank you

@frankschafer1505 7 лет назад

ah nice. have never seen that before. thanks!

@toolify 7 лет назад

I've tried that one. I feel that this active vacuum/hose approach does a better job.

@nopreceja 7 лет назад

I have that one. But the solution with masking tape is working more efficient when i tested it. Just tape the bottom of the saw (the tape will end under the saw) and also tape all the holes one the side of the saw. Bye

@doubledarefan 7 лет назад

~11:57 BYOB (Build Your Own Bandsaw). With the tools you already have, that should be a piece of cake.

@MrGinocon 6 лет назад

hi, make some kind of hold down piece by making a rabbit on the size of the dowel plus the thickness of a paper. Use like a piece of wood of 2x3 that can be clamped at the edge of the mitersaw and cut of piece can slide below the rabbit. that is how i cut small pieces from dowels.

@markcopple2870 3 года назад

Great video. better than my idea. I have a quick / dumb question...... I downloaded your pdf. I have never printed out plans like this before. Can I just buy legal sized (North America) sized paper and print this out? Or must I go to a special printer? thanks again!

@warrensmith2902 7 лет назад

Great video as always. Try clamping the dowel on both sides of the cut. Also look on the internet, there are some nice jigs shown on the internet for doing this with a table, band saw, ora scroll saw. Enjoy

@luciancaliman1617 7 лет назад

Du hast mal wieder eine gute Idee gehabt. Und Du kannst sehr gut und ruhig erklären. Wenn Du schon ein rundes Werkstück mit der Kappsäge schneiden musst, dann schieb das abzuschneidende (linke Seite) Stück in ein etwas größeres Rohr (kann auch ein quadratischer Querschnitt sein), und mach das dann fest. so knallt nichts mehr durch die Gegend. Aber eine neue Bandsäge macht doch viel mehr spass ;-)))

7 лет назад

Smart jig! But you can also put a second strip of plywood near your edge :)

@mralh03 7 лет назад

IF and WHEN you cut dowels on a miter saw, three things need to be done. First secure the dowel on both ends. I see that you have two hold downs so your all set.Second,cut slowly downward! You are trapping the dowel with the fence and table by cutting this way, NOT sliding into the dowel or really any small item you would be trying to cut(but shouldnt be-ITS JUST NOT SAFE!). And third n most important-get a bandsaw!

I was thinking of staring at Christmas with a nice thing: I'd like to ask you for an autógram with a festoolous greetings: my husband's name is Gábor. please tell me that he would do that favor, because if not because of the proximity of Christmas I would think otherwise. Welcome to your wife's fan

@jimmymack9440 7 лет назад

Awww... come in a couple of mm so the saw is cutting both sides of the blade, this will also reduce the chance of blade deflection and an out of square edge - Double win :)

@AndreasSchlitzkus 6 лет назад

You say it! And no need for a solution for an artificial made problem :-)))

@luke9822 4 года назад

There are situations in which there is no "extra" to spare on the sheet of plywood - such as with building kitchen cabinets and you need as close to full half sheets as you can get. Of course the jig is not needed when you're in a situation when it is not needed, but that doesn't make this a made up problem.

@russellparker4568 6 лет назад

@mgildersleeve 6 лет назад

I often use the miter saw, but let off the trigger before I think it will cut through. It’s easy to get a feel for. As the blade slows down, finish the cut. Then let the blade come to a stop before you raise it. Of course, try at your own risk, but I don’t get problems this way.

@brenttaylor4785 6 лет назад

Great videos as usual. By the way where did you get the bit guard for your routertable. As for the kickback let the blade stop completely or use a pullsaw. B

@bennemien7593 6 лет назад

preventing kickback is possible by pushing down the loose end of the dowel appropriate... use some piece of scrap.

@samibouzeyene6112 5 лет назад

Hi, nice video! What was the device you used to connect the router to the MFT table and that dust collection for the router?

Unfortunately, Dewalt no longer get. would this router Makita also can RT0700C?

@toolify 7 лет назад

It should fit fine. Just be sure it's well secured to the MFT

What's that thing called used to mark the centre of the holes?

zero clearance fence would allow you to cut smaller pieces like dowels on a miter saw. Btw, it's sacrilege to use imperial fasteners on a jig for a tool made using metric standards... If you use them metric based tools, then get used to that simple to use and understand metric sizing. :-)

@toolify 7 лет назад

Believe me, I'd love to use metric fasteners but they're quite difficult to come by over here. Also, you might have heard that Festool is actually now switching over to Imperial scales in the US + Canada... so they won't be metric for long. I know, we're broken :(

I have this saw and i have alternative solution which is cheap and fast. The similar thing can be done using the wide masking tape. Just tape the bottom of the saw (the tape will end under the saw) and also tape all the holes one the side of the saw. I use this method all the time. The secondary dust collection is NOT needed and the results are very very much similar to your results. Bye

Good idea but is is a havy solution. A 3d printed one would be better

For cutting dowels, I use a V-shaped cradle like this www.popularwoodworking.com/wp-content/uploads/12252_5F00_081.jpg For small diameters, I add a piece off the cut out material from making the cradle under my clamp. Good luck

Are there more details on this "router table" setup? It looks like a few accessories tacked on to an mft/3 which would work great for me. Photo of what I'm talking about: www.dropbox.com/s/2ndz4rntcq05i6j/Screenshot%202020-02-12%2021.51.59.png?dl=0
