Finally someone showing how to start off the cut before cutting into the wood. Must of looked a 5 vids who were offering tips and tricks for beginners but not one person showed how to plunge correctly when ripping a slab or board Cheers mate that helped me right out .👍😎

@ianparker5007 2 года назад

Watched about 20 vids on this. Best advice here and concise. Thanks man

@californiadaze 3 года назад

There some great tips here, especially for safely cutting pieces smaller than the track (i.e. using off-cuts as support or using double sided tape). Thanks a million!

@CaptainsOrders 4 года назад

track saw is a game changer, go get one, and use these great tips.

@koveebryant1526 4 года назад

Good tips, thank you

Good advice on using the clamps. I don't bother for rough sizing cuts but they get used everytime I make an important cut. I have a small workshop, it's not uncommon for me to make a cut in 2 stages, moving myself and the cables/hose part way through, without clamps this would be near impossible.

Why the almost-full tooth of extra depth instead of a tiny amount of extra depth? Is it for more efficient sawing/dust clearing?

Awesome video! wondering what kind of folding layout square did you use? Where can I get one? I'm new to this.

@finehomebuildingmagazine 4 года назад

Glad you liked the video! The square is a CH Hanson 00345 3 x 4 x 5 - 90 Degree Folding Layout Square. You can find it here: www.toolnut.com/ch-hanson-00345-3-x-4-x-5-90-degree-folding-layout-square.html

good vid

At 2:02 I see Justin making a single cut mark on the plywood. A straight mark can tilt slightly. Then which end of the straight mark should your cut be made? I prefer a V-shaped mark with the apex of the V where my cut should be. Make sure you are cutting on the correct side of the kerf! Thanks

@joshsmithward8848 2 года назад

Never knew why the V works better, thanks!

what are the dimensions of your assembly table?

And how would you handle things with two smaller tracks? I can't seem to ever manage getting things right as they don't solidly align...

@prepr8725 Год назад

great

@jasonfoster9118 Год назад

Looks like they're great for working alone but table saw would be faster with 2 people. The track saw looks very safe though.

I couldn’t quite catch the brand on those Festool track compatible clamps. Let us know who makes them? Thanks!

@caskwith 4 года назад

I think they are Dewalt. I highly recommend the Festool F-style ones though, they are not very expensive, very well built and can be used as standard f-clamps for other jobs. Most track saw clamps are a bit too flimsy for other clamping tasks. I also made myself a set of slide on soft jaws for mine that allow me to use them to clamp MFC cabinets when screwing them together.

RIpping narrow pieces is the hard part. I usually blue tape narrow pieces to another piece. Double stick tape actually seems like something I will use in some cases.

But what if the 3 other corners are out of square? Maybe I am missing some basic geometry but I just don't get why it is only necessary to have only one corner that is 90 degrees. Couldn't we have a trapezoid form with only one corner being square? When doing the rip cuts then I would imagine that if the other 2 corners aren't square then you can risk getting different length of rips, what am I missing here?

@alexanderkaye4105 Год назад

You're right that the other 3 corners won't be square, or at least probably not. However I think the point of his explanation and this video is how to get that *first* corner square, which is the hardest to do since you are really creating the square yourself with no already-squared reference points. Then after you achieve that, by referencing your two straight edges and your one square corner, it would be easy to square all of your other cuts up as you go along, by continually referencing your square points and making new straight and square cuts with each new piece.
