Another thing that helps prevent the saw blade from moving the wood is to use a correct miter blade with between -5 degrees to +5 degrees rake to stop blade grab. Most table saw blades are like 15 degrees. In fact some blades even mark for miter use are 15 degrees.
Hi Dave! That's a pure genious solution. Is there any chance to use a jig like this to make smal rip cuts on a miter saw? I have read for instance that rip cuts on a miter saw is not safe, so I'm confused... Greetings from Brazil, thanks.
Thanks for the compliment. Generally whenever I need to make a rip cut on a small piece I use a bandsaw. I think I could make a modified version of my miter saw jig to allow safe ripping of small stock. The wood will have to be anchored so the blade rotation can't lift the piece of wood. Will look into it. Thanks for the idea.
I believe I have the same tabke saw as you, the ridgid r4512. I was wondering what or where did you get your 0 clearance insert?? Also how is your fence mine never seems to stay square
