Thanks for the "..sorry that doesn't have anything to do with the video.." part, this is going to help me while I'm waiting for my CA glue accelerator to arrive. Great video and insert idea.
That's a different idea, good thinking! If you make another though, please don't cut the riving knife kerf as you did at 5:00, that's a...questionable cut. 😐 Instead, leave the original insert in place on the saw, push the new one through as you would any normal cut, (using a pushstick which gives downward and forward pressure), then back it out, or turn the saw off once your new insert is positioned fully on top of the one in the saw. I don't mean to self promote, but I'm trying to explain the process I used here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IsBQb9G6IEA.html Once again, great idea, I've wanted an insert to use specifically for angled cuts but couldn't think of a good design, think this is the one I'll go for! 👍
So glad I found this!! I was just planning to make a zero clearance insert tomorrow, but was thinking I am going to have to make one for angled cuts too.... And now I don't have to! Great video!! This idea might be useful on a crosscut sled too....
The adjustable plate is friggin genius man! Love the CA glue tip, totally worth the amount of time you 'rambled' about it 😉! I may use this & modify it for my miter saw
Good job, Josh! You put a lot of thought into it. (The accelerator trick was cool. I was concerned that the liquid would be absorbed by the wood and cause swelling issues.)
Don't be sorry about sharing that CA glue idea. I had no idea about that. That's great! As far as how you were going to keep the sliding piece in place, I thought you were going to use rare earth magnets. I guess that's another possible idea you could use if you want a more tool-less design with no screw heads showing up on the top surface.
Excellent design, Josh. I've been wanting a few plates for my Delta, but the ones available online are just too expensive. Now, with your basic design and tips, I feel like I can make my own plates. Thanks for sharing this video and design.
2:26 fyi ... water .. just water alone will work as a CA glue accelerator. Its not as fast as the fast evaporative stuff, but it also doesnt cause expansion, or extreme heat either. (CA glue and chemical accelerators get hot enough to melt things like glass, aluminum. )
Genius idea! 👍 Wouldn't it be great if each of the manufacturers made an insert plate like this as standard. No! but they will sell you one as an optional upgrade! 😕
The moving part could buckle up in summertime, or if created at that time will become lose in winter bc of expansion/contraction. And what’s with that huge square gap left by the sliding part to its right, that’ll be able to catch moving material (06:20)?!
I don’t understand how you adjust it. While it’s in place or do you take it out? And how do you determine how much you need it open? Sorry if this seems obvious; I have much to learn.
If I'm just changing the angle, I don't have to take out the plate to adjust it. I just tilt the blade to whatever angle I want, losen the bolts on the movable piece, and slide it left until it touches the blade so there is zero clearance. Then I can tighten down the bolts again to fix it in that position. If I want to change from a normal blade to a dado stack, I fist have to take off the insert plate so I can change out the blade. Once I have the normal blade replaced with a dado stack, I loosen the insert plate bolts, move the movable peice all the away to the right so the opening is big as possible, then fit the insert plate back into place on the saw. Once it is back on, I move the movable peice left again until it touches the blade, then I can tighten the bolts back down to fix it into position.
I subscribed, liked, hit the bell… all that, right after - the ‘freeze w annotations’ for each piece. So tired of watching great woodworking, with zero details being shared on screen and even the lazy voice over method. IF YOU CHOOSE to integrate a camera to your woodworking process… remember, it’s about sharing knowledge and the same attention to detail that’s going into project - needs to applied to the video tutorial. thanks a bunch for the baking soda tip. Cheers!
if the chisel blade is flat and the surface of the table saw is flat, and he runs the chisel along the table saw surface, the only thing that will be removed is the tape and the table saw surface will be unscathed
