10+ Ways Prevent Plywood Tearout | Woodworking Tips and Tricks

[@calebscustoms4470]

Great video, lots of good information, and it didn’t take a half hour of my day! Thank you!

[@unclejim2048]

Most people who say blue tape doesn't work are not burnishing their tape. If you want to get the most out of blue tape, burnish it. Use a small piece of wood to force the tape into the fibers of the work piece. Use the corner of the burnisher and rub the blue tape with lots of force several times. I have always gotten an improved cut with little tear out this way.

[@josephkadzban5524]

Great video. Thank you. Straight to the point and very clear. Cheers!

[@victorfinn3782]

Just tried cutting the fibers and taping and it worked wonders, both in 90 and 45 degree angles. Thanks!!

[@zmeebojazz8774]

Thank You. I don't know how many videos that promised to tell me how to clean cut on the table saw but did not you did Thanks Again.!!

[@brookehumphries3515]

Love this! I had been planning to do a faux door casing using paneling, but wasn't sure how well it would cut. Thank you so much for this tip.

[@louisblr]

Excellent explanation!

[@bernarddouthit4647]

I've found that using high-quality clear packaging tape works a bit better than blue masking tape. The adhesive is a bit stronger and it helps to not have to draw a cut line on the outside of the tape. The downside is that the tape can be a pain to peel off when you're finished.

[@jonathand8333]

Dude you just blew my mind. Great tips

[@lydiaderhake2532]

Great tips, especially about circular vs table saw. Thank you!

[@Mr_Rick]

I've used all these techniques mentioned at one time or another but don't use any of them now For years I've only used this one: Set your fence & Raise your blade a little higher than a credit card thickeness. Run your piece back to front over the blade. Use push stick etc., observe all safety as you normally would. You are making a "score cut". Without moving fence, raise your blade high enough to cut completely through your piece as you normally would. Repeat this for all cuts and you will have a crisp sharp edge all the way around. Cheers!

Thanks for the tip

[@RabbiTrogdor]

Your literally using one of his tips, there is just no need to do both sides.

[@TeamPowell1point2]

Thank you! Great video. This is just what I needed.

[@debrarandall6913]

Thanks for the tips! My husband showed me the tape trick years ago. I think it does help. Thanks for sharing your tips. Stay safe and well and GOD bless you and your family. :)

[@kikzology05]

Thanks for the different ideas of cutting, its a big Help 😁😁😁

[@frtdemirel]

So helpful! Thanks a lot.

[@pauldiegelman9710]

I missed seeing your video out takes at the end of the video. You must have had a great day. Please stay safe.

[@SpecificLove7]

We were also surprised to find out that we did not have any outtakes during the video process. Must have had my "A" game that day.

[@j.mccarthy3008]

Those are some great tips!! Thanks

[@robs1873]

Great ideas, I have an idea I can share. I’ve reversed the blade depending on what I’m cutting and that seems to work great. We used to do it a lot cutting old formica countertops

[@SpecificLove7]

I've had it work on thin plastic too. 👍

[@keithbott7978]

It worked, thanks for the advice.

[@wild-hernessaerialist6440]

Oh my gosh thank you! I have been feeling so frustrated trying to make my project look nice.

[@klouis1886]

Nice tips! Thank you

Unless you try out the innovations, you cannot learn something new. And you are always working to teach innovations. And you always produce innovative studies and ideas. Thank you for sharing. See you. greetings.

Thank you very much

[@joonyaboy]

This just happened to me and great timing in the tips.

[@SpecificLove7]

Glad to help!

[@michaelbirchall2247]

Thank you!

[@JG24AJ]

Just pondering on what profound words I can use in a comment that I haven't used yet. I've noticed you using tape before. However I myself never knew any of this till your videos. Thank you for sharing we all need hints & tricks. You folks have a safe & Mery Christmas.

[@SpecificLove7]

Thanks, Anthony, I'm glad you liked it. Have a Merry Christmas.

[@mikekayser1578]

I watched your how to prevent tear-out cutting plywood. I noticed you seem to have an older model craftsman saw. I have the same or very similar one. My question is, what is the object on the back of the saw table? Some kind of clamp on a metal rod sticking out the back of the table top. I have the same thing on mine, but no idea what it is for. Thank you for any help you can provide

[@QODQDJQ3232]

The use of our Kunlun tooth saw blade, can be perfect to do not burst the edge does not break

[@arthandmade741]

Great video!

Any tips for hand saws, please?

[@MoranGuyVideos]

I have a circular saw blade from Freud . model D0740X Diablo 7-1/4-inch 40T ATB. I don't know what are you talking about tear out. I cut pine, plywood , practical boards and MDF - didn't notice any. anyway nice video and some of the methods can be helpful when using a jigsaw.

[@SpecificLove7]

That is true, some of these can be used with a jigsaw. The tear out seems to happen more with a hardwood plywood than with pine plywood but it can still happen. You must have really good technique.

[@ethanb2554]

3:00 Genius!!

[@HelmetVanga]

what size of a circular saw is better suitable for cutting playwood and what size of Blade? is Bosch a good brand?

[@SpecificLove7]

The brand of the saw is not a big factor (unless you get the bottom of the line). As for the blade, on plywood it is better to have the most teeth as possible.

[@ValioMadre7]

Can't go wrong with Harbor Freight.

[@andrewholmes8570]

This one probably should hopefully be common sense, but I didn't hear it in the video: Make sure your saw is sharp. Dull blades on a good day will damage your wood. Dull blades on a bad day will take your fingers.

[@chasein7019]

Thanks. Trying today. I have enough plywood to make multiple attempts.

[@riba2233]

where is your riving knife?

[@chrissfost4114]

Absolutely love this video. Gonna flip my wood and swap the blade for more teeth ☺️ thank you!

[@RealRuler2112]

Masking tape + ZCI + high tooth count blade + sharp blade + high blade + slow feed rate = good cut.

[@AbrahamNeuwelt]

ZCI? 🤔

[@RealRuler2112]

@@AbrahamNeuwelt ZCI = Zero Clearance Insert

[@easterlake]

If at all possible plan your project to cut your dado with the grain. This will do more than all other suggestions combined .

[@SpecificLove7]

Very true, but sometimes across is the only way.

[@truci_raverus6602]

Can you make a tutorial on the marshmallow launcher in the background of you 960 fps launcher video? The one that looks like a grenade launcher? If so, that would be great

[@truci_raverus6602]

[@roychambers3243]

put two blades in scoring knife saves both sides of cut

[@aarone9000]

How I wish you would refer to measurements in metric! It is more accurate!
