FastCap "zero clearance" strips are a winner. Thanks for the tip!

[@jimbryant2157]

A couple of months ago, I was finely tired of tear out on my miter saw - not only on the bottom, but also against the fence. I installed the Zero Clearence Tape on the throat plate and a zero clearance fence and now I have absolutely perfect cuts from my miter saw. The tape is highly recommended.

[@unclejim2048]

When using your table saw to joint boards, you should not put pressure toward the fence on both sides of the blade unless you have a shim on your exit side the same thickness as the amount of wood you are shaving off. Remember, your jointer outfeed table is higher than your infeed table; hence, you put pressure on the outfeed side as the board exits the cutter head. Your FastCap tape may also be thick enough to be used as the shim -- depends on how much wood you are removing and how thick the FastCap tape is ? Love your tee-shirts. Keep up the good work.

This is cool that the fence clamps and set up blocks are in the same vid. I use them in conjunction on the table saw fence for cross cuts with mitre gauge, this offsets the measurement by exactly one inch making the cut safer. Just add one inch for the set up block.

[@kyleolson8977]

I use the Zero Clearance tape on the Miter saw a bit. It's great and easy. Still, if I bevel I usually have to replace it pretty quick. For that reason, I've got a Colliflower plate coming in the mail which is likely to make it obsolete. I use the Colliflower plate for the SawStop and I'm really happy. I use Magnetic trays, but I recommend the round ones over the square ones because the square ones often have some dead zone at the edge that the round ones don't. 1-2-3 Blocks - What don't they do? The fence clamps like those are fine for sacrificial fences or jigs. Sometimes when I want a quick release variant I'll make larger holes and use table clamps.

[@jfrankcarr]

For that zero clearance tape, maybe I should "borrow" some stick-on vinyl my wife uses for her CriCut projects. After all, she borrows my chisels to open paint cans sometimes.

[@sherrishunk2128]

Lol

[@waguchan2414]

You could borrow her Cricut to try to trim this very thick vinyl to fit your saw. She would have to buy a new blade for her Cricut afterwards. I'm sure that would make her happy.

[@jfrankcarr]

@@waguchan2414 She has the CriCut Maker that will cut balsa and basswood so thick vinyl isn't an issue.

[@bretwhitten7038]

How does the last one joint the board without having to move the material with the wood your jointing

[@parn309driver5]

The only way it would work as a jointer is if the sacrificial fence was long enough to support the entire edge of the board you wanted to joint before it encounters the blade. There are several good videos on making a jointing jig for the table saw.

[@rynepowell2577]

[@JohnLobert]

I’m going to disagree with you on what zero clearance is for on a miter saw. A miter saw cuts on the up-cut, not the down-cut, like a table saw does. If you get tear out on a miter saw, it’s usually because you’re using a table saw blade, rather than a miter saw blade with a negative rake. On my miter saw, I use a zero clearance insert to keep chips from falling down. With or without it, I *never* get bottom tear out.

[@Mike-ou5ps]

Howdy Mr. 731... Cool video, as always. Any thoughts to doing a review on the Bora clamps and Bora straight edge and Tracksaw guide? Hey, what kind of double sided tape do you use? I've tried several. Gorilla D.Tape is good BUT, it's a pain in the rear to remove the backing and if using for several pieces, say, using it on a template to flush cut several pieces...the tape peels off and I have to reapply more tape. Sucks. I tried carpet tape, it's TOO sticky, I end up putting scars on my workpiece taking it off. I've used 3M, but it's too thick, doesn't give me accuracy. I've resorted to using the painters tape and CA glue method. This works great BUT, it's a hassle having to redo it all every time. I need some D. Tape that'll stick to my template ONLY and stay sticky enough to use with another flush cut piece. Not sure why, but the tape I use always stays stuck to my workpiece and not the jig. Perhaps cause the workpiece has grain/pores and my template is plywood or MDF, I dunno. It's frustrating.

[@731Woodworks]

I currently have some a friend gave me. No clue what the brand name is lol. I linked to some in the description that Stumpy Nubbs recommends. I'll check out the Bora tools.

[@chrisbrannan3784]

For ripping the backing off - inspire woodcraft showed a tip where instead of cutting a piece of tape, then peeling it, you always leave a tail of liner hanging off the roll making it easier to separate. So, basically you use the tail to remove the lining from the tape BEFORE you cut your length off. Hope that makes sense/helps.

[@Coxywood]

Just thinking you could combine two of these. If you put that FastCap tape on the out feed side of the sacrificial fence you would have a good offset for your jointer jig!

[@k-cal7148]

It´s a problem here in the US overall. The quality of the machines here is just so much worse compared to (especially) German products. Festool is a great example, they produce cheaper stuff because of the American and Canadian market. They once produced great tools but not anymore. And if you look at DeWalt/SawStop and the rest of US made machines, they are basically overpriced. But it might be useful for hobby woodworker.

[@bowlchamps37]

@@k-cal7148 I know the "cheap stuff" is an American thing. That´s why the majority over there build cabinets from plywood, or houses with drywalls etc. They rather do it cheap but often than expensive and for a lifetime. DeWalt (or Black & Decker) single handedly made companies like Bosch, Makita, Mafell and Festool produce cheaper and cheaper tools at the expense of quality. I just find it weird when they talk about how great a "Saw Stop" or "DeWalt whatever" is when it is totally overpriced and you get much better tools for the same and even less price. Happened in woodworking segment in the last 20-30 years, happened to cars in the 60s. It´s nothing new unfortunately.
