The inclusion of the question of how to insure the right angle to the blade to get the profile made this a stand out, professional vid. Thanks.

[@belapcela]

Awesome. I wish I saw this video earlier today before making few dozens cuts at different blade heights. At least I'll try this to smooth out the steps of the cove I made. Was going to sand them somehow. Thanks for the video!

[@kevintracy7764]

Excellent, thank you.

[@jennifersanchez7647]

This is so perfect, I was looking for a way to create a cove to inset a light fixture I'm planning to build. Informative and to the point!

[@kyleburko5810]

Wow! What an amazing trick! I have not seen this done before and am eager to try it out!

[@Artines999]

Thanks so much 👍

[@eltigredetejas2328]

Actually learning something 💪🏿 new sub

[@logan5824]

Thank you very much. Well done!

[@martinspilovsky9071]

thank you sir than was helpful

[@extreme.4576]

This is a great way to make molding. First time I saw it was on the DIY CHANNEL when David Marks had the WoodWorks Show . I've used it several time and reall enjoy it. Thanks for showing it again.

[@ColinBarling]

Done it myself excellent idea it is works well

[@scupitta9]

Fantastic !!!!!

[@ManotickGuitarTech]

Great video full of the relevant details and easy to follow steps - going to make some guitar neck cauls now... thanks!

[@jnmjnm5831]

Great tutorial.....Amicable.....Instructive......Encouraging...Not sure about the coat.....

[@tobiahdb]

Mind blown.

[@exchaoordo]

Thanks. I'll try it out.

[@russveinot5754]

you make cutting coves look easy, great video. One thing though, If you increase the cutting blade thickness (dado blade or 2 10" blades) the cut gets much easier with less blade vibration. you might try that and let me know if you think it makes a difference.

[@theDIGITALKUNGFU]

I was thinking of the same thing. It would make sense.

[@jeffstanley4593]

Yep and you could have the first blade about 1/64 inch less in diameter to "ease" into the cut. I am of course kidding as this is not practical.

[@skippylippy547]

I'm going to try this method to make a raised panel. Thank you!

[@paulangeli9710]

Wow, that's really clever! I have to try this technique!

[@Workuj]

Wow that helps a lot 👌Thank you 😃

[@CptHiker]

I am absolutely terrified of making this cut. But i reeaaaaallly want to attempt it.

[@Anatinea]

I would NOT recommend using quick clamps here. The vibrations from the saw will cause them to come loose and then cause the whole setup to blow apart on you. C-clamps would be the best choice in this situation, as they've essentially been created to be used with machinery.

[@scor440]

If your tablesaw vibrates that much the saw has big problems.

[@eltacanguita]

Nice idea 👍👍👍👍👍

[@galland3496]

Just started watching your video tonight, and immediately my eye was drawn to the extreme left of the picture. Isn't that what we in the UK used to call a " Kitchenette " way back in the 1950s and 1960. It must be at least 50 yrs since I last saw one of them ! Incidentally thanks for your very interesting video.

[@markh2200]

What is the size of the saw blade? My table saw has a 10" 60T blade, and I appreciate that, according to the Calculator you provided, with a 10" blade I could still do it but would change the angle (fence). If I want boards that are approx the size you used for this vid - or let's say a 2x4 or 2x6 size - would I be better with a 7 1/4 blade, or should I just change my fence angle and use my existing blade? I have seen specialty blades called cove cutter/bead cutter blades but they sellfor nearly $200. I am leaning toward the 7.25" blade instead of the 10". I assume I can put the circular saw blade on a table saw?

[@NeoQJ]

Thank you for the tutorial!

[@andrewkritzer2915]

I found your lesson to be great! What website did you use to calculate the angle and depth to make the cove? I am looking to make a 9.5" and also a 10" cove. Thanks in advance!

[@passenger3]

No reply then ? 🤣🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@bjmxd]

i have to create a cove style crve for someth8ing im making for a local client and i dont knownhow to do ti besides band saw and then sand it to shape but can i run a piece of woof the wider width to create a cove kinda?

[@edejamircosta]

Show......será útil para o meu tipo de trabalho com madeira........valeu!

[@tedh8678]

I did learn the hard way actually by not taken the several times cut ... the stock was jammed and the motor was badly roar, fortunately the only cost was the bent blade while it could've been much worse

[@MikkosFree]

Word of warning though, also put a protective layer of wax of your table saw surface before cove cutting. There is a lot of heat generated from cutting at this angle, and a lot of people have complained that the hot wood actually changes the color of the table saw surface after quite a few pieces, leaving a sort of stain that can only be removed by sanding your top.

in the end you must say Kawa Kawa.... COVE (Y)

[@WV591]

too bad program doesn't calculate radius

[@jeffstanley4593]

It was worth the price of admission to hear his name pronounced. The cove was not centered so your "cove cutting program" is suspect. I mean surely you did not make a mistake in laying out the fences?
