I'm amazed that you still have ten fingers! Why did you not pull the sled back from the spinning blade? Your fingers were within 50mm for no reason! 🥺

Yeah I need to be better about safety. I have a sawstop saw there, and it probably gives me a false sense of safety, but you’re right I should be more careful and not develop bad habits just because it’s a sawstop.

I see so many saw tables used on YT without guards over the blades.

This is really cool, can I assume these dice would come out the size of your normal sets you would by at your local store or online

@@FUNKINETIK there is a reason for that. Cheaper saw brands make you choose between having an over blade guard and having the back protection blade in place if you want to sink the blade. Not having that however is nasty with kickbacks and totally unsafe, so people cut the back knife down to allow sinking the blade with this still in place, but this removes the option to attach the blade cover. By the look of it, his is cut down too.

@@MadMakerWorkshop think i know what you mean… bolting the crown guard onto the riving knife isn’t a great set up. I loved using the Dim (Dimension) Saw in the joinery workshop in technical college many years ago. Such an accurate machine, Wadkin & Bursgreen, of course the guard was fitted to a boom arm totally independent from the saw blade set up.

Hola Podrías por favor explicar cómo se calcula la distancia desde la plantilla a la sierra? He leído la explicación anterior, pero no consigo entenderla. Muchas gracias

I'm. Gona get that book your video inspired me, I have no need for that figures but make jigs develop creativity

Thanks for sharing this! It's both smart and simple. However, I’m a bit confused about the blade positioning. Each face has two lines-how exactly do you position your blade in relation to these lines? Thank you.

I ordered a copy of Hiroshi Nakagawa's book and am hoping it will solve my conundrums once it arrives, however, I'm looking to use your explanation here to make a d12 dice out of stone using a tile saw. I cannot for the life of me figure out what the length from the right angle to the saw blade is. I know I need a 90 degree angle corner there, but where to place it is escaping me. Is there a calculation you used? I know I start with a 21 mm cube, and I think I have found the angle in your video, but where to put the other back stop on my jig is unknown. I'm looking for the perpendicular measurement from the saw blade to that right angle so that the flat of the saw blade and a line drawn from the saw blade to that corner would be 90 degrees. If you have that measurement handy from your jig, along with the side of the cubes with which you start I could certainly work backwards and figure it out. Also, I see the book has pentagonal trapezohedron and icosahedrons. Are they shown on a table saw as well? Those are the two I can't quite figure out yet as far as jig making, though I'm technically working on an octahedron (I think I can figure that one out fairly easily.

I didn’t show it in this video, but the jig is able to be adjusted about 2” perpendicular to the saw blade and locked in place. So it can cut a range of dodecahedrons from about 1” up to 2 and1/2”. I adjust the distance by making two cuts on one face of the cube, when the original square face of the cube is just barely cut away then that is the right distance for that size of cube.

Would your be able to use the same method to create icosahedron?

Any order to follow when making the cuts?

@stephenschiller Жыл бұрын

It's not my video, but I have gone through a similar process with my table saw and miter saws -- So, yeah, order does make a difference for two reasons: First even though he doesn't say much about orienting the nascent dodecahedron for each cut it is very easy to make mistakes,and having a definite order will help. Second, his support (the cutout where he places the wood for cutting) doesn't match the shape of the wood very well after several cuts. So you note he has to be very careful about getting in there and clamping it correctly after a while. For soft wood that's fine, but for a hard wook it's likely to be pulled out of true during the cut. The order can help with this by making all the cuts to the same "half" of the doda first and then you only have to be careful at the end. My solution though was to have two jigs for cutting: one like the one above and one that has bevels that match the doda.
