I recently got my hands on a new circular saw, so I made a crosscut jig to get the most out of it. This is the third time I've built one and it's super handy to have in the shop. I think this is the best one so far.

I think your jig is excellent. Simple and extremely useful. Also I like the fact that you started the video showing what you were aiming to achieve so we all knew whether its worth watching (certainly was). Other channels neglect to do that. Good luck from the UK!

for your 2 angle attachments, the small angle pieces you have at 7:55 could be made much longer to run along the side of the table, this will make their repeat positioning much more accurate (rather than just allong the short face on the cross cut, can be much longer) and would save you the trouble of squaring up every time you use it.

@bettinanstevens9259 Жыл бұрын
I think I see the value in the longer contact area of those pieces but I don't think he is squaring them up every time. Isn't that the whole reason he put them on the bottoms of the angle attachments, so they would align themselves? ***EDIT*** I watched it again, I guess he is checking the angles every time, I see what you are saying.

Hi from South Africa. I love your jig. I have made my version 2 already before watching your video and I am planning version 3. My biggest problem were with keeping it square, since it tends to go out over time and from handling, so I have made my risers adjustable with some router slots (they attach on the front and back of the board, rather than on top and is not glued down). I can now move one riser slightly left or right in order to square up the jig. I specifically like that you used steel rather than aluminium for your tracks. Mine tends to bend slightly under the weight of the saw (aluminium). I also love the fact that you used a battery powered saw as I cut of my saw cable on pulling back the saw once after a cut. Two tips I would like to offer, if you ever make V4, is to allow your guides to protrude out of the front by about 10 inches and then (remember your risers are attached from the front) you can cut right through the front riser. Then you have a very nice spot to leave your saw on the tracks out of the way after each cut. My second tip is to use a combo T-Track and Miter Channel since there are a lot of Miter Gauges that you can slot right in there.

They are afraid of my saw because will dominate the market.

Amazing and brilliant beyond any DIY I've seen! PS: Perhaps some of the big companies have declined it because it's difficult to meet all the safety regulations required by law, when you manufacturing a tool for sale, if you want to keep all the different things it can? Safety is and should be VERY important, of course, but by making your own tools, you don't need it to be 99,9 % "idiot-proof", as you can only sue yourself if you get hurt using it! And especially in the USA, where you can become a multi-millionaire if you have a good lawyer and you get injured. Even if you are using the tool in a completely stupid way! But if you can make specific drawings with all measures of this tool bench, and make a longer and more specific video showing it and demonstrate all the many different things it can do, you can sell the drawings on line to private costumers to make it themselves? But selling the idea to a company, it sure would pay your bills for a long, long time! Good luck - and stay safe (y)

I am not afraid of suing because that just will make my saw more popular. Also if I will manufacture it, companies will be forced to license from me.

I have tried 3 times now to make a circular saw crosscut jig. But every time I run in to problems and the cuts just don't come out square enough. When building something like this there are so many places where you have to have materials or cuts that are perfectly straight or perfectly square. First the base must be perfectly square. This is very hard to do without a table saw. Second the routed out area for the T-track must be perfectly square to the end of the base. Difficult to do. Third the risers must be made from perfectly straight and even thickness material. Fourth the risers must be perfectly square to the base and the T-track. Fifth the saw tracks must be perfectly square to the risers (not shown in the video how you did that). When trying to build tracks for my saw I have found it extremely difficult to get the tracks the perfect width so that the saw moves freely but doesn't have too much travel in to so that the saw can't move back and forth - AND - also to get the entire track assembly to be perfectly square to the risers. Very, very difficult for me. Sixth, the edges of the track can't be too high or your saw may not sit properly. I found that with both of my saws when the blade is lowered down to about 2.5 inches then the motor part of the saw lowers down too and it only leaves about 1/4 inch of clearance between the motor housing and the base of the saw. And this wasn't enough clearance to allow the saw to sit down in the track. I really want to get a working crosscut jig so I can start easily cutting square pieces but so far I am having lots of difficulty every time I try.

You remind me of me. The joints in anything I make always end up somewhere other than the line I measured so I use a lot of wood-filler to hide the gaps. (Measure twice, cut once... every time I measure the number is different!) I can predict how well my version would work if I tried to make it - another abandoned project at the bottom of the shed.

If you cannot get table saw why not get track saw? It is explicitly designed for precision cuts needed in woodworking. If money rather than space is problem maybe get one of those systems by kreg or eurekazone that enhance your circular saw enough to at least get straight cuts. Also in jig like this nothing should be squared until you have made kerf on the jig. After the kerf you just need straight fence that will be adjusted square to the kerf. Do not try to use the supports as a fence at the same time. You will never get it to cut square without 5 cut adjustment or similar mathematical method anyway, and if you try to adjust the support based on the adjustment value from those methods it won't work because if you adjust the support you change the trajectory.

Maybe a carriage with linear bearings and smooth rods, like the one used in the bed of a reprap 3d printer, it's easier to make the rods parallel.

I found that the hardware store will cut the sheet for me. Their saw is super accurate and very clean. I always do that if I need an accurate edge. However since most of my work is on boats there isn't a straight edge on anything, and if I find one I know it's a mistake, unless Starck has been at it first.

I thought that your previous Crosscut jigs were great, to the point that I wanted to make one, but haven't found the time to make it. I've being doing all my cuts using a level as my straight edge. However, this one seems to be even better than your previous ones. The only change I will make is to have the router jig on its side instead of modifying the crosscut for that other task. That way I won't lose time doing changes instead of getting to work. It's the same principle of having more than one drill/driver. Keep on bringing the content. You're one of the good ones.

Hi, I like your desire to do new things. I invented a "Parallel Guided Power Saw" you can see on you tube. Do you wish to partner with me to manufacture my saw? Our saw will replace almost all the saw and router system used so far. All the companies and Bosch declined to license and manufacture my saw. They are afraid of my saw because will dominate the market.

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing! I'm going to try this now! I had a thought to make it better/easier to use. Instead of predrilling mount holes for circular saw, router etc, you could have a track (perpendicular to the direction of the guides) - one of the guides can be fixed, but the other can move along the perpendicular track and be tightened into the appropriate position. Then the same jig can work for any number of devices - different brands of circular saws, jig saws, routers, etc. The perpendicular track can be along the top of the wooden block, but if you feel that the bolt to fix down the guide might interfere with the tool, then the perpendicular track can be along the side of the wooden block - the channel guide would then need a perpendicular piece as well that can help secure it to the perpendicular track along the back side of the wooden block. I hope I'm somewhat clear with what I am saying! Sorry don't have any pictures to help describe it better! :-)

Sridhar Rajagopal So have you made one like what you suggested? I think I can see what you are trying to do. One problem I see is when the circular saw (or jig saw) go past the wooden block, it will cut into the perpendicular track. If you have multiple saws, it will have multiple cuts. Do you have any better solution or you think the cut is okay.

I love you man. I was stuck in my own head for shop bench ideas until I saw your video on small space work benches without major tools. Thank you, you totally inspired me or I should say re-inspired me and my mission. Plus my wallet thanks you too. Keep em coming, as soon as I can I will support your Patreon page. COVID-19 wiped me out, well that and the Big C. You’re definitely my favorite contractor and you have a great personality on the tube. I hope this gig is really paying off for you because you deserve it. T
