DIY Miter Saw Fence | How To Make a Miter Fence

[@arth.4196]

This guy is awesome. Just a beginner here. I know taking apart brake & suspension systems, repairing them & replacing parts is very easy. After 10 yrs $$$$$$$. He just solved my issue the way I like it. Thank you Bearded Man. Your Great....Work Smart not Hard.....

[@gordonmiller2954]

You are a natural teacher( I know from 30 yrs experience). Fun, informative, easy to follow directions. Keep it up please.

[@cajunman6892]

Jason: I found you a few weeks ago. I am going to find and watch ALL your videos. You have a great 'entertainment' technique. you turn a dry presentation into a engaging one. That said, I am 65 now, and only had a single-wide converted carport to work in (that I had to share with wifes/daughters 'stuff'. I was always moving 3 things to get access to one tool, then move stuff again to get access to another tool. NO MORE, I am about 75% done building my 'shed', it's 24x48 with 10' ceiling. All 2x6 construction. I'd upload a pic if I could, but don't know how. Anyway, one of the 1st thing I will be doing is implementing many of your 'suggestions'. Thanks and keep up the great work.

[@mikeweckesser4450]

Amazing ideas all around. Extremely customizable to personal needs, no routing out grooves for tracks makes its very beginner friendly, which I'm a fan of. The 1/8 "gap", and tips of this sort, are exactly why I come here. I would have never thought of that. Thank you

[@CookieMonster_1969]

I waited till tonight to watch this video because I was working this morning when I looked at my phone and saw the notification. And there is no sense watching your videos without a good old rock of bourbon on the rocks.So now I am sitting here enjoying some Jim Beam on the rocks, entertaining as always, keep it up👍😎.

[@maryd7811]

I just finished making mine. The fence worked like a charm. It was much easier to cut and drill holes in the angle iron than I thought it would be. Thanks!

[@DavidGunter]

Did you find long lengths of the extruded fence or simpy butt pieces together?

[@dpbjlee83]

Running in the shop can be DANGEROUS. Stay safe. Keep Being You!!@

[@mcs5271]

Amazingly simple, I'm totally going to build/buy this when I finish building a miter stand cabinet! Thanks for the video!

[@stuartwass6672]

Love the way it slides out the way

[@BabaPalmer]

Dude.. your old skool cigar boxes brought so many memories of my dad there... we used to keep photos in them as weans (scottish word for kids).. I love your video's

[@norsebavarian1941]

My new favorite channel. Well done sir.

[@loloblanc04]

Tanks for the video and the good mood that you bring. Greatings from France.

[@lucaslegz]

I happened upon your video and decided to watch. You crack me up. I couldn’t get past the beginning... twice.. without laughing. The third time was a charm. I’m going to subscribe just to watch the comedy show. Thank you.

[@johnleahy6527]

the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. kzbin.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

[@joeywatch1145]

I just adore this. I can't have it, but I adore it. I have one bench that I need for various jobs. Maybe with slotted t-tracks in the countertop so I can slide it forward and back, and a few small dowel holes for quick alignment... then I'll be able to mount multiple tools to the same spot as long as I can adjust their height. I already had to make big adjustable fences for my router and drill press. Maybe I can make it one fence, multiple tools. Not to mention having that one long and flat plane.

[@andrhamm]

This is giving me all kinds of ideas... I’m thinking threaded inserts for the angle iron with some room for adjustability and leaving the ability to temporarily remove the whole thing. Love the bolting method for t-track... the screws always suck in plywood, especially if in a dado groove. No need for epoxy wit bolts either

[@juliepiper7058]

Yes, love it! I was thinking even If I had The luxury of having a workbench, I would not want the track to be there. Great video though, you are a cuckoo but makes your video more fun to watch!

[@Alphasig336]

Great idea. I might suggest adding 3 prong nut with 1/4 bolts anf thumb screw for angle iron allows whole system to be removed if you need work space.

[@tommoody3176]

I couldn’t help but notice that poster of all those pipes behind your miter saw. My favorite pipe style is a Canadian with a little Dunhill Early Morning Pipe for my smoking pleasure. Cheers and thanks for your videos.

[@RedcarWW]

Listen hear Jason, I had made my mind up that when I build my new miter saw station, I was going to use a bench on one side, and a flip up extender on the other side due to space constratints. Now watching this, I am back to building both sides with a bench. What am I going to do with Delta/Rockwell Jointer that will not fit under the bench. Thanks so much for the conundrum. All that said, I really like this fence system that is brilliantly simple.

[@andresfelipemoscosohernand2371]

Thanks for the video. The flipping stop is nice. To avoid referencing anything other than my miter saw fence, I embedded t track into the tables on the left and right. Now they also work as assembly tables with a whole grid of t tracks. Just another option in case it fits someone's need out there.

[@DavidGunter]

I'm thinking of doing exactly this. Do you have any regrets doing it like that? Stop blocks in the way, etc?

[@mikehobert2565]

Jason, You ain't right.... LOL, Great Channel. Great Attitude.

[@thomasgross8289]

When I build my work tables I always build them 1/2" short and screw a "sacrificial" 1/2" piece of plywood ontop to protect the actual table top. When it gets messed up simply remove it and put a new one on.

[@kenkempfert3164]

Excellent design - just ordered my parts to do. Thank you!

[@edstengel2495]

Your suggestion about moving the aux fence back 1/8" from the miter saw fence seems to make practical sense for the times when you have a bow in the workpiece. However, if the aux fence is not going to touch the workpiece, why have an aux fence in the first place? Are the flip stop and the tape measure the reason you have the aux fence? If you have a bow in the board, an aux fence placed flush with the miter saw fence, would be a quick way to identify the problem, which then could be addressed with the jointer or a track saw prior to cross cutting on the miter saw with an accurate fence. A longer accurate fence would also assist in aligning a long board for an accurate cross cut, rather than relying on the short fence of the miter saw.

[@sirjockiii]

Same same don’t get it. Why set up up for something that it not right in the first place. If the board is flush the fence is not helping. Is it.

[@tflexxin]

Another great video. Thanks!!

[@fatpat01]

Just finished this today, inspired by your video!! Looks awesome!!

[@lichdust]

OK the "so the next thing me need to do" joke got a sub.

[@TripleGAutoDetailing]

Simple but EXTREMELY effective!!

[@Steve-dr7rr]

Jason I’m mid fifties disabled use a wheelchair and had 2 small strokes which resulted in me losing my short term memory so I can’t remember anything I’ve just started woodworking and still trying to finish the inside of my shed in U.K. would you have any videos on a miter saw station at all. I have some tools not even some basic ones but willing to give it a go. I find your videos very entertaining and found out I can remember bits from your videos as also funny. I would just like to say thank you any improvement is a bonus. But thanks and keep up the fantastic job and videos you do Cheers steve👨🏼‍🦽🇬🇧

[@daveconry830]

Cool fence! I will be making one of those this weekend. Thanks for sharing.

[@ffuukkyootoobffuukkyootoob1411]

Rather than using only a straightedge, consider using a laser to sight the full length of your fence... that way you don't get any error at all even @ 6' or more from the saw, if your fence is that long. Set the laser on the opposing side so it slides down the entire length of your target fence, with the light visible along the built-in miter fence...

[@tankerboysabot]

That idea is going to be used for my chop saw for metal.

[@MegaDemon76]

Pretty awesome Jason

[@arsenecormier5771]

Really enjoy and learn a lot from your videos. You are so funny too.

[@johnwatson5984]

Where is the drink of the month... we need this...

[@bryankia]

I will absolutely do this. Thanks.

[@koreywarner3559]

Please make more videos! You do amazing stuff, both with videos and with woodworking.

[@jamesriley3041]

Hi there loving your channel here’s a little tip for you I watched a video you did where you show a easy way to set the depth stop on your router using setting out blocks which are very expensive instead I use a Alan key or even drill bits 👍🏼 keep the vids coming

[@HowIDoThingsDIY]

Hahah. You're intros are always great. Where you drunk in this one?

[@giancarlov3740]

Bro. You’re a legend. The quality and personality in this video earned you a sub. Great video man!

[@christobar]

So I had done the same thing a couple years ago, but just scrapped the fences and inset t track into the work surface. This frees up a ton of space and also lets you cross cut stock that might be less than straight

[@matthewsee3745]

Love this dude and his abilities, but DAMN! This fence system is worth more than my miter saw and workbench combined

[@robertlacasse1977]

Do the nuts of the stoppers get in the way of measuring for higher boards?

[@andywyatt701]

another great video...thanks Jason

[@KastaRules]

Know I finally have a use for that dusty aluminum T-track which I removed from the ceiling some time ago. Thanks man !!!

[@timcooney3600]

Hey, hope you are safe from the fires and smoke down there.

[@martyclack8782]

Nice job funny and informative. See on you next project.

[@billygarfield5520]

Really good idea. Great instructions although I would have liked a closer view of you using the .125 thick tool to set the extruded alum piece. Thanks for a great video and I look forward to your next video!! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@wintooborn]

I still didn’t understand why he set it back

[@TheNachoDaddy]

Great tip on the 1/8" offset. I hadn't though about that, but makes perfect sense!

[@R53Driver]

While i would agree, i was a little confused later on when he talked about setting the aluminum flush against the saw fence. Maybe it was just me, but I feel like he contradicted himself later in the video. Such an awesome idea though

[@Renegator1]

@@R53Driver Same here!

[@gilcd85]

Entertaining and useful as always. Thank you!

[@rubencito152]

On those woodpecker stoppers you can flip them and use the second hole , that way your stopper sits flush with your fence .

[@wanderingchopstick]

This is genius! Thank you!

[@vassoscostas473]

Just wanted to say that I am watching and enjoying all of your videos. Even as a relatively experienced woodworker, I have picked up some really useful tips. I will try using undermount runners (once I get over how expensive they are-but hope to make up the money in saved time).

[@ivodasilva1474]

I like your pipe chart , your mitre saw fence is ok too.

[@MattMuirhead]

I have a very similar setup to this at work.... but keeping a spare 10" spacer rather than 12" makes for easier mathing for me and the people I work with :)

[@mazatrolmultiplex1113]

Very good project. Thanks

[@fergusdangerfield156]

Bloody fantastic jason, thanx for another great video x.

[@craigburghardt8604]

Love the 'tongue and cheek.' Perhaps a video on walking or eating might be needed soon in this world.

[@billyjay4672]

Nice job moth man

[@davidiand7]

I like your humour, great video info, you have given me some good ideas, thanks!

[@rmar127]

Love the tip about setting the fence back 3.2mm from the saw fence. Makes a lot of sense. Cheers Mate. P.S. I translated your American into English so the rest of the world 🌍 can understand 😁

[@adamloeffler1349]

Can you do a video on how you finish with Rubio? What products you use and the overall process

[@2logj]

Super duper project .I was thinking why not use a 2m CLS wood instead of the Aluminium Frame? Just thought about it.I am just a benniner.

[@patrickdunn8918]

I was going to ask about that cool fence 😃

[@RobertHussa]

Funny dude! And great information. Thank you!

[@mickelion6198]

Cool tip my friend 😎

[@davesatosky5840]

Use a 10 inch block, math's hard

[@Thatontarioguy]

Dave Satosky that sounds to close to metric for me!

[@lintelle2382]

exactly what I did...

[@joetaylor7442]

Then you can’t do anything smaller than 5 inches.

[@barrykaplan3751]

Great video. One question: is there any reason you can’t use aluminum L bar instead of steel. Its much lighter and looks better. Thank you

[@TheBluealan2000]

Awesome video, thanks again for sharing your experience and expertise l.

[@gringo3009]

More good stuff!

[@bobbypiper6636]

I also find sliding the stops enjoyable and making choo choo train 🚂 noises haha

[@rockandmeatroll]

Wow good man, excellent !!!!!

[@addiegoninan]

I was hoping you would do a video on that fence. It really does seem like it’s almost “too easy.” Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@geniuspharmacist]

Job: Beard model. Hobby: Wood work. 😂 Cool projects. Please keep up the good work.

[@lincsystemscraigb]

Another excellent video. Thank you for sharing. I’ve been looking at a few different fence options for my miter saw. This video made up my mind! Thanks for the links too for the parts needed to complete this!

[@todpharis4996]

Awesome. Well done.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Great idea! Thanks for waking us through it. “We” appreciate it. (There’s no we...ha ha)

[@BrendanFalkowski]

I know this video is old, but I've been looking at those Woodpeckers flip stops and they have two mounting holes for an offset sub-fence or not. Yours is mounted in the wrong hole to make it lay flat against the fence, or you like it slanted. It's hard to tell, but I can tell you that I read the manual and that's why I know this.

[@jggreenhouse4230]

You are too funny. Thank you for the great video

[@robertogreco8893]

Roberto from italy. Hi started watching you videos and are really enjoying them. I love to do wood work but do not have a big work shop like every one in the USA. , i just work outside and do small projects. But anyway keep up tbe good videos. Greatings from Italy venice.

[@JulienB_BTW]

I'm gonna need you to make a dedicated video to making the other side. Thank you.

[@SteveVanceIsAwesome]

Just face your screen towards a mirror and bam, done.

[@JulienB_BTW]

@@SteveVanceIsAwesome Genius

[@normanjacques4092]

Nice. Thanks.

[@ValiantSlantSix64]

Need to make stops & measurements for miter cuts, since you show the whole thing moved out of position. Maybe similar to that 12" block ? -- move T-track a Fixed Distance to let saw fence clear the tilted saw, then make mitered blocks for typical angles. -- Yes ? Good video.

[@b3owu1f]

So just got my GSM12SD and the portable fold up table it sits on. Can I replace the fence on the Bosch with one like this with ttrack?

[@joecnc3341]

Liked-Subscribed-Notified. Great video. Nice an easy shop add on.

Like the idea of this for sure... Dumb question... do you compensate for the kerf when you put the sticky measuring tape down or do you do that with the block?
