How to cut EVERY ANGLE on your Miter Saw - Acute Angle Jig - Quick Tip

[@billkelly4772]

I am a woodworker and woodworking teacher. Most of my students suffer from autism spectrum disorder. Your approach demonstrates the beauty of woodworking as a way to learn problem-solving, geometry, and arithmetic in fun and natural ways. Your clarity, enthusiasm, simple techniques, and smile are wonderful guideposts in my teaching. Thank you, Tamara.

[@АнастасияБежевая]

I've used other (10" saws) previously and was pretty surprised with the speed and cutting ability of this Dewalt saw.I have bolted mine to a table to minimize movement which I highly recommend.This is a Great saw kzbin.infoUgkxPeGkHOMe05FySypTOvYumxMn-xi39oRe with a light to see your cutting line (not a laser line).I'd recommend this saw fro anyone looking to upgrade from a 10" miter saw.

I hope you realize how many projects you have saved across the globe with your problem solving. Lots of amazing woodworkers out there, but you have a unique ability to explain a problem and how to solve it that makes sense to normal people. Thank you for your content.

A week or so ago I was trying to cut some 60 degree miters on my table saw (ok, actually 30 degrees, but you know what I mean). I have the Incra V27 miter gauge and I can swing it that far, but since I'm making the cut at the end of the fence, and not through it, it places the workpiece in a very precarious position on the edge of the table before making the cut. That night I was browsing KZbin and saw your video in my feed. Bam! The thumbnail was all I needed to see to know how to solve my problem. My first idea was to cut a 30 degree wedge and then set my miter gauge to 30 degrees and I'd have my 60 degree cut. That proved to be difficult to handle safely. That's when I discovered that if I hold the workpiece perpendicular to the face of the miter gauge (set at 30 degrees), I'd get my desired 60 degree cut. I clamped a piece of 2x2 to the fence then clamped the workpiece to the 2x2 and I could safely push the workpiece through the blade and get my cut. With all the clamps, there was no shortage of handles to hold on to, to keep my hands away from the blade. This is a great trick to have in your "bag of tricks". Just add an angle to your angle to get the unreachable angle.

[@artv4nd3l4y]

You really have a lot of practical advice and information on this channel, and I bet it helps a lot of people. Most of the people watching these videos don't have tons of experience, and you are able to explain what you're doing and why in very simple terms. Wow 656K subscribers this channel must be very successful, well deserved keep up the great content.

[@rogermccaslin5963]

I haven't had too many occasions where I needed to cut such a drastic angle but I can see this is a great idea. Obviously more accurate than just holding the workpiece and trying to cut on a marked line. And a lot safer too.

[@samspade4634]

You are quickly becoming one of my favorite channels to watch. I set my alarm to let me know when you put out a new one so I don't miss anything. Thanks for sharing. I learn something new every time I watch you.

What an excellent jig! You are a genius!

[@JLRWoodCreations]

JLR Workshop- Tamar, this is a great video, that will help with tighter angle cuts, and wider cuts as well with a little ingenuity. As far as cutting through the base, most sliding miter saws have a depth of cut adjustment screw to keep that from happening! Keep those vids coming!

[@philipbyrnes7501]

Excellent as usual Tamara, thank you. You didn’t point out that it also works as a zero clearance cut which is another great advantage to the jig. Exceptional, thank you

[@3x3CustomTamar]

For sure! Glad you liked it

One of the BEST explanations on YT for corresponding angles. Great job.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Glad you think so!

[@thomlipiczky9021]

I used to have a set of triangles of varying degrees that would be added together and put against the back fence to make odd angles. But your jig is so much better and safer. My fingers and I thank you!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Glad you like it!

[@danielsiemens7489]

I noticed you cut those angle reference lines on a sliding compound mitre saw. I have just a regular compound mitre saw. How would mark those reference lines on a regular compound mitre saw? I love how detailed you are in your instructions.

[@m.berelli]

I'm setting up my new compound miter saw and have been thinking about a safe way to cut angles over 60 degrees. I thought "someone must have done this before." and I was pleasantly surprised that your video was the first result when I searched for 'miter saw extreme angle'. Solid video and jig/clamp design. Thank you!

[@MCsCreations]

Excellent idea, Tamar! Fantastic work! 😃 I thought you were going to make an adjustable fence, but it works much better this way! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Great jig Tamar. For years I've been cutting a 45 whenever I need to make an acute cut and sticking it somewhere in the shop to use for next time. Then I forget where I put it and cut another 45. This jig is much more stable (i.e. safer) and I can hang it up with my other jigs (Cut a hole with a Forstner bit at the top of the V.) Really like the way you demonstrate everything and explain what to do in different eventualities. Thank you!!!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Hi, Tamar, At first I did not like it at all, because I know how dangerous such a cut is. When you explained it, I became a fan of your Jig, so you convinced me and now I'll will use it to.

[@melissasilver4014]

11:20 - If your saw has a trenching feature, you can also set that to just below the cut lines on the wooden board

[@melissasilver4014]

aaaaand then Tamar mentions the depth stop lol I should have kept watching haha!

[@richsumner8402]

If you continue making guitars and decide to make your own neck, you can do the scarf joint for the headstock angle with this jig. It's a cool idea for this jig.

[@RobSchweitzer]

This is awesome! A few years ago when I was trying to build a guitar from scratched I needed to cut the scarf joint on the neck for the headstock and we ended up using a miter saw. It was super sketchy and thankfully came out okay, but I sure could have used a jig like this!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Would be perfect for that!

[@loopinnerthe]

Hey yey a hey whats going on! (see, you do sing and we do love it) For the first quick and dirty jig why not make it 40 degrees then the maths would be even easier? Great jig and great explanation and super quality video. Thanks for making this for us.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Haha! Sure! You can do that! Still don’t love the clamping for that situation but it works in a pinch

I recently did a project requiring some off angles, and I felt like I was back in HS trigonometry class trying to figure everything out, and then making one off jigs to cut, and then questioning, and re-questioning my math, and... What I'm getting at is, something like this would have been useful, and I wish I had seen this video BEFORE I did that project. Not sure why YT didn't show it to me sooner. I have hit the 🔔.

Very handy jig Tamar.👌 You can also make it adjustable by putting a pivot pin at the fence anchor point and a through bolt with a wing nut attached through a radius slot for even more flexibility.😉 I made several types for finish work like stair rails, irregular window and cabinet trim as well as specialty framing and even grout, mortar and concrete forms. Had to make some extra large ones for cutting solid and laminated beams, extremely useful tools. Another fine tool made and displayed by the Tamar jig manufacturing company!👍 Nice outro by the way.👌🤙🤪🤣 Hey, hey, hey, I said Hey....

[@michmvp]

I have a small miter saw that only goes to 47 degrees. Your jig is great but how would you cut a 50 degree angle on small stock?

[@multidinero]

An expansion of this idea could be jig double the width with an opposite fence @45 degrees on the other side of the blade. That’s more for acute angles with trim-as I’m a Trim Carpenter by trade. I saw a jig made by a Kizen Enterprises on Finish Carpentry TV that did a similar thing, but it’s $250-$350 and made from aluminum. This is a great idea and will barely cost you anything beyond what your project is budgeted for already. I’m inspired by you, Tamar. Great job, as usual!

Great jig. My only other thought would be to have a stop at the end on the back side of the fence clamping board that "hooks" on the end of the miter saw fence to register the jig position with the saw, instead of pushing it up to the blade (which might deflect if pushed too hard).

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Great idea!

[@What_Other_Hobbies]

Suggestion. Screw or glue a block on the bottom of this jig to butt against the edge of your miter saw base. Every time you put it on your saw, it’s the same starting position.
