It's like cheating

Why is it that the miters sometimes looks awful even though you've done everything to the book? This might be the answer your looking for.

Dear Swede, this was a masterclass in how to stretch 5 seconds of advice into 8 minutes and 22 seconds without irritating your audience too much. :-)

[@johnisley4578]

Sorry to tell you this, but you've gone the wrong way. By going under 45 degrees you will have an opening on the outside of the mitre. You always cut mitres at around 45.5 degrees ish, not 44.9 degrees, this way at 45.5 degrees the outside of the mitre will be touching and the inside may have an extremely tiny gap. You increase the angle to close the outside of the mitre, not decrease.

you sure do use a lot of youtube filler though

I wish this video has been a short of 13 seconds...

[@miserablesod1]

"The screwdriver trick" is known as burnishing and has been used for centuries... A perfectly appropriate operation in mitre joints.

Are you still replying to comments on this video?

I thought it was going to be without any expensive gadgets. I had to buy table saw, angle finder, the dail, square and other things to check what he is saying is true. Now I'm down $4000.😅 😂😅

[@Stigtoes]

So the principal DIY tip is, first get yourself a table saw !

[@jamesstrawn6087]

This is good advice. However, issues involving wood moisture (noticeable later) and cutting the sides identically in length, not to mention blade selection, are all common issues that plague miters as well. I'm just an amateur and an old guy. My advice would be when you find something that works well and consistently, use it.

[@carolcunningham]

So now I'm confused. I just finished watching some videos that said to set the blade at 45.5 degrees to achieve the same effect you were after with the 44.9 degrees.

[@RobRobertson1000]

There are two ways the blade can be out of square on a table saw. Either the plane of the saw cut is not aligned with the mitre slot - OR - the saw blade does not run square against the arbour, that is it might have a wobble. It is important to check for both, especially if you have an older table saw or are using cheaper blades.

[@IanKjos]

The other secret is: When the blade is tilted, it pulls the workpiece sideways, tending to throw off the bevel. This is even a bigger problem with miters. My miter gauge has holes allowing me to screw in a larger back-stop. If that back-stop has a strip of high-grit sand-paper glued to it, then the added friction from the sandpaper solves the problem.

I’m really enjoying your channel. I don’t think I’ll ever make such a charging station, but that’s ok. I like seeing the tools used, how they’re used, and different techniques. I also like hearing different folks describe things. Different people different explanations added together usually enhances understanding. Like the first comment about the wrong angle. I right away understood the error of the comment. Frame of reference is always important. The discussion helped bring that out. Thank you for another great episode. I know we are in a very global culture these days where we are becoming more unified, but if there are any unique Swedish woodworking styles, tools, or processes, I’d love to learn about them.

How to actually, with any saw:

[@vincentmarotta9800]

I imagine wood filling and/or wood glue on the inner ends will help with providing strength to it. Staples also help give extra support.

[@alpaul9700]

There may be another dimension to adjust on your table saw. Once the blade is aligned with the miter slot, angle the blade to 45 degrees. Then cut a 45 on a a wider board, and push completely through. If there is a secondary cut off the back side of the blade, then the table needs to be tilted back to front. Check both miter slots. Insert shims on the bolts holding the table down, typically on the front side. When there is minimal saw dust raising from the back of the blade, it's in tune.

So thankful that you specifically mentioned this can be done not just on the one tool you displayed in the video but others. So many times I watch a how to video and they show only one tool and never explain or show if the skill they are demonstrating can be done with other tools. Thank you!! 😊

[@kimokahikolekalihi]

KZbin put this in my feed and I'm grateful. I just got a table saw and never thought about about any of this. Getting miters and cuts perfect has never been my strong point but I aim to fix that. Thanks

[@carll4992]

Dear Swede, thanks so much for this video. As somewhat of a newbie I appreciate the dialogue and process you went through to get the results you ended up with. Your detail are beneficial to someone like me! Thank again!
