Magnetic Hand Saw Crosscut "Sled" - 90 and 45 Degree Guide

[@katzmosestools]

My favorite Suizan Japanese Saws are in the Katz-Moses Store: bit.ly/SuizanSaws *Thank you for supporting what we do!*

[@dominicdiclemente8877]

Grr, I just bought your dovetail jig a few weeks ago, and then the folding saw off amazon based on your recommendation. Would much have preferred to buy them all of you, great content.

[@katzmosestools]

@@dominicdiclemente8877 thanks for the support bud!

[@costwoodworks]

The video worked, I have been wanting to get your dovetail jig for a long time, because you were offering the savings on jig with the purchase of a saw, I ended up getting two saws and 2 jigs! You're the man, thanks for the inspiration!

[@91wheelz]

I wish your online store sold these! I don’t have access to a table saw. I love this bench hook

[@photogscott1]

Thank you Jonathan for all of your videos. This one is just another example of a valuable tool one can make for the shop.

[@KansasArmyVet1]

I was Just thinking to myself in the shop the other day as I hand cut a small piece, "man, I can't cut this square to save my life, I need a jig for this.” Thank you my friend. Way better than the old miter box.

[@AutotechWoodworking]

I made a miter box quite a while ago, but I was less than happy about the squareness of the cuts. I didn't want to make another one and take a chance of ending up with one that produced the same, or even worse results. I kept trying to figure out how to make it better so that the cuts would be square in all directions until I realized what I needed to do. I cut two ¾" vertical blocks of wood the height of the miter box sides, and drilled two holes in each of them to hold magnets. I then attached each one on the outsides of either side; voilà, problem solved. I now get perfect 90° cuts in all directions, even on dowel rods. Great minds think alike, although I think your mind is probably a bit greater than mine.

Just got my Suizan saw in the mail! This looks like a good project to try it out And yes the sticker went on the table saw right away 😏 thank Jonathan ✌️

[@katzmosestools]

Sweet! I can't wait to see you create!

[@MultiTom1956]

Thank you Katz 😊

[@Notforyou201]

I took a square piece of scrap 2x4 and clamped it on top of the board I was cutting to fence one side of the saw and with my free hand held another fence face down on the other side of the saw to guide those teeth home for squared perfection. Magnets are ingenious though. Definitely looks like a fun build. Wish I had more time for WW!!! Gonna quit my job now 😅

Awesome. This is a must have jig for the shop.

[@blandry021]

Great saw, bought it because it folds and the blade does not get damaged inside my tool box. Also bought the flush cut saw.

[@katzmosestools]

Yeah that and the weight are my favorite!

[@hippoandbearmakes3416]

What a cool jig and great video!!

[@kchassa_]

Awesome!

Jonathan - you’re the king of jigs, I look forward to these tips. One I would appreciate you covering is a setup for tapered sliding dovetails - like for wide shelves.

[@YoHeroZero]

Really cool idea man 👊

[@katzmosestools]

Thanks bud! Cheers!

[@michaelmiller5177]

I really appreciate how genuine you are, especially about mistakes and learning from them. It helps me be a little more kind to myself in the shop.

[@katzmosestools]

A good woodworker knows... how to fix their mistakes, forgive themselves when they make them and never point them out. Cheers bud!

[@TheOlsonOutfit]

That's a great idea. The 45 in particular would save me a lot of time on the shooting board.

I think this video is for the fully equipped worker making a present for his friend who only has hand tools. Or for me to take with me to my daughter’s garage rather than lugging the heavy noisy sliding mitre saw, which I used to make it.

Looks super helpful. The more jigs I think of making, the more I start to think my tiny shed-shop will need an addition. Only so much space in a 12 X 16 shop that is also a storage area as well.

[@TrumpetJazzman]

Cool! Couldn't you also reverse it in a way, with a runner on the squaring/miter block sliding in a groove on the base platform? Might save the need to replace the piece that you cut through each time. Needless to say, thanks for the great content!

[@WhitworthStud]

Jonathan, any wisdom on what benefit this would be for cutting 90 and 45 compared to a crosscut sled on a tablesaw? A finer polished cut piece? Just curious as I'm learning and trying to think about this as an option in my workflow. Thanks for the quality content.

[@katzmosestools]

Just different work flow. I use this a lot for one off cuts and small pieces

[@WhitworthStud]

@@katzmosestools Thanks for the reply!

[@seandraper150]

I'm very keen to make the handsaw cross cut sled but the link takes me to the table saw version. Would the link for the handsaw one still be available. Haven't been able to find on the site yet.

[@johnmay3266]

I will be making this sometime during the next week.

[@JohnColgan.]

7:44 was that a Stanley No 1 plane ? Nice thing about having magnets in there, The face wont wear away as with most mitre blocks so more consistent cuts.

[@jbourgeois5092]

awesome jig! i'd probably make a pass on the router through the sides of the fence pieces with a cove bit to make some easy-grips for removing them from the runner piece

[@АлексейАлександров-и2о]

Original, more expensive, but also has a place to be

[@MalenyFieldsForever]

I made something like this for use with my Japanese saws. The trouble I ran into is that the design doesn't allow for the kerf width of the saw. I reverted to using a mitre block. This video gave me an idea that I'd like to try of building the same thing without the magnets but using the the fence piece all the time.

[@TheDalejr881]

Great project!!!

[@stevetobias4890]

Great jig. I love my Japanese saws and am in the middle of making a bench stop saw jig. Have plenty of magnets so what better use than to incorporate them into the saw jig. Thank you.

[@gregu4791]

It appears you are cutting through the fence support. Do you reuse those cuts and just line up the fence with them? You glued it into the plywood, so I imagine it is not disposable. Maybe it could be, though?

[@donbrown3599]

Can show how you made that little work table that sawing on?

[@Quinnemey]

Dear unicorn, humidity issues plague the southern woodworker. Can you do a video about the shrinkage of wood from the shop to the house. Where the shop may be a higher humidity than the the home it resides.

[@chriscroteau4626]

Great video. Thanks for all the awesome tips. Im new to woodworking. Went kind of backwards and got all power tools first but now I am trying to learn to do everything by hand. Which Japanese saw do you suggest starting with? Looking forward to getting your dovetail jig. Thanks, Chris.

[@whitexeno]

was that a number 1 I saw doing some chamfering? 0.o; nvm you answered my question right after I posted that.

[@musashimiyamoto586]

One thing you need to explain to me. When you started cutting you also cut your guide piece the fence goes on to. Is that supposed to be like this or shouldn't you hide the guide under the fence before you start cutting?

[@MrPJM22]

Great jig idea. I’m only going to resist making one because I have so much invested in my shooting plane and shooting boards and this jig wouldn’t help me at all justify the investment - HA! The very cool thing about your jig though, is you can create any compound angle and get a great cut that a shooting plane may not be able to true up. Thanks for sharing.

[@katzmosestools]

Yeah but you can always cut a dunce for your shooting board at the correct angle

[@tomwolber]

I wish you would sell a CNC plywood version for those of us with table saws to make one.

[@katzmosestools]

Seems to be a common sentiment

[@eded68]

got my two saws last week and the two dovetail jigs. Have used the saws of course but not tried out the jigs. Tell me, what is the difference between the two dovetail jigs, they look the same.

[@katzmosestools]

The angle. 6:1 is typically for softwoods and 8:1 is typically for hardwood

[@wilcoxtube]

Great one, Jonathan, thank you! Question, do you typically line up the 90 and 45 degree anchor pieces with the cuts that you have already made in the anchor strip which is glued into your base?

[@katzmosestools]

I usually just leave the 90 where it is and don't switch to 45 that often. But if it needs a new spot then I just cut a new one. They're so easy to make that I don't care if I use it all up

[@wwscott7595]

Hullo young man. I made a jig similar but different a good few years ago out of plywood. It served me well. As your the man I will make yours, More accurate. You really should not be doing bad things to cats, especially skinning them. You get into trouble doing that. Take care BIG GUY.

[@markjackson2004]

JKM - would you think a locating pin might be a useful addition to this jig, so that you cut along the same line each time? Or not worth the bother...

[@katzmosestools]

Not worth the bother. So easy and cheap to make that its expendable

[@mrredpill3121]

Should it been a better idea to glue the fence support to the fence so your not cutting the support every time you cut?

[@Cancun771]

This is all well and good but the whole point of using hand saws, for many of us, is to be able to _avoid_ buying a tablesaw in the first place.

Hi. This is a question for anybody that would like to answer. I have started selling wooden shelves that are attached to a wall with screws. Just wondering, would it be a good idea to drill holes in the piece so people know where to screw it in from (and provide screws), or just leave it and let them decide where to screw it in from? Hope that makes sense. Thanks, from New Zealand :)
