I prefer to just clamp a 1” piece on to the back of the fence. Haven’t had any issue with pieces flying back. The tape is a cool idea but I’m not crazy about the time it takes and the idea of getting sticky stuff on my table top. Plus it could move slightly if you smack a piece into it.
@InspireWoodcraft2 жыл бұрын
I hear ya. I think it just depends on each person's individual work habits too. I have this tape everywhere in the shop, so it ends up being quicker than most options. Plus I don't have to remember to deduct the inch. I picked it up from working production plastic fab and it worked so well, I just sort of kept it for the wood shop.

@brucemiller16962 жыл бұрын
@@sethwatson8952 not sure what you are talking about with the dado thing. Dont remember seeing anything about that. However, the better way to do cuts like this is with a backup fence. Like a mitre saw with a zero clearance fence or a table saw sled or even if he had a longer fence on what he is using. The reason being is when the piece starts to fall away before it is cut all the way through is it may not cut cleanly or chip the back corner out. His trick is cool but there is better. PS, have doing woodworking since 1984. Seen a lot, been taught a lot, studied a lot, worked at more than a dozen cabinet shops and now self employed for the last 7 years. So, i think i have earned enough worth to put my 2 cents in.

@nagamendo56552 жыл бұрын
Yes, I know this problem. I once had a near miss situation with the „clamp-a-piece-of-wood-to-the-fence-method“ so I wanted to have a better way of cutting such pieces. More or less, my solution is the same as yours. Only in my solution, the piece of wood that acts as fence replacement is 10 cm wide so I can still use the fence to put it in place (subtracting 10 cm is still math that I can handle without a calculator 🤪) and it is held in place with a switchable magnet. Also is has a little chamfer on the lower edge on the side of the workpiece so dust and small debris don‘t get in the way. I love the double sided tape of yours. A pity we can‘t get this type of tape around here. What we get here is not torn off so easy. Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

@theofarmmanager2672 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the video. I very much appreciate the quality of your narration; it is very calming unlike some (most?) narrators who seem to tire me out just listening to them. I’ve only been a (serious) amateur woodworker for 45 years or more and I had never thought of that. I use the auxiliary fence cramped to the main fence method - although I ensure the gap between the cutting piece and the main fence is proportionate to the length and width that I am cutting ( the bigger the cutting piece, the wider the gap to the main fence). A couple of things. I am OCD about having a clean table surface - I won’t be putting double sided tape on it. I have a couple of very powerful switch magnets (not magswitches as I can buy more powerful magnets for much less) and they will be ideal. Also, I don’t trust my measure on the table saw; every time I switch blades (rip to cross-cutting to flat top tooth to wide blades), that measure is out; so, I’m afraid I’m old fashioned in that I cut a piece and measure it; it just gives me more confidence that the measurement is correct. I am all for efficiency (used to work with six sigma) but I feel much better double checking everything. It takes some time, which doesn’t matter to me much now, but I carry on without that gnawing feeling of “is that square” or “has that double sided tape moved a little” You talked about one type of kickback which is very sensible. I can’t see from your video doesn’t show whether you use a riving knife or not. To me, from what I have experienced, a riving knife is one of the top safety features you must use on a table saw; it’s up there with push sticks and short fences. I don’t think it’s quite a critical if you are cutting man made boards but it’s essential if you are cutting “proper” timber. The knife that came with the machine had an overhead dust collector attached to it. So, you couldn’t do dados or rebates. I discarded that dust collection system, making one first that came across the machine from one side - but that got in the way with cutting long pieces; in my new workshop (new house) I’m making one that hangs from the ceiling and is reasonably retractable. I have now cut my riving knife down so that it is the same exact height as my blade; and when I change blades, I made dedicated riving knives for each blade width and diameter.

Great idea, but too much hassle for me for just a couple of cuts, plus i wax my table so tape probably wont stick too well. I prefer the L block idea, with the flat part made longer for more clearance from the fence, and made so it can fit snug over the width of the fence, so no need for a clamp, which usually gets in the way. Screw for micro adjust is a great idea.

Thanks, no thanks. I started woodworking when I was 7 or 8, started school shop class in the 4th grade. I'm 81 now. I opt for a saw sled. Faster to set up, and guaranteed accurate every time, as long as it was made accurate. I also use a foot switch - stand on it, turns the saw on. Problem occurs, first instinct is to move back, this makes me step off the switch, saw is turned off, no looking for an off switch to turn it off. I tried double stick tape, once. Too much time and trouble to clean up the wood, same with rubber cement. A tip that seems like most of the modern 'experts' don't know - never stand in line with the saw blade - if there is a kick back it will hit you right in the gut, stand to the side and any kickback will pass by you. And I have never yet had a kickback, learned about avoiding them from my 10th grade shop instructor, the first year we were allowed to use power tools.

Cool idea with the double sided tape. Another idea is what I use. Similar to the first part of your vid. I have a piece of wood with four rare earth magnets recessed into the bottom corners. It's exactly 3" wide. I set it against the fence (having added 3" to my measurement) and the magnets keep it in place after registering the cutoff against it. I find 3" away from the fence is enough clearance for me personally. The magnets allow it to stick on the side of the tablesaw when not in use. I do like the idea of the small adjustment screw to the side. Maybe a bolt with a specific thread per inch would be even better. Something so, say 1/4 turn would be .002" or something along those lines. Have to think about that one.
