Sincerely mate…thank you for also including millimetres

[@grat2010]

Oh boy, this brought back memories of middle school trigonometry, which explains why I'm gonna have to re-watch several more times to fully understand 🤯😳😟

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

I hear you... this video turned out to be really math heavy. If I can help you in any way let me know.

[@n40tom]

It's simple math with a simple formula

[@charanderson6690]

Thank you so much for teaching how to make the jig. It will help so much. I will need to watch this more than once to make sure i got all the angles correct for the jig. But you really took the time to do the teaching and the math and how it all goes together.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the comment.

[@rtgray7]

New woodworker here so, after watching this, I'm feel both excited and overwhelmed! I'll watch it a few more times and hopefully be able to grasp it all :) Thanks so much. The Lord has gifted you for sure.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Hello new friend! Yes the Lord has gifted me, and it's only because of Him that I'm able to continue to do what I do. Please reach out here or on Instagram if you have questions or need help... I'm here for you. 🙏

[@rtgray7]

@@TrainingHandsAcademy Well thanks again. That is very encouraging to me as I start my day!

[@runforrestrun1965]

Awesome, that actually helps immensely with your showing the maths required and how to work the angles out for the mitre saw. Great. I always thought the angle cut was decreasing degrees from 90, it appears it’s increasing. I.e. from your 45 swinging the blade to the left would seem to me to be reducing the degrees from 45 to say 40 but you’re saying it’s actually increasing the degrees. Now I need to go and make this jig and practice a few times to get it in the brain! Thank you

[@arth.4196]

Very excellent instructions

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

The plans for that jig would be super helpful

[@maureenkoch7774]

I’ve been struggling with 2 cuts for our deck frame for 2 days now. THANK YOU for explaining that unmitered joins only need subtracted from 90! Just like that we made the cuts (they were finally right) and now we can start laying the boards!!

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Awesome!

[@peterhansson7967]

A good video that explains things in a good way. However, it is all about cutting angles LESS than 45°! With your reasoning a 90° angle should be 0°. It is all about what you have as reference and if you measure what you remove or the piece you keep

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Super instructional video. Best I have seen.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Wow, thanks!

[@ItsPhilH]

This is crazy helpful - glad I found it all these months after the upload. I don't think you covered this so I just wanted to ask: how do you find the half and quarter angles? Does your saw have markings for those? Or do you have some tool that verifies these angles for you that you use to set the saw before making the cuts. Terrific video as usual - your professionalism and concise teaching style is something to be revered!

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Hey there! I'm not sure I follow... What do you mean by half and quarter angles?

[@ItsPhilH]

@@TrainingHandsAcademy you mention 68.75, 64.5 and 57.5 degree cuts in this video. I was wondering how you set your miter saw for these angles specifically 😊

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

@@ItsPhilH That's right... I set the miter saw to those numbers as close as I can simply by using the saw's readouts. Going in between degrees to get the .5 is pretty easy, and when it comes to the .75, I just simply guess. The difference between .5 and .75 on a saw is not even noticeable. Bottom line, those numbers are what the math produces, I just try to get as close as I can with the saw. Hope that helps.

[@ItsPhilH]

@@TrainingHandsAcademy that definitely helps! Thought I missed something even on the second viewing. Good to know that wasn't the case and I just missed some wisdom from time spent in the craft. Thanks so much for the swift and coherent responses 😊

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

¡Gracias por el comentario mi amigo!

[@FreekHoekstra]

Oh that shelf/table is pretty neat! But not overly complicated. Might be my next project :D Edit, actually scaling this up to say a coffee table, would mean making the angle cuts would become rather complicated... Any tips for that?

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Yes they would get complicated because of their size. Off the top of my head (because I've never tired it), I would look into making a jig that would work similar to the one in this video that would hold a circular saw at a 45 degree angle. Not even sure that would be possible, but something to explore. :)

[@FreekHoekstra]

@@TrainingHandsAcademy yeah, thats what came to mind, sounds hazardous though, similarly risky for a table saw... well worth thinking about :) if i can think of a safe way i’ll post it

[@EscobarStyle]

So helpful my friend! Thank god we hardly do these deeper cuts at work but I’m sure it’ll come up soon. Question.. Any way you can make a video about how to adjust a saw blade on a miter saw? I noticed MANY (mine now) people when they buy their miters, it’s usually out of place and you have to adjust it yourself. I might have to 📱 you Sunday if that’s ok 🙏🏼

Hey Carlos! Thanks for the great video idea, I'll start thinking on that. We can totally catch up this weekend sometime if you need to... you know I'm always here for you bro. 👊

[@AndrewScarella]

Thanks for the video. I am new to using a miter saw and having difficulty making cuts on small pieces of wood. My training project was a few birdhouses. I couldn't figure out how to clamp the smaller pieces when making my cut, and didn't feel safe just holding the piece in place. The jig looks like it would fix that problem, are these available to purchase somewhere? It looks pretty straightforward to build, but not sure how to chamfer the edges. Thanks

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Hello. Thank you for the comment. No, I have never seen those for sale before.

[@oscarluevano5344]

Eres chingon!

[@thomasturk6163]

Great video and really great jig. I have been trying to build a memorial flag case that requires extremely sharp angles between the sides and base plate. I am using 3.25" wide boards but when I miter them (standing on edge) the resulting cut is not parallel but rather seems to skew at the exit end of blade. Is this an issue of the piece moving or the saw not being exactly at 90 deg. to the table.

[@paulmaryon9088]

yep great , tho of course 0 is in fact 90degrees already? good vid , thanks for posting

[@benwiggins1397]

I laid out something like you did here. I placed my angle finder on it, traced it out and when I Make the cut,they are always a few degrees off. The longer the stock, the worse off it is. Any ideas on what I May be doing wrong. I built the jig as you said.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Have you calibrated your saw lately? The error could be coming from there?

[@benwiggins1397]

@@TrainingHandsAcademy it’s accurate on 90 and 45 degrees, when I put the jig on, the cut is way off. I bet I’ve made 100 cuts and can’t get it right. I’m pretty sure the angle I come up with it correct. Something with the saw and it’s a brand new dewalt 12” compound miter

[@brianhogan9611]

Around 10:35 minutes in the video you say by moving 10 degrees to the left you cut at 54 degrees, but this would be 10 degrees less than 45 so would be 35 degrees. Am I misunderstanding something?

[@pirate_alumni9877]

Hi. How would that work with crown?

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Not sure, never tried it with crown. Good question!

[@garrettjagodinski8135]

But how do you make that cut when your base is 7.5 inches and doesn't fit under the saw to make that cut because it's too big?

[@gonzaloramirez3633]

At 2:18, the angle should be supplementary, not complementary. Supplement angles add to 180 while complementary angles add to 90 degrees.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

You get an A+

[@wkdemt6556]

@TrainingHandsAcademy, My Bottom support pieces are 4 3/4" long and I have lined it flush with the top board just like you demonstrate and have approximately 1/8" no more then 1/4" for the edge support. Yours on the video appears to be almost 1/2" is that about what should hang over?

Just measured mine... I have 3/8"

[@DrifterSpirit9]

I understand the utility of this jig but if you have no time to build it, wouldnt be faster just using the square instead?

It might be possible Lucian, but I've never tried it. Metal objects on my saw table always makes me nervous. :)

[@user-ip3yw8hc1k]

💥👌👍🤝😎

[@leo-ul5qv]

so how come you can’t just split that angle in half tho but say for other angles to bisect you can just draw it out and it’s half? Someone help please

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

To best answer that question, I recommend trying it. Let me know what you learn. :)

[@mealua]

how is this a 50 degree angle and not 35 degree angle at 10:34?

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

It's actually a 55 degree angle. 45+10

[@mealua]

by moving the saw over (from 45 degrees )you are cutting a more acute bevel, how can it be 55?

[@rodparker4514]

Use masking tape and super glue instead of two side tape .
