@CasualDIY3 жыл бұрын
Hehe I know many that far better tools than I do 🤣 and trust me they have not even been on the same shelf in store next to "sophisticated" tools. Most of them are on par with Lidl and Aldi tools. You can't DIY without any tools. Sure you can tackle many projects with a hammer and a handsaw but let's be honest you will be very limited. And remember not having the tools is not an excuse to not tackle a project. Think what tools you got and adjust the project to those. With some imagination you could probably do this plate with some hand tools ( and the tablesaw as you already have it). So no excuses 👍

Works great for multi use evo blade but I wouldn't want to put a wood blade through it. Mine have s sightly wider kerf and there's a bit of wobble on the saw as it gets up to speed. I've made a second to experiment with, am looking at cutting a wider opening and epoxy filling.

Once again, goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway: Great tutorial! Thanks for taking the time - I'm guessing rather a lot of time - to share the making of this rather useful addition to the already excellent Rage5s. However, you took the words out of my mouth towards the end of the tutorial. As soon as I see multiple steps and machines being used, I tend to start asking myself exactly how much time do I want to be investing in this useful, but relatively minor upgrade. Alas, the answer, on this occasion, is not a great deal. Call me lazy, but I'll be sticking - no pun intended - with the gaffer tape for now. You must have been reading my mind as the regards the second point you make. We all know this from using tape, or a thin offcut of plywood as a temporary zero-clearance plate: there is nowhere for the dust to go but straight up! As you say, though, we are not talking hundreds of metres of thin strips at a go, a wee bit of dust is a lot better, and safer, than thin strips of timber being fired in your direction! You are, however, rightly proud of a rather lovely looking hardwood creation.🎨

@carloduroni56294 жыл бұрын
Hi Tomasz, I made my plate weeks ago 'cause, as you said, the original one is pretty crappy and surely the major fault of this saw. To be honest, I never even imagined to make it out of wood. First, I tried with plexiglas, but it was thicker than needed and I didn't have a router (yet). Also, cutting it with the same saw (I don't have a bandsaw either) was quite a mess, for plexi melts if the saw produces too much heat and the cut is very ragged and difficult to rectify. I ended up splashing out 27€ for a 4mm thick 50x50cm sheet of aluminium (the rest of it will serve for other projects). That's because 4mm is the exact depth of the "rabbet" running around the plate. If you get a 4mm material then you don't need any thickness adjustment. Then I cut the four sides with the same saw as well as the central groove (the way you did). It took A LOT of filing to make the rounded corners and to widen and refine the groove. Remember that you can easily cut the groove with the original multi-material blade but that is 2mm wide only and thus you need to enlarge the cut to fit wider blades (the Evo wood blade I have is 2.4mm). The shutting mechanism surely is a bit tricky. I made it (in alu, as well as the two notches) but it's so stiff that the screwdriver has already somewhat eaten into the head of the screw. Luckily, I found that the plate stays in place even without locking it (I know: it's not the top of safety features, eh?). Take care.
@ianmathieson654 жыл бұрын
On my 5S, the depth of the flange on which the plate sits was more than 4 mm and wasn’t even consistent. It varied between 4.5 and 4.75 mm which ruled out 4 mm aluminium. I bought some Perspex (acrylic) sheet with a nominal thickness of 5 mm which actually measured 4.9 mm and made two insert plates from that, one for 90 degree cuts and one for 45 degrees. But first I had to run my router around the recess to bring it all to a constant depth. The proof that the depth variation was nit due to poor depth measurements was that at the first pass of the router, it took metal off one side but didn’t even touch the other side so a second pass was needed after tweaking the router depth setting. Surprisingly, I found the router cut noticeably deeper into the metal at both ends, between the two locating tongues and where the rotating tag fits under the flange to hold the plate down. Even at 4.9 mm thick, the blade raised the new plate up slightly before cutting the slot but the plate was sufficiently well located that I was able to lower it carefully onto the rotating blade without lateral movement, to get the slot started (after removing the riving knife, of course). Once firmly seated it was then just a case of winding the blade up to its maximum height, then lowering it fully while I flipped the plate ever end for end to finish the slot exactly as Thomasz did, to create the slot extension so the riving knife could be replaced. I have yet to make the plate for 45 degree cuts and have spare material so I can make a third plate which will accommodate all other angles in a single plate, albeit with greater clearance, but at least this will be a much neater fit around the blade than the original horrible plastic plate.

That is a neat solution to this problem. Making mine will have to wait though because my Rage 5S packed in shortly after I started using it and is currently boxed up waiting to be collected. In the last 6 months I’ve had to send back a broken brand new press drill and a defective router lift. After much arguing with Rutland I might add who refused to believe it was faulty. The replacement they reluctantly sent worked fine I’m glad to say. Is it just my rotten luck or are tools pretty shoddy these days? I’m an old style Toolmaker to trade so I’m not unfamiliar with machinery and I can say hand on heart that none of it’s been down to me. My next purchase is a band saw and I’m looking at the Metabo 261. I expect I’ll have to send that back as well. Any way, enough moaning. Thanks again for another good vid.

Daniel Hardy: There’s a technique involved in getting the fence to clamp parallel to the dado slots every time. The problem with Evolution’s otherwise excellent fence which clamps at the outfeed end in addition to the infeed end is that the two white nylon pads at the infeed end are rather too close together so its easy to tighten the fence clamp while pulling the fence slightly out of square. My technique is to push the infeed end containing the two white pads firmly against the aluminium runner BEFORE then tightening the fence clamp. This ensures the clamp at the outfeed end pulls cleanly and squarely onto the aluminium extrusion forming the edge of the table without any tendency to pull the fence out of square. I evolved this technique after noticing that my fence sometimes tightened out of square and repeated ‘tests’ showed a bit if scatter in the squareness. Using this technique I was able to obtain true squareness every time.

P.S. It also ensures the cursor stays over the desired marking on the scale every time. If the fence is pulled out of square while tightening it’s clamp, the cursor. can also move slightly from the required position on the scale.

Good job! But it should be way easier to make an insert plate... have a love/ hate relationship with this saw...
@CasualDIY4 жыл бұрын
I know right. I have to make something much easier and simple as I got different blades so will need few of those plates 🤔

Ok you did already an amazing job so sure you will really fine tune the process... I was wondering if getting rid of the original ledge and making a few new lower supports with set screws could make it easier in the end...

By the way if you’re willing to make this as a product to sell I’ll be interested...

Use thin flat ply sheet and you’ll not need the deep cutting bandsaw rip, or thicknesser operation nor routing a channel on the underside. Use a router with guide bearing to pattern match the orange plate and you’ll not need the accurate bandsaw profile, a jigsaw would do, even recip saw would do it, or a plain old job site hand saw. Glues! It is almost a cult..or meme, now that you ‘must’ do a double bond with CA plus regular pva/aliphatic wood glue….but this is not at all necessary…CA is immensely strong on its own and the religious use of ‘activator’ on small joints is totally unnecessary with normal CA. Alternatively the normal wood glue (a la Titebond etc) is also plenty strong enough on its own…just try separating the wood once it is fully dry. I am surprised those little lugs were not also clamped with small screws (j/k) as all joints on YT wood work vids seem to absolutely need CA + PVA + plus several wood screws even for the lowest stress/largest area joints!

Just an ideea. I ordered my saw two days ago so I did not see it yet live but from the presentation video I understand that there is a space between the table and the fence. Keeping that in mind, I think there would be possible to lay a sheet of acrylic or some sort of thin material on the table and raise the blade so that it makes a zero clearence... table :) Just saying... Cheers!

Would you make your Zero clearance insert plates and sell them? And ship to Australia?
@CasualDIY4 жыл бұрын
I'm making a version 2 of this insert, less tools and easier process. I will make few more for sale on my Etsy but shopping cost to Australia would be too great to be a reasonable cost to pay for anyone I think.
