Thank you! This is the best & simplest way to build a table for circular saw cutting without needing any more materials & techniques!

I just noticed that you're using the Kreg drill bit as a drill bit & countersink, neat trick for shallow drilling!

Looks great! I would recommend that you add a second piece of "fence" on the right side of the saw, so that you won't be able to accidentally wander to the right when you slide it during a cut. That would make it more like a supercharged track saw :) Oh, and add some wax on the "track" pieces for smoother rides :)

Brilliant! Easy to make jig solves so many problems for people like me who don't have a table saw.

Great video. I love that you showed the finished project and it's use first. Gave me the "so what" up front and made me want to watch and build one.

Fantastic idea for those of us without a miter saw or table saw. Thank you!

Quick lesson I learned making this; watch the height of your guide rail. My Ryobi One+ has very little space between the motor housing and the rail. My first attempted failed abysmally with MDF scrap as the rail because it lifted the entire saw at an angle. Tomorrow I'm gonna try again by resetting the guide and using some 2mm ply for the guide rail.

Being a average woodworker and having many pieces of equipment available I do see where I can use such a crosscut jig. I also help others working on their homes and can't move my equipment to their location so again it would be very useful. Great video and for those who nit pick on you about this or that get real and give it a rest and enjoy the video and relax.

Oh nice! Now i don't have to hate my circular saw anymore.

Hi! I wanted to thank you for making this video. I did the Jig and now I can make accurate cuts! Greetings from Argentina!

Great guide, works a treat. As others have said I added another track to support and guide the narrow side of the saw. Just helps keep everything straight.

Thank you for making this video, I am new to woodworking and this is exactly what I need. You're a good teacher and that is something I am not new at. Best Wishes Always.

Great video... I am making this now. I am going to make this for cutting multiple 2x4's in one pass so that they are cut exactly the same. Thanks for the video.

i just cut 200 ft of extruded aluminum angle by building one of these, worked beautifully! thanks!

Thank you. I like simple. I could have used that this weekend before I turned my project into firewood lol

Just made your jig with spare wood and it's the PERFECT solution! Thanks

Thank you, this was very helpful! I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. The crosscut jig will save me time and frustration when making perpendicular cuts. Without this jig configuration, the circular saw wanders enough to ruin many cuts - without a fence making freehand cuts. I can now cut with confidence knowing the circular saw is riding against the fence making the cuts square and uniform with the use of the sled. Keep making great videos. I am a subscriber with the notification bell set for any new projects that you may be uploading in the future. I would like to take the time to go through the videos and playlists that you have created. Unfortunately, I do not have the time today - I have a sled and a crosscut jig to build to help make my afternoon less difficult and stressful. I will be back to your channel to watch previous videos, thanks again. Oh, your videos are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much more professional than other videos that I have watched. That is important to me and should be important to all who come to KZfaq for a quality learning experience. You have created a video that is edifying and to-the-point; without providing extraneous information that takes up my time and is not valuable to what I am looking to learn.

Best one yet simple and easy!!! I'll be making that one,thank you :-)

that's really an outSTANDING tutorial. clear and concise. had me cross cutting with my circular today! : } thanks for sharing your expertise.

This is great, much easier than all those two rail saw track ones in other people's videos, yet still just as effective. I built one for a workbench project, and have been using it to great effect. The only problem I found was the side rails (to the workpiece sled) didn't stay completely vertical after fixing, probably due to the screws pulling the base of the rails in, or maybe the ply edges not being totally square. I changed the design to fit larger side rails to wide timber supports running below the ply, which keeps everything square. Anyway, many thanks as you've saved me having to buy a chop saw!

A quick removable stop block at the end would make it even cooler

So simple and well thought out! Thank you for sharing😄

Thanks for sharing. This is so helpful and brilliant. Made one to cut a few pieces of 2x4 and it's perfect.

I love the way you work and explain your project. Useful ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Yes! That's simple. There are however slightly more complex cross-cut jig that have tracks for your saw so that you do not need to press the saw on the left.

This is awesome don’t need a lot of material to do this project. I’m going to make one thanks for video.

Simple and SWEET! Thank You!

Wonderful. Very simple but very useful. How about putting the particle board piece little wider to the right side and cut the excess when we make the trial cut to be sure it’s touching the blade ? Again your idea is great. Thanks for sharing.

Definitely making this guide! GREAT JOB

this is just what ive been looking for, thank you for sharing

Just what I need ! This will be my first project,thank you

made your jig works fine- hope you don`t mind i added a couple of T nuts & bolts on the left of the back cross piece by adjusting the bolts it lets me cut at a angle.

Perfect for small projects. Not got a lot of power so if the wood starts to flex it stops the saw pretty easy. Use it for small tasks and you will be happy. Safety system Works great kzfaq.infoUgkxjpBI8OOeUXib_iT7UomCrQ-uauwZJ62c .lose your grip on the saw it shuts off and the sheath closes over exposed saw.

Thanks. Will use this in the coming days.

Loved this jig

Excellent, for new comers you are the best to teach. I can make one now, thanks a million. 👍👍

Great job! I loved the music!

I liked your video a lot, very practical and inexpensive tip, thanks.

For us newbies, could you please include the dimensions of each piece of wood you used? This looks like a good size for most needs. Loved the video. Thanks for sharing!

cool and very useful Jig thanks a mill.

Looks SO easy even I can do it.....awesomeness!!!

This is a great video. You certainly have talent.

I wish I could've seen this video before I bought my $500 Rigid table saw. This jig would've saved alot of money and space in the garage.

I am a fan of the maestro PETER as well. You did good. I have a bench top that Want to use to make it a working bench. Will use some of the things you did.

TQ for sharing knowledge. Sharing is caring.

Nice! And your explaination is very good, imo.

excellent work, excellent tutorial, the best I saw on this topic and very useful, I can't wait to do it, thank you very much for the advice, greetings from Argentina

excellent...clear simple presentation

Excelente idea saludos desde Perú 🇵🇪!!!

I would recommend attaching a piece of 2x material to the ends of the saw track so when the saw is outside the cut tray, some unnoticed material get hit by the moving blade and is fired across the work area possibly injuring someone or damaging property.

Extremely helpfull, thank you so much!

made one today works a treat

Thank you Much...It s amazing how simple it is...and so helpful

I might make one of these and put an extra removable fence closer to the edge to run a router along. Handy for doing grooves etc for shelving.

Great video.. Needed this

I've tried it and it was perfect thanks alot

Really good video, thank you.

I was half expecting Safety Dan to show up!

Thank you. It was helpful.

This is exactly the jig I was looking for--one that will let me make the same exact cuts over and over. I live in an apartment, and everything needs to be something I can pack away. I probably won't make this until I actually need to use it, but it'll be really useful. If I need to make identical cuts on really long boards (like a 4.5-foot-high bookcase w/ two sides), I guess I can just make this longer, right? Or maybe clamp 2x4s to the side rails, and then clamp a stop to the 2x4? I'll have to figure tha tout.

Yes, very useful. Thank you

Thanks, didn't want to go buy a chop saw for laminate flooring. Used these for siding a lot, called them cut tables.

simple and super. I just make my self such one.

Thanks man, i really like this design, it works really well. I have just finished it and made a pretty decent cut with it. I have Makita saw and I bought a really cheap blade from Lidl, I am surprised how well it cuts. I has more teeth thant the original Makita one. Happy days

Very nice thanks for sharing

wow, very nice !!!This will help me a lot !! (-: Thank you so much

Coisas simples geralmente são reflexos de inteligência. Parabéns, desde o Brasil....

Easiest vid so far. Ty

For the fence, I'd attach it just a little farther from the edge. Then your first cut would cut the front and back rails and also cut the edge of the guide the perfect distance from the fence, with no worries that you get off a little in your fence measurement.

This is a very practical video, thank you! Do you perhaps have other similar videos? I am new at woodwork I started with wood turning. I am building up my workshop and does not have all the larger machines, i.e. bandsaw, drill press etc.

Excellent !!!

I wished I would have saw this before starting my floating shelf project. Would have made things a whole lot easier. I will probably make this guide before I start my second shelf. Looks like the cutting guide is limited to the size of material that will fit under the guide . I think when I make mine I will make it to fit a 2x4 underneath the guard just in case I ever need to cut 2x4s the same length.

I appreciate the way you showed the product upfront , all too often You don't get to see what it looks like until the end And I don't want to hang around That long But I did with you

I love your videos, As much as anybody's

Loved it.

dont ever leave the skill saw unattended with the blade still spinning sir ...and nice jig sir, smart and simple

thank to you sir it was very helpfull nice job keep goin

GREAT IDEA

Just what i looking for, My table saw is to small for crosscutting 3ft long boards, this will work great on my workbench with my PC skilsaw

Great video, and thanks for doing this. Just a little safety tip ... at 6:52, you placed your hand behind the saw, while the blade was still turning; if you had accidentally snagged the cord, or bumped the saw, it could have kicked or walked back onto your hand. Please keep your hand on the saw handle, until the blade stops turning. Some less informed folks may not see the danger in this.

Thanks for showing this simple idea. I'm always looking for the simplest approach to common problems and this really fills the bill. (Lotsa "I can do better than you folks" out there...kinda irritating.)

You are the best !!!!

Ty friend I,m making one

very nice!

Love it. I feel inspired to make one. Please, what is the music that is playing in the background?

Great job ! :-))

thank you

wow.. that's so simple

brilliant!

Great, thank you.

I did not hear the dimensions of the pieces to cut. Can you please give those dimensions of the pieces I need to cut to make this jig. Thanks

OK I have a thought hopefully I can explain it without sounding dumb. Instead of measuring with your saw base and marking with a pencil, you could just get a piece of wood that you KNOW is wider than your saw base, then get a known straight edge piece of wood. Attach your straight edge wood to the larger base, then just use the saw, pressed up against the straight edge to cut the excess off. then is exactly the right distance from the fence to the blade.

Grato por compartilhar!

Awesome!

Brilliant.

I like it good job

Complimenti !!!!!!!!!

why not putting the edge guide on the other side of the saw? I built this particular circular saw jig and it seems to be slightly off with the guild on the left side . be sure to put it on the right

Brilliant idea. This is exactly what I am looking for. I noticed you use very thick board for the edge guide, will that reduce the cutting depths a bit?

Good simple idea. What are the specs of the jig pieces?
