I am a retired trim carpenter and thought I knew all the tricks already. I thought wrong. Thank you for this very informative video, I learned from it. I also enjoyed your style of teaching without the silly jokes and distracting music. Thank You, for being you, and making this video.

Seeing you use the eraser on the pencil as a push stick for a small cut was such a great idea. Cant believe I hadnt thought of that.

I actually 3D printed a zero clearance insert for my Bosch. Most files can be found on shared sites for free. It has made a huge difference.

I nearly skipped your vdo because I still don't have a mitre saw. Now I'm glad I watched until the end. You are a such a gem, capable, clear and concise. 😊

This is great! ✅Useful tips ✅Clear, concise explanations ✅Demonstrations backing everything up The air quality measurements were particularly convincing!

Excellent tips! I like that you don't necessarily recommend one product but rather a concept, and suggest that the concept be adopted!

I have one of those ten million dollar sticks and use it all the time. Highly recommend

Love your channel I am 66 and learning myself. Love your tips and work, love the hold down stick

One of the best, most useful woodwork channels on KZfaq. Thanks.

Such a terrific video packed with so much super useful information. Presentation was clear, and to the point. Learned a lot!!! Thank you for sharing. 😊

Great tips. Thanks for the reminder that you can make, instead of buy, many shop aids. I’ve found that building shop aids also improves your skills.

I really enjoyed your exceptionally brilliant tips "...on making your Mitre-Saw better..."! Your delivery is spot on and I am grateful for your video! Well-done!

Bonjour Marie, another great way to improve your dust collection is to add this Dust chute from Shop Nation. i have one and it works great !! Great video again !!!

Thanks Marie, for another video with excellent tips for the workshop! For small part cutting on the chop saw, I use a long handled windshield ice scraper from the dollar store. True Canadians always have several around. Watched your videos for years, and have been a PA shopper!

Thanks for all the tips, Marie! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Excellent tip for the miter saw. The two I’m going to work on soon are the kerf tape and the sliding doors for dust isolation. Great job, thanks!

Thank you, Marie, These are some great tips. Love and Respect from North London UK

The automated switches for dust collectors are a must, IMO. So much more effective than having to remember to turn on the dust collection everytime you use the tool.

Great tips. I have the new Flex saw. The dust collection is 70% better than any other miter saw I've used. The zero clearance tape. Oh my goodness. That would have saved me an afternoon fighting to that stupid zero clearance block in place properly. Thank you!

Great suggestion about the zero clearance tape. I also use a vacuum switch & dust collector cyclone. Both are big pluses.

That’s what that wishbone stick is for! Didn’t think about doing a zero clearance jig. I did add a back support board after adding the yellow tape.

Thanks for all the great tips Marie! I will be implementing them into my miter saw soon. Always enjoy your video's!!!

I definitely need one of those 10 million dollar sticks. I also really like that vacuum control. Good job on the video.😊

Good tips, thanks for the video, I ordered the 10 million dollar stick straight away. greetings from Europe - Greece

Una belleza de sierra pero con la falta de trabajo que casi no hay toca buscar una económica nomas, me gusto mucho los tips , saludos

That was a really informative video. Essentially viewing. V impressed. Thank you

4:55 That's what I was thinking when you brought up the tape earlier 😮

Very timely video as I'm building a miter station today. My dust collection is going to be a bit of a challenge because under my miter station/bench is my dog run for my dogs. They're kept out of my shop with hog fence on the front of my miter station bench. I love your shroud and how you can slide it out of the way, think I'll need to implement that into mine. Also love the tip on the no clearance tape. Thanks for sharing.

An exceptional video! It is well prepared and love the air quality meter used near the end!

When cutting small or thin moulding, while your updated fence is perfect, in a pinch, pun, I would use a sacrificial piece behind the moulding to allow more of the saw contact rather than back of saw which tends to throw the piece. Love the shopvac setup.

All are great suggestions. Since you are much younger than most woodworkers - 1/3 my age - if you can afford it buy a rolling miter saw stand to help with the old back. I bought the Bosch stand which is way more expensive than yours though. Miter saws can be dangerous so do all you can.

Worth the subscription

Thanks for the video. I would recommend, on your zero clearance jig, that you just CA glue an 1"-2" strip on the bottom side of the jig on both the right and left side flush with the plate. This allows you to just slide your jig off and on without having to fasten it to the miter saw. Works like a champ. I wished I could take credit, but I saw this on @731Woodworks KZfaq channel from a video he did about must-have jigs for the miter saw.

That’s the best ‘tip’ for mitre saw I have seen , concise, well explained and not hard on the pocket , I learned heaps from you , thank you very much 👍😊

On my saw which is the same as yours in video were totally adjustable for zero clearance. 😊

Time to upgrade my miter saw!

Thank you so much for this. Never thought of a sled for the miter saw. Great tips!!

I find that breathing in the beautiful sawdust reduces the amount of polluted air I'm forced to breath, but I will build this, thank you x.

I love the sled jig! It solves both the zero-clearance issue while also stability. I think I would also make another one with bevels

A Shop Nation dust boot for that saw wood be a great addition. lol

Excellent Video! I will look into the iVac switch! Very good points on supporting one’s work, but @ 06:42 DON’T lift up until blade has stopped! This is a pet peeve of mine, and I get pushback ( no pun ) from a lot of people. I have used miter saws for over 20 years, and having small pieces fly out when lifting the head with the blade either coasting down, or even running, is not safe. I get it that this can add extra time to the work process, but at the cost of a bad injury? Stay safe! 👍

Wow, these are all awesome ideas and presented in a very clear, concise way. I rarely comment but just had to tell you that. Definitely a fan!

Thanx, very helpful video. At least one or two things you named I hadn't done. Keep up the good work.

Excellent tips. All of these suggestions improves safety and good health. Thank you.

Great tips. The only one that I would add, as I found it useful, is the raise up the miter saw above the table about 1 1/2 inches (a 2x4) so that you can vacuum under the saw when necessary.

Great video. Watched other videos similar but you have motivated me now do something about it. I’ll definitely make a hood to go with my shop vac. Thank you.👍

Great video. Great ideas explained in a straight easy to follow way. Thank you.👍

Practical, affordable & very helpful tips!

Hi I'm Tim , this is the first video I have seen of yours. Good tips, that actually makes a difference!!! Timothy

Thanks for the concise video - I've been using the zero clearance tape, but I'm going to be building the table and dust hood as well. I'd like to point out that tear out can be further reduced by slowing the cut and not lifting the saw until it comes to a complete stop.

Great video! Thanks 👍

Some great ideas thank you for sharing

I just wish my Bosch would stay square! Ive made adjustment after adjustment and it seems fine for the first few cuts then seems to go out after that. Ive followed their directions using 2 or 3 different squares, digital angle reader and all are good at first. I had to rip down a 15" 1x10 for a sign and within those 15" it was off a fat 1/16th.

That vac switch box, love the idea but I like to keep my Bosch (15amps) and my Rigid Vac (12amps) on two different circuits, I wish they made one to do this lol

Thank You for a great tutorial. I will take it all in and do the improvements. Take care and thank you again. 😉

I 3D printed a hold-down stick Work great!

As usual, super helpful info., Marie. Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge. I also really appreciate your no-nonsense and efficient video production (while still being “entertaining”). I always look forward to your releases.

Thank you for the tips. Many of them that I'll make in practice right now. By the way, I like your t-shirt (in french ;) )

Thanks for another great vid Marie. And for adding the links. I've never seen Zero clearance tape before! It's next on my list.

Excellent as always!

Great video! Thank you! Enjoy your teaching also! New subscriber!

Muchas gracias!!!

Good video. Thank you for the phrase- "That sucks, and not in a good way." I think it is about time that the process of applying negative pressure be celebrated and not maligned and associated as bad as it has always been. I fully intend to add that "and not in a good way" suffix every time I hear someone say "that sucks", which in my shop is about 100 times a day since some of my employees can be idiots. (over and over and over, ugh) This sounds like I am kidding but in fact I am serious since that damaging phrase has annoyed me for many decades. Cool saw tips, will check out your other videos. BTW- when chop saws came out we started using old drapes around ours to help contain the dust. We had used some of that on our big radial arm saws and the difference was HUGE. Yes I have been in the business over 40 yrs and just got around to watching youtube stuff.

Great video w/ very helpful tips!!!!

Great upgrade tips, thanks!!

Good tips

Useful information. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks again for an outstanding video

Thanks for the great tips

Very useful video. Thanks for sharing.

I always waching your videos and especially your youtube videos abouts Laser Engraver and Cutter, and I really learn a lot from you. I'm so sorry if only this time I subscibe from your video, Your videos really very informative and help a lot of people from the Philippines.

Thank you for this video 😊😊😊

Great tips, thank you!

Thanks!! Appreciate the information.

Great tips Thanks for sharing

That was very informative . Thank you . Julien

You might want to consider full kerf blades. I know the thin kerf blades use less ]over but can get alittle squirrely, especially when they get hot or your miter cutting a hard moulding. Nice clean shop!

Nice video and great tips!

I make the back sub fence on my drop in zero clearance sub table thick enough to reach the center of the blade. That allows flat bottomed nibble dadoes. Blocks against the fence can do this as well

Dans la vie il y a des cactus by Jacques Dutronc. A pretty good French oldie. Personally Paris s’eveille is perhaps more appropriate for a former Parisian & very good too. I digress, your tips are to my simple mind fairly common sense but most important to get the best from your mitre saw. Very well done. Kind regards.
