I have two circular saws, a 7-1/4" and a 6-1/2". One thing I love about this simple design is that I can have a single track guide for both. You cut one side for your saw. You could easily cut the other side for a 2nd saw. BAM!

Thanks for the wonderful clip. I built two. One four and one eight footer. My base piece was already a cut off and needed use a chalk line to make sure it was straight. Unless you have a factory edge, I would probably use a known straight edge or a line for your fence reference mark. Thanks once again.

Great video. What a number of commenters are missing is that by using the wide base board to attach your guide to, it provides a secure clamping surface onto the object being cut. The clamps don't interfere with the saw motor as it rides above the guide, especially if you're using a trim saw that has a shallower depth of cut.

Great video. Thank you! I have a couple of things to add for the new person. When you are screwing in the small strip (guide) and it's not perfect, use your combination square to confirm the distance to the edge. Most inexperienced people don't know that a line has 3 sides. a left, right and middle. Sharp pencils and thin lines are always good, if you are into being accurate. Also when clamping an 8 ft section then clamping the other end, double check your 1st clamp. It usually moves. You may need to re-adjust both sides a couple of times, if you care. Hope this helps. Yes, this jig does work. Over time, this jig may warp so I've always wondered about sealing it with something and also storing this in a way that won't promote warping is always a good idea. Hope this helps!

All I wonder is just why so many of you wood people talk so much on your videoes, and in a language like if we, the viewers, are either morons or children??? If people buy a circular saw, set up a little workshop, or do a bit of DIY, maybe it's because they already know a bit about a thing or two!
@IntroVent2
@IntroVent2 9 жыл бұрын
It doesn't matter if you use a chalk like or a square as long as the line you draw between the two marks is straight. Once you plunge the saw for your first cut, it will make the edge you are going to use. He could have screwed the guide on anywhere, as long as it was true. Personally, I think a chalk line is just a bit too wide and blurry for such a small project.

2 points: the piece under the track is the piece you keep so you don’t have to account blade width which defeats the purpose of 0 clearance. That’s why your cut wasn’t 1 inch. And trim the other side off with the other side of the saw and then you can use both sides of the saw and track.

The nice thing about building your own track saw track is that you can make it any think you want. So if you are doing short cuts you can make yourself a short track saw track so you don't have to carry around a long one. I too have festools track saw tracks in different lengths. The trick is the quality of the initial assembly and build of this track. The more carefully and accurately you build the track the better your your finished work project will be. The trick also is the quality of the saw blade you are using.

Nice video, but could be easier. Years ago someone was tossing out an old metal bed frame. It's a piece of angle iron.. I use two clamps, one at each end and zip the saw along using the angle iron as a fence. Another trick I was taught was to make a scoring cut first instead of the blue tape. A scoring cut of 1/8". Will prevent the splintering and I think is faster than taping method.

This is a fantastic, cheap way to cut a straight line. I usually clamp my level to the workpiece, but then I'm always accounting for the width of the saw sled. Great job, but bro...switch to decaf!! :-)

I used to do the same thing but it was a pain to calculate the offset from the cutline and accounting for kerf. Made one of these using hardboard and pine I'd got lying around and saved myself a load of time and effort.

I just clamp a straight board 1 1/2 from where I cut. Good enough for rough framing. This track I'll use for finish work. But narrow strips I use my left finger for a guide.

don't forget to allow for the kerf of the saw blade if you are not cutting on the waste side of the line

This a nice technique, but you can save yourself a lot of trouble and get a more stable edge by using a length of aluminum box section rather than wood for the straight edge. I also find over time that the plywood edge gets chipped and I have to move the straight edge over and retrim it to get a flush edge again. I actually use a piece of 65x5mm aluminum flatbar, but box section would be better as it would be taller, and thus more difficult to bounce the saw over (that's happened at least a couple of times as my saw has rounded flanges on the fence).

I've been using this kind of guide for years (decades, actually!). Only thing I did different - I used 1/4 inch hardboard for the base board and screwed guide board from below. Took a little more work to get the edge true, but it weighs a fraction of what yours does and it's much easier to sling around in the shop. Cheers!

Great tool, but forget the combo square and just use a chaulkbox. It's critical that the stop be set to a straight line - a combo square will just follow an out of whack edge.

He is using the 'factory' cut side of the board, I find these are ALWAYS straight.

After I watched the awesome jig you showed everyone how to build, I read and I couldn't believe all the stupid comments about "cocaine use"? How rude and despicable! The correct response should be; thanks Austin that was helpful. Fortunately there are the serious viewers that were gracious and showed gratitude. Embarrassing to have so many dumb as**s in the world.

You definitely work like a carpenter... My dad and all his buddies are almost the exact same way. I've learned over the years just to stay out of the way.
