Every time your hands come close to one of your various saw blades, I wince.

Love this. Straight edge clamps are incredibly handy.

A set of three aluminum guides were one of my first Rockler purchase. Really love those things and your wooden one is very well made. I shelled out for the larger clamp surfaces you screw wood jaws on. I absolutely love that they're wide enough to be the saw offset. I also bought the nice solid plastic saw guide for it and even ignoring the guiding it provides it has zero clearance you cut yourself where the blade teeth are so I avoid chip out. Love how easily you made making a guide look.

John, thank you for making your plans very thorough and not over priced. I have bought a number of your plans and I will to continue to buy the one I find interesting and useable in my shop. Thanks for sharing

hands down by far the best thing you’ve designed and built to date ..i cannot believe this does not already exist its so simple it’s beautiful.

John, I really appreciate your time, effort and especially your talents/ abilities. I've been watching your videos for nearly two years now and I include you in my top 5 makers who've impacted my life in a very positive way. Thank you again for sharing your creativity and experience with all of us. All the best in all of your endeavors.

I love this design! I will be building one of these for my shop soon. Thanks for sharing!

Your fence gets an award from me. I've built two for my saws and they work flawlessly.

You never cease to amaze me John. Thank you for all you do! 👍

This would be amazing to build into a zero clearance circular saw guide, what a timesaver, Great job Mr Heisz.

Love your table saw mini sled. For those that don't know this is an excellent way to make this kind.of cut. I hope to build this today.

Nice. Simple. Effective. Generally I find cut offsets to be tool and blade dependent, and tend to label said tool-blade combination rather than the jig/fence.

The best one can get on the Internet!

Excellent, I'll be buying these plans for sure.

John, I am going to get your plan and make one of these as a birthday gift for my son. I was thinking that making this zero clearance would be awesome. Love your creativity..

John, it's amazing. Congratulations.

You are one of the best things on KZfaq. Your innovative style is awesome. So glad we have this avenue for people like you to create entertaining and educational content. Thank you sir.

Cool jigga there john no more excuses for my wobbly cuts once i make this 👍. I saw the new mini compass in there too . I best make that first 👍👍

Exactly what i needed back when i made a small shelf. Altho i got away bsck then with a long wood plank and a pair of clamps, it wasnt much of a comfortable solution. Going to build now this idea you gave us. Thank you a lot!

Alright! Was waiting for these plans. Gonna get them now.

Great project! I've wanted a commercial one for years. But this may be the answer.

Really nice John! Love your videos! Always cheap to build and extremely accurate.

Very nice project and video. The simplicity of the design makes it really great. Thanks.

When the carpenter is creative, he crosses all limits! Fabulous

I don't know if it has ever happened to you......synchronisation! Out of the last five build projects you have posted, I have been thinking about four of them concurrently. I did not purchase your new disc belt sander plan becuase just a couple of days before you posted your video I had purchased your plan on the older version which is suitable for a drill. But I did purchase your straight edge plan today as it was just the thing I wanted. And I also wanted to share with you that I built your older wooden K clamps. I built one and am mightily pleased with it. I am going to build five more now :-) And there are so many more of your projects I am planning to build. Somehow my style of working and thinking matches the most with you...so far 😀 Thanks for all your sharing. Helps me tremendously as I learn only from You Tube. Self taught basically. Man...when are you going to stop getting new ideas !

Wow, I'm making this, I'm going buy the plans now. Thank you, I've been looking for something like this for ages. Brilliant

Your designs are excellent and I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing!

You never fail to find a way to make things better, simply by design. This right here is classic Heisz "mechanations in wood."

Brother, you're a genius. Thanks for uploading. Big thumbs up.

Awesome video and project. Your videography and production just seem to keep getting better and better :)

I can vouch for the table saw fence, love it

Izzy and John on the same day. WOW!!!!!

I am one of your followers from Egypt and admire all your works

Again a great build. Suggestion: cut at the beginning and and 2 slots on the top part of the jig. That way you could install 2 spacers for your saw when lining up your jig . After you are set and clamped you can remove the spacers and start cutting . You can build different spacers depending on your tools

As always, a home run. Thanks for sharing John.

Great Gadget! To improve it and make it easier to set up I would make two blocks that slides over your guide which has the offset markings for your circular saw, Router and Jigsaw

Another clever build. Thank you!

Excellent project! I'm convinced there is nothing you cant fabricate! I keep waiting for you to make a plunge cut track saw lol

awesome build John! I will never understand why videos like this get thumbs down by viewers.

I bought ur fence plays about a year and a half ago..and it's awesome it deserves a award thanks for all ur plans it helps a lot I bought the Kobolt job saw and the fence was sorry so i seen urs and I took and replaced the top and build ur fence and it's like a 800$ saw now lol just from ur fence thanks a lot....

Thanks for this one John! Just what I need.

Well thought out, clever tool. Thanks for the video.

Writing the offset on it is genius!

Great job on the clamp John! Thanks for sharing the video with us.👍😎JP

Great idea I will definitely be making one in the near future. Thanks for your efforts.

Love to see when you use your homemade table saw

thx, the lock concept help me improve my future project

Can vouch for the table saw fence. I bought the plans and built the fence about 1 year ago. It works brilliantly.

Excellent build! Thanks for sharing

Handy tool to have around the workshop, thanks!

I have one of those cheezy aluminum and plastic guides from Princess Auto, but this one looks far better. Have to wait for spring to build it!

Just a guy how likes handy things. You sir make very handy and useful things

resawn plywood..... these are the things I come here for! Next challenge, book match it... (Love your stuff, keep it coming)

love your videos John (a fan from belgium)

nice build. I have a very similar clamp/rail that I bought from Lidl as they were selling them cheap and the thing is useless as a straight edge; the body is aluminium and it flexes laterally towards the middle when you're pushing against it.

ouaaaaaaaaaa super idées je découvre encore et encore même a 60 ans . merci pour les idées et la vidéo

Thanks for this....it will make my life also way easier in the shop....

Beautiful stuff, John.

Another cool and useful video. Thanks John!

simple and useful tool! thank you for video!

Very nice and very useful. -John, glue some rough-grit sandpaper (like grit 40 or 60) on the clamps or the underside of the guide (keep 1cm or so clear on both sides).

That’s awesome! Great work as usual!

A nice simple guide to build this thanks

Price winning videos! Needed this two years ago :) :) :)

Nice guide. multi uses. Thanks for sharing sir. Greetings from California

a very practicle thing to have 👍

Have to admit I like your table saw fence.

Well done step by step explaining 👏👍

This is a great video, very well made.

I wish I could spend the rest of my life just building things like this and using them all day every day

Really cool John! 👍🏻👊🏻

That's one handy thing!

Another nice video Mr John

You make a lot of good ideals come to life.

Very good and neat job. Thank u 4 sharing

Awesome project ! I have to make one ! Maybe a similar one with a skillsaw track ?

Another great project completed extremely well. Would love to see a riving knife on your saw, freaks me out a bit.

....soooo exact work !!! BIG COMPLIMENT !!! out of Switzerland !!

Very good John! Thanks.

This is so simple it's ingeous. Cheers Huw

Great idea John!

Awesome sauce. You are the Table saw master 👍

I wish I was as good as this, you are a genius

Pure genius sir. I have subscribed.

Огромное спасибо. Это очень полезная и удобная, простая в использовании вещь.

belo projeto de corte perfeito obrigado por compertilhar

I use sketch pencils as well for marking. If you use the 4H or harder lead, a fine point is retained longer.

Always amazed with how comfortable you are with having your fingers near the blade, shows your years of experience! Always makes me shudder😂 Keep up the good work👍🏻

John, nice video! I like it very much. What do you think about making one part of the bearing blocks of the cam wider so the circualar saw cuts it to the exact measurement from the straight edge? It would indicate the saw kerf like on commercial track saws and you don't need to add the distance from the blade to the fence to the measurement you are going to cut. Aligning the straight edge would be a little easier. It's just an idea! Greetings from germany Josch

I bought your Fence plans for an older cast craftsmen saw ,with a nice 2 hp motor ,the saw weighted a ton but cut like a dream ,for the price of the high dollar fences ,yours was well worth the small price you asked for it ,BTW still waiting for you to do a home version of a track saw /panel saw

I actually like this I have been looking at modifying my storew bought cutting guide that is king of a pain because it is set up by clamping both ends with a clmap walking back and forth to take it on and off

Excelente. Listo para realizar esta herramienta.

Great work as always John. That looks very simple to build, after you put all the effort into designing it for us, lol. I'd love to get about a dozen of your plans, but the bank says I can't spend money because I am broke.

John again you've solved a problem for me. I've had an aluminum straight-edge clamp for years but it uses cam clamps underneath which have to be threaded on to the correct thickness.....A MAJOR PAIN IN THE ASS....I'm going to buy your plans but only use the clamp system mounted to my aluminum rail. Thanks for sharing your experience and capacities.

Me gusto mucho su proyecto lo encuentro muy útil para hacer cortes rectos lo felicito

Very cool idea

Great build.

I can confirm. The table saw fence is great. I enjoy every time I get to use it.

Really cool idea
