Dear Swede, this was a masterclass in how to stretch 5 seconds of advice into 8 minutes and 22 seconds without irritating your audience too much. :-)

So thankful that you specifically mentioned this can be done not just on the one tool you displayed in the video but others. So many times I watch a how to video and they show only one tool and never explain or show if the skill they are demonstrating can be done with other tools. Thank you!! 😊

I’m really enjoying your channel. I don’t think I’ll ever make such a charging station, but that’s ok. I like seeing the tools used, how they’re used, and different techniques. I also like hearing different folks describe things. Different people different explanations added together usually enhances understanding. Like the first comment about the wrong angle. I right away understood the error of the comment. Frame of reference is always important. The discussion helped bring that out. Thank you for another great episode. I know we are in a very global culture these days where we are becoming more unified, but if there are any unique Swedish woodworking styles, tools, or processes, I’d love to learn about them.

There may be another dimension to adjust on your table saw. Once the blade is aligned with the miter slot, angle the blade to 45 degrees. Then cut a 45 on a a wider board, and push completely through. If there is a secondary cut off the back side of the blade, then the table needs to be tilted back to front. Check both miter slots. Insert shims on the bolts holding the table down, typically on the front side. When there is minimal saw dust raising from the back of the blade, it's in tune. Hope that makes sense. Happy woodworking.

Dear Swede, thanks so much for this video. As somewhat of a newbie I appreciate the dialogue and process you went through to get the results you ended up with. Your detail are beneficial to someone like me! Thank again!

Again a very cool video. So it is all about setting up the saw correctly. I have learned to take a closer look at my own setup and to give this extra 0.1° to get a closed miter at the edge 😉 Thanks for that.

Enjoyed the video and attention to detail, including tips on checking for square. The 8:22 flew by in what felt like 5 seconds. The photography and editing were top notch. And I find your voice/accent soothing for some reason. Subscribed.

Absolutely loved watching this video! First time finding your channel, and you covered so many things I'm interested in (woodworking, table saw, precision, 3D Printing, charing stations!). Subscribed straight away, and am looking forward to checking out your other vids. Great work (and nicely filmed!)

Love the new camera quality, added lighting and ambience of your shop.

That was really wonderful to watch! I struggle with miters on non-box items so much that I simply don't bother trying to make boxes at all (my frames/boxes always come out looking shoddy). So thanks! I'll give your tips a go!

Fantastic, I will try all the suggestions. I've been plagued with bad mitered joints ever since I started woodworking many, many moons ago. I like your idea for the charging station too.

There are two ways the blade can be out of square on a table saw. Either the plane of the saw cut is not aligned with the mitre slot - OR - the saw blade does not run square against the arbour, that is it might have a wobble. It is important to check for both, especially if you have an older table saw or are using cheaper blades. Checking both factors is similar but subtly different. To check the first, mark a spot on the blade and check that spot both as far forward and as far back as possible. To check the second, keep the dial indicator in the same spot fore or aft, and rotate the blade to see if there is a wobble. While the dial indicator is on the saw table we may as well check both factors. The 44.9 trick is always good. One other tip is that if you are cutting mitres in hardwood the piece often will shift under the pressure of the blade pushing against it (either that or the blade bows as it gets into the meat of the cut. I kind of suspect that really). I once got a very slight bulge on the mitre face in hard Maple. Only when I started clamping the pieces down firmly on my sled and used a freshly sharpened blade with a slow cut did that go away. It seems that neither hand pressure or a stop are firm enough. (I guess I am OCD when it comes to getting those mitres right :) ) Thanks for the great videos. Keep it up.

Thank you. Sharing great advice is always helpful.

Appreciate your clarity and great instruction. Thanks for taking the time to share your amazing insight.

Lots of respect to you for committing to a response for each comment. I've not seen anyone else do this in my KZfaq experience. Excellent video as well. I like how clearly laid out the video is and compliments the voice over. It is clear you put much time and effort into your video. I've just subscribed! 👍

Great miter tips! I will be these into use right away.... can't believe I'm been doing it wrong for so long.

KZfaq put this in my feed and I'm grateful. I just got a table saw and never thought about about any of this. Getting miters and cuts perfect has never been my strong point but I aim to fix that. Thanks

Great video and thank you for sharing the tips and tricks. I am going to use this method from now on but I am one of those who still going to be bothered about miters not lining up even though they are suppose to when cut at 45 degree.

just want to say, you are doing a good job and i enjoy seeing your videos, keep up the good work

Nice video Pierre! This is a trick I've seen before but never wrapped up in such a nice little video package. Thanks!

Good advice! As an experiment I tried doing white primed architraves but exaggerated and even they fill much nicer with the internal gap rather than the external gap. I then decided I'd set up my saw precisely for any subsequent mitres that would be visible. Much better results!

You not only told us how to achieve the perfect result, but also **why** the other methods do not achieve it, and I value that a lot. Thank you!!

I just discovered your channel, and now I am filled with an overpowering desire to go obsess over the straightness of my table saw blade. I was gonna watch more of your videos, but now I won't have time... guess I'll have to sub and come back later! All kidding aside, I appreciate the video and advice. Keep it up!

Now then top quality fun video as usual. Excellent voice over and very informative I’m loving it

I actually learned something. Thanks and very well done vid and editing

I found your preparation steps and explanations of what you didn't like to be as instructional as your advice on fixing miters. Cutting the angle sharper than 45° deforms the wood slightly to mate evenly (like the screwdriver fix but better) , even when the square is racked a little. Thank you! I wondered why you attached all your charging pockets to the outside of the box, though.

Great video, nicely narrated as well, good work bro!

Great video, I never thought of under cutting the 45 at 44.9. Make it easier because usually you will not see the inside corner up close. Thanks for sharing.

I just came across your video, sounds like a good plan. My garage shop has gone unused for several years but now that I'm retired I've have been getting everything tuned up and started. I will give your suggestion a try.

Great video and awesome advice. Additionally, I love your shop aesthetic / style, so clean and sharp looking with the dark accents. How long did it take you to get your shop space to look this good?

Great work. Love all the tools.

I truly like your channel. Your presentation is so smooth and draws me in. I thought you were going to do the 44.9 trick as I do this as well. My worst miter mistake was when I was making a liquor dispenser for a close friend. The frame and mounts for the dispenser was sapele. I was down to the last cut and some I moved my stop and cut it two inches short and you guessed it, I was out of sapele wood. I had to get more. Oh I was mad. Loved video gave great idea for charging station

Good stuff. Just subscribed. Went through your list of videos. Look forward to watching more. Thanks.

Another great video. Always a pleasure to watch you work and I'm always jealous of your tools and materials. Keep sharing your passion so I can enjoy it with you 😊

Fine video. One question -- what is the material you're using? Is is blacked yes wood, or something else? In the video it almost looks like ebony.

Good tip! I will definitely use this on my next project, thanks.

Great info… Quick question… What is the black material you are using to build the project in this video?

Thanks, great advice. There is something we call in Switzerland and maybe generally "fixing something to death" This is a translation in Swiss German it sounds much better. I made a box with miters.. There were ugly as .. I was so angry I cut off the corners with another 45 and glued new wood to the corners. Which then of course looked like an accident. 12 hours later "fixing something to death" the box ended up in the stove.. I am very happy for your videos - shortening my learning cycle by copying good practice ;-)

I was just in Sweden. Beautiful there. Well done on the charging station!

Great, and very timely (for me) tip, as I am in the process of making several new projects that require using a 45° miter! However, a few of them will have both the outside and inside corners visible... Any good tips on how to make both edges as tight as possible? I know I'm 4 months late on seeing this video, but I'm still hoping that you'll keep answering all questions as you stated 🤣

Great tip for making tight miters. I'm definitely using this technique on the long miters I have to do this week. I like the charging station and was thinking how much more polished it would have looked if you would have inset the front panel in a rabbet so that the beautiful edge of the frame was not broken by the edge of the backboard. Nice work.

Thank you for the video. Quick question. The gap on the inside of the miter cut; would the glue be noticeable if this trick was used on a frame miter joint? If so, do you have any suggestions to deal with it? Thanks in advance.

Great advice, thank you! I am just getting started in my woodworking journey, and I JUST got a new Klein digital angle finder. I will be making a hexagon box for my next big project, and this will help me immensely. Thanks for the tip! Are there any other quick nuggets of advice you'd give to someone just starting out? Mostly looking for technique advice, rather than investment guidance.

If you do not have a 3D printer, where can the mitre slot attachment for the gauge be purchased? Thanks!

Liked the video question is when did you purchase the Laguna table saw. I have the fusion F2 and love it it's also the first cabinet saw I ever owned. I have it dialed in to with in a half of a nidle width. Cheers from Alaska

Nice class, I hope it helps many woodworkers. Thank you

I enjoyed this video. Thanks! Question: What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Glad I stumbled on this channel, you earned yourself another subscriber! Question: how did you decide to buy the HongDui HD-KS22 miter gauge/fence? Reminded me of the Harvey Compass MG-36. I need to upgrade from my factory (low quality) miter gauge, and just wondered your experience - why you chose HongDui (I've never heard of them) vs better known brands like Kreg, Incra, Rockler, etc. Thanks and happy woodworking!

Great video. Very informative. My only question is, when squaring the miter guage it seems to me it would improve accuracy if all angles were set from the same reference point. Since the miter slot is immovable, it makes more sense to set your 90 from there to avoid compounding misalignment between the guage and the blade.

Great channel :) Any tutorial about how to do that charging station? I am curious about what we don't see here, the electric circuit and the 3d prints for the accessories. Cheers!

Your video is so timely! Today I was testing my brand new Incra 1000HD miter gauge for making a perfect 4” square from four pieces of stock. Needless to say, results were good but not perfect, even though the miter gauge was perfectly square to the table saw blade and the blade had nominal runout .008 to the miter slot. Drives me crazy. I will make your recommended adjustment and look forward to closing those annoying gaps! Thanks! Not a fan of the screwdriver cheat.

nice job! could you tell me please what kind of black wood you used in this video ? Sorry i am new woodworker

Great video thank you. One thing I want to check at 5:30. The audio said reset the angle to 0 but the video shows it starting at 90. One way round would mean setting the blade to 50.1 and the other 49.9. I could use trial and error, but would rather get it right first time.

Some great advice there fellow Scandinavian. I like the charging station too. Great combination of good old woodworking and modern technology to make it. I look forward to your next video.

I was looking for info on the #-D printed dial indicator holder for the miter gauge slot. Nice idea on the miter joints. Excellent video production.

I suppose it kind of depends how your digital angle gauge handles rounding. When it goes from 90 to 45, is 45 actually 45.000° or could it be 45.049? Perhaps going 90 to 44.9 then up to 45 will actually be correct way to do it?

That charging wall is super cool. Greetings from Nashville, TN!

great tip video Pierre, makes me want to try the elusive mitre once more

Nice! Thanks a lot. I WILL include the 44.9 "trick" in my works.

Thank you, How about the inside corner though? Does it reveal a smal crack? I’m going to try this method.

Thank you for sharing your tip by the way you charging station looks pretty cool .

This tip is awesome! Definitely need to tune up my tablesaw and try it out. Miters have been so frustrating, I just stopped doing them like you said

Bravo, wonderful information......cheers from Florida, Paul

I liked it. And, the precision of the angles is really important if you do want to make highly precise miter cuts. So, I did not find it too long for the issues involved. Thanks!

I’m interested in making picture frames and have only room for mitre saw in my shop. Do you think I can get enough precision with a good mitre saw like a Makita? My current one is not good enough. I think a simple non sliding model would be more accurate. Thanks for the video and I will now subscribe.

Good solution, need to give it a try. I Had good result with long miters using the L-fence.

Hi Swedish Maker. Question, but first, great video, I really like your style. What is the material you used for the charging station box? The transcript has it as “vrat”. Thanks!

Thank you for the education. That is a really sharp looking custom charging station. You do great work.

Excellent advice....thank you 👍

Would you also use a digital angle gauge on a track saw? I dont have a table saw.

I'm from Sweden but I'm not Swedish. Where I should look for a hard wood supply? Bauhaus/hornbach have already but they are too commercially ready. Woody has something, but it's mostly construction wood. Like when you built the Bjork table top, where did you supply? (If it's not a secret). Thanks!

How would this work for speaker cabinets or any other type of box that needs to be vibration proof?

Any chance you will do a video about woodworking with only a circular saw (as your wood cutting tool, of course drills and stuff still allowed)? I have an absolutely tiny workspace so I cant justify the space a table saw would occupy

If you have a jobsite tablesaw such as the Dewalt DW745 you might notice the miter slots aren't even, they vary in width from front to back, the top surface isn't flat and although you can make some adjustments it's never going to be spot on. Which is why measuring the results of the cut (along with sleds) rather than measuring the machine might be a better approach. Deflection though is still something to consider, depending on density of material. Because of these sort of issues and not having a cabinet saw I've started to cut mine by hand. Thanks for the vid!

You would find using Mylar packing tape on the corner is a better solution especially on long miters. Its main advantage is it does not stretch. The downside is it may pull some grain and require additional sanding. 3m 375 is the preferred tape professionally. Good luck!

Great tips, thanks! What is the name of the "collets" (?) you put on top so the ends of your chargers don't fall into the hole?

I want to sing praises for the band clamps at 6:22. I have one, I use it to make picture frames. It does a great job every time. I tried other techniques, (90 degree clamps) this one is easiest, cheapest, and gets better results than ALL of them

Every comment?!?! That's awesome mate! Oh, and so is your presentation. I kinda thought that's the fix you were aiming at, but you really did present in a highly creative and informational way. Well done!

Excellent information. Thank you!

Inte riktigt kommit in i allt med träbearbetning än sen vi flyttade in i hus med stor verkstad/garage, men denna video gjorde mig definitivt självsäker och mer taggad på att komma igång med finsnickerier 😃 Superbra video, Tack för att du delar med dig tips! ❤

Nice tip on the mitres. Also, I never heard of the 'screwdriver trick'. I hope not to use it but it is nice to know I have the option. Thank you for the video.

Bro, is that table saw a good deal? are you satisfied with it? or would you recommend something else? I have a cheap one on which I replaced the thin top aluminum table with wooden. but it's more of a entry level stuff. not exactly for anything precise.

Riktigt bra idé att ha en håltavla för att kunna variera skräddarsydda hållare på sin laddstation. Tack för den idén. Jag lånar den och modifierar den till min egen laddstation!

I came to this channel to see if you had a video about the Swedish made Nobex professional mitre box. They’re expensive $400 CDN, and I could get a compound mitre saw for that kind of money, but I like the idea that it’s quiet and doesn’t generate so much sawdust. And I just like working with hand tools. Any chance you have one or would do a review of them?

I love creating waterfall miters but have been extremely frustrated with my results. I have a rigid table saw and it seems like theres no possible way to get things lined up. But i will keep trying!

Thanks for taking the time to make and share the video. I hate miters just saying. Will have to try this!

Always struggled with this on the tracksaw, was making a 50mm waterfall edge with a tracksaw eventually ended up doing finger joints instead as I couldn’t for the life of me get a good enough mitre - Will give this a go, any advice on setting up the tracksaw to over angle?

Hi, love the video.. one question, do you have the 3d files for the screwdriver holder for the Ikea skådis pegwall? To purchase or download? thanks!

That's one good video, keep 'em coming

Excellent advice. Personally I prefer the 45 triangle over the digital reader as I’ve found them to be non-repeatable. So, if you’re really serious or you’re using 500 dollars in walnut on your miter, use a triangle and throw away the digital angle finder.

Great tips. Thank you for sharing.

What is that black material you were cutting for the box? Is it still an engineered wood product? Just black MDF? I've never seen it before.

I understand your tip and see how it will help. I usually cut the miters then take them to my shooting board and make a very light pass with my hand plane. That’s how I was taught the make good miters.

I think this is great. Can't wait to try these tips!

New subscriber here. Great info and tutorial. I'll be sure to look for more of your videos. Thanks for posting.

Does it truely matter if the saw blade is not 100% parallel to the mitre slot if all of the wood stock passes through the entire exposed diameter of the blade? The teeth will still cut the wood stock whether it’s with the advancing or retreating teeth will it not? I suspect the only difference is that the kerf will be slightly more than the blade width. Great channel by the way, very watchable and straight to the point.

was that black MDF you used for the charging station?

You have beautiful tools, I am a big fan of Laguna Tools. I have the Robland X31.

How do you find the power on that table saw? Does it bog down at all? I have the fusion 2 110V and it is horribly underpowered! Also, very nice video:)

7:27 What are these cable inserts?! I want them!!!
