Making a Super Accurate Miter Gauge

Рет қаралды 1,025,343

Күн бұрын

Building a super accurate accessory for your table saw that helps to make very precise, angled cuts. This is not aimed at the beginner woodworker, but rather at more advanced projects. Despite its high accuracy, this project does not require any machinist or metal working skills.
This project must to tailored to your specific table saw, so I am not providing plans. However, I have full-size pdf templates for the critical component, which is a large angle gauge that can be printed on an oversize printer. You can download these files for free from my website at:
psullivancarmel.wixsite.com/t...
You will need a good circle cutting jig for your router. Here is the link to a video I made showing the build for the jig used in this video:
• Precision Circle Jig
The DeWalt plunge router shown in the video: amzn.to/2UK90uH
The down-cut spiral carbide router bit used in the video: Whiteside RD2100: amzn.to/2DAT0qt
3M Safety Walk Slip Resistant Tread tape: amzn.to/2DEzk4Z
Knurled brass nuts 1/4x20 (metric versions also available): amzn.to/2DFf5UI
Threaded black 4-arm plastic knobs: amzn.to/2DEKk2k

This is an impressive presentation. I am a retired toolmaker, whose father, and grandfathers did carpenter and cabinet work during my life. Your emphasis on safety is commendable. We all know, but sometimes forget that fingers do not sucker and grow back after they are cut from your hands, regardless of the angular precision! Again, I do commend your thoroughness, and attention to details.

By far the best mitre gauge build I have seen on KZfaq to date, the video was wonderfully narated too. I have to build a couple of smaller mitre guages for my belt and disc sanders and this method is likely the one that I will go with. Thank you Patrick for sharing this with us all.

You are probably the best instructor of diy tool production that I’ve seen on KZfaq. I’ve been a bespoke, high end manufacturer of one off pieces of furniture for nearly 30 years. In that time I’ve seen a lot of people come up with solutions to everyday workshop problems with varying degrees of complexity. You however, took a very complex problem and simplified to the extent that I imagine most people will come away from this video thinking “I could do that”. You are a born educator and I’m in awe of your talents. I have a new favorite page on KZfaq. I can’t wait to see more of your innovation.
