It’s the beauty of KZfaq, whenever you watch the video look into the comment section because majority of the time that’s when you get the bulk of the information. Sometimes the initial video just get the thought process going, and then the community on KZfaq come up with excellent solutions.

God forbid a KZfaqr acknowledging the audiences genius and then giving credit where credit is due. Cool accessory for cutting crown. Sadly, I stick with my slider😂😂😂

Great ideas. I was planning to weld a steel mobile stand for my miter saw and am now going to add sliding out-feed brackets to the design.

Just found your channel and watched part one. Then I looked through your videos and saw this video! What a GREAT follow-up! Fantastic that you give credit to those viewer ideas and share them all with us. You, sir, are awesome!

Lee, I LOVE the videos... BUT, I have always been told, when cutting always "maintain control" of the piece of wood that is between any stop and the blade. Control= holding on to, a clamp, push stick, etc. In your vid you are cutting stock with you holding on to the wood on the left side of the blade while showing the the piece of wood between the stop and the blade. The idea is, the piece of wood could easily get bound up and kick out and is the one needing control, while the other side NOT bound and will usually just bump out of the way. I managed a shop that cut stretcher/picture frame molding. We used a system that had two people and two chop/mitersaws independently cutting next to each other. Nothing fancy, just two people with two Makita saws standing next to each other. The saws were about 24 inches part. Standing facing the saws, the one on the left would pre-trim/miter cut the end and then slide it to the person on the right and they would cut it to length using a fence stop block.The person on the right side would have the piece under control because it was between the fence stop and the blade. After 6 years and well over a *million (seriously) cuts we only had 12 recorded kickback moments. Of those 12, 10 were from the person on the right not holding/controlling the block. Take notice I believe of your second cut. As the saw returns to the upright position the piece between your stop block and the blade starts to lift slightly. Of the 10 kickback we had, 7 were from the person letting go after the cut and allowing the saw to return to the upright position, without holding the cut piece in place. Once the blade was no longer in contact with the piece, raising above material, obviously in wasn't a problem. *Million... okay I really didn't count, but during our rush holiday season we would make 30,000+ frames (plus the other 8 months of the year x 6 years). Each frame has 8 cuts... that my friend is a LOT of miter cuts!!! Soooooo, if I'm wrong... PLEASE correct my thinking on this one!!!

Lee, Thank you for the plug. You did a much better job of the dovetail grooves than I did. I really like the tape measure idea. Now I have to order the tapes and add them.

Kudos taking feedback from your viewers and the L bracket is super simple yet effective. 👍

Great video - I love how he considers feedback from viewers and shares it with everyone for constant improvements. Thanks!

Great video Lee. I believe a lot of times we as humans look for the most difficult ways to do things when the simplicity is there in plain view. This was one of your best. Thanks for the insight.

Awesome upgrades! The L bracket is genius! Simple and effective... I would have overcomplicated that upgrade 😅

Watched your first video on this miter saw fence several weeks ago and purchased all of the materials. I’m going with a 3’ fence on each side. Just found this video and will purchase the mending plate today. Can’t wait to assemble it all this weekend!!

Another set of great ideas. I like improvements that make things repeatable. I hate seeing people jump through hoops every time they have to do something. It vastly improves everything after when you cut out failure points. Great job.

Wow, that miter fence “rules” now! Well done!

Outstanding idea. Thanks.

If you bevel the wooden stop, so the relief is towards the fence face, you won't get as much build up of saw dust on it, and thus greater repeat accuracy.

Very smart upgrades, Lee!!! Great job! ❤

Just saw your answer to the outfeed support in the 2nd video. Thanks!

Great follow-up video. Thanks!

I just spotted your channel, liked and subscribed so far. I have a 1 car garage shop with way toooo many tools. I'm heading to the shop after this video to start planning a fence like yours . Brilliant. I just wish I found your channel sooner because I hate making a temporary fence, stop blocks, you know the drill. Thanks, you saved my miter saw from a life of useless hiding in the corner.

Looks like you saved the best for the end of the year Lee. These are all fantastic ideas. Have a Happy New Year everyone! 🎉🎉🎉

Cool information! I’ll have to watch this again.

Saw the first video & loved it! Got chuckles and a great idea & now improvements on the improvement - thanks for sharing the ideas that were shared by others!!! You've got a new follower! Soon as I get the parts I'm soooooooo making this!!!

You are seriously an underrated channel. Awesome!

Love your ingenuity, Lee. Did you know that, if you use a 10 degree dovetail bit, your slot can accommodate Matchfit and Festool and T channel clamps and bolts? There's a guy who did a couple of videos on it. Gotta love a multitasker! Thanks for sharing.

I made something for my old table saw that had a horizontal feed guide base that was attached at a 90 degree angle to the 6 foot auxiliary fence that was connected by F-Clamps. The base was only for the sections that were before and after the table itself, but it helped to keep the wood from moving around constantly. Instead of the angle bracket connected in the back of yours, what about a flat board connected to the bottom and was kept at a true 90 by a couple of metal right angles. If it was a thin enough melamine, it would allow the wood to slide, yet be supported and not weigh too much. By the way, cool video. I just thought this might help. Bust a knuckle!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! This is AMAZING. I was just browsing YT for woodworking videos and you popped up. I love your approach and sense of humor. So happy to have found you. I will be building a TINY(12x10) woodworking shed and this miter saw set-up is going to work well in my shoe box shop. I look forward to watching the rest of your videos.

Great job, Lee. Thanks for the video.

Very Nice Lee, thank you for sharing.

I like when people go to the essential. many youtubers present overkilled installations and tools indeed. Simple is beautiful.

Great video, thank you, and happy new year

Thanks for your effort and time, I wasn't familiar with Matchfit until now.

Glad Trevor Philips got into woodworking. Great advice!

This is absolutely genius. I'm gonna share it.

Sir! This is an excellent video. Your mother and I are so proud of you for giving credit to all of the commenters for their input.

I'm glad I looked at this 2nd video. I have Matchfit hardware and will build this with those. Thanks for making this video.

I love this! Thanks for this... something else I love? Your podcast!!! 👊

Excellent video and it's exactly the kind of stuff I want to see when I watch KZfaq, You are a really resourceful guy and a great host! Well done!!!

Stop blocks should be always on the left side. Holding the cut piece with your left hand and cut with the right hand. This avoids pieces getting kicked out from the spinning blade, unless blade stops every time after every cut.

Jeeze, I’m not a woodworker but holy mackerel those fences are so cool, with so many features!

Thanks for the shout out Lee.

I have that same saw with that same base and have wanted some convenient way of setting up stop blocks that remained portable. I love this! I wonder if there's a way to rig up a holder on the bottom side of the base that would store the rails when the saw is folded up. The tricky part would be making sure it didn't interfere with the scissor mechanism.

This is just what I needed. Thanks.

Wow! I've been using the miter saw wrong all these year. Great video.

Great tips Lee Thanks for sharing

I do a very similar thing, you will notice that over time that the supports will bow and sag making them all but useless. The good news is that they are easy enough to remake but that gets old too. I am now looking for enough bench space along a wall to do a more traditional and permanent setup.

Damn I love that crown fence… I would always just mark my fence with pencil and hold the crown to my line. And looking at the price I’m going to have to make my own or keep using my old pencil method lol (sucks being a very broke carpenter in 2024 hahaha :/). I think I can make my own fence very similar just out of scraps though. I haven’t ran crown in a while but a few years ago all I did was crown and stair work on $20 million dollar mansions outside of the Twin Cities.

very informative I plan on buying the router motor.

Great ideas. Thanks for sharing!

Great Job Sir😉👍🏽

Great idea 💡 I’m impressed ❤❤

Great upgrades.

Between this video and your clamping caul video, the only 2 I’ve seen so far, you’ve made me a new subscriber, thanx!

Oh wow, I definitely gonna build this. Super useful! 🎉🎉🎉

Man, your videos are killer, I love em!

Merry Christmas, Lee! You're the man!

Some nice upgrades there. My miter saw was one of my first real woodworking tools, yet it remains my least used. Maybe with some upgrades that could change. Either way, it is a great excuse to get out in the shop and make some sawdust. Besides, now I know why I haven't thrown out those 2x2 scraps of walnut.

Enjoyed both videos. Now can you do the same thing to simplify a table saw outfeed table? One that will work for a rear motor saw. That would be great.

Excellent 🤟

Nice Video. I like your track solution better than the trackless solution.

Great video. But please show more of how your miter saw stand rolls. I'm in the process of trying to get it right before I put something together. I'd really love to see what you have.

Man I love the content, as someone who is just starting.

Wow, this is all great. Most of all is your ability to accept suggestions/corrections.

Thanks!

Great stuff

Great video jammed packed with tips and tricks, love it! Don't own a miter saw but couldn't a track-saw track be used??? they do have T slots...

Good stuff here. I still prefer the tracks for mounting and stops (especially for mounting to the saw) because repeated install and removal will inevitably wear out the dove tail where it's clamped. In addition to that, the outfeed support should only be used with light trim, as the constant weight of the cut material (especially the farther away the support is from the cut) will lever your mounting hardware until it is sloppy. This is generally why the outfeed arms are part of a base system and not hung from the back stop, which we count on for precision. The obvious alternative is a simple roller stand, less that $20 as Harbor Freight, and is also mobile so it can be used as an infeed support for cutting long sticks of material into small bits. That Fastcap crown fence is awesome though... I might have to look into that thing.

I love your sense of humor man and great editing! I'm curious if you can please share or do a video on your French cleat wall. I'm trying to plan some cordless tool storage and love your setup.

Great content!

Gracias amigo!!!

Thanks your Awesome!

3D printer and design/print the brackets. By rounding the edges, clumsy buckets like me won’t scratch and bleed from the L brackets. Still use the L brackets for strength inserting the 3D part flush with the L bracket. :P NEw to your channel, instant fan. I used to be a Finish Carpenter.

Outstanding 👍

I have a small shop. You just gave me, the answer! I want to thank you for this insight.

Great video and good ideas. I may be in the minority, but I would prefer a flip stop to hard stop. I realize there can be deflection but just my preference.

Great comments from the viewers on tips & tricks .......

Huey Lewis doing carpentry. KZfaq is awesome

Love the CA glue and bare hands. How many projects are you very attached to? :)

I love FastCap products, but their Crown Stop Fence has a major design flaw. It was designed strictly for DeWalt 12” miter saws. Not all of us are fans of the yellow & black.

Put a magnet in your adjustable stop and get a sacrificial feeler gauge. Then u can use the feelers on the magnet to make small adjustments without fiddleing with the adjustable stop screw. cheers!

I have two portable feed supports, fully adjustable, floor-suported

Now, all you have to do is start working on dust collection, for the miter saw!

What stand are you using for your muted saw? Looks like a really good one

Does the addition of the additional fence throw off the angles?

Good Stuff

This is great stuff!

Need a hold down clamp on the the offcut side if using a stop or switch to left hand cutting.

If you're going to use MDF and route out a dovetail, I suggest making a couple quick passes down the table saw first to remove some material from the middle of where the dovetail will be. It will be much easier and safer to route out then.

1:25 when making repetitive cuts using stops, always hold down the piece otherwise it will kick back and you'll have a bad day.

Reference the tape measure, won't you have to reset it each time you change the blade (and kerf) and each time you miter at an angle?

There is a saying I adore: Whatever is true - is everyone's! Including good, true ideas. No one owns a true idea... Either way, incorporating ideas from the comments, with the pleasure you do, is the true way... :) Look at us (US?) enjoying, supporting democracy. Let's hope it keeps spreading (agaaain). :DD

Awesome , you could additionally add folding struts to support the work piece if like me, you dont have the base for it.

Watch Part 1 of this video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nbZndLmeyd_enIE.html

Great tips! I assume the measuring system only works for 90 degree cuts?

could you use the same dimensions of the dovetail bit to accomplish the job instead of paying $25 for a bit? found one for half the price

Was that a Van Halen cover song during the ruler demo?

Do you have a background in media? cinematography or other? These videos are so good.

Don't you some deflection on the 4ft side, it wouldn't take much to make the cut out of square?

Just found your channel, great content, didn't know Hector Salamanca liked woodworking :P

Me again, maybe a video on viewer mad shop gadgets that are good inexpensive alternatives would be awesome.
