- --== The jig featured in the video is now available to buy. See the link below ==--
In this video I answer the most common question I'm asked: How do I trim the splinter guard on a new guide rail. Also I include a bonus tip as to how a simple jig I made allows me to make accurate waste-side cuts with the guide rail and track saw.
You can buy replacement splinter-guard rubber in 3m rolls from Axminster Tools and Machinery, amongst other online sellers.

The 1000mm (1m) Guide Rail is available from Amazon (UK):

The Makita SP6000J (230v) plunge saw you see in the video is also from Amazon:

The 3D printed jigs featured are now available for sale with free postage within the UK and flat-rate charge for most places worldwide. Since making the video the jig has been updated with rounded corners, made slightly wider to make it more stable under the rail and with a taller centre ridge which means a more accurate representation of the 2.2mm saw kerf. You can buy from two places:
The Strawbyte Workshop Website:

Etsy:

Nice jig
What a simple but important short video, I got a new track saw and tracks so this was invaluable and the kerf jigs are a brilliant idea and invention.
I've just tried the jigs👍 I must say the jigs make it so easy using my rail 👍and excellent postage. Many thanks Karl.
You have a great voice for radio 🤓
Thank you for your support will catch up with your vids soon like this one clean and precise
Great video man, i'm so glad i found your channel. I saw you have some ther good videos. I will hit that red button and follow you from now on because i think you are worth following
Hi Carl.... I'm a Wood Working You Tube Junky... Always looking to learn something new and each morning with my coffee I watch several Wood Working You Tubes. I'm a new Track Saw owner of a Makita SP6000J... while watching Peter Millard he mentioned the Strawbyte Waste Side Jig... what a brilliant jig I will be sure to purchase one. I'm making a sewing desk for my wife, the desk top will be of Cherry, the carcass painted shaker style and I plan to do most of the work with the Track Saw and minimal with my Job Site table saw. So glad that I ran across your You Tube through Peter... I'm from across the Pond in New England and have many friends in Ipswich and have visited a number of times. Well, keep up the good work great videos... I'll be watching!
Yes I did see you move the piece and it made me concentrate even more to see what happened next! I have just ordered the red spacer and this morning realised that when l bought the saw l fitted a Makita 56 tooth coated blade that’s only 1.45mm thick! Anyway I’ll keep the spacer for future. Incidentally this blade gives a super clean cut if you’re interested. Cheers.
great, thanks for the video
Review would be great saving to get one my self
Thank you for the tips. I've got one as well, you can remove the current splinter guard & simply re-adhere it so that it can be used multiple times. Saw the hack somewhere here in RUclipsland.
Just received my jigs from You, I've seen them on Peter Millard's YT channel, haven't tried them yet but surely they work fine. Greetings from Tenerife
Ahhhh, so you’re the guy I just ordered a few bits from. Nice to out a face to the name.
Everyone with a track saw should have a set of the Waste side jigs for the size of their blades. No Exceptions. Had mine for 3 years now and they are perfect for getting waist side cuts perfect. Even my wife thinks they are a great idea.
hi nice video nice too see you back
Thanks - super helpful... wasn't sure whether that splinter guard was intended to be "self trimmed" this way.
Nice video! Don't you get the rubber cut again when cutting bevels? I don't know how to make bevel cuts without damaging the rubber splinter guard.
I like your tip
Really nice video and smart idea for spacers. I have always used a packer on the edge of my rail and then measured. I need to find someone with a 3d printer as they are far better. Thanks for posting
Thanks for a nice tutorial about this. I haven't done it yet, cause I'm a little concerned about what to do when you get to the endings and one of the guides kind of runs out. The mashine seems to get very wiggely a that point. How do you keep it straight there ? Or does it actually matters, since you should not cut that far anyway ?
