    Here is another way to set your miter gauge to exactly 90° without any additional tools. Assuming the front edge of your table saw is 90° from the slots on top, turn your miter gauge upside down and place the miter bar in the slot and let the head of the miter gauge hang off the front of your saw. Loosen the bolt and slide the miter gauge up until the head butts up against the front edge of the saw. Tighten the bolt and you have just set it to exactly 90°. Turn the miter gauge over and place it back in the slot.

      This is so simple yet ingenious it's one of those moments for me (which happens so often with woodworking/carpentry and I love it) where you feel stupid for never figuring it out on your own before.
      So many things in wood craft take either a more experienced influence, or you do it the dumb inefficient way so many times that one day it clicks that there is a far better way. Again, you have a "shoulda had a V8" moment but they usually make me chuckle, and I'm happy to have figured out a better way

    Great tips as usual. I've been making a living with carpentry and woodworking for 42 years and still learn everyday. You forgot to mention to subtract the blade thickness for making the slot gauge for the newbies. Thanks Colin, for the simple straightforward videos.

    I appreciate your talent for explaining yourself...brief and clear instructions. Not 15 minutes of stammering and repeating ones-self to try and get a point across like some “instructional” videos. Not trying to be hard on those guys, it’s just not their talent....or mine for that matter! Glad I found your channel!

    All good, but i especially like the quick slot jig. Really simple and effective. You can't beat that.
    A quick and accurate way to square your miter jig is to flip it over, put it in the miter slot upside-down, bring it back towards you, and square it on the edge of the table saw top, or the fence rail, no awkward framing square, no other type of squaring tool.

    Carl - this might be the most helpful 7-minute video I've seen. I just started using a table saw a few weeks ago and I've been trying to find a way to make rip cuts when boards aren't straight on either side. Your screw-down idea is brilliant. Thanks for making this video. I've also subscribed. I really like how you explain everything in a low key, modest way.

Ever since I repaired the bottom of my sink myself instead of paying $250.00 for someone else to do it (water rotted the wood) and I been watching your videos, i have decided that I will learn as much as I can. So keep those videos coming.

    I started wood working last winter out of curiosity due to watching my Grandpa be able to make and fix anything, never having to have fancy tools or digital readers to give him the results he needed. He has since passed before I could pick his brain about this new hobby of mine, but your video just showed/reminded me why my grandpa was the sh*t. Thank you for these tips sir, you have a new subscriber for sure. I look forward to more videos from you.

    Great tips Colin! A speed square (if you have one big enough) is also good for setting up the miter gauge. The lip on one edge let's you lay it flat on the table and still register with the miter slot. It also has 45 built in, so no need to line up numbers. Good for dummies like me who get the scale on the inside and outside of the carpenters square mixed up :) Downside - I generally have to lower the blade whereas the carpenter square goes around it.
