Track saw- Hell yeah brother, congrats on five years! Thank you for continuing to share super high quality content with us. Your work is amazing and your video are equally as inspiring.
I did not expect the full thing to be put together in one video. Just the lower cabinet is a huge amount of effort to build and film. The upper structure panel maze has so many connections and joints. Wild how many hours you got on film and managed to build. Maybe it went fast and you spent full days or maybe it was a couple hours every few days but it was a lot of work. I’m jealous of your shop time. Awesome work.
Thank you! Yeah it was a ton of work but I didn't want to bore anybody by being redundant so I packed it all into one video. I actually don't know how many hours it was as I kind of just work on projects as my time allows.
I came back to give this one another watch. I really love how you mix all your tips into project builds. It gives me a much more practical sense of how to use them in my own shop. Thanks again!
Table saw if I have to cut 45's. Enjoyed this thoroughly, and now am tapping my foot for the next one. I'd say the best tip is the process of referential measuring - it's almost counter-intuitive given the huge amount of ready-made plans (no ding on you, brother), which imply cutting to measurements, but actually the reference system ensures great results. I've made entire pieces of furniture based on one "must be this size" dimension - works like a charm. Congrats on your journey. While I'm not dealing with dependence, I've known people close to me who have. It's hard work, every day, so if nobody else says it, praise yourself... you're earning it.
Haha, you wont have to wait too long. And no worries, I always try to push people to use plans as more of an outline than something concrete. To me a cut list is just a rough outline and the final dims are always dictated by the actual workpiece. Thank you so much for your support and positivity, it means a lot.
I see many woodworkers online who joint and plane boards with the paint still on the end grain. There are some good reasons not to do so. The first being that paint is very abrasive to steel jointer and planer knives, and also to the iron in that very expensive Lie-Nielsen #7. Secondly there could be dirt or debris under that paint that is even more harmful to steel edges than the paint. Finally there could be checks in the end of the board that would be detected by cutting off the painted end. I've been at this for over forty years and cutting the painted ends is one of the first lessons I learned, I'm interested to know if others feel the same, or am I just and old man telling the kids to get off my lawn. 😜 Great work Timber Biscuit!
Thanks! I usually do but if I don’t see any significant checking or cracks, I tend to just leave them until I cut everything down. I’m sure it is more wear and tear on jointer and planer blades but that 15 minutes is super important to me haha
Table saw - Great video dude! Thanks for all the tips, I have been wondering about the best way to make a large bookshelf and this gave me a ton of ideas. Congrats on your 5 years too, that's a really big deal.
Love your videos. You do great work! Thanks for sharing your journey with alcohol. I’ve been sober 3 yrs 2 months 21 days. I’m only precise because it was the date I was rushed to the hospital. Alcohol almost killed me.
Circular saw - Love your channel! Really brave of you to share your story about alcohol dependancy, well done It’s amazing how much life has to offer when you cut the bad things out. Stay safe Gerard
Thank you so much! The thing I’ve learned about sobriety, is that if you want to keep it, you have to share it. Hopefully the message of hope resonates with someone else who needs to hear it.
Congratulations on five years, and for sharing the inspiration! And a woodworking question, of course. At 10:18 in the video, you scribbled something on the sole of your no. 7 plane. Was that a wax pencil or something, to keep it smooth? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that done before.
Table saw - I do agree, working with wood is a great way to keep yourself busy and motivated. When that is true, other vices just do not have the same grip on you. We used woodworking to get our son off the bottle and regain his stability. It does work wonders. Congratulations on being successful!
Congratz on the sobriety Brother. I have 17 years myself. Woodworking was a huge part of being therapeutic and eventually grew to a business. Nice video as well. By the Grace of God anything can be done.
Table saw Great work on the cabinet and the video production. Thanks for sharing. Keep coming back and doing great work! Tell me about that sled. They make a left, a right and a full kit with everything. It looks like you've got the full kit. Do you find that sled to be particularly acurate? What drove you to select it over others (i.e., Rocker) or building one? I've built several over the years and have always been dissatisfied with the results. All the best!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, I have used shop made sleds along with a miter gauge for years, but this slide is far more accurate and consistent. It does have limitations and it’s got a high price point but when you start using it, you can see why. I have tried out the rockler version and it is nowhere near as well-made. If it’s in the budget, I’d say give it a shot. I know a few others that have and don’t regret it a bit.
Table saw, I've never had the opportunity to use a track saw so I've always made good use of my table saw. Though on pieces to big for a sled I have used a chamfer bit on a handheld router before to great success. Great work in your video, it's a stunning piece!
I disagree about the dominoes in the miter. You are correct that they help in alignment but you are still gluing 45 degree end grain. End grain glues better than most think but still not as strong as edge grain. Now in 46 years of this I have assembled many boxes without any splines and they are still together. As far as miters go the table saw is your best approach. Even better if it has a sliding table. Anyway I like your work and will continue watching.
Yeah I have gone both with and without dominos in the miters on a lot of projects. With larger pieces I just like the dominos since they help hold things up during the glue up. Thanks for sharing your experiences and I appreciate the support!
I think the easiest way to cut miters, especially if you have a Sawstop where the blade tilts away from the fence is to cut a perfect 90 degrees on one edge , set your fence at dimension you want minus the thickness of your panel, and with the blade at 45, cut the miter on the other edge, then without moving the fence cut the mother on the other end. As long as you’re careful to keep the edge you’ve squared perfectly against the fence you’ll end up with a panel that’s still square but worth your miter cuts. Has worked for me and it’s fast
Tablesaw - congrats on your five years of sobriety that’s a big deal dude. There’s a bunch of tips in this video I hadn’t heard before, and I like how you intertwine them into a build. Your videos are really helpful and super well executed. I love seeing what you have to share, thanks for posting.
Circular saw, with 1 inch square tube for a straight edge. Haven't done miters in a build yet but I've used it for panel joints in my scrubby pallet shelves.
Table saw. Although I've been looking hard at track saws for breaking down full sheets of plywood. My jobsite saw just doesn't have much in the way of indeed. Just discovering your channel, you had me at the fraction joke 😂. Congrats on the milestone. Therapy has been a huge help in dealing with ADHD I didn't know I had until I was 40. Asking for help is the bravest thing you can do, especially for men. Subscribed!
Yeah, I primarily use my track saw for sheet goods and it’s been a huge back saver. Absolutely asking for help is probably the toughest part of the whole process. And welcome to the channel!
April 23, 2020 for me. I used Covid quarantine for good. I imagine people who didn’t go through this won’t understand why we all talk about it. Congratulations.
What a great build! Nice. Now I have a question. Around 1516 min in the video you plane 1 board but at 1555 you plane 2 board together. Why and what makes this a different? Thanks for sharing
Thanks! If you go back to that 15:16 mark I explain the reasoning but in a nutshell, I plane the boards flat then assemble the panels and run them through again to their final thickness. This removes any offset that might occur during the glue up.
Tablesaw is usually my go to for cutting accurate miters. However I've found that for awkward pieces using a 45° chamfer bit with the bearing removed works pretty well. I don't have a track saw or much of a budget, so using what I have has to do.
Myshelf lol! I found it funny! Great work as usual! Super talented. That Festool router is really cool. I know there are a lot of reviews out there on cheap vs expensive tools. I just find the more expensive tools glide through the wood a lot easier. Not that I am a champion woodworker or expert by any means!
Haha, I appreciate it! Yeah, the Festool router is a dream to work with. I got tired of my previous routers always having issues holding their settings. This one stays put and is really reliable so I’m happy with the purchase.
Tablesaw, mainly because I don't have a decent circular saw. Congrats on 5 years, and thanks for sharing. I made the same choice 7 years ago and it is the best decision I ever made. Love your dad jokes btw.
I have both and still would choose a tablesaw over the circular saw, but I guess it kind of depends on my mood that day haha. And thank you I really appreciate it. I’m with you there.
Thanks for the motivational and great content! Curious as to your thoughts on the ets ec 150 vs a 125? I just picked up the 125 and hope I don’t regret not getting the 150. I do very similar projects as yours.
The 150 is a lot nicer to work with. It is a pretty big step up in my experience with the 125. The 125 is still good for small finish work and I’ll still use it for that but the 150 is a big time saver and leaves an amazing finish. Thanks for watching!
Circular Saw. Do you think a long clamping edge guide works well enough instead of an expensive track saw or Kreg guide? I am usually just ripping or cross cutting sheets of plywood and sometimes just wider hardwood boards. Also, what tooth blade do you recommend?
For sure, I got by that way for a long time. The track saw just makes things more plug and play. As far as blades go it depends on whether it's a rip cut or a cross cut. For a rip cut I use a 12 tooth blade, for cross cuts and sheet goods I use a 48 tooth blade.
The design of the grid within the cabinet stiffens everything. The floating mortise and tenon joints are really only there to help keep the boards from slipping when clamping pressure is applied during the panel glue ups. Once that glue has cured the dominos don't do anything to increase support.
router with a 45 bit works really well for getting perfect miters. the only downside is it needs to be a rather large bit and you can't use really thick material. edit: I usually tape a guide piece on the top of the piece I'm mitering, then the router bit bearing can run along that and leave a perfect end on the miter.
Table saw - only because the circular saw I have is more wonky than my table saw when cutting 45° mitres (both mine are horrible). A good track saw or table saw upgrade is on my wishlist for making more reliable 45° cuts. I like how you blended tips into this build video. If I could give myself a couple of tips for when I first started out: 1) know where the moving blades are and keep body parts far away. 2) it's ok not to have all the tools you want when you start off - use what you have to learn and hone in on your skills with those tools. 3) watch great RUclips channels like Timber Biscuit Woodworks to get some great tips and inspiration. 😉 Also, those Mario characters you made are still as awesome as the day you made them. They are most excellent.
Solid tips there and I couldn’t have said it better myself. My son is really into Super Mario now so he keeps trying to convince me that they look better in his room. He’ll have to tear them from my Vulcan grip.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks you might need to make another set just for him in that case 😉 Those characters define your channel a bit and people watching your videos therefore expect that display to be there. So, to paraphrase the Vulcans, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or your son. 🤣
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks OMG Loving it. I am a Brit that has been a very proud US Citizen for 10 years that enjoys the challenge of fractions over decimals in woodworking. I guess I am 33% metric and 3/4ths "normal" :) Love the channel Man, subscribed today be good
Congratulations taking back your life from alcohol.....! My absolute favorite way to cut miters so fast and easy is to cut everything to size plus 5-6" to length. But cut square...! Then take it to the shaper with powerfeeder and knife with 45° profile. As long as all your lumber or panels are "straight"......nothing better quality or faster.....no more long slow arcs.....you will love it! All the best.. just jim9
Table saw, congrats. On the no 7 hand plane vs in/out jointer. I bet you $100 you couldn’t tell the difference between them if done properly and good knives. My seams are perfect every time.
Thanks, I’d take that bet with out hesitation. I just rotated my helical head inserts a few months ago so they are quite sharp and I can absolutely feel the difference between an edge off the machine vs an edge from a hand plane. There’s something to be said for the quality of finish from hand tools.
Table Saw. I’m increasingly finding myself wanting to add a sliding table to my saw. It’s crazy to me that this is a more common feature on European table saws and not as much in the US.
Hey! I noticed you're not using your router with the attachment incorrectly. You're supposed to let on part of the base plate rest on the guide rail and use both the plastic attachments to minimize play.
Uau! Congrats for your corage on tell us…. Your previous problem. Thank you. Anyway, keep going. I like very much to see you work…. I will copy one of your, where you have your squares..l it is very nice.
Recovery drug addict....I had a 15 years long addiction to heroin and pain pills. I'm close to being well over 6 years sober!!. I still see a therapist every 3 weeks. We all battle with demons in some fashion or another. I now work for an awesome guy that owns a lot of historical properties. I've been helping with remodeling the interior and exterior of each building he owns. I also work part-time at a local grocery store.
You mentioned 44.9 degrees to make sure the outer section of the mitre is lined up perfectly, It's actually the other way. For the outside of the mitre to line up perfectly, you would go over 45 degrees such as 45.1 or 45.5 degrees, whatever works best. I always go to around 45.3.
I think you have that backwards but I guess it depends on what side of the angle you're measuring. 44.9 allows for the tips of the outside angles to line up perfectly, leaving a hair of a gap on the inside of the miter. For cabinetry, you absolutely want that outside miter to line up.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks Sorry but unless we've got our inners and outers mixed up, for the outside of a mitre to touch before thin inner you require an over 45 degree angle, not under. The hair of a gap will be on the inside of a mitre.
Right, you want the end of the workpiece to be more pointy and less flat. To achieve that on a table saw, your blade needs to be at 44.9 degrees leaving you with a joint that is 45.1 degrees. Which is exactly what I said.
Table Saw. Much more reliable and accurate as long as it is under 38 inches. Over that and have to use the track saw. BTW, use the miter saw for small miters, say 4" or less
Nice build. Didn't you use a backside? Because then you might be able to avoid those Festool connectors, which are visible in an ugly way. Especially, since they are not on the bottom of the furniture, but in the middle of it. Alternatively, you could take some wood of same type and clue it on top of the connectors. Of course, this would then be a "one-time" action.
Thanks! So they will eventually have plugs that conceal them but that isn't until the finishing touches. The two on the smaller side will also be hidden by the cabinet door so you would really have to be looking for them at that point to find them. I think those are fair trade offs especially given this will live on my third floor so the knock down nature makes that more manageable.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks I was referring to actually putting the miter gauge in backwards so the leading edge of the piece is against the fence of the gauge. It will give you more capacity than using it the regular way.
Oh, I think I see what you’re talking about. I feel like making a cut that way would be a little awkward, but with a regular miter gauge, in a pinch it would work.
Just skimmed through this to find out I’m an idiot. Bought a 4mm domino cutter and dominos only to realize I can just trim mine like you did. Hahahahah. Cancelled my order
Haha yeah man. If you need this smaller just plunge a mortise in a small piece of scrap and pop them in one at a time so your fingers aren’t close to the blade.

Thanks for the motivational and great content! Curious as to your thoughts on the ets ec 150 vs a 125? I just picked up the 125 and hope I don’t regret not getting the 150. I do very similar projects as yours.
The 150 is a lot nicer to work with. It is a pretty big step up in my experience with the 125. The 125 is still good for small finish work and I’ll still use it for that but the 150 is a big time saver and leaves an amazing finish. Thanks for watching!
Congrats on the sobriety brother. It’s been worth it for me.
Absolutely! Thank you
Circular saw. Congrats on your sobriety! Know that your fans are very proud of you for that brother. It’s not an easy thing to do.
Thank you so much! It has quite literally been life-changing.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks I bet. You get your mind back and your body healed. Addiction is one hell of a monster to defeat. Much respect. 🤜
Indeed! Thanks again
Circular Saw. Do you think a long clamping edge guide works well enough instead of an expensive track saw or Kreg guide? I am usually just ripping or cross cutting sheets of plywood and sometimes just wider hardwood boards. Also, what tooth blade do you recommend?
For sure, I got by that way for a long time. The track saw just makes things more plug and play. As far as blades go it depends on whether it's a rip cut or a cross cut. For a rip cut I use a 12 tooth blade, for cross cuts and sheet goods I use a 48 tooth blade.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks Thank you very much.
Great video, man.
Much appreciated!
Do you have a link to the large blue tape dispenser?
Sure do! Here you go: amzn.to/4cXA1mo
That thing is super handy
Awesome work! I am new to wood working. Hopefully one day i'll be as good as you. God Bless.
Thank you, and welcome to the craft!
Great video, more relatable with lots of tips!
Thanks, happy you enjoyed it!
Great work 🤚 are you gonna Auto scale miter sled review ? Is it good?
Thanks! I don’t want to review videos, but yeah, I love the sled. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.
Circular saw, can you do a video Where you through your planer methode with ins and outs😊?
I think I have a few, but I don’t remember which ones, I’m sorry. I’ll definitely include it in another build in the future.
Router for mitre.
Probably because I got a new one and am addicted.
Thanks Buddy
Solid channel
Proud of myshelf! Dig it
Nothing like a new tool. Haha, thanks man I appreciate it!
Track saw for sure! The build turned out great!
Thanks!
Hand saw and hand plane. Very nice build.
Old school for the win! Thank you!
I notice the cabinet doesn't rack at all. Is that inherent in your joint choices? The mortise and tendons from the Festool?
The design of the grid within the cabinet stiffens everything. The floating mortise and tenon joints are really only there to help keep the boards from slipping when clamping pressure is applied during the panel glue ups. Once that glue has cured the dominos don't do anything to increase support.
That eating a clock joke was great, love that seconds pun
I guess that one will stand the test of time.
but what fraction of people are you in?
the ones that share a common denominator
Longer panel miters are cut on the cnc with large 90° v bit. Vacuum holds it down and it's perfectly straight
Nice, I'm sure that gives you some real control on the accuracy.
Circular saw. Another great piece, Saturday morning sorted
Thanks mate!
router with a 45 bit works really well for getting perfect miters. the only downside is it needs to be a rather large bit and you can't use really thick material.
edit: I usually tape a guide piece on the top of the piece I'm mitering, then the router bit bearing can run along that and leave a perfect end on the miter.
A lot of people using a router bit which is surprising. Good tip on the guide piece.
Table saw - only because the circular saw I have is more wonky than my table saw when cutting 45° mitres (both mine are horrible). A good track saw or table saw upgrade is on my wishlist for making more reliable 45° cuts.
I like how you blended tips into this build video. If I could give myself a couple of tips for when I first started out: 1) know where the moving blades are and keep body parts far away. 2) it's ok not to have all the tools you want when you start off - use what you have to learn and hone in on your skills with those tools. 3) watch great RUclips channels like Timber Biscuit Woodworks to get some great tips and inspiration. 😉
Also, those Mario characters you made are still as awesome as the day you made them. They are most excellent.
Also! Huge congratulations on five years! You are the real MVP and a great inspiration to others.
Thank you so much!
Solid tips there and I couldn’t have said it better myself. My son is really into Super Mario now so he keeps trying to convince me that they look better in his room. He’ll have to tear them from my Vulcan grip.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks you might need to make another set just for him in that case 😉
Those characters define your channel a bit and people watching your videos therefore expect that display to be there. So, to paraphrase the Vulcans, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or your son. 🤣
Hahahaha well played sir!
Love the denominator and numerator joke dude 😂
You're definitely in my top half haha
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks OMG Loving it. I am a Brit that has been a very proud US Citizen for 10 years that enjoys the challenge of fractions over decimals in woodworking. I guess I am 33% metric and 3/4ths "normal" :) Love the channel Man, subscribed today be good
That’s awesome, honestly I’m about the same percentage with metric and imperial. Welcome to the channel! Thanks for the support!
Nice collection of woodpecker tools , what wad your first ?
Thanks! I started with a few of the pocket rules and it took off from there.
A little unorthodox, but for smaller pieces I use the router table with a 45* chamfer bit - for bigger parts, I use my track saw
Unorthodox, but a really accurate way to keep parts at 45. I like it.
Great sense of humor ..
Definitely better than my sense of sight
Well done, shelves and life.
Appreciate it!
Track Saw. Strangely, woodworking is my therapy, although never diagnosed for anything, it definitely makes me more approachable by my family.
I totally get that. Shop time is very meditative for me too.
Track saw. Hope to have space for a big enough table saw one day!
Oh that would be so nice. Stopping to set up the track saw eats so much time.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks absolutely! Subscribed 😁
Welcome to the channel!
Congratulations taking back your life from alcohol.....!
My absolute favorite way to cut miters so fast and easy is to cut everything to size plus 5-6" to length. But cut square...! Then take it to the shaper with powerfeeder and knife with 45° profile. As long as all your lumber or panels are "straight"......nothing better quality or faster.....no more long slow arcs.....you will love it!
All the best..
just jim9
Thank you! Yeah I’d love to get a power feeder and give it a shot, that is on the list.
wow beautiful work. I also recently started recording when I make my cutting boards 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you, and that’s awesome!
Love the 8bit Super Mario characters on the wall 😄👍
Thanks! They absorb a bit of the sounds of the shop.
Circular saw. My Bosch track saw is a godsend.
They are a real game changer
Table saw, congrats. On the no 7 hand plane vs in/out jointer. I bet you $100 you couldn’t tell the difference between them if done properly and good knives. My seams are perfect every time.
Thanks, I’d take that bet with out hesitation. I just rotated my helical head inserts a few months ago so they are quite sharp and I can absolutely feel the difference between an edge off the machine vs an edge from a hand plane. There’s something to be said for the quality of finish from hand tools.
Table Saw. I’m increasingly finding myself wanting to add a sliding table to my saw. It’s crazy to me that this is a more common feature on European table saws and not as much in the US.
I have considered that myself but just lack the space to make it work. For the time being sleds are the go to.
When using a #7, you can achieve the same result as the I/O method by clamping the joining edges together.
For sure! With smaller stock that's the way to go.
How does that grizzly planer do with snipe? Better than average?
Once I got it dialed in, it was awesome. I get very little to no snipe at all.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks awesome, thank you for the info, and the lighting fast response!
Not a problem, happy to help!
Hey! I noticed you're not using your router with the attachment incorrectly. You're supposed to let on part of the base plate rest on the guide rail and use both the plastic attachments to minimize play.
Yeah, I kinda use it however it fits the task haha. And the adjustment in the center doesn't work with both on the rail.
Track saw for me
Congrats on five years!
Heck ya, thank you!
Sliding table saw is the best way to cut long miter joints.
If you have the space for it absolutely.
Router table with 45-degree bit for long miters.
I’m really surprised at how popular this technique is, thank you for your input.
Uau! Congrats for your corage on tell us…. Your previous problem. Thank you. Anyway, keep going. I like very much to see you work…. I will copy one of your, where you have your squares..l it is very nice.
Thank you! Happy to share!
Table saw :)
Congrats on 5 years. Healthy is better :)
That's my go-to. And I couldn't agree more, thank you!
Table saw. Congrats on the 5 years!
Thank you!
Table saw.
"It will prevent sagging, which is important for the non-supported areas." As a guy in my 50s, I felt this in my bones. :D
Hahaha, hits a little too close to home.

Hell yeah man, that’s awesome!
You mentioned 44.9 degrees to make sure the outer section of the mitre is lined up perfectly, It's actually the other way. For the outside of the mitre to line up perfectly, you would go over 45 degrees such as 45.1 or 45.5 degrees, whatever works best. I always go to around 45.3.
I think you have that backwards but I guess it depends on what side of the angle you're measuring. 44.9 allows for the tips of the outside angles to line up perfectly, leaving a hair of a gap on the inside of the miter. For cabinetry, you absolutely want that outside miter to line up.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks Sorry but unless we've got our inners and outers mixed up, for the outside of a mitre to touch before thin inner you require an over 45 degree angle, not under. The hair of a gap will be on the inside of a mitre.
Right, you want the end of the workpiece to be more pointy and less flat. To achieve that on a table saw, your blade needs to be at 44.9 degrees leaving you with a joint that is 45.1 degrees. Which is exactly what I said.
Table Saw. Much more reliable and accurate as long as it is under 38 inches. Over that and have to use the track saw. BTW, use the miter saw for small miters, say 4" or less
Agreed. Solid reasoning too!
Fraction joke killed me. 😂
60% of the time, it works every time.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks 3/5th of the time*
Precisely!
what software do you use for designing stuff?
I predominately use SketchUp for the CAD work but I like to use Adobe Illustrator for taking my work from the sketchbook to the computer first.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks thanks!
Tablesaw. Great tips, some I knew some I did not. You should add a Dad Joke counter on the screen, I lost count.
Sweet! Ha, I might just do that..
table saw thank you
Dido, and thank you for watching!
Nice build. Didn't you use a backside? Because then you might be able to avoid those Festool connectors, which are visible in an ugly way. Especially, since they are not on the bottom of the furniture, but in the middle of it.
Alternatively, you could take some wood of same type and clue it on top of the connectors. Of course, this would then be a "one-time" action.
Thanks! So they will eventually have plugs that conceal them but that isn't until the finishing touches. The two on the smaller side will also be hidden by the cabinet door so you would really have to be looking for them at that point to find them. I think those are fair trade offs especially given this will live on my third floor so the knock down nature makes that more manageable.
Flip the miter gauge in the table saw to give more capacity.
I have a right and left side miter sleds. Which side I use depends on the cut I am trying to make.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks I was referring to actually putting the miter gauge in backwards so the leading edge of the piece is against the fence of the gauge. It will give you more capacity than using it the regular way.
Oh, I think I see what you’re talking about. I feel like making a cut that way would be a little awkward, but with a regular miter gauge, in a pinch it would work.
Why don’t you use dust collection?
I do..
Just skimmed through this to find out I’m an idiot. Bought a 4mm domino cutter and dominos only to realize I can just trim mine like you did. Hahahahah. Cancelled my order
Haha yeah man. If you need this smaller just plunge a mortise in a small piece of scrap and pop them in one at a time so your fingers aren’t close to the blade.
