How to make half-laps on the sliding miter saw

- Today I discovered a great method in order to make half laps on the sliding Miter saw. This is great for a do it yourself kind of guy who may not have a table saw or radial arm saw. Once you get a hang of this you can bash out this strong square joint very quickly.

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed and super helpful for my novice self.
Nice. I've been considering getting a sliding miter saw as an upgrade to my compound unit. Thanks for the demonstration!
Just what I was looking for, thanks!
That's what I was looking for: depth-adjustment for a miter saw to make overlapping joinery and cutting dados. Thanks.
Awesome.... thanks for this. Another tip to add to my arsenal
Didn't know I could do this
Thank you so much
Good tutorial. Whenever I see videos showing this, I wish I had got a sliding saw instead of a fixed arm
Highly appreciated 👌🏽
Chisel it before sanding.
cool idea and solution. thanks!
Just occurred to me that if my Miter saw does not have a depth stop on it, or you don't have a miter saw at all; this same principle could easily be used just as well with a circular saw and a speed square as a guide for the series of parallel cuts. Thank you for jogging my mind!
great video!!!
I wasn't aware that I had a depth stop on my miter saw. Thanks for the tip!
could you just use the drop saw to run over the excess?
Tell us about the snow maker??
you could chisel off what's left ,or just wave it around under the chop saw.
Could multiple blades be stacked or a dado cutter installed? This would speed up simple joins like this no end!
thank you after cherching for to long i find what i was looking you could make a other video just showing how to ajust the hight of the blade very good.
Thanks a lot for this tip. All I have is a sliding mitre.
+Narasimha Casturi Thank you for watching, I am glad you were able to find this video. Now I feel like it was worth making! Haha
can I do this with a Ryobi sliding miter saw tell me how to do it?
sander to use on that, good idea but i use good old chisel, it do job quite good.
Which model has the depth stop ? I need to do the same job, but it’s a 2 inch deep mortise in a 4x4 inch beam. Thanks.
Cool thx!
you could do halving joints as well i expect this way then tidy up the waste with a Router
Just did it on green, rough sawn red oak 4x4 in 4' and 6' lengths.
Ryobi has a 2" max stop. Had to remove the plastic dust collector to get the full 2" cut.
Next time I'm using a general purpose blade. Probably dulled the heck out of the 60 tooth that was on the saw. Too lazy to change the blade
I just figured this out myself and had to look it up on RUclips to see if it was a common known technique. I do have a very nice table saw! but I do Not have a radial arm saw,
The reason I needed this is because I am making a bench with mitered half laps, and my piece of stock is 10 feet long 2x4 , it is impossible to use a tablesaw because too much stock is hanging off the side of the table saw. even with the friend it is just way too awkward! I may buy a radio alarm saw it in the future but for right now this got the job done ✅
It's important to learn how to dial in the exact dept
are they reference lines in blue tape for your camera work? 😉. great video mate
Thanks, I couldn't figure out what you meant by "reference lines in blue tape" until now. Haha, it took me long enough. Those are actually for knee hockey so I have the center line and the two blue lines. Sorry it took me so long to respond.
Haha! Just watched your informative video. I'm from Minnesota and knew what they were right away!
At the 1:32 mark, is that a normal thing for all sliding saws? I just bought my first sliding saw and was wondering if I should return it for a different one because of this.
I am going to be building a 6' high privacy fence gate using 2 X 4s as the gate frame, can you tell me if this would be a good joint to use for this?
Great video!
It all depends on what you want. I'm not exactly sure what you are planning to do. This is a very quick and easy way to make a good joint, however it won't look the best. Mortise and tenons would look the best for this project but those are obviously a lot harder and more time consuming.
Thanks, I'll check out my options and figure out which best way to tackle the project...
+Jeff Stone If you haven't already, check out the samurai carpenter he does some of that sort of stuff. Plus he really knows what he's talking about
I just built a gate using this technique courtesy of Paul Ricalde on RUclips. The only difference is that I used a 2 x 6 to attach the hinges to so that formed one side of the gate. Plus that gives the top and bottom 2 x 4s another 2 1/2 inches of half lap to grab onto. Don't spare the glue and use waterproof, NOT water resistant. I used Titebond III. I had to measure each board to do this as some of the 2 x 4s I used were slightly more than 3 1/2 inches wide so beware of that. You cannot batch process the wood when it varies in dimension.
+Jeff Stanley That's good information, I'll check into all of that, thanks and hope your gate gives you years of service.
Very useful thanks could use a chisel to get rid of the off bits on that joint 😃
I agree. A nice sharp chisel will work better than a palm sander.
Yes, I would also use a good sharp chisel. I still really ENJOYED the video. The young man, did a very good job. Cheers from Canada, Polar Bear country.
Which model Ridgid Sliding Compound Miter are you using ? 👍🏻
Please wait 2-4 more years for this information. I was wondering the same thing, then realized oh this video from 2014... need to make sure I buy a mitre saw with a depth stop.
The one e is using
Must check my mitre saw and see if I have a depth stop.....
Great vid. one thing.. keep the mic close as your voice faded many times.
Tried this on my Mitrse sliding saw but the stop bolt isnt long enough ,ill have to find a longer bolt good idea thanks
No problem, it works pretty good
nice! never knew that about this particular saw..very cool i use half laps quite a bit too.. good stuff man i think that went pretty smooth..i can use this trick/tip at work ..thanks for sharing man!!
Joe Walters No problem, I needed to make half laps one day and I thought there must be a way to do it with the miter saw. I just took a little time to think about and made this method up.
thats awsome..hence the saying:
"can do anything if u put your mind to it"
once i get the time im gonna use this method for my next workbench build..cut to size and half lap it all in one shot! i like it!!haha
👍👏👏👏👏👏
You are lucky your saw maintains the same height of cut during sliding, some do not and you end up with a goobered half lap.
To get rid of the bits on the bottom, I cut out as much as possible, hammer the pieces off as shown. Then I put the piece back on the mitre saw start it up and drop the blade down to its stop depth and then just run the piece of wood under the blade. It kind of acts like a router and cleans up any high points on the half lap.
03:47 *Way* too many cuts there [takes me about seven {dados as well}. I clean it up with a piece of scrap wood & mallet and flatten the thing with a rasp].
при помощи ножовки и широкой стамески, или топорика, вполдерева намного быстрее делается
Mine works too. I used the Woodglut plans and performed it without any problems.
I would suggest that if you want to learn to joint do it by hand and not to use that method. If you practise hand joints day in and day out you will become a master of them.

Man youre just too loud.. I cut it when i hear it.. Sorry
