    Nice one matey. I have one for you since you asked. You can cut 3 or 4 or more boards with only one pencel mark on the first one by placing them on top of each other than make the first board and cut only the top board and after you remove the scrap the blade would have left a scoreline on the next board for you to follow, and so on. (Building site trick mostly used for battens and joists but works with any cut)

    These sort of videos are worth their weight in gold.....
    It would be unfair to call it a compilation video as it highlights so many useful tips that can be easily missed in the build episodes.
    I particularly enjoy both the ‘smug’ “of course I know that” moments and the lightbulb moments of “why don’t I know that” or “of course it’s so obvious why didn’t I think of that”
    Thank you great content as always, Peter.

    Absolutely fantastic stuff! Oh how I could have done with this a couple of days ago when cutting French cleats for my shelf on your mobile bench build. Couldn't stop the piece moving. Tape it to the supporting piece! So obvious now! Took me 2 hours and many 'practice' cuts to get just 2 pieces done so at least I know how to do the others now. Thank you so much.

    Good Stuff. Cutting French cleats this way was one of the first things I did after getting my track saw. So far I haven’t come across a cut that I need which would require a table saw. Those waste side jigs are great. I got them based on your video and not disappointed at all.

  • @ron1martens
    @ron1martens 2 года назад +1

    Cutting ply or working with ply is my favourite material I like working with. I notice at around 6 minutes after doing the angle cut you were limited for space and a slight burn mark near the end of the material you cut.
    I think that's because you didn't have enough space after the cut or you will hit vacuum hose.
    Your attention to detail and perfection is on another level.
    Great video.

    As voiced by others, since purchasing my track saw I seem to find more uses for it. I love the safety aspect for cutting sheet material and thin strips. I have the 36v Makita but am thinking about adding a corded version on the Festool, Makita and Triton track system. When I am working away from my shop, nothing beats a cordless tool. IMHO. But, in the shop having the cord attached to the hose is really pretty efficient. I am going to order some of the makita Strawbyte waste side jigs.
    thanks for the tips on the partial bevel cuts. keep up the great videos I always learn something. Thanks Peter.

    I couldn’t agree more about your comments on the Strawbyte jig. I seem to use it daily. I’m a left handed lad and tend to “see” the job the other way round from you right handers and naturally want to have the waste on the left of the track rather than the saw side. That little jig is a game changer in terms of accuracy.
    Loads of other good stuff in the vid as well, as per….

      Well, that’s the point really - they may be ‘easier’ on a table saw, but if you don’t have one or have space for one, or the budget for a decent one, then these cuts can be done, safely and easily. 👍👍

    @steveblewer1202 3 года назад

    Hi Peter, awesome video as usual 👍. As a novice, making cuts with the track saw, on thin materials always worries me, as I didn’t really know the best way to achieve it. I was almost considering purchasing a job site track saw, pretty much for just that, as I don’t have a workshop. But you have now given me more confidence in using my track saw (Makita) and rails for doing this, especially as I love using my folding MFT workbench that I built with your plans. The only thing I need to find now, is a shorter piece of track, as my 1400mm long pieces are a bit of a nightmare at times. I think Makita do a 1000mm length, so may go for that.
    Also, after watching your videos I purchased the BenchDogs Guide rail set, and will be getting their Square.
    Keep up the amazing work, love watching your video with Denis from Hooked on Wood as well. His workshop looks amazing!

    • @10MinuteWorkshop
      @10MinuteWorkshop  Год назад

      Thanks Geoff! A lot will depend on what you want to do with it, and wether you have an MFT bench or MFT top, and also not sure what's available down under, so excuse me if I reply in generalities, rather than specific brands?
      If you have an MFT then benchdogs are a must, a fence & flagstops very useful to have. A rail hinge is very useful, but the Dave Stanton dog locks are a great product and take up less space - and cost less too! Some horizontal clamps are very useful for holding things down - been using the Bessey ones (featured in my recent Gifts List video) and they work very well, without lifting the workpiece.
      If you don’t have an MFT then a rail square is very useful, either bought or made, and / or parallel guides really help if you need to make regular rips of a consistent width. And rail clamps of course - always room for rail clamps, especially when any kind of a slip-up would be expensive!
      Other than those, I think how you’re planning to use the saw would determine the best accessories; if you can give me some idea of that then I can probably come up with a few others, OK?
      Hope that helps and thanks again! Peter

  • @conhare
    @conhare 3 года назад

    As always, really well made and very useful video for the track saw users out there. I had wondered if there’s a safe way to make tapered legs using a track saw? It’s something I’ve seen done many times on a table saw, but it would be great if there was a way to do it without having to go down that particular route. And every way I can think of doing it with a track saw seems precarious, at best!

    • @10MinuteWorkshop
      @10MinuteWorkshop  3 года назад

      Thanks! Biggest issue with tapered legs - precarious-ness aside - is the depth of cut restricts you to fairly small-section legs! 👍

  • @nialstewart8263
    @nialstewart8263 3 года назад +1

    Taping the support piece to the bit you're cutting is a good idea. I had a kickback incident trying to make a small cut off the side of a thin piece. I had a support beside it under the track but was leaning over the saw to see where to stop the cut and think I must have put some sideways pressure on the saw, the piece was able to shift and catch the blade. it was pretty scary, happened instantly and put a big gouge in my track. I think taping the bit being cut and the support together would have stopped it. (Also note the 'grippy' strips on the bottom of the makita track are quite far away from the cut). Lesson learned I hope.

    • @nialstewart8263

      Bit more info, this was an Erbauer saw on a 1.5m Makita track. The adjustment knobs are at their limit and I'm not 100% happy that there's no side to side movement of the saw on the track. Also the Festool riving knife would probably have stopped this happening. The 'safety' dilemma now is whether to upgrade to the Makita saw, or Festool. :-)

      Ooch! Can give you a bit of a 'moment' if that happens! As I say in the vid a bevel cut is the one where I always recommend clamping the rail and the workpiece. Erbauer is a nice saw, but the Festool is a significant step up (from the Erbauer and the Makita, IMHO) if you can swing the extra £££. 👍

    Excellent video again Peter, and great timing too, as I'm considering a re-jig of my single garage and have been debating whether to get rid of my cheap Scheppach table saw (Lidl special). What are your thoughts on whether the table saw could be made redundant? Long narrow cuts. ripping timber such as pallet wood are the main things I can't realy see a better way of doing, apart from my bandsaw.

    • @10MinuteWorkshop
      @10MinuteWorkshop  3 года назад +1

      Thanks Alan. Honestly, I’m having the same debate; I have a table saw but don’t use it much. The ling, narrow rips are arguably the use-case - everything else I do on the tracksaw. I’ve done plenty of lkngvrios with the tracksaw, mind! 👍

      Terrific tips! I bought my track saw after my table saw, so just to keep it from getting jealous, I do most those angle/bevel cut on it. Although, on smaller pieces the track saw does work a bit better. 👍

      I did try your method and come across two things.
      1. It's hard for me to anchor the rail when laying on some scraps. I see you got there some hinges. How do you adapt it to different thickness of material?
      2. I realised that there are no "square" pieces in my shop. If I use non square piece then it would affect the final cut.
      And how to create small square pieces without tablesaw with crosscut I have no idea.
      I tryed to resolve this by putting track on sides of constant size (40mm) then set a blade on 45mm.
      I squared the rail using speed square.
      This got me some good initial results but on small piece I got kickback.
      It was because the piece could not be firmly held in place. It was smaller then rail and I did not have any scrap that would fit between then rail and the piece.
      So this was not the best method.
      Let me know what you think.

    • @10MinuteWorkshop
      @10MinuteWorkshop  3 года назад +1

      With a tracksaw the rail *must* be in full contact with the material you're cutting, and preferably clamped down or secured in some way. I use a Festool MFT table - see videos 182 and 183 for information on these (182 is here - ruclips.net/video/0V-p5F7SjO4/видео.html) I have many video on safe use of tracksaws, making a crosscut jig etc... and they are all in a playlist called Tracksaw Workshop, here - bit.ly/TracksawWorkshop
      Hope that helps! P

    Excellent video. With a track saw and an MFT type system, you can do most things a table saw can.
    One that stumps me is how to do an angled cut along the face of a board, as with a door threshold that has a slight ramp. On a table saw, you would put the board against the fence vertically. The blade would have a slight angle away from the fence.
    Any idea if this type of cut is possible with a track saw plus your typical MFT type jigs?

  • @WobblycogsUk
    @WobblycogsUk 3 года назад +1

    I liked the wedge cutting idea, that will save me some time. I looked like you had kick back marks on the track you were using, any chance you'd say a few words on what happened there? I've had the blade bind on my tack saw but it's never kicked back like that must have.

    The track saw king! I get a lot of inspiration from your videos Peter. And am constantly learning (albeit slowly 🤣) I have recently got a Bosch cordless track saw and it allows for -1 degrees and 46/47 degree bevels. I've never had to do a bevel cut like that before and am not really sure why you would need to, so I wanted to ask if you have? I can't find a lot online about it, so would really appreciate your tips! Thanks a lot Peter and happy 2023! (PS it looks like a saw cut across your rail has happened in the wedges video? Or maybe it's a trick of the light. Anyway, this happened to me not long ago, the saw I was using kicked back on a twist in the wood and hey presto I had a beautiful long bite taken out of my track 😂Nothing a bit of filing didn't fix though 😅)

    • @10MinuteWorkshop
      @10MinuteWorkshop  Год назад +1

      Thanks! Negative cuts are sometimes used when you need a slight bevel, but can’t flip the work, or when the saw gets in the way eg trimming flooring against a wall - you can get tighter to the wall with the saw body canted over a bit. Don’t think I’ve ever used the feature, though most plunge saws have it. 🤷‍♂️👍
