I removed the allen bolts that hold the lower fence to the to the saw bed and inserted very small paper wedges under the fence at the rear of the bolts towards the back of the saw, it puts a small twist on the lower fence therefore making the upper fence 90 to the bed, takes some time but it works, hopefully I explained it clearly.

Your idea works great. I did have another idea and wondered about how well it would work. Take a scrap piece and drill the size hole you want with the spade bit. Then, tightly clamp that piece over the object hole you want to enlarge making sure it's centered. Would the scrap piece guide you perfectly through?

How do you know exactly what thickness of bit to drill with?

This is genius! Thank you for taking the time to show this! I have this exact problem and now I can fix it without renovation!🎉

Appreciate the quick answer and the detailed explanation and demo! Interestingly enough, announcing the winner early made me wanna understand why.

Newer Spyder hole saws have the added function of a quick pop center release, allowing you to push the center bit up and pop the plug super quick

Ok. So I wanted to leave at 2 minutes but your outright honesty made me want to stay.

I had 4 replacements from Makita. All bad. Gave up and went to DeWalt. The Makita was a nicer smooth better finished machine but I can't have the problems. My sliding rails were out of alignment so it cut a slight curve when doing sliding cuts. And if I leaned the saw over for a bevel, that would make it go out of square to the fence. Nightmare for cutting tall skirting (base board) laying flat.

i finished my shelf and went to drill the holes with the exact same shelf hardware you have and was like fuck this does not fit under my drill press i cant believe theres a video for this exact problem ty bro

Awesome - never seen this done upside down like this, on a table. Getting ready to do two of my own doors. Thank you for the video!

Thank you for the review, now I want to buy a Franklin but I live in Australia. Any ideas how I could get a ProSensor MAX?

TY for the info!

I love my franklin. I have the older one with not as many leds. It worked through hardy board siding no problem recently.

The D-Tect 120 is around $250 at the moment. It's not supposed to need calibration according to Bosh videos. I think you need you put your hand on the wall though. It's supposed to detect water filled pipes, plastic or metal. So you are comparing 2 different capabilities for one purpose, to be fair to the Bosh. I'm in active research of a new stud finder and I'm still hesitating on the Bosh as it has unconclusive reviews. This Franklin is impressive, it might be the one. Is it as good on drywall and other wall structures?

I picked up that Franklin a while back and have been very pleased with it so far. Keep making videos.

Very smart! I can't believe it's not part of the jig kit. I wonder what else you can use if you don't have a tripod laying around. They are $20 on Amazon though so worst case scenario, you could use the other 2 legs to make another kind of jig.

Can this be done to wood floors?

Very nice. Thanks for the demo!

What brand?........

I agree it's a deal breaker. I just bought the LS1019 and the fence design sucks. Even the fixed lower fence is not straight and when you tighten the inner of the 4 bolts holding it on, it warps the fence down and in so that it dramatically increases the chance of kickbacks. In 40 years I have never had a kickback] problem with a miter saw. Now I do. I took it into a Makita repair shop under warranty and they replaced the lower fence but agreed it's just a bad design. It did not fix my issue. Maybe some tape will. I wish I had bought the Kapex.

Thanks! Great idea

I cannot remove that upper fence! Its stuck, ive loosened the knob but it wont come off.

I ordered these for our new build. But this home should have gotten a wider shutter. They have the room.

Just returned a Dewalt DWS716XPS today for the same issue I not going to shim a $650 saw to make it right . My old DW705 is perfect .

Same issue on my Dewalt, same issue on ever brand on display at home depot... I was there the other day inquiring about this same issue...

What kind of a torch is this? I need one!

Same exact issue on mine, I’ve worked with tape and an aux fence. Disappointed to say the least.

Hello! Dont know if you found a solution to this but, i have the corded version of this saw with the exact same issue. I have two solutions. 1. Use masking tape in varying layers of thickness on the face of the fence to make it square. Actually works really easily. 2. Once i saw that that worked, there is a company called Custom Fabricating Solutions. They make a zero clearance fence for this saw that fits on the front of the original fence. It also solves the issue of squareness. So i bought it.

Hi if you are still there after so long thank you very much how ever I have taken my appart but can't put back the cam switch can you help me out please

Great advise. Thanks

Im making something similar for some furniture to the bathroom. I think i will go with one coat off matt varnish or do you think it will be better to give it a small layer off a glossy varnish. i belive that when you burn it will be already very matt texture so best to make it a little glossy ??

LS1219 same problem

Is there the same issue with the corded LS1019? I suppose so, as it has the same fence.

I have the same saw and deal with the same struggle. Disappointing like you said.

I wanted makita Traded it in same Problem so i Bought dewalt dws 780

Because its made in china Its ashame!

I do have 800’ of crown to run. Along with base, chair rail

Mine doesn’t turn on. The cord is beat up but not sure what the problem is.

Very very 🎉🎉 these is cool tric 😮

This is exactly what I needed. I am trying to mount a 2x10 using Amazon bought hardware and I tried making a sled for the drill with the long bit (12”) and the angles were just off. Thank you so much for posting this! I’ve watched 10s of videos but this one solves it.

How much did the torch cost and how fast do you go through the propane tank

Thanks for sharing going to try it🙏

This guy should be sponsored by @Makita

This is the 2nd most pro handyman on TH-cam !!

Yay

Thank you! This is the only video I could find that shows the right way to do this. I keep seeing people go right through the batton. Getting ready to install some of these tomorrow and I thought there is no way it goes through the batton, its supposed to be hidden, why else would they have the batton piece separate.

Did you have to use a router so it flush mounts to the wall. To make up for bracket thickness

Or you can screw a board on top of it temporarily and mark it back out, then drill through both, unscrew the top board and there you go. This is a little bit tougher with a paddle bit than a standard but it works

I have the dewalt shadow line 110v. I want to upgrade to something specifically to handle 100mm oak every day. Obviously mains power is going to be better than battery. Don't know where to start.
