I have that same Ridgid job site saw. Do you find that your fence is out of alignment sometimes? I regularly measure in two places to make sure the distance is accurate.
My least favorite tool is my circular saw. For some reason that I cannot explain, that thing scares me to Kingdom Come and back. And, yep - I saw those teeth pointing the wrong direction before the blade even stopped. I don’t think I’ve done that … yet. I did put the flange on backwards once. It’s a good thing that was not a contractor saw, because I would have smoked the belt trying to figure out what was happening. It just makes us human, wether we want to be or not 😬🦸🏻♂️ PS Hello! I’m new to your channel. I’ve already subscribed, I’ve checked out some of your videos, I’ve checked out some of your shorts and I look forward to watching more!!
rich guy over here with his pennies and nickles. what's next.. quarters for spacers? the stuff people flaunt on youtube now a days! great video, i need to make a crosscut sled do i might have to finally do one with these steps
ive put a brand new blade on backwards in the early days and wondered why the wood was wasnt cutting. we all do dumb stuff. its not because we are dumb. its bcoz of the passion is greater than the focus
The router is definitely my most concerning tool. When you have a bit turning at TWELVE THOUSAND RPM that isn't cutting all the way through material, it becomes kind of concerning.
Your kickback had nothing to do with the Micro Jig Gripper. It was from the fact that you let go of the wood while it was still in contact with the blade when you went to turn off your saw instead of always pushing the wood past the blade before you let go of it. That is just asking for kickback.
You're right to never buy a stop block because it's cheaper to make your own. How much was that thin rip gauge? Why didn't you make that? Super simple. I'm not ragging; I make almost everything myself. Aluminum cuts easily with woodworking tools. Thanks.
The Michael Johnson reference alone gets this video a thumbs up 👍
what is the hand saw called you're using

I have the Milescraft Grabber Pro. It has a “lip” on the end that keeps it on the board.
Yoda!!! Also, the backwards blade is totally something I would do.
Haha I love integrating Star Wars at random times.

Absolutely! Thanks for the comment.

Absolutely. I feel like I can make 15 cuts with no issues and then number 16 I get a kick.
Good stuff, silly!
Thank you!

Thank you! I just wanted to try out a the thin rip jig from wood river (which I bought from Woodcraft). Maybe I'll need to make one also!
