Superb quality throughout, easy to assemble. I found the saw to be highly accurate and a delight to use (I am a homeowner using this saw for various projects). I attached the saw to a folding mobile stand to save space and that works great th-cam.com/users/postUgkxPeGkHOMe05FySypTOvYumxMn-xi39oRe as well. However, you have to be sure the saw is securely locking in position before collapsing the stand. I've had many of the brands over the years and have come to point where I only buy Bosch, the extra money is a small price to pay for the quality and ease of use. Treat yourself to the best.
I love watching you work and explain your processes. You have a very logical mind and your instruction is easy to follow. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, skill and experience with us. Cheers !!
Brilliant channel that you have here Denis. You’re presentation and knowledge is superb, but the thing that shines through the most is your enthusiasm.
I'm spending a lazy day reviewing favorite Woodworking videos. Thank you again for all these wonderful ideas. After a five or so month wait, the Incra TS-LS Joinery System arrived. It's rail mounted to the sides of my 31" x 80" workbench with a Makita Jobsite saw dropped into the center. Wonderful to have Incra Positioner. Once I figure out what pattern to use placing dog holes with the Parf Guide, I may remove the trails and mount my Incra Positioner as you did and drop a Micro-jig/Parf Guide attractive down one side. Again, thanks for the ideas.
Great video! Thank you very much for sharing. I myself am trying to get away from my table saw as much as possible now as well (for several different reasons, but the biggest is safety due to some recent, very knarly kick backs that I'm lucky to have not been injured from). I've been looking for ways to rebuild my miter saw table and adding some sort of measuring device, as most of the wood I cut is roughly 13" (325'ish mm) and under. I will be implementing all your suggestions here, thanks again! Keep up the great work! I thought the music was ok, not the greatest. With that said, I don't really care what music is playing, as i'm here to listen to you and learn and not listen to music. Only reason I'm saying this is because of the comment below vvvvv.
These are excellent ideas. I'm putting a Incra Track System on my miter saw this weekend, they are sitting in the shop right now waiting to be installed.
I love the solid core black MDF you use for so many of your projects. If anyone knows where this can be purchased in the US, more importantly Florida, please leave a comment as to where. Thanks for sharing your awesome ideas.
Thank you for your videos. I have enjoyed the ones I have seen thus far. Liked both shop tour videos. I would be interested in hearing a bit about you and your woodworking journey. One comment with regard to safety which I see you stress; wearing gloves may not be the safest when working with machinery which may snag the glove and pull your hand into a spinning blade or bit. Once again I have really enjoyed your videos and I admire your attention to detail and your organization. Best regards. Paul. Long Beach California USA
I like the background music. Just maybe adjust the sound level to where you voice is more dominant. Your videos are very informative and well done. Very good editing job. These videos professional quality and could easily be sold as DVD sets.
I sure do wish you had been more specific about some of the stuff you used, like that clamp, and the piece you got at home depot!! I do love your videos, as as they give me great ideas for my pretty well outfitted shop. (i have a lot of the stuff you do, or very similar stuff, and im glad you use the incra ls, which is one of my favorite tools. I have a lot of stuff from incra. Being in the USA, in NY, i cant seem to find the black high density MDF over here, so i have been using Corian (i got it really cheap). I made your zero clearance insert for my Unisaw last night, and it has made my dust collection SO much better. I had tried a hood above, which helped, by no where near what yours did. I like your "out of the box" approach, and you get me thinking. Thanks so much!
Agree with all the others comments, really content, professional presentation....man you must be part German :-) Where about in the Netherlands are you based? Would love to stop by some time.
Nicely done and cool idea. i think i will build one of these for my ks60 too. and i really really like the black mdf worktops in your shop. never seen like this. i got some leftovers of black mdf, perhaps i will also start to build my shop a little more stylish with this material ;) thx and keep the good work up...
Thanks for your reaction Eber, I think it is nice when thinks are, apart form practical also a little bit stylish. To many DIY projects focus just on the practical part. I really like it when thinks are nice. And the black MDF is indeed awesome! Thanks Dennis
Love your work Denis (hope I’ve spelt your name correctly). I’m guessing you’re an aircraft engineer in your day job. So precise!! The black MDF looks really nice. Never seen it before (NZ)
Ahwww man wat een geweldige ideeen heb jij. Ik kijk veel Engelstalige houtbewewerkings filmpjes maar Engelstalig met een (achterhoeks?)accent is natuurlijk nòg leuker. Ook fijn dat ik in de buurt woon van jouw favoriete houthandel, nu weet ik waar ik die harde zwarte mdf platen kan verkrijgen! Je afleveringen zijn boeiend en boordevol goede ideetjes, mijn complimenten!
I must compliment you on your excellent video Dennis it's nice of you to spend the time and give people information and actually do a demonstration of the product that your using.. I do have a question about that MDF product that you used on a zero clearance insert and I'm assuming it's the same product that you using on the miter saw upgrade? I live in the United States so I know everything can be a little more difficult because people here don't want to adapt to the metric system. People tend not to like change lol I do have another question I was looking at buying some power tools from China and I couldn't get any straight answers on if there able to be converted to the American power standard of 110 or 220. If you had any insight on that that would be great to know. Keep up the excellent work I'm guessing you're either an engineer or an architect because you're meticulous in your details? I wish you the best with your channel
Hi Jr, thanks for your comment. My zero clearance is painted mdf, but i will change that to the same mdf as my miter saw. This is harder and smoother over time when using it.I can not answer your power tool question. I am sorry. For my work i come from a very different background. So if I can make it, everybody can😁. You just keep your head cool, focus and have some confidence. Best regards, Dennis
@@HookedonWood Dennis thank you for taking the time out to answer my message.. for me it was somewhat different my father was an engineer at Grumman first he worked on the Apollo lunar module and then he went to work on the f-14 program. So everything that he did around the house was done a lot like you very meticulous and very much attention to detail which is how I ended up being that way. I worked in the aviation field for many years and just recently retired. I recently put a dormer on top of my garage and built a woodworking shop. I wish you the best
Great ideas thanks. One thing to mention is that for the zero clearance blocks on the fence if instead of the dovetail you used a dado or 90deg slot the width of your plywood stock you could use plywood blocks as sacrificial blocks for infrequently used angled cuts including tilted rather the rotation mitres. But hey I guess you could even batch a load of dovetailed ones too? Anyway love the ideas and yes at least lower the volume of the music so it sounds less like a commercial!
Hi Ruaridh, thanks for you comment and your suggestion. You are right that you can use different methods to fit the mid section. I choose dovetail for a reason. As long that I leave one side of the miter fence in place, I always secured that the blad will be right in the middel of the saw blade. Because the dovetail connection gives no play for the midsection to move to left and right. That does not mean that a dado can work as well. And about the music. Consider it done. That was a rookie editing mistake! Thanks for you comments and for watching my channel. Best regards, Dennis
Just subscribed. Great channel! An even easier way to cut the center dovetail groove without measuring is to just get it close... run the piece thru , then flip it around and run it back thru again. The slot will automatically be in the middle of the piece. Then you can sneak up on the tails for a perfect fit every time. Keep up the great woodworking! And I love your video skills too. Well done!
Music must go. Had to turn it off and come down here to read what the material is. Thanks for that, great idea, going to try it for crown molding. Note: I've found that many products easily available around the world, are not available easily here(in the U.S.). No one seems to know why.
Clever upgrades. I wonder though at the height of your fence. What do you do if you wanted to cut a compound miter cut on say a 20 cm wide (or wider) piece of crown molding? Do you have a higher fence for those situations?
I like the style of your videos, but some of your recommendations are way beyond the budget of the general handyman or diy’er such as incra tool items, the payback on incra items would be years, great if you can afford them but not so good if you can’t. Even the Bangood tools are to expensive for some items that would only be used infrequently, I have purchased some of your recommended items from bangood and found them to be excellent value for money, these are at the lower end of the price bracket. I intend to buy more from banggood as and when I can justify the spend. Like I say your videos are very informative and enjoyable, I have subscribed and wish you well for the future.Best wishes from England🏴
Good day. Great content thanks. Please consider making a video of your planning process. From concept, process chosen, schedule and progress recording. Thanks again. Cheers
I like the content. Very cool looking material and great ideas. Only thing that got annoying after a very short time is the prominent repetitive music.
Hi, For a mitersaw, it is very nice. I think best in class, and one of the reason why I bought it. I increased the diameter from my suction hose, to get better performance. In thicker wood, it performs better than on 18mm wood. But still, I am very satisfied.
I appreciate the effort you put into your videos. As a point of helpful critique I find the background (music) noise distracting. I’m trying to concentrate and learn and unrelated noise is a deterrent for me. If I turn down the volume then I miss your infrequent commentary. Thanks
I love the removable fence, but I wonder whether it would be better to incorporate the bench dog holes into the fence extension base itself? That would guarantee both front to back, and left to right alignment. You might still need the clamps to prevent lifting, but I've seen "expanding" (clamping) bench dogs that could eliminate that as well.
Hi David, Good comment. I'm going to change that in the future because I actually think you're right. It gives just a little more certainty and does not take much extra time to make it. I do think you need a clamp because I think those "expanding bench dogs" are not long enough to clamp two plates together. I think they are intended to secure well in a hole.
I love your shop. There is so much natural light! What are its dimensions of the building? My shop is only 10' x 16' which is tight but the largest I wanted in the back yard so there is still plenty of room for my dog to run around and stretch his legs. This miter fence is beautiful, as nice as INCRA products are, they are way too expensive for most hobbyist. If I was doing this for income then I would want the best for accuracy. Is this what you do for a living? I like the clamp you added which I can easily install on my miter saw as I have about 6 of them indifferent sizes. I'm going to include this to a mobile miter station design with fold out wings. since I don't have the room for a big permanent station. The New Yankee Workshop put out a design on his channel that each side is folded twice so another wards, when you open a wing in the up position which is 3' long, you then reach behind that wing and another section folds out giving you a full 6' of length on both sides allowing you to cut 10-12' boards. It is very clever, and you are clever man too so you may want to watch it. th-cam.com/video/Y3aTkVMCALY/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for your link. I like it. I do not do this for work. It is some kind of hobby but i also like to make my shop as effective as possible. Not because for a better workflow, but just because it is very nice to work in a clean and organised environment. So that is part of the hobby to.
Hoi Dennis, wat zijn de afmetingen van de PVC verloopstuk(ken) achterop de Kapex? Welke slangdiameter gaat we vervolgens op? Overigens, geweldige videos!
@@FlamesOfThought yesm the music is mostly ok, but is louder than the 'voice channel', so that we need to keep playing with the volume, or get blasted out of my headphones ;-)
Hi Dennis, what do you ref accurate stop block & measurement if you want to cut a piece that's shorter than the start of the Incra fence on either side?
That is something I still have to do. I am thinking of making a T-track top of the fence with a sliding stop and a ruler against the fence. But on this moment, the old fashion way with a ruler and pencil and than cut against the line. With the festool I can make pretty accurate cuts against a line.
Hi Mark, I still like the festool but it happens more often lately that it is too small. I can handle this bij turning the wood around and the saw is accurate enough for that. If I have to decide today again, It will be a hard choice. I find the 12 very expansive for the few times I needed the larger capacity.
I also like the bosch GDL 12. But the lack of dust extraction against the festool is a problem. The festool is very good ad that point. I do not like all the constructions needed to control the dust.
Hi, thanks for comment. It is my own idea but I think with so many different mitre saw it is best that people get inspired and make something for them self. It is really not that hard to do. And if a dovetail is not easy to make, make a dado. It works almost the same. Thanks
Nice video. Can you tell me what the black steel hinge plate was used for? Did you buy it? OBI in Germany? I looked at Home Depot, Menards, and Lowes here in the USA and nobody has anything like that. The closest I could find is a hinge for a barn gate. What clamps are those? Model Number? Also, it would be nice to list all the items used to construct the system in each of your videos. I know that you started to do that with your China product reviews. Thanks and keep up on the series.
Hi Richard, Try to google "plaatduimen" and look at pictures. You probably see where they used for. "plaatduimen" is the dutch word and almost every Home Depot has them. But I try to find them but could not find a English/us word for it. So If you know the best subscription of it. Please let me know, than I can put it in my description under the video
These ideas are genius! Thanks for the video, what kind of material is that black stuff you're using? I'm guessing it's not available in the US (never seen it).
Black MDF I get a lot of questions about the black MDF. In the Netherlands this is fairly easy to obtain in the hardware stores. Here they call it fully colored MDF. Valchromat is also a fully colored MDF that is available everywhere. I think this is also very suitable, but it is much more expensive. However, this is a bit more robust, stiff and denser than the MDF I use. What I use is not Valchormat, but it looks a lot like that. What I use is cheaper and costs around 80 euros here in the Netherlands for a 240 x 120 cm sheet. I see several manufacturers worldwide who make fully colored mdf. The problem is that there is no brand name here in NL for this MDF. So I find it difficult to indicate which MDF is comparable with this worldwide. I believe in the USA this could be the same: www.forescolorusa.com
@@HookedonWood and now that you replied I see you've already answered that question in the video description, oops! How thick is it? It looked thicker than 18mm so it didn't occur to me it might be a sheet good.
Hi Michael, It is not so difficult to make, and every miter saw is different, so that is why a plan is difficult. Because a lot of people do not have a router table, I think I will make a few universal ones that people can cut in the right dimensions. What you get is basically the fence and the middle peace with the dovetail cut. I plan to sell these for a friendly price. Especially that this Full colored MDF is hard to get in some countries. I am busy on this moment making a new workbench, and when that is ready I start whit that project.
Hi Greg, It has no name in the Netherlands. Just full colored MDF. But it looks like Valchromat what is more known in the world. That Said, Valchromat is even more dense and has a higher quality. It also cost a lot more. I pay around 80 euro for a sheet of 240 x 120mm
Hi Lukas, sorry for my late response. Yes, I am satisfied with the dust collection. I think they are best in class. But you have to go cut in one movement. If you first cut a little and then the full cut it gives more dust. But one cut, especially thicker wood works very well. Dennis
We call it "duimplaat" google it, you will see some pictures and then perhaps you know what it is. I do not know the Englisch name. It is for hanging outside doors.
@@HookedonWood Thanks for your reply. Googleing it and I do see pictures of similar objects and can probably find it. According to Google, that word translates literally to "thumb plate" but, we don't call it that. But, I can probably figure it out. Thanks.
@@CaseAgainstFaith1 It's called a "pintle" in the US I believe, check out: www.homedepot.com/p/National-Hardware-1-2-in-Pintles-for-6-in-and-8-in-Straps-298BC-1-2-PNTL-ZN/203616878
Really like the video but it's a little 'over produced'. The flashy graphics are a little too much -distracting. That being said, I really like the fence with the dove tail insert. Hooked on Wood doesn't appear to be using wood for this project though... what kind of material is that? Wonderful shop, lots of great toys -edit: OK reading more comments (we should be required to do that!). Black MDF. I thought it was plastic!
@@HookedonWood Thanks for reading! I really do like the content! Looks like it should be on TV but, the details you provide is washed out a little by the 'flash'. I've been watching your other videos and, thanks for taking the time to produce this in English.
Hi there man.. I recently have noticed your chanel so instantly i subscribed.. I like your taste and i appreciate your work but i would love to see you focusing on the details of how you make things instead of focusing on the editing part of your vedios because for me i'd love to spend my time on TH-cam to boost my knowledge and it would be so beneficial if you do so.. Thanks again and best of luck my friend 🌹
Fantastic video Dennis. Could i ask what the wood material is that you made the fence from as its not a material I’m familiar with. Some sort of composite mdf maybe?
These clamps are from Bessey www.amazon.de/dp/B0051YM8DW/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_nl_NL=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=2DVX0TJKBRY1I&keywords=bessey+stc+waagrechter+grundplatte&qid=1578513539&sprefix=bessey+stc%2Caps%2C143&sr=8-1
The clamp on the drill press is from Bosch and comes delivered with the drill press. the part of the depot is what we call "plaatduimen" www.toolstation.nl/plaatduim/p45374?store=H1&gclid=CjwKCAiAu9vwBRAEEiwAzvjq-z3SnlW9plXR8YZh5D4IpxDOy2i-4SLU7rktkkPs2dhY0A_OXCtuXxoCkk8QAvD_BwE I do not find the right English translation. But it should be at de department hinges and locks
what is that clamp on your drill press? does it have a particular name? is it produced by a particular brand? i`ve been surfing the web an cannot find it anywhere...
Hi, This clamp is part of the Bosch PBD40 Drill machine. I Am not aware that you can buy this separate. But I have to say it is one aspect I like about the Bosch PBD40. But in General I think you can get better machines for this money in terms on stability and accuracy
Just found what appears to be Chinese knock-offs of the Bessey self-adjusting clamp for about 1/2 Bessey's price. They're on Amazon for about half price and are described as " Armor-Tool STC-HH70 Auto-Adjust Hold Down Toggle Clamp High Profile with Horizontal Base Plate".
@@HookedonWood Well, I'd expect the Besseys to be superior quality. These exchanges with European woodworkers are instructive in many ways. Once again, thank you.

Sir I’ve just found your channel outstanding Can you tell me what is the name of the material that are using (the very dark stuff) it appears to have some really good properties
The material is full colored mdf. This is not the same as valchromat. Valchromat is more expansive. Full colored mdf is much havier and dencer then normal mdf and i found it ideal for this kind of applications
This is Bessy, and I use the STC-HH70 www.amazon.de/Bessey-Waagrechtspanner-waagrechter-Grundplatte-STC-HH70/dp/B0051YLV6C/ref=sr_1_2?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=315TMJYWOJL12&keywords=bessey+stc+hh70+-+super+schnellspanner&qid=1575797921&sprefix=bessey+stc%2Caps%2C148&sr=8-2
@@HookedonWood I see some presumably Chinese knock-offs of the Bessey clamps retailing here in the States for $59 per pair plus $9 shipping, about 60% of the Bessey cost. Tools Today is the vendor and their item designation is "Axiom Item #AHC105". My question, though, is what is the item you got from Home Depot to provide quick detachment of the clamps called? It is unfamiliar to me and seems to have been modified by you. PS: keep up the good work and can the tunes. No matter what you use for background music it will not suit the taste of many viewers.
Loved the zero clearance fence for the mitre saw but I can not afford anything made by Incra. Their products look great but as a hobby wood worker they are just too expensive .
Hi Edge, I can't change this video. But I addressed this problem in newer video's. Consider it a rookie editing mistake. I still have a lot to learn and keep in mind this is a one man show. So I have to do woodworking, filming, editing. And I am not a professional and still have a lot to learn. Thanks for your comment.
@@HookedonWood I should apologise for my rude comment. You have a lot of very interesting content; I have just watched most/all of it. your quality of videography and knowledge of wood working is excellent. I hope to see a lot more of what you do with all the kit you have. Just please - no music at all. What you have to say is so much more relevant. Also what do you make of the triton router? I have the same but when mounted in a table i find it problematic in holding a depth setting...?
@@Brandlin Hi Brandlin, Thanks for your comment. About the Triton Router. You need to the black handle to lock it in place. This is also written in the description. So if you do not no what I mean, find them on Google. I can't place photo's here. This is a very easy process. If you have questions, feel free to ask.
@@HookedonWood Thanks for the reply. I understand how to use the router, and lock the depth. However when i release the lock, the depth drops under gravity 2-3mm. This makes it impossible to make minor adjustments and 'sneak up' on a cut. I have spoken to many other triton owners and none have this problem. Triton have also serviced my machine and tell me there is nothing wrong with it. I love the machine - apart from this frustrating problem.
Hi Brandlin, I have the same problem. I do not consider it a big issue, but when I use the router for a few seconds, it drops. I make small adjustments with my digital gauge. So I sort of have to set it up again. I am suprised that no one have this issue. I don’t think it is broken, just an issue every triton has. So I am suprised.
why are you trying to talk above that terrible music either you only explaing things or that music dont you look at your own videos before showing onyoutube
Hi William, Of course I look a lot at my video's before posting them. Editing is not something you do in one hour. This is an editing mistake. That said, I Edit it on a computer with external speakers and can hear me talking ok. If I look at my iPad it becomes a bit more terrible and sharp. Consider it a rookie mistake. I can't change it, otherwise I did. I can only upload a new version, but then a lot of my subscribers get a notification for a video they already seen. Thanks for your comments, and I won't happen again. :-)

Dank je Roni. Fijn weekend!
I must compliment you on your excellent video Dennis it's nice of you to spend the time and give people information and actually do a demonstration of the product that your using.. I do have a question about that MDF product that you used on a zero clearance insert and I'm assuming it's the same product that you using on the miter saw upgrade? I live in the United States so I know everything can be a little more difficult because people here don't want to adapt to the metric system. People tend not to like change lol
I do have another question I was looking at buying some power tools from China and I couldn't get any straight answers on if there able to be converted to the American power standard of 110 or 220. If you had any insight on that that would be great to know.
Keep up the excellent work I'm guessing you're either an engineer or an architect because you're meticulous in your details? I wish you the best with your channel
Hi Jr, thanks for your comment. My zero clearance is painted mdf, but i will change that to the same mdf as my miter saw. This is harder and smoother over time when using it.I can not answer your power tool question. I am sorry. For my work i come from a very different background. So if I can make it, everybody can😁. You just keep your head cool, focus and have some confidence. Best regards, Dennis
@@HookedonWood Dennis thank you for taking the time out to answer my message.. for me it was somewhat different my father was an engineer at Grumman first he worked on the Apollo lunar module and then he went to work on the f-14 program. So everything that he did around the house was done a lot like you very meticulous and very much attention to detail which is how I ended up being that way. I worked in the aviation field for many years and just recently retired. I recently put a dormer on top of my garage and built a woodworking shop. I wish you the best
Great ideas thanks. One thing to mention is that for the zero clearance blocks on the fence if instead of the dovetail you used a dado or 90deg slot the width of your plywood stock you could use plywood blocks as sacrificial blocks for infrequently used angled cuts including tilted rather the rotation mitres. But hey I guess you could even batch a load of dovetailed ones too?
Anyway love the ideas and yes at least lower the volume of the music so it sounds less like a commercial!
Hi Ruaridh, thanks for you comment and your suggestion. You are right that you can use different methods to fit the mid section. I choose dovetail for a reason. As long that I leave one side of the miter fence in place, I always secured that the blad will be right in the middel of the saw blade. Because the dovetail connection gives no play for the midsection to move to left and right. That does not mean that a dado can work as well.
And about the music. Consider it done. That was a rookie editing mistake!
Thanks for you comments and for watching my channel.
Best regards, Dennis
I will make both hold downs. Nice job there my friend!
Just subscribed. Great channel! An even easier way to cut the center dovetail groove without measuring is to just get it close... run the piece thru , then flip it around and run it back thru again. The slot will automatically be in the middle of the piece. Then you can sneak up on the tails for a perfect fit every time. Keep up the great woodworking! And I love your video skills too. Well done!
Hi Alan, thanks for your comment. You are absolute right. I had a blind spot here. Thanks for sharing that with us.
Best regards Dennis
Music must go. Had to turn it off and come down here to read what the material is. Thanks for that, great idea, going to try it for crown molding. Note: I've found that many products easily available around the world, are not available easily here(in the U.S.). No one seems to know why.
I saw this online. This looks like it, but is more expansive then what I use.

Dennis, I really enjoy your viedos. Where did you get your clamps for the miter saw upgrades for this video?
Clever upgrades. I wonder though at the height of your fence. What do you do if you wanted to cut a compound miter cut on say a 20 cm wide (or wider) piece of crown molding? Do you have a higher fence for those situations?
Excellent videos. I'm glad I found your channel. I just subscribed. Keep up the great work Dennis
Very nice video. Please lower the music volume on future videos. A good example was how loud it suddenly became around 4:30.
Hi David, good point, was a rookie mistake. Thanks for adding your comment.
smart upgrades, will be adding to my setup
I like the style of your videos, but some of your recommendations are way beyond the budget of the general handyman or diy’er such as incra tool items, the payback on incra items would be years, great if you can afford them but not so good if you can’t. Even the Bangood tools are to expensive for some items that would only be used infrequently, I have purchased some of your recommended items from bangood and found them to be excellent value for money, these are at the lower end of the price bracket. I intend to buy more from banggood as and when I can justify the spend. Like I say your videos are very informative and enjoyable, I have subscribed and wish you well for the future.Best wishes from England🏴
Good day. Great content thanks. Please consider making a video of your planning process. From concept, process chosen, schedule and progress recording. Thanks again. Cheers
Thanks for your comment Derrick. I Will see if I can show more about the things you mention.
Best regards,
Dennis
Great stuff! That’s a really nice looking incra system too!
I am very happy with it and it makes (woodworking) live so much easier. :-)
Thank`s good video 🇫🇮
Nice upgrades. Kill the music, especially when you're talking.
Yep, In my new video's this is done!
I concur. Not adding music to your videos will save you time editing and give you more time to make more informative videos.
I like the content. Very cool looking material and great ideas. Only thing that got annoying after a very short time is the prominent repetitive music.
How is the dust control with your Kapex? Like the upgrades!
Hi, For a mitersaw, it is very nice. I think best in class, and one of the reason why I bought it. I increased the diameter from my suction hose, to get better performance. In thicker wood, it performs better than on 18mm wood. But still, I am very satisfied.
I appreciate the effort you put into your videos. As a point of helpful critique I find the background (music) noise distracting. I’m trying to concentrate and learn and unrelated noise is a deterrent for me. If I turn down the volume then I miss your infrequent commentary. Thanks
I love the removable fence, but I wonder whether it would be better to incorporate the bench dog holes into the fence extension base itself? That would guarantee both front to back, and left to right alignment. You might still need the clamps to prevent lifting, but I've seen "expanding" (clamping) bench dogs that could eliminate that as well.
Hi David,
Good comment. I'm going to change that in the future because I actually think you're right. It gives just a little more certainty and does not take much extra time to make it. I do think you need a clamp because I think those "expanding bench dogs" are not long enough to clamp two plates together. I think they are intended to secure well in a hole.
I love your shop. There is so much natural light! What are its dimensions of the building? My shop is only 10' x 16' which is tight but the largest I wanted in the back yard so there is still plenty of room for my dog to run around and stretch his legs. This miter fence is beautiful, as nice as INCRA products are, they are way too expensive for most hobbyist. If I was doing this for income then I would want the best for accuracy. Is this what you do for a living? I like the clamp you added which I can easily install on my miter saw as I have about 6 of them indifferent sizes. I'm going to include this to a mobile miter station design with fold out wings. since I don't have the room for a big permanent station. The New Yankee Workshop put out a design on his channel that each side is folded twice so another wards, when you open a wing in the up position which is 3' long, you then reach behind that wing and another section folds out giving you a full 6' of length on both sides allowing you to cut 10-12' boards. It is very clever, and you are clever man too so you may want to watch it. th-cam.com/video/Y3aTkVMCALY/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for your link. I like it. I do not do this for work. It is some kind of hobby but i also like to make my shop as effective as possible. Not because for a better workflow, but just because it is very nice to work in a clean and organised environment. So that is part of the hobby to.
Hoi Dennis, wat zijn de afmetingen van de PVC verloopstuk(ken) achterop de Kapex? Welke slangdiameter gaat we vervolgens op? Overigens, geweldige videos!
thank you sir look forward to your future videos
Just amazing.
Lose the music, can't hear you clearly
Thanks Joseph, that was a rookie editing mistake. Won't happen again :-)
Or just reduce the volume. Thanks for the video
@@FlamesOfThought yesm the music is mostly ok, but is louder than the 'voice channel', so that we need to keep playing with the volume, or get blasted out of my headphones ;-)
Fantastic! Saved for future reference. Subscribed.
Thanks Brian
Outstanding!
Man, you must have a fortune in your tools!! I’m jealous lol
Hi Aaron, Yes ,the downside of these tools are the price. But working with them is a pleasure. Thanks for your comment!
Hi Dennis, what do you ref accurate stop block & measurement if you want to cut a piece that's shorter than the start of the Incra fence on either side?
That is something I still have to do. I am thinking of making a T-track top of the fence with a sliding stop and a ruler against the fence. But on this moment, the old fashion way with a ruler and pencil and than cut against the line. With the festool I can make pretty accurate cuts against a line.
Hi Dennis...What is the black material?
Superb thank you
Dennis, what are the self-adjusting clamps you are using?
www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0057PUL52/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
@@HookedonWood thanks
Dennis how do you like the Festool chop saw? Any regrets about not going for the larger model? Thanks Mark
Hi Mark, I still like the festool but it happens more often lately that it is too small. I can handle this bij turning the wood around and the saw is accurate enough for that. If I have to decide today again, It will be a hard choice. I find the 12 very expansive for the few times I needed the larger capacity.
@@HookedonWood Thanks Dennis. Yes I'm struggling justifying the sizeable increase in price of the larger one to be honest.
I also like the bosch GDL 12. But the lack of dust extraction against the festool is a problem. The festool is very good ad that point. I do not like all the constructions needed to control the dust.
Well done, Sir
Zero clearance back for clean cross cut - brilliant! I have never seen something like this before. If it's your own idea you should start selling it.
Hi, thanks for comment. It is my own idea but I think with so many different mitre saw it is best that people get inspired and make something for them self. It is really not that hard to do. And if a dovetail is not easy to make, make a dado. It works almost the same. Thanks
Nice video. Can you tell me what the black steel hinge plate was used for? Did you buy it? OBI in Germany? I looked at Home Depot, Menards, and Lowes here in the USA and nobody has anything like that. The closest I could find is a hinge for a barn gate. What clamps are those? Model Number? Also, it would be nice to list all the items used to construct the system in each of your videos. I know that you started to do that with your China product reviews. Thanks and keep up on the series.
Hi Richard,
Try to google "plaatduimen" and look at pictures. You probably see where they used for.
"plaatduimen" is the dutch word and almost every Home Depot has them. But I try to find them but could not find a English/us word for it.
So If you know the best subscription of it. Please let me know, than I can put it in my description under the video
Probably a bit late, but in case it helps - these would be called "hook on plate" hinge parts in the UK.
These ideas are genius! Thanks for the video, what kind of material is that black stuff you're using? I'm guessing it's not available in the US (never seen it).
Black MDF
I get a lot of questions about the black MDF. In the Netherlands this is fairly easy to obtain in the hardware stores. Here they call it fully colored MDF.
Valchromat is also a fully colored MDF that is available everywhere. I think this is also very suitable, but it is much more expensive. However, this is a bit more robust, stiff and denser than the MDF I use.
What I use is not Valchormat, but it looks a lot like that. What I use is cheaper and costs around 80 euros here in the Netherlands for a 240 x 120 cm sheet.
I see several manufacturers worldwide who make fully colored mdf. The problem is that there is no brand name here in NL for this MDF. So I find it difficult to indicate which MDF is comparable with this worldwide.
I believe in the USA this could be the same: www.forescolorusa.com
Do you sell a similar product for Festool KS 120?
Brian
Love this video, plan to add these upgrades to my saw when I can. What kind of wood did you use for your fence?
Hi, The wood I used we call Full Colored MDF, It looks like valchormat but is a lot cheaper here in the Netherlands.
@@HookedonWood and now that you replied I see you've already answered that question in the video description, oops!
How thick is it? It looked thicker than 18mm so it didn't occur to me it might be a sheet good.
@@zski03 Hi, It is 18mm.
nice video!
this looks awesome. do you plan on making plans or making this upgrades for sale
Hi Michael,
It is not so difficult to make, and every miter saw is different, so that is why a plan is difficult. Because a lot of people do not have a router table, I think I will make a few universal ones that people can cut in the right dimensions. What you get is basically the fence and the middle peace with the dovetail cut. I plan to sell these for a friendly price. Especially that this Full colored MDF is hard to get in some countries. I am busy on this moment making a new workbench, and when that is ready I start whit that project.
What is the name of the material you are using? the black stuff?
Hi Greg, It has no name in the Netherlands. Just full colored MDF. But it looks like Valchromat what is more known in the world.
That Said, Valchromat is even more dense and has a higher quality. It also cost a lot more. I pay around 80 euro for a sheet of 240 x 120mm
Hello Dennis, I am interested in buying a kapex ks60, are you satisfied with the dust collection? Did you make any improvements? Thank you!
Hi Lukas, sorry for my late response.
Yes, I am satisfied with the dust collection. I think they are best in class. But you have to go cut in one movement. If you first cut a little and then the full cut it gives more dust. But one cut, especially thicker wood works very well.
Dennis
@@HookedonWood Hello Dennis, no worries. :)
Thank you for your answer and your valuation. Very much appreciated!
Lukas
That thing you got from Home Depot with the big peg, what is it called?
We call it "duimplaat" google it, you will see some pictures and then perhaps you know what it is. I do not know the Englisch name.
It is for hanging outside doors.
@@HookedonWood Thanks for your reply. Googleing it and I do see pictures of similar objects and can probably find it. According to Google, that word translates literally to "thumb plate" but, we don't call it that. But, I can probably figure it out. Thanks.
@@CaseAgainstFaith1 It's called a "pintle" in the US I believe, check out: www.homedepot.com/p/National-Hardware-1-2-in-Pintles-for-6-in-and-8-in-Straps-298BC-1-2-PNTL-ZN/203616878
In the UK it's a "hook on plate" hinge part.
Really like the video but it's a little 'over produced'. The flashy graphics are a little too much -distracting. That being said, I really like the fence with the dove tail insert. Hooked on Wood doesn't appear to be using wood for this project though... what kind of material is that? Wonderful shop, lots of great toys -edit: OK reading more comments (we should be required to do that!). Black MDF. I thought it was plastic!
Thanks for your comments. I will keep it in mind for my next video’s
@@HookedonWood Thanks for reading! I really do like the content! Looks like it should be on TV but, the details you provide is washed out a little by the 'flash'. I've been watching your other videos and, thanks for taking the time to produce this in English.
Hi there man.. I recently have noticed your chanel so instantly i subscribed..

Fantastic video Dennis. Could i ask what the wood material is that you made the fence from as its not a material I’m familiar with. Some sort of composite mdf maybe?
We call it full colored mdf. Where do you come from? I mean the country?
The uk. I know the stuff now. It just seemed almost plastic in the video!
Expensive stuff but i can see the benefits of using it for jigs and alike.
Great video, terrible music haha does anyone know what clamps they are. They look good and would like them for mine
These clamps are from Bessey

great gear sir but had to concentrate hard coz of the backround music.
thnx for the shear

"Hook on plate" in English
what is that clamp on your drill press? does it have a particular name? is it produced by a particular brand? i`ve been surfing the web an cannot find it anywhere...
Hi, This clamp is part of the Bosch PBD40 Drill machine. I Am not aware that you can buy this separate. But I have to say it is one aspect I like about the Bosch PBD40. But in General I think you can get better machines for this money in terms on stability and accuracy
Just found what appears to be Chinese knock-offs of the Bessey self-adjusting clamp for about 1/2 Bessey's price. They're on Amazon for about half price and are described as "
Armor-Tool STC-HH70 Auto-Adjust Hold Down Toggle Clamp High Profile with Horizontal Base Plate".
thanks for the info! I bought the Bessey STC-HH70 for 22 euro. So I Think in Europe the price difference is not that big.
@@HookedonWood Well, I'd expect the Besseys to be superior quality. These exchanges with European woodworkers are instructive in many ways. Once again, thank you.

Sir I’ve just found your channel outstanding
Can you tell me what is the name of the material that are using (the very dark stuff) it appears to have some really good properties
The material is full colored mdf. This is not the same as valchromat. Valchromat is more expansive. Full colored mdf is much havier and dencer then normal mdf and i found it ideal for this kind of applications
Hooked on Wood where do you source it? I can’t seem to find much info on it... I’m in the US by the way. Great channel!
who manufactures those auto clamps you added?

I hope to see a lot more of what you do with all the kit you have. Just please - no music at all. What you have to say is so much more relevant.
Also what do you make of the triton router? I have the same but when mounted in a table i find it problematic in holding a depth setting...?
@@Brandlin Hi Brandlin, Thanks for your comment. About the Triton Router. You need to the black handle to lock it in place. This is also written in the description. So if you do not no what I mean, find them on Google. I can't place photo's here. This is a very easy process.
If you have questions, feel free to ask.
@@HookedonWood Thanks for the reply. I understand how to use the router, and lock the depth. However when i release the lock, the depth drops under gravity 2-3mm. This makes it impossible to make minor adjustments and 'sneak up' on a cut. I have spoken to many other triton owners and none have this problem. Triton have also serviced my machine and tell me there is nothing wrong with it. I love the machine - apart from this frustrating problem.
Hi Brandlin, I have the same problem. I do not consider it a big issue, but when I use the router for a few seconds, it drops. I make small adjustments with my digital gauge. So I sort of have to set it up again. I am suprised that no one have this issue. I don’t think it is broken, just an issue every triton has. So I am suprised.
