Man alive, i nevee thought id binge DIY stuff. Thanks so much for showing relativelt cheap diy us possible. You really are a genius! Really helpful for us DIY wannabes in the UK!
Absolutely brilliant! I have some of those straight edges which work perfectly as guides for my router when doing round overs on MDF, but I can see how they can pull double duty with this nifty little jig. Thank you sir, keep up the great content!
@@CasualDIY Hi sir, If I want to extend the length of the T-track, what accessory will I buy to extend it? The maximum length I can buy in the shop is 800mm. I want to extend it so I can cut a whole 4x8 ft plywood. Do you have a video of it??. Thank you in advance.
The problem with this saw track isn’t the woodwork….it’s obtaining that extra long super straight ali T track. Amazon doesn’t like T track over 14 inches. You CAN get it in four foot lengths if you don’t mind buying ten at once for 90 bucks….Angle iron might be an option, but getting it absolutely straight can take some researching….However, the build is well done, well explained and inspiring…Thank you.
if the kerf will be the same then no reason to change the jig. However if the kerf of the blade will be different then this could produce some inaccuracy.
Love all your video and can’t wait to try some projects. It would be good if you could put links to where you get your T tracks and clamps from to. Cheers
Excellent idea, and this is simple enough for me to have a go. What type of ply are you using and roughly what were the dimensions of your stock please?
Thanks, its 12mm construction graded ply. I can't find this jig at the moment ( moved houses ) but from the t-track side it was 2cm from the edge to the base of the saw and the rest is not that important, leave at least 2cm - 5cm around the base of the saw.
Hehe just two. Two years ago I have moved to a new one. So you see one single bay garage red brick I had in the UK. And my recent videos are made in a single bay garage (much larger tho, in white walls) here in Poland where I live now.
I’ve never used clamps on a mitre saw because the rotation of the blade pulls the workpiece hard against the datum edge. I’ve always had good results without clamps but is there maybe a safety reason for using them that I don’t know about?
have the same Parkside guide clamps, i wish if they made them around 125cm of clamping capabilities instead of 100 cm so you can get away with cross cutting on plywood sheets. by the way the einhell TE-CS 18 cordless circular saw have a built in groove for that , both the parkside and einhell are around the same price range. So if anyone out there getting a new saw consider the einhell if you haven't invested in the parkside x-team battery family.

Thank you kindly 👍
This is the best DIY track saw conversion idea that I've seen so far! And I've seen dozens.
Thank you very much 😁👍
@@CasualDIY No, no, I thank you for this great idea that I'll use and I'll benefit!
Excellent work, I've seen different jigs but this is the best and simplest. Thanks for sharing this idea.
Thank you for watching 👍
Many thanks Thomas ❤
Thank you for watching 👍
Thanks! You solved what I've been thinking about for a while. And I already got all material.
Love the simplicity!
Yep me to 😁👍 why over complicate things right? 👍😁
Great idea works well. You can't get any simpler than that.

Great idea. Cheaper than buying kreg track guide
Thanks👍

Yes the T-track length may be an issue for larger jobs unfortunately
Great simple design, I think I will use my 1.2m edge clamp like you one shown at end of video.
Definitely mate, if you got it use it👍
Obrigada pelo vídeo, bem explicado lenghts here from Portugal 🇵🇹
Brilliant and simple, I know what I will be making at the weekend. Thanks mate.👍
Hehe no problem and thank you for watching 😀👍
Simple. Brilliant. Simply brilliant!
Hehe thank you👍😁
Mate I’ve been racking my brain to think of something similar but you’ve got something unique going on here, great innovation 🍻👍👍👍👍
Thank you kindly my friend 😁👍
so simple and effective! love your job!
Thank you
Going to do this! Such a simple idea! Love it!
Thanks 😁👍
Would you have to make individual jigs for different blades? Or can the same jig be used? Great idea, thanks for sharing.
if the kerf will be the same then no reason to change the jig. However if the kerf of the blade will be different then this could produce some inaccuracy.
Love all your video and can’t wait to try some projects. It would be good if you could put links to where you get your T tracks and clamps from to. Cheers
Thank you so much 😁👍
The dribble with T-tracks is that I buy them in random places when I can find them on offer. Usually Banggood or Aliexpress.
Cheers
Thank you Thomas 😊

Great video something I need to make.
Well worth making mate 👍😁
Great video and to the point. Loved it. Subscribed too. BTW what size are those toggle hold down clamps? Thanks....
Thank you kindly. Oh God can remember the exact specs for them. There were medium from the selection list lol But can't remember the specs
Hello there, every video's i see of yours it seem to have different workshop backgrounds. How many workshop you have
Hehe just two. Two years ago I have moved to a new one. So you see one single bay garage red brick I had in the UK. And my recent videos are made in a single bay garage (much larger tho, in white walls) here in Poland where I live now.
excellent 👏👏👏
Thanks 👍😁
Amazingly simple, and it clearly works! What else do you need? 👍👍Great job as usual
Thank you kindly 😁👍
Jigui de corte perfeito
I’ve never used clamps on a mitre saw because the rotation of the blade pulls the workpiece hard against the datum edge. I’ve always had good results without clamps but is there maybe a safety reason for using them that I don’t know about?
Fingers away from the blade, work piece secure. For me that's a win win scenario😁👍
have the same Parkside guide clamps, i wish if they made them around 125cm of clamping capabilities instead of 100 cm so you can get away with cross cutting on plywood sheets. by the way the einhell TE-CS 18 cordless circular saw have a built in groove for that , both the parkside and einhell are around the same price range. So if anyone out there getting a new saw consider the einhell if you haven't invested in the parkside x-team battery family.
I actually got a longer one as you mentioned but from different brand.
Why not just clamp the t track down and run the saw along it’s edge without the jig ?
As you can still slide away from the cut line
Gut łork maj frent :)
Lol dzieks
Excellent as always! Just need to know where did you get the blade? It would be great to know thx
I think I bought it on FFX
@@CasualDIY thx
Hi Tomas Why don't you use toggle clamps on the mitre saw instead of the rather fiddly type? Mike
They stick out too much👍 I would walk into them all the time 🤣
Casual DIY I meant on the diagonal tracks each side of the saw.
@@katabrontes oh yes, I only had two of them left so they went on the jig
Where did you get those toggle hold-down clamps?
Got it off Amazon mate, here's the link
amzn.to/32say2H
Nice! You could have gone with a clickbait "Make your own tracksaw for only $10!!!" title ;-)
Nah it was about $8.50 actually 🤣😂😁
Where's the t track from mate because that must be 1500mm long
Hi, got it on Banggood, they are on offer from time to time. Worth checking it out every now and again👍
Any straight, rigid material should work too.
