      Looks like it will be far better than any of the wobbly miter saws, great build.

      I think it's a great idea/prototype John! Love the innovation, keep it up

      I enjoyed hearing your talk on your web page too. I can see that you did plenty of thinking on the go. I also understand that sometimes this is a better way than trying to draw a plan from scratch. Well done and presented!

      Very talented man. Great to see someone who can use their hands and make fantastic thing's. Well done to you Sir. I love doing wood work. I've just started to build my own table saw after watching your videos. I've been making things out of wood for many years but never got round to having or building a table saw. Love your work. Top man 👍👍👍

    The reason why this channel is so good is because it shows that fabricaing, making etc. is a process and we're always shown that process. Ideas, concepts, iterations, attempts....mistakes...all important to get the thing right.
    Cheers and Thank You Legend

    Having the pivot offset instead of over the miter slot is a clever innovation. Well done John.

    No need to explain why you are still nr. 1. I find this a fantastic idea with great potential and guess it Will get a lot of use. You can trow out the mitersaw and cabinet, LOL.
    On the article you say it's quickly put together and you could refine it , but even so you always make the ' throw together' projects crips and clean and it always looks professional , great and relaxing video to watch , well done !👌👍😉

  • @joecnc3341
    @joecnc3341 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice work and thanks for sharing. I think the key to the whole project is getting a backlash free pivot point so that you don't always have error.

    The offset stud on the Starboard insert is smart and novel thinking. Took me a few to figure out why then it came together. Always interesting John.....

  • @krtwood
    @krtwood 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very nice. You could perhaps add a right angle attachment (either replacing the sliding fence or attaching on to the back) to get the function of a miter sled that cuts complementary angles. Might be a little awkward if the sled base on the right side isn't attached to the rest of the sled.

  • @AbdicateDotNet

    That integrated protractor is such a clever idea, and using the router as a compass is smart. I love the way watching your videos breaks me out of default woodworking thinking.

    This project was SO different than most of your projects.
    Most of your projects are smart and simple.
    This one was smart, beautiful, extremely accurate, amazingly impressive.
    My tool selection today is more or less the same as yours, but your abilities are FAR superior than mine.

    Just when I think you cant possibly top your last project.. you top it. You have some brilliant ideas in this project. I have always thought that wood and metal workers are some of the most creative and adaptive thinkers and you're even at the head of the class in this group. I see some ideas here that could be used in shop built miter saw too : ) I''m going to continue my theory that you're working your way through the issues in order to build your own miter saw. (Or something else most people would figure couldn't be hand built). Genius man.

  • @dervorrichtungsbauer
    @dervorrichtungsbauer 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great. Thanks for sharing. But what about the rotation of your drill press? Looks like running in curves in the video. Difficult to work really accurate with this maschine 😉

  • @cschlater
    @cschlater 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice build!
    Can I sugest that you scribe a thin reference line on the board, showing the correct position of the fence, next time you fine adjust the fence on the pivot? That way you´ll notice immediately, only by a look, if the fence should have moved on the pivot even the slightest. You can scribe the reference line in any angle you want to, as long as it goes between the pivot and the scale.

  • @AsWoodTurns
    @AsWoodTurns 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I like the whole concept. I can appreciate the rabbets on the sides to provide the lockdown. Too often on a particular commercial sled that I've used, the lock is a bolt that eventually pulls thru the MDF base. The tongue and the ply base should do a better job. I would think that maximizing the radius of the gauge markings could provide an additional degree of accuracy without any significant sacrifice.
    Thank you

    Nice one John! Your followers have made some good positive comments, which are thoroughly deserved. You have obviously given your design plenty of thought, and it seems that you have a mind to make further improvements. By the way, I do like to hear you talk as you go, but this silent visual instruction works well too, because of your good camera technique. Thank you for sharing your great ideas and work.

  • @metalhed2
    @metalhed2 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    i like it. I'd buy the plans when you're done designing it. if you could incorporate some common stops, that would be awesome. maybe small studs?

    • @JohnHeisz
      @JohnHeisz  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The extra large size of the scale makes it easy to accurately line up the fence by eye.

    My dear Sir, you have the mind of an engineer. This is beyond just mere woodworking. My deepest respects. I believe that to obtain precision with small to medium sized machines one has to be very inventive. Very nice project. Do you have any formula (or reason) for the wooden pyramid? If mitring at 45° the four triangles don't "close"- you have to undercut to at least 46°30'. Curious, eh? A good day to you Sir. Long live wood and Beauty.

    Excellent addition to your Easy Angle Cutting Guide. I like the build article, however, printing it also includes all the ads and uses extra paper. Have you/would you consider making build articles downloadable as PDFs? I intent to try this a s an alternative to the turners Wedgie Sled for segments. It offers some possibilities.

    @bwibwiales 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hello from one year too late :)
    Could you make tests cuts to prove the accuracy ?
    Like a picture frame with eight 45° angles, or a hexagon with twelve 30° angles.
    I'm afraid this sled is inherently flawed because the fine adjustment moves the line (against which the piece is held) away from the pivot point, rendering the paper angle scale useless.
    It's a bit like when using a plastic protractor, you need to make sure to put the zero at the intersection of the two lines otherwise the whole thing doesn't work.
