I am a retired trim carpenter and thought I knew all the tricks already. I thought wrong. Thank you for this very informative video, I learned from it. I also enjoyed your style of teaching without the silly jokes and distracting music. Thank You, for being you, and making this video.
Thanks. I read your first sentence as the video started, which told me to pay close attention.

I actually 3D printed a zero clearance insert for my Bosch. Most files can be found on shared sites for free. It has made a huge difference.
Such a terrific video packed with so much super useful information. Presentation was clear, and to the point.
Learned a lot!!! Thank you for sharing. 😊
Excellent tips! I like that you don't necessarily recommend one product but rather a concept, and suggest that the concept be adopted!
One of the best, most useful woodwork channels on TH-cam. Thanks.
This is great!
✅Useful tips
✅Clear, concise explanations
✅Demonstrations backing everything up
The air quality measurements were particularly convincing!
I have one of those ten million dollar sticks and use it all the time. Highly recommend
I nearly skipped your vdo because I still don't have a mitre saw. Now I'm glad I watched until the end. You are a such a gem, capable, clear and concise. 😊
Kudos to you.
Love your channel I am 66 and learning myself. Love your tips and work, love the hold down stick
Great tips. Thanks for the reminder that you can make, instead of buy, many shop aids. I’ve found that building shop aids also improves your skills.
Agreed!
Bonjour Marie, another great way to improve your dust collection is to add this Dust chute from Shop Nation. i have one and it works great !! Great video again !!!
Thanks for all the tips, Marie! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you! You too!
Thanks Marie, for another video with excellent tips for the workshop! For small part cutting on the chop saw, I use a long handled windshield ice scraper from the dollar store. True Canadians always have several around. Watched your videos for years, and have been a PA shopper!
Thank you, Marie, These are some great tips. Love and Respect from North London UK
4:55 That's what I was thinking when you brought up the tape earlier 😮
That’s the best ‘tip’ for mitre saw I have seen , concise, well explained and not hard on the pocket , I learned heaps from you , thank you very much 👍😊
Thanks for all the great tips Marie! I will be implementing them into my miter saw soon. Always enjoy your video's!!!
Thank you!
I really enjoyed your exceptionally brilliant tips "...on making your Mitre-Saw better..."!
Your delivery is spot on and I am grateful for your video!
Well-done!
Great tips. I have the new Flex saw. The dust collection is 70% better than any other miter saw I've used. The zero clearance tape. Oh my goodness. That would have saved me an afternoon fighting to that stupid zero clearance block in place properly. Thank you!
Great suggestion about the zero clearance tape. I also use a vacuum switch & dust collector cyclone. Both are big pluses.
Thanx, very helpful video. At least one or two things you named I hadn't done. Keep up the good work.
Good tips, thanks for the video, I ordered the 10 million dollar stick straight away.
greetings from Europe - Greece
Very timely video as I'm building a miter station today. My dust collection is going to be a bit of a challenge because under my miter station/bench is my dog run for my dogs. They're kept out of my shop with hog fence on the front of my miter station bench. I love your shroud and how you can slide it out of the way, think I'll need to implement that into mine. Also love the tip on the no clearance tape. Thanks for sharing.
The automated switches for dust collectors are a must, IMO. So much more effective than having to remember to turn on the dust collection everytime you use the tool.
Hi I'm Tim , this is the first video I have seen of yours. Good tips, that actually makes a difference!!! Timothy
An exceptional video! It is well prepared and love the air quality meter used near the end!
That was a really informative video. Essentially viewing. V impressed. Thank you
Time to upgrade my miter saw!
Excellent tips. All of these suggestions improves safety and good health. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this. Never thought of a sled for the miter saw. Great tips!!
On my saw which is the same as yours in video were totally adjustable for zero clearance. 😊
Excellent tip for the miter saw. The two I’m going to work on soon are the kerf tape and the sliding doors for dust isolation. Great job, thanks!
I find that breathing in the beautiful sawdust reduces the amount of polluted air I'm forced to breath, but I will build this, thank you x.
A Shop Nation dust boot for that saw wood be a great addition. lol
I definitely need one of those 10 million dollar sticks. I also really like that vacuum control. Good job on the video.😊
Always enjoy your videos, and your presentation style. You're an excellent teacher!
Thanks!
Thanks for the video. I would recommend, on your zero clearance jig, that you just CA glue an 1"-2" strip on the bottom side of the jig on both the right and left side flush with the plate. This allows you to just slide your jig off and on without having to fasten it to the miter saw. Works like a champ. I wished I could take credit, but I saw this on @731Woodworks TH-cam channel from a video he did about must-have jigs for the miter saw.
Practical, affordable & very helpful tips!
All are great suggestions. Since you are much younger than most woodworkers - 1/3 my age - if you can afford it buy a rolling miter saw stand to help with the old back. I bought the Bosch stand which is way more expensive than yours though. Miter saws can be dangerous so do all you can.
I love the sled jig! It solves both the zero-clearance issue while also stability. I think I would also make another one with bevels
When cutting small or thin moulding, while your updated fence is perfect, in a pinch, pun, I would use a sacrificial piece behind the moulding to allow more of the saw contact rather than back of saw which tends to throw the piece. Love the shopvac setup.
Wow, these are all awesome ideas and presented in a very clear, concise way. I rarely comment but just had to tell you that. Definitely a fan!
As usual, super helpful info., Marie. Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge. I also really appreciate your no-nonsense and efficient video production (while still being “entertaining”). I always look forward to your releases.
I 3D printed a hold-down stick Work great!
That is awesome!
learned a lot from this video. Thanks for a great job!
You are such an inspiration to me. Thank you for the great, concise tips!! Love your videos!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for another great vid Marie. And for adding the links. I've never seen Zero clearance tape before! It's next on my list.
Thank You for a great tutorial. I will take it all in and do the improvements. Take care and thank you again. 😉
Some great ideas thank you for sharing
Great tips I’m using them now. Thanks for the info. Love watching your show.
LOL, well done basics. You're very good at this.
All your videos are appreciated! nice job: clear, concise, safety oriented, practical!
Great video! These tips are very useful and I like that you have simple and unique solutions. I learned more than I thought I would. 😃 Thanks for sharing these tips. I plan on using some of these in my shop right away. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏼
Great tips, Marie.
Bill
Very useful tips! You make great videos. Thank you!
Thanks for the concise video - I've been using the zero clearance tape, but I'm going to be building the table and dust hood as well.
I'd like to point out that tear out can be further reduced by slowing the cut and not lifting the saw until it comes to a complete stop.
Absolutely. Great tips.
Great tips. The only one that I would add, as I found it useful, is the raise up the miter saw above the table about 1 1/2 inches (a 2x4) so that you can vacuum under the saw when necessary.
I just wish my Bosch would stay square! Ive made adjustment after adjustment and it seems fine for the first few cuts then seems to go out after that. Ive followed their directions using 2 or 3 different squares, digital angle reader and all are good at first. I had to rip down a 15" 1x10 for a sign and within those 15" it was off a fat 1/16th.
Very professional video! Learned a lot.
Great video. Great ideas explained in a straight easy to follow way. Thank you.👍
Good video. Thank you for the phrase- "That sucks, and not in a good way." I think it is about time that the process of applying negative pressure be celebrated and not maligned and associated as bad as it has always been. I fully intend to add that "and not in a good way" suffix every time I hear someone say "that sucks", which in my shop is about 100 times a day since some of my employees can be idiots. (over and over and over, ugh)
This sounds like I am kidding but in fact I am serious since that damaging phrase has annoyed me for many decades. Cool saw tips, will check out your other videos.
BTW- when chop saws came out we started using old drapes around ours to help contain the dust. We had used some of that on our big radial arm saws and the difference was HUGE. Yes I have been in the business over 40 yrs and just got around to watching youtube stuff.
I always waching your videos and especially your youtube videos abouts Laser Engraver and Cutter, and I really learn a lot from you. I'm so sorry if only this time I subscibe from your video, Your videos really very informative and help a lot of people from the Philippines.
No worries! Glad you enjoy the videos.
That vac switch box, love the idea but I like to keep my Bosch (15amps) and my Rigid Vac (12amps) on two different circuits, I wish they made one to do this lol
That’s what that wishbone stick is for!
Didn’t think about doing a zero clearance jig. I did add a back support board after adding the yellow tape.
Loved your tips, thank you!
Una belleza de sierra pero con la falta de trabajo que casi no hay toca buscar una económica nomas, me gusto mucho los tips , saludos

That was very informative . Thank you . Julien
Great tips, thank you!
Great tips Thanks for sharing
Great video!
Excellent Video! I will look into the iVac switch!
Very good points on supporting one’s work, but @ 06:42 DON’T lift up until blade has stopped! This is a pet peeve of mine, and I get pushback ( no pun ) from a lot of people. I have used miter saws for over 20 years, and having small pieces fly out when lifting the head with the blade either coasting down, or even running, is not safe. I get it that this can add extra time to the work process, but at the cost of a bad injury? Stay safe! 👍
Great tips thank you.
Excellent!! Thank you!
Great video! Your older vids are good too 😊
Thanks! 😄
Thanks So informative
Recommendation on the Zero clearance tape & the hold down stick was worth the price of admission.
I applied the zero clearance tape today and it makes a BIG difference. The tape is super sticky and when you cut the kerf, that yellow sticky tape sawdust is a bit of a chore to clean up.
You might want to consider full kerf blades. I know the thin kerf blades use less ]over but can get alittle squirrely, especially when they get hot or your miter cutting a hard moulding. Nice clean shop!
Solid content.... Much appreciated
Thanks!
Great tips. Thanks for sharing.
