Thank you very much for his great idea and tutorial. Your system eliminates the need to walk around and avoid ‘attached’ arms (to the rail) whilst cutting with the track saw. Much easier. And I noticed the screw eyes in the end for hanging onto a hook when storing. Overall a brilliant and very simple solution. Like the say; Keep It Successfully Simple - the ‘KISS’ approach is always best.
LOL! You just cracked the one thing that's made me hold out on building or buying parallell rip guides, the thing that makes the table saw still worth having - not having to sync/calibrate TWO sticks! Slave/master, genious!
On that point; there's arguments to made that it's detrimental to have a scale on the slave, when actual measurement is irrelevant, only that it's identical to the master. The only thing missing now is for the industry to realized 1) this. 2) That their guides really should try to reference the same ridge the saw is referencing. Not the possibly bumpy edge.
Brilliant, so many expensive jigs out there. Not a lot of them reference using the jig to cut the waste side for use. I really like the second jig because I am getting ready to tackle a french cleat wall project. I must say, I have a tiny shop if you could call it that and my table saw is Shopsmith Mark-V plus a tiny bandsaw. This will be a game changer when I finish making the jigs. Thank you sir!
Brilliant, and brilliantly simple too. I know what a certain tracksaw manufacturer charges for a jig that does exactly the same thing - it's rather a lot!
Actually, I went round a certain factory once and showed my idea to one of the directors. A year later they had a setting gauge on the market, for silly money. Fancier than mine, but working on exactly the same principle. Just sayin'.

Love it Steve. Thanks for sharing with us kind Sir.

I got a WEN track saw last week. It is a game changer for me. This is quite a timely video.

These are very useful jigs. Thank you very much!
I add a wood screw in the end of my jig where it bumps the track for fine adjustment.
That's a good idea.
I’m very lazy. Can I buy one of these? Great idea
I'm glad you like it. But although it is easy to make, it's not a ten minute job, either, so I'm sorry, but you'll have to make your own! :)
@@SteveMaskery simple to manufacture- you should patient and sell !! At least I don’t think that this is already on the market?
