Top tip: When you fit the first aluminium track, fit it about 1" further in than you need, then run your saw down it and it will cut the working edge perfectly parallel; no measuring = no room for error. 😃
Also thought that might be an idea. Another improvement (although much harder to do, I guess) would be to cut the jig width slightly undersize and put a strip of the self-adhesive splinter guard on there. As used on track saws.
Also, instead of making it so big on the off cut side, you can add another L bracket and make it for your router for grooves, dadoes, and rabits. You can use the side you don't need for clamping it to your workpiece. Or you could make it for your jigsaw. Two jigs in one.
My wife is a biologist/trainer who designs online training for US Govt biologists. I got her to watch this video and she said you tick ALL the boxes. Entertaining, informative, detailed without being overly so. In short, 10 out of 10! Said it was a GREAT example of online teaching. Oh, and I made my SC1000 this evening!!! Thanks rippa!
G'day PC 👍 Thanks so much for that comment mate...l really appreciate it! Well done on the SC1000....Hope it serves you well for many years to come 👍 Have a great weekend 👍🇦🇺😁
Best saw guide yet! The music goes so well with the vid too. Not too loud, not too lairy. The end product is better than the shop-bought aluminium ones.
Nice jig! Additional tip: Before you screw the aluminum track to the wood, use a smooth file to ease the sharp edges on both ends of the tracks. You'll save yourself from leaking the valuable red stuff all over your shop. Cheers!
I appreciate the fact that you use a big old circular saw like a lot of us, as opposed to the fancy cordless models you see in lots of videos. Between this and your CSG 1000, I’m starting to think I don’t need to get a table saw-which is making me happy.
Thank you very much for your wonderfully entertaining training sessions which are entirely practical and relevant to the beginner. So many things that you think will be easy for the first time turn into a spaghetti of wrong turnings and misadventures that do leave you thinking that you are a knucklehead. But there is hope yet and you are definitely shining the light
I work in signage and was looking at buying a track saw to cut ACM panels. Now I don't have to!! I can make one of these bad boys!! Thanks Uncle Knackers!!
I’d been using a very subpar DIY cutting guide for the last few years. Just built yours and it’s a real game changer! Pretty fun to make too as I’ve never worked with metal. Many thanks!
@@diyforknuckleheads i think its kind of funny you using your tool that came with your saw to cut straight lines to make another tool to cut straight lines lol
Love the project, Shane! Might I add three tips/additions? 1. Before using the SC1000 on a board for the first time, run the saw through once with no stock underneath. That way, in case your jig isn't exact to your blade, this will cut off any excess so it won't transfer the error to your first cut. 2. Attaching something to the underside of the jig so there's less chance of it sliding while making cuts. Something like sandpaper, grip tape, or foam padding. Something thin enough your saw's baseplate won't slip under you jig. 3. Add some furniture wax to the guide. Less friction for your saw, and lessens the marring of your jig.
All great tips there M.H 👍👍. I was looking for some of that grippy stuff to go under it but couldn't find any where l live.....some of the drawbacks of living in a rural setting l guess. Thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺
I wish I would have found a saw like this years ago! It does everything that we have asked of it so far. Works great th-cam.com/users/postUgkxjpBI8OOeUXib_iT7UomCrQ-uauwZJ62c on cutting composite siding and plywood sheathing. I probably would not try to use it all day cutting 2X boards, but it's just the right size to throw in a job bag vs. your conventional heavy circular saw. Operating instructions very clear. Came package well. I would definitely recommend you buy this for a friend!
The SC1000 saved me so much time. Love it and love the name too. I appreciate you jazzing it up, I didnt have time to do that but will do at another time. Also I prefer 4” for the cut out. Thank you for your not only a very useful jig but a very entertaining instructional, I purchased a cutting guide a few years ago for those straight cuts with a circular saw but this jig is way better and far more accurate.
Thanks a million for this video. I finished my own SC1000 today and it is perfectly accurate. Btw your presentation is so excellent, I watched the video twice and then went on to make it without having written down a single thing. Looking forward to more. Regards.
Just built my own S.C. 1000 it's fantastic. Thank you Uncle for helping this Knucklehead. Please, keep up the Informative, Instructional and entertaining videos as I hope to learn a lot from you as I begin my journey in woodworking.
Great video ! I've been doing a lot of circular saw cutting recently. Using a combination square to get offset of blade to edge of base while using a long straight edge clamped to project. This would have saved me so much time!! Thanks for another informative video. Now going to circular saw vid
I love the fact that you edit "what not to do" in your videos! THAT IS SO ME! Little comedy relief along with very serious and to the point safety tips! Keep you the great videos!
Wow. What a video. easy and simple and economical way to make cross cuts. out of all the cross cut circular jig videos i have seen out there, i am most inclined towards building this jig. this video goes into my "woodworking must" playlist and you have earned another subscriber. keep up the great work.
Hi knackers...lol,I made this cutting guide this morning after watching your video last night and I have to say it's the best one I've had so far as I have made a few cruder ones in the past but this one is Bob on I'm chuffed with it thanks for sharing your knowledge best regards from the UK, thankyou uncle.
My daughter when she was 2, woke me up at 6am (after I had worked a 12 hour shift and had gone to bed at 2am) with a tomahawk chop to my teeth with an iPhone 5. She chipped my front tooth and solidified why I love her so much 🤣
Only thing I would do differently is set that long angle piece back 1/4", then your first pass sets your zero against the blade much like setting up the splinter guard on.a track saw
Good point, but then you run a risk of losing your 90 degree factory corner, which is kinda the whole point of the jig. Don't get me wrong, you're absolutely right about the perfect saw line calibration, but for the weekend hobbyist this solution might give the best results with the least fuss.
@@TheLastPharm but the accuracy of the cut angle is already limited by how well you've fitted the guide rail. If that's not perfect, the factory edge isn't going to help. If I was to make this, I'd use a framing square to set the angle of the guide rail rather than trusting to pencil marks against the base plate of the saw.
Yeah Philip....as soon as l said it l knew it didn't sound quiiiiitttteeee right 🤔🤔 Think l need a new Joke writer mate 😂.....Thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Hey Mate, love the video! I've been dabbling in woodworking for the past few years but just never got the hang of getting that straight circular saw cut. Very helpful video. Unfortunately in my locale the plywood cutting machine must be on the fritz because at our local Home depot I'm not sure any of the plywood actually has 4 straight edges.
@@diyforknuckleheads 1:15 yep, I wasn’t watching the video at the time and rewind that to see if there was a look or wink 🤣🤣🤣. Also nice comment that 7 inches is small 😏🤣🤣
I’m usually ‘up the creek in a barbwire canoe, with no paddle’. Thanks uncle knackers for sharing your skills, it’s on my build list as soon as the weather gets better, round about March.
Brilliant! I’ve seen some videos where the aluminum guide was mounted on the plywood a bit wider than the width of the circular saw. The excess was then cut off by running the saw along the guide. This makes sure that the aluminum guide and the track edge are exactly parallel. Your second short piece of aluminum is novel and squares everything up! I will definitely incorporate your idea into my track saw guide.
As a Canadian, I can confirm that the term is " up the creek without a paddle ". Immigration to Canada at one time depended on having sex in a canoe and losing a paddle during the process was an automatic failure. I believe they also removed moose calling and bear wrestling during that revision of the Immigration Act.
Howzit Uncle Knacks, Paul here from SA. Planning on fitting out a camper truck & have too (budget) build all the internal joinery/ cabinets etc. myself, my carpentry skills are limited. Will mainly be working with ply sheeting, researching the tools I might need, table saw, track saw, mitre saw & circular saw, I could easily spend R45k/😬, not in my budget. I bought the circular saw (a decent Bosch) & made this plus 2x your straight cut jigs, can now do everything I need & it cost less than R3k!!! 🙂😉Thanks mate!
Whilst the jig I built for my circular saw is not as fancy as yours (mine is just some hardboard and a strip of pine), the idea to make a jig came just in time for my recent project (building a sim rig for racing games). I had never been able to cut particularly straight with my circular until I built this jig - what a HUGE difference. I used quite thin hardboard for the base as I had some cuts where holding and clamping was going to be difficult. The thin hardboard allows me to staple the jig into place before making the cut. Thanks for the great tips!
Hey Uncle, After I built this jig my neighbor told me I cut really square. At first I thought he was making fun of me, like I was a nerdy square. But, a couple days later I realized he actually was talking about the cuts in my plywood. Wow, my jokes are getting to be as bad as yours. But, seriously, I love your channel. I just recently discovered it. I hope you're still making videos. Thank you.
Thanks for this. I will try to make it tomorrow. Just today I was trying to make a straight cut on my circular and was going crazy and then this video popped up in my feed.
Michael....you may need to go to our local hardware store or metal merchant.....Just remember that ou need to get the lowest profile you can otherwise the motor of the saw will hit it. Good luck 👍

Whilst the jig I built for my circular saw is not as fancy as yours (mine is just some hardboard and a strip of pine), the idea to make a jig came just in time for my recent project (building a sim rig for racing games). I had never been able to cut particularly straight with my circular until I built this jig - what a HUGE difference. I used quite thin hardboard for the base as I had some cuts where holding and clamping was going to be difficult. The thin hardboard allows me to staple the jig into place before making the cut.
