I’ve been woodworking, building and fixing for years, but I still like watching these types of “basics for beginners” videos. Maybe it’s just easy to get set in your ways, forgetting the fundamentals leading to mistakes like you mentioned cutting on the wrong side of the line. I still do that sometimes too John. I think these basics videos are just as valuable for experienced craftsmen as they are for beginners. Looking forward to more from this series.
Thanks 👍
miter saws can create some tearout, a little on the bottom side, but especially on the side facing the fence. you can create a zero-clearance insert for the bottom quite easily by using the stock insert as a template. since most cuts are at 90 and 45, creating one for the rear can be useful. you lose a bit of cutting length, but it will help if you need the best finish on the cut.
another one is increasing the cut width. my 12" miter (non-sliding) only cuts about 8" wide, but if i add a sacrificial piece underneath i can increase it to 9 1/2".
Put a mark on the waste side of your cut line... helps from cutting on the wrong side
I like the undercut on the stop block
Thanks for sharing your hard earned skills!
I got my first Single bevel, sliding, mitre saw - also a Bosch - 6 weeks ago and have built a fence and three garden gates using it. It was invaluable and I wish I’d bought one before. I had to learn all those tips in your video through a multitude of other YT channels so great for a newbie to have them all in one video.
I would be good to do a follow-up video on some more techniques in using the saw. For example, to do half lap joints using a depth gauge. Doing multi cuts etc. And offsetting the cuts using a spacer attached to the back fence to allow for the rounded cut of the blade.
Thanks for the video.
Hi John this really helps hugely I had to give up plumbing due to getting oesophageal cancer had opp to remove cancer including my stomach now got emphysema so crazy you got to laugh so I'm starting out learning to do woodworking properly I've always liked working with wood so now I just need to get good at it with your help your videos are great and really help please keep making more for beginners like me 😊. Thanks Geoff
Hi Geoff, sorry to hear of your troubles. I hope you are feeling better. It's good to hear you are getting something from the videos. Thanks for watching and for commenting.
I've just bought myself a mitre saw too ,John...Great tips!
Fantastic tips, John! Thanks a LOT! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Great solution, thx
Hi John, Excellent Video again. One for myself is setting up and using a hand plane correctly as i always struggle. All the Best.
Didn't know about the 60/30 bevel and now it makes so much sense thanks John
Glad to help
I’ve been working as a historical restoration carpenter in New England for 11 years. Love the demonstrations and explanations. Being well versed with the mitre saw, I agree with all of what you have said.
Thank you so much, John! Your explanations are so clear. I especially appreciate the explanation of the angle measurements! I finally understand miter and bevel measurements now. Thank you thank you thank you!!! :)
You are very welcome
Useful set of tips! After that just practicing making various cuts to see how your saw performs.
Looking forward to your upcoming videos. It really helps.
Only tip I would add is how easy it is to notch out using the depth stop.
loved the sneak up tip
"And I´m a gingerhaired Irishman" :D Made me laugh out loud :D Love your content mate!
😁
Just found your channel and I’m hooked. I know what I will be doing this evening…. Thanks. Andy UK
Cheers Andy
Excellent Advice. Greetings from Limerick
This is an incredibly important video for beginners, especially ones new to power tools and obviously mitre saws, a lot of the techniques relate to several other tools as well.
John really can explain things well.
Looking forward to the next instalment ! 👍🍻
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing the benefits of your experience. 👍🔨
Very welcome Sharon
Next Project for you John, Sliding sun roof for the shop to let all that heat out 😜.
Nice and informative video, looking forward to more in the series. Thanks.
thanks john top man keep up the good work and enjoy your beer.
My pleasure and thanks for the question it inspired this video!
Hello John, is there any videos of tips of tuning up the mitre saw to make it actuate 90 degrees and 45 degrees etc?? #loving the videos
I can do a video on that
Great video, thanks John
You are very welcome
I bought a beville sliding mitre saw last year and I've only just unlocked the beville on it, damn it was stiff!! Love my mitre saw, it was my favourite tool till My kids bought me a Bosch Router for mother day but then hubby bought me a Ryobi nail gun!! Great tip with the mitre angles, I hadn't realised that either.
The angles is one that caught me out!
Great tips John I wish I had something like this when I started
had to learn them the hard way
Glad you enjoyed it
OKIY seems to be your catchphrase John.
My first mitre saw is the one you have. Well technically. Bought an Evolution that blew up after two days. Then went and got the Bosch and it has been golden ever since.
Watching this now before unboxing my mitre saw and my lumber arrived this morning so off to build the planters..... this is coming from a total greenhorn... what can go wrong!! ?? :-D Thanks for the great videos John!
Recorded during Azores weather in UK and Ireland, you had weather warnings in Ireland that week John.

This may already have been mentioned, but an important tip for me is to clamp your board when cutting a mitre. If you only hold it with your hand (even firmly), the board may move during the cut giving an inaccurate result.
Subbed. nice job.
Thanks for the sub!
The first thing anyone needs to do is to “true up” the saw. All commercial mitre saws are not 100% square out of the box, and require some adjustment, and the cheaper the saw, the worse it’ll be, and the harder the adjustment. One will need shim material ranging from fractions of mm to 1mm. Also, you should tell people the proper speed of how to push the blade through the wood.
Great video John. What’s the dust tent you have found the mitre saw? Any chance of a link? Thanks
I made it from an old gazebo I have a video on it.
Great tips John! Any recommendations on a respirator for cutting/sanding? I'm building a folding picnic table (based off
April Wilkerson's design) and spent the weekend sanding and assembling the first half. I've been using a disposable mask and working outdoors but know it's not good enough so would appreciate any recommendations (of course if there's an affiliate link there's no harm there)! Cheers!
The trend stealth mask is pretty good that's what I use
I wish
I like to keep a cheap 4 inch - ??cm paint brush handy to help keep saw dust away from the stop block .
1 inch is roughly 2.5cm or 25mm so 4 inches is 10 cm or 100mm
Just watched your workbench/miter station build video. Where did you get your "saw dust curtain' for you miter saw station?
I made it from and old gazebo, have a video on it.
hi john, where can i get that cover for the mitre saw? ty rob.
sorry i meant what is it called?
Great video John, could you just clear up for me.... Was the tempreture in your shop 30 degrees or was it 60 degrees.. 😂😂
🤣
“Dual bevel, sliding, compound mitre saw “ to be precise John 🤦♂️🤣
and we must be precise!!
What's the brand name of the tent over your mitersaw?
Its just an old gazebo I cut up
John I see you got that cover for mitre saw from Halfords but what is it really for. Thats ideal for the job good man
It's an old gazebo. John did a video about it too
Yeah what Dave said Brian, its an old gazebo I repurposed
Wondering where I can find a dust hood like that here in the USA? Most of the stuff I found looks like it closes down too much on the saw itself.
I made this one myself, I used and old gazebo but an old tent will work too
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed thanks! I saw a video of another woodworker who did the same thing using an old golf umbrella that he deconstructed so kind of the same thing. I think that’s what I’ll end up doing as well.
Don't forget yer hi viz
Hello John,
a question about your capping station. Can you send me a link where I can buy this little "tent" from the Halford company. I've seen it several times now in UK videos. Unfortunately I can't find it online!

Hi, its not a little tent, its an old gazebo which I cut up and made into a cover for my mitre saw.
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed Ah... all right! Thanks!
Good video. Would have been worth covering checking your mitre saw out of the box as found my 90 deg wasn’t quite 90 deg so I spent quite a bit of time getting it square with an engineers sq. Its pretty shocking you spend money on tools whose primary function is to cut sq or angles and they’re not sq out of the box. It’s a real issue with beginner budget friendly tools for us hobby weekend wood workers
Use a Fine tooth blade - biggest difference to cut quality IMHO
