The best tools and jigs are the simplest in design and function. No need to over complicated things. This kerfmaker is all of that and a bag of chips. I will be using your design. Thanks for sharing.
Just gotta say, at first I didn’t understand you sled setup and why you were putting your hands through the holes. Then it dawned on me. That’s where you are supposed to put them to be able to hold onto the work piece and know that your fingers are a safe distance from the blade. Great ingenuity!
I like your use of T-Track. This Kerf measuring tool is simple and easy to make. In December, I made one for me and one for my son for Christmas. He loved it. Thanks
First of all, sorry about posting on an old video. This is elegant! It is the simplest kerfmaker I've seen. I was thinking about ordering some T-track and then it dawned on me to use a sliding dovetail. Thank you for the great video and the cool idea @I SIMPLY BUILT IT !
Must be the simplest and easiest kerf maker design I've ever seen. I can't wait to design and build my own. Beats spending $35 on one. After all, we are woodworkers, right?
Super simple and functional. All while saving gobs of money! This is the one I will build. Thanks for sharing this video. On another note, in some future video would you mind saying the words, "I'll be back."? Just for the heck of it? No reason, really...
This design is awesome. I am considering making one out of HDPE to avoid any humidity concerns. Also using a screw insert along with a little blue thread lock to keep it stable.
I think this is the best design for a kerf maker (less complicated as well). I have built and used this design and love it. I like your idea using HDPE. The only issue I had with the one I made is operator error🤣 Not paying attention to what I was doing.
Hello from Easton Maryland. Wow! I made my kerfmaker and to build together took me day and a half. Your idea is great! So simple and so precise. All your ideas and woodwork is so good. Thank you for share with us.
the hand holes are genius, and make this sled super safe to use i imagine, well done, i have watched bloody hundreds of sled vids and thats the first one i have seen, also reduces weight i imagine?
I really enjoyed your version of the kerf maker. I did make it, but have not had a chance to use it until recently. I want to give you a shout out and kudos for your kerf maker. I was able to get my dado and groove right on the money. With the screw set as an offset for the blade thickness, you can also use it to fine tune the dado or grove. Thank you for the video and inspiration!
Thanks, I like this slimline design. I have some track that is for a1/4"-20 bolts and some 3/4" oak. Just need to find me the bolt. UPDATE: Got the hardware, it works perfectly. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Thanks alot for the video and instructions Will definitely give this a try before spending $60.00 on a micro Jig kerf maker Thanks again for sharing the idea
I SIMPLY BUILT IT nachgebaut, ausprobiert, für richtig gut befunden :-) Am Nachbau Deiner neuen Sternvorrichtung arbeite ich noch... Viele Grüße aus dem Erzgebirge und guten Rutsch
Good video. I'll be making a kerfmaker just like it. Thanks for showing the actual machining at high speed. I wish/hope others will follow your good example.
Hello my friend. That's a great idea. Doing Dados and Rabbets is a difficult task at the table, trying to get in touch. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing. Huge greetings...
I like your designs. You manage to find very simple solutions to problems. Others I’ve seen are more complex and I think simple solutions are the best.
I made one like this thanks to your video and it works very good too Thank you. I do have a stupid question since I am just a beginner woodworker. How do you use this Kerfmaker on wood pieces that are longer than the width of your sled and cannot put a stop block where you need it?
Really nice design. I made one with the usual design and it works fine, but using the t-track will make for a more robust tool and looks nice. Having an offset set screw looks like it will make it easier to understand. With my previous kerfmaker, I often got confused which way to have it oriented for the first cut. But if the "bottom" always starts next to the fence, followed by rotating the bottom downward, that's an easy process to follow.
Dafür müßte ich eigentlich mehr Daumen geben können. Das ist viel einfacher zu bauen und ich glaube das er auch genauer ist. Wird auf jeden Fall nachgebaut. Danke fürs zeigen! Mach weiter so!👍
Thanks so much for this simple and accurate design. I made one today and can't wait to use it on my next project. I'm a subscriber! Update: I used your kerfmaker for the first time on a project and my dadoes were perfect, best I've ever done. Thanks again!
Thanks. www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0013LI2MS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . I bought it from Amazon.de. I don't know if it's available on Amazon.com
New subscriber here. Beautiful, elegant design. Thanks. Could you please let me know what blade you are using? It makes really clean cuts. Thanks again.
Sehr schön! Einfacher gebaut als meiner, aber vermutlich sogar genauer. Werde ich auf jeden Fall nachbauen, danke für das Video. Toll finde ich auch die Öffnungen für die Hände in deinem Schiebeschlitten. Sieht vielleicht etwas schräg aus im Video, aber der Nutzen und der Komfort erschliesst sich mir total. Gerade bei sehr repetativen Schnitten. Die Hände wissen, wo sie hingehören und man kann die Werkstücke viel bequemer fixieren, als über einen 15cm hohen Anschlag
I built both a kerfmaker abd a tenon maker (i.e. they are what's pictured in my avatar to the left of this comment), I'm very impressed by the elegant simplicity of your design, I think it's much better than even the original.
EXCELLENT!!! SIMPLE et EFFICACE. Vidéo très bien expliquée. Merci pour le partage. (chaque semaine, j'attends avec impatience votre nouveau projet)....
Very clever device, converting also be made with wood slider instead of T-track using short slot for the wing-nut screw & screw glued into the slider. IIWMI'D install the screw with glue for permanence, but that's me.
The best tools and jigs are the simplest in design and function. No need to over complicated things. This kerfmaker is all of that and a bag of chips. I will be using your design. Thanks for sharing.
This KerfMaker is simpler than those commercial and DIY solutions on the internet. And, more importantly, is intuitive to use. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.
Just gotta say, at first I didn’t understand you sled setup and why you were putting your hands through the holes. Then it dawned on me. That’s where you are supposed to put them to be able to hold onto the work piece and know that your fingers are a safe distance from the blade. Great ingenuity!
Simple, elegant, and innovative design. The hand holes in the sled fence are a great idea too. I am looking forward to watching more of your videos!
Great and easy! Congrats from Brazil.
Muchas gracias muy buena herramienta que dios le de mucha salud , desde Lima Peru
I like your use of T-Track. This Kerf measuring tool is simple and easy to make. In December, I made one for me and one for my son for Christmas. He loved it. Thanks
Very good, the easiest to do I found. Thanks.
¡Diseño simple, simple, simple!.
Gracias por compartir, ¡Internet es una hermosa herramienta!.
I have watched a few of these kerfmaker videos and yours IMO is the better of them all. Well Done. I also liked the handholes in your sled.
This is the best one yet:

Hello Sir. This was an awesome, excellent, and elaborated presentation along with magnificent idea. I loved it.
Well designed, your version requires less steps to create and is perfectly accurate. Thank you for sharing this with us!

Phenomenally simple and very accurate. Not only that but simple to build. Thanks.
Thank you
Best one video I saw. Thanks show more such video

I have used your version of the kerf maker and love it. Missing your videos. Hope all is well.
A very simple jig that is fantastic. Thank you.👍👍
Thanks. I'm glad if you like it.
Einfach genial, wollte mir schon einen kerfmaker kaufen. Hat sich mit diesem Teil erledigt thanks for this.
Very simple but very accurate.
Simple design that works well using materials on hand. I used a walnut offcut and blue T-tack, just to be extra fancy. ☺
Here's a simpler version:

Only just saw this after looking at other kerfmaker videos and this is so much easier to do. Mind = Blown. Keep up your good work.
Great way to make use of those short left over chunks of t-track

Thank you.
Great design! Well done!
only one word: amazing!!!!!!
a big thanks for this
Sehr schöne Ausführung und Erklärung. Vielen Dank 🙏 🍀
This is a really clever design using the t-track 👍😎🇦🇺
Very good jig.
Congratulations from Brazil!
Thanks
the hand holes are genius, and make this sled super safe to use i imagine, well done, i have watched bloody hundreds of sled vids and thats the first one i have seen, also reduces weight i imagine?
I agree. Those hand-holes are game changers. I will quite happily steal this idea for my sled. Thank you.
Nice version of the Kerfmaker. 👍

Best kerf maker yet. I think I'm making this one. Thanks!
Thanks. I'm glad if you like it
Simple, effective design. Going to make one. Thanks.

He visto muchos vídeos del "kerfmaker" y este modelo es el mas sencillo y preciso y fácil de manejar...,
Thanks alot for the video and instructions
Will definitely give this a try before spending $60.00 on a micro Jig kerf maker
Thanks again for sharing the idea
Clever tool. Thanks.
Shop made tools are always welcome, they help hone your skills.

Simple but great. My favourite. Thanx for sharing your ideas with us!
Dankeschön...
Thank you. I'm glad if you like it. Gern geschehen :-)
I SIMPLY BUILT IT nachgebaut, ausprobiert, für richtig gut befunden :-)
Am Nachbau Deiner neuen Sternvorrichtung arbeite ich noch...
Viele Grüße aus dem Erzgebirge und guten Rutsch
it's just different in construction but very very nice work and looks gorgeous. Well done
Einfach Spitze, das wird nachgebaut. Vorallem eine Spitzen Resteverwertung... ein Stück T-Nut Schiene hat jeder wahrscheinlich rumliegen. Danke dafür
Ich danke Dir für diesen Kommentar. Freut mich wenn es Dir gefällt.
Great design I will be building this instead of buying a kerfmaster.
Thank you for this excellent design.. I'm going to have a go at making one for myself. Cheers.
Simple to make, but works! Great narration explaining why.
Thanks
Wow...that was pretty neat!
You are amazing sir!
That is one heck of a nice Kerf Maker & probably the Best that I've watched be made on here!!!!!
Thank you so much.
Good video. I'll be making a kerfmaker just like it. Thanks for showing the actual machining at high speed. I wish/hope others will follow your good example.

Très astucieusement précis pour de petits assemblages super ajustés Bravo
Merci
Sweet! Nice work! I'm making one of those...👍👍
The best design I’ve seen! 👍🏻
I have watched a few of your videos, and I really like the way you explain things, your awsome thank you
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that
Love it thank you so simply brilliant
Dafür müßte ich eigentlich mehr Daumen geben können. Das ist viel einfacher zu bauen und ich glaube das er auch genauer ist. Wird auf jeden Fall nachgebaut. Danke fürs zeigen!
Mach weiter so!👍
Vielen Dank
Beautiful piece of work. Most enjoyable!
Thank you
Thanks for sharing this great & simple design. I had a small spare piece of T Track, but decided to 3D print the other part 👍.
I've seen a few of these on utube now, but this is by far the best. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much. I'm glad to read that.
Simple, elegant and useful. Thank you. Saved for future use, and already a subscriber.
Wow, this looks a lot more simpler than the other kermakers I have seen on TH-cam, but it is really brilliant. Thanks.
Thank you.
Thanks so much for this simple and accurate design. I made one today and can't wait to use it on my next project. I'm a subscriber!
Update: I used your kerfmaker for the first time on a project and my dadoes were perfect, best I've ever done. Thanks again!
One of the simplest versions I’ve seen. I’ll be making this one very soon!
Dito
Thank you for the compliment
Sofort nachgebaut: Einfach, genau, genial! Danke für die tolle Idee!!
Danke. freut mich.
Best vid on this tool I have found, thanks, I will make it myself and report back
Great job, well explained.
Thank you
That's brilliant.
Fantastic i was going to order one from China but will be making yours instead big thumbs up 👍
Thank. I'm glad to read that.
Off to make one of those👍😁
What a great idea!
Thanks
That's the best I've seen. And beautifully explained.
Thank you so much
What a good idea! Many thanks and.......greetings from us in Holland🌷🌷🌷
Thank you. Greetings from Switzerland
Great solution!!!... please, what kind of flat teeth blade do you use?
Thanks!
Thanks. www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0013LI2MS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . I bought it from Amazon.de. I don't know if it's available on Amazon.com
Very nice job.
Thank you
Once again... BRILLIANT!!! Very well done. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much. I'm glad if you like it.
New subscriber here. Beautiful, elegant design. Thanks. Could you please let me know what blade you are using? It makes really clean cuts. Thanks again.
Great idea, great video, thank you.
Thank you
Brilliant mate!
I like this design better than the usual one.
Thank you
Very nice. Pretty sure many of us are going to be making t-track that way too.
Thanks
This is an awesome idea! I will be making one of these! So SIMPLE. I do like how you simplify things. Great videos.
Thank you so much.
Sehr schön! Einfacher gebaut als meiner, aber vermutlich sogar genauer. Werde ich auf jeden Fall nachbauen, danke für das Video. Toll finde ich auch die Öffnungen für die Hände in deinem Schiebeschlitten. Sieht vielleicht etwas schräg aus im Video, aber der Nutzen und der Komfort erschliesst sich mir total. Gerade bei sehr repetativen Schnitten. Die Hände wissen, wo sie hingehören und man kann die Werkstücke viel bequemer fixieren, als über einen 15cm hohen Anschlag
Vielen Dank.
Congratulations
Super bravo!!
Mine get made this weekend!!!!
Pretty good job
Fantastic idea
Thanks
One piece of wood, simple and easy to adjust. I'll do it next week
Very nice. I'm going to my shop right now to make one! :)
Thanks. Yeesss!!
I built both a kerfmaker abd a tenon maker (i.e. they are what's pictured in my avatar to the left of this comment), I'm very impressed by the elegant simplicity of your design, I think it's much better than even the original.
Thank you so much.
Fantastic explanation and demonstration. Much simpler than the others I have seen on TH-cam. Any chance of plans? Subscribed!
bien vu! une conception simple et efficace (le plus dur dans les créations c'est de faire simple. bravos)
Merci
EXCELLENT!!! SIMPLE et EFFICACE.
Vidéo très bien expliquée.
Merci pour le partage.
(chaque semaine, j'attends avec impatience votre nouveau projet)....
Merci pour le compliment
Very clever device, converting also be made with wood slider instead of T-track using short slot for the wing-nut screw & screw glued into the slider. IIWMI'D install the screw with glue for permanence, but that's me.
It's designed to remain adjustable to be readjusted for other blades when necessary.
That is also possible. The benefit of the t-track is, no need to make a slot.
Brilliant! Going to make me one, thanks to you 😁
I'm glad if you like it.
