Another thing that helps prevent the saw blade from moving the wood is to use a correct miter blade with between -5 degrees to +5 degrees rake to stop blade grab. Most table saw blades are like 15 degrees. In fact some blades even mark for miter use are 15 degrees.
Hi Dave! That's a pure genious solution. Is there any chance to use a jig like this to make smal rip cuts on a miter saw? I have read for instance that rip cuts on a miter saw is not safe, so I'm confused... Greetings from Brazil, thanks.
Thanks for the compliment. Generally whenever I need to make a rip cut on a small piece I use a bandsaw. I think I could make a modified version of my miter saw jig to allow safe ripping of small stock. The wood will have to be anchored so the blade rotation can't lift the piece of wood. Will look into it. Thanks for the idea.
I believe I have the same tabke saw as you, the ridgid r4512. I was wondering what or where did you get your 0 clearance insert?? Also how is your fence mine never seems to stay square
Another cracking video👍👏👏👏😃
I agree that this is a bit time consuming and takes special tools and bits. For one who loves to just build because it's fun this is a very nice jig.
Beautiful. Really useful and innovative. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Love the idea. I plan to build one this afternoon.
Saludos desde Ecuador excelente video, gracias por compartir sus experiencias máster bendiciones
Great informative video !, I enjoyed every second of it. Thank you very much for sharing this awesome idea.
Great job Dave. Very useful tool.
Excellent teaching demo, well done and safety first I’m a qualified trainer and would have done the demo in the same like.
Thank you for the compliment!
when you put the two blocks together with the glue sprinkle some salt in, it stops the blocks sliding about,
Have you ever heard of a rub joint? No salt needed, it causes high wood pressure.
Good idea and nice demonstration but unfortunately made with special router table, jointer, and planer none of which I have in my beginner shop.
Liked the idea for safety .... thank you :)
Really interesting and helpful. Thanks
That is it great Sir.well done I love it going to make one of those things.👍
Nice video, I like how you describe a great many safety features
exactly what I was looking for thanks!
You are very welcome.
Any thoughts on a jig for miter cuts?
Great idea
A brilliant idea, Thanks for sharing
Awesome jig, thanks for the video!

Demetrius Giovanni Soares miter saws are for crosscut ONLY. Use a bandsaw or a table saw for any rip cuts. Stay safe
Excelente muy buen video, muchas gracias...
good jig Dave
i liked your video. just what i wonted to know
Thanks for a good idea. Alternate: Fastcap's "Ten Million Dollar Stick" --- about $10
Looks pretty safe and easy to use. My only hesitation is you loose the tear out protecton of a zero clearance fence & insert
I use a Freud Diablo blade on my saw and if you look closely after my cuts there is no tear out.

+Art Connolly I purchased the zero clearance insert from Woodcraft. It costs $27. Well worth the price.

thank you
dave what size was the keyhole bit you used
I used a Whiteside Bit #3053. The wider cutter at the end is 1/2" while the smaller cutter on the shaft is 5/16"
It's ok
