- How to make an Equilateral triangle, is a triangle in which all three sides are equal and the corners 60 °
I found no explanation of how this could be achieved on the table saw, so when i figured it out i thought i could share the technique with you all.
The triangles are for a couple of geometry themed videoes coming up soon.
I also got an Amazon affiliate link, and that is super cool.
So press the link below if you are going to buy anything :D

OMG! You are my hero for the day! Thank you for sharing that! I just couldn't figure out the 2nd cut, and was going to make a fixed jig, but I am so glad I checked Tube 1st!
Haha :D i googled like crazy myself before i found out, thats why i posted that video :D
I found your video about 2 days too late, but early enough for my next project! I don't know why, but I've never thought about using a straight edge in that way!
hehe, sry for that :D blame youtube...
and hehe again, the straight edge trick is maybe not the best way of doing it, but it works. What did you make btw?
@@FlokrollProjects I made a hexagonal mahogany box, and constructed the top out of 6 triangles. I think next time, though, I'll use your trick to make a template, then just cut the triangles out roughly and use the template on the router table to refine them.
Half way to a hundred subs! congratz!
Thnx dude :D
Awesome video; clear and engaging
thank you :D more to come in this series in the future :D
ótimo
nice, I like :)
Thank-you for posting!
Tahnk you for liking the video :D
Good job but that finger move at 1:17 got me goosebumps. That the easiest way to lose your finger. Stay safe and don’t rush.
Aye, a bit scary, you never know if the blade is gonna catch, had a the blade fairly low, but again you never know. Staying more safe nowadays :D Thnks for the comment and the viewing :D
Cool method. Whats the correct edge bevel if a seamless edge is desired?
54.75°
awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
Master
:D you aswell
Did you have to bevel at all or did you cut each angle at 30 degrees?
Cut at 30degrees with when saw blade at 90
Forgive me, for I am not mechanically inclined. But what is happening between 0:36 & 0:58? Why did the fence need to be pulled back? What is being pointed at?
The straight-edge scrap piece he put on top of the workpiece is resting against the right side of the saw blade. he aligns the workpiece up with this straight edge to ensure that the cut he makes doesn't cut the triangle short. The fence is then brought up to the point of the triangle to act as a stop so he can make repeatable cuts at the same size. he pulled the fence back to avoid the off cut triangle from being wedged in between the blade and the fence and potentially chew up the workpiece or have the workpiece become a projectile
He pulls the fence back so he can use it as a dimensioning guide, but when the piece moves past the blade it won’t get trapped between the blade and fence and possibly come shooting back at high velocity. It’s a safety thing. You can replicate on a standard fence by clamping a flat board to the fence, just shy of the beginning of the blade.
yes, thank you ( i will start with voice over for these kind of videoes ) :D
@@FlokrollProjects thanks, i need to understand what is going on since i am new at this and the tapping just made me nervous :)
While I had success by watching this video, I still don't know how to calculate sizing. I made my first square cut at 8 5/8 which gave me 10" on all 3 sides.
Hmmm, yeah it is a bit of guesswork, i might be making a new one where you can decide this in advance, Thank you for watching
I was looking more for triangular strips
Hmm, okay, i can try and make some
@@FlokrollProjects cool. Curious how to do it.....safely
