We are moving shops and I needed a unique solution for a project that cut down on the amount of tools I had to cart back and forth. I came up with this track saw that can do everything that a chop saw, a track saw and a crosscut sled can do at just about any angle! It can do rip and cross cuts from 45-90 degrees.

I don't know why I find it so heartwarming that Jonathan Katz-Moses and Tamar are promoting each other's products, but it's kind of adorable ❤️
Woot! I love sleds that don’t need snow.
Been teaching carpentry to neighborhood kids that otherwise end up working at fast food joints. All of them are great carpenter helpers now.
Thank you and great job! I’d love to have been one of those kids. Hope they make the most of it.
My favorite part of a Sunday morning!
Fantastic work! Great idea! and for those without a track saw, this is awesome solution! Well done sir! .... And keep up the awesome work, great things from you and the whole team!
Thank you!!!
This is fantastic. I see so many guys using the tracks but , some can get pretty expensive. all they do is cut straight.
You have a great idea for the most used angles. Thank you.
Congrats on the move! I have a number of your products, aprons (just great), stops etc. You deserve the success. This is a great jig for anyone not having a track saw. I made something similar years ago for a job but very crude compared to yours. Keep up the great work. Your channel is on my "must see" list.
Great build! I need this just as much as Tamar's router jig
Nice project John.
Thanks for sharing.
Great job kat, can't say I've seen this anywhere else off hand
Brilliant, Jonathan! Fantastic work! 😃
Pretty impressive jig indeed!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Awesome man. Congratulations on the new shop.
I tried my hardest to try every version of a homemade track saw. I then jumped into the Kreg offerings. Never really being happy with those solutions, I just admitted that if I wanted track saw precision and function, I needed to buy an actual track saw. Hello Festool. Best money I ever spent.
I got by for years with on of these. A track saw us definitely a great upgrade
I thought I’d come to the same realization and got the makita. Way better than any jig I’d made but it’s not what it’s cracked up to be. Really wish I’d spend the extra coin on the festool
I mean, one of Kregs offering is a track saw lol
@@vexxxgaming7303 they do, but I was talking about the Accu-Cut and Rip Cut systems.
Agree, I regret a few things in life, but buying the cordless Festool tracksaw is not one of them. Awesome tool. Ended up buying the HKC 85 as well, to rip some really thick hardwood. Turned out to be great for many other things too.
That’s a pretty neat idea. I I like the versatility. You could definitely put off the tracksaw purchase for a while with that, but in my opinion nothing beats the real deal. Love my makita.
Props to you on the move and also on a video without bandaids on fingers!
Absolutely genius 👏!
Another new shop! Think I found you when you recently moved into this one. Nice work!
I saw you point at the camera for a keep your mind out of the gutter and you cut it out! Haha sad face. Those are hilarious!
Nice build.
That is very cool!
Dang!!! That can "almost" replace my Radial Arm Saw! Already on my to-do list. But I think I will have to replace my old HF circular saw to go with this track.
Wow! You, Tamar, Marc and Rex all moving shop at the same time. I'm sure the move will go smoothly, as It will be well-planned.
I’m just waiting for Stumpy Nubs to move now
@@adamstewart5013 stumpy only moved like 2.5 years ago I can't see him going again. My vote is Drew Fisher
Awesome series keep it up
Love this.
Love the homage to 3x3: using the 3x3 router plate to make a jig.
Cool! I was too cheap to buy a track saw so I made a similar jig for my circular saw.
I normally am anti t-track and hold downs - seems like a lot of doo dads that I won't use, but your design really makes sense. Well done. Thanks.
cool idea!!
That’s amazing
Looks like you started at the miter saw…
😜
Awesome jig / tool!
Another way to solve the knobs vs. saw issue for that short fence would be to make it out of a wider 3/4" plywood panel instead of a stick. Or a 3/4" panel with another narrow strip added to the top if you really want the height. Then the knobs can be set further back for clearance.
Speaking of knobs, I really like the small, round Powertec QNB3004 knobs for jigs because they are nice and small. They are hard to find and Bezos has them overpriced on his website. The only other place I can find them is Lee Valley where you get a few in a massive kit but then the rest is just star knobs and bigger stuff. If you can find a way to sell those round buggers for a decent price, it's a winner for your store.
Lot more versatile than my latest jig with the bottom side t track.
Exciting new shop! Maybe room for a new shaper, and the videos that go with one?
This is pretty cool, +1 for thinking about a swiss knife jig. Few ideas, I'm interested what you think: Have you thought about having 45deg bevel cut edge on the other side of the top rail? A stop-fence for repeated cross-cuts? Parallel guide attachments on the top rail?
Will you post plans for this build on your website? Thanks.

It's Jimmy Kimmel wearing glasses. Even the voice is the same.
Nah man. Jimmy is the Katz Moses of talk shows
Nice!
Game changer.
Having a track saw, im still going to make this. Much more versatile than just the tracks. If you can get it all parallel you have a jointer jig too!
Ooooh good idea!
@@katzmosestools only because i dont have the room for a jointer... i use a jointer jig that looks very similar. I cant take credit for it!!
1:42 I like your Sawstop.
Nicely done! Been using a somewhat similar design (not as versatile) for 30+ years that an old furniture maker showed me and it still works great.
At 7:18 you mention the knobs are in the way of the saw motor. Why not turn it around and cut from the other side?
more chance of the saw tipping, there is less on the narrow side of the sawbase to support the saw
New sub and just bought your KM-17
Is there a build video for that vise? Guessing it's pretty much the same as the moxon bench you did?
Very nice design!
A new shop? :0 Congratz Jonathan, that is sick! :D
Btw, where is my shop care package you once wanted to send me? :p
Wow is there any woodworker I follow not moving this summer??
Someone gave me a 2 piece 100” cutting guide which I quickly found out flexed at the splice. I repurposed them into fences for rip guides based on 1/4 luan plywood. I think your asking one jig to do to much. The set up for cross cuts is too fussy. I make separate dedicated crosscut guides also based on Luan. I also made 45 degree crosscut jigs for left and right cut saws for cutting birdsmouths on a garage with 12/12 pitch. They were the most precise rafters I ever made. I never glue the fence on as I want to periodically move the fence and freshen the edge. If the base is thick you lose depth of cut. If the fence is thick you have to raise the motor giving up even more depth. I have a crosscut jig that right cuts with corded Makita and left cuts with cordless Ryobi on the other side.
Do you have plans for this jig?
Which youtube creator is not moving?
I was like how the f&$k is that going to work. Then as you cut the boards down I was damn that’s awesome
Seems like a simple build but did not see plans for the track saw? Enjoy these projects and good luck with the new shop!
No plans for this one yet. Finished this on Friday afternoon
@@katzmosestools well let us know when the plan is out, no reason to reinvent the wheel. This basically turns the miter station fence upside down w/fence setup on top instead of under, great for most uses except long repeat cuts, but that just takes a long version
Saludos , una pregunta esa sierra inalambrica corta melaminico sin despostillar porque no hay hojas de sierra con mas dientes que la que viene con la misma máquina a local menos aquí no hay
Probably a noob question, but what is in the mason jar at 6:20.? It looks like oil with a solid in the jar. It reminds me of honey in a jar with a honeycomb. Also, I just received my jig and flip stops. Thanks!
It's shellac that has a stuck lid hahaha
I have an 8 x 48 x 3/4 plywood cutoff for the base, but none for the rip fence. Therefore, my variation will use a 48" Universal T-Track as the rip fence (screwed on top of the base, vs. inset in a dado). Scrap-on-hand costs less than T-Track, but I have no more, and T-Track costs less than buying more plywood. The wide side will be trimmed for my circular saw (4-5/8); the narrow side trimmed for my jigsaw (1-3/8). I'll add the bottom bench hook immediately, and the bottom dados & T-Track later. If my experiment performs poorly, I'll bite the bullet, buy a Qtr. Sheet of plywood, and revert to your 2-layer design.
This one needs a set of plans!
Is the new shop in SB?
I like it. I like what it does. I’ll probably make one. But it-is-what-it-is...a guide. With more “guiding” functions than most other skilsaw guides. But I don’t see the saw “guided” by a track...so, not a “tracked saw guide”. Did miss it?
9:44 Is that safe to have your free hand so close to the spinning circular saw blade?
I’ve seen a lot of UA-cam videos of carpenters explain that they lost their fingers using circular saw when their freehand was either holding the workpiece, or next to the blade like here at 9:44. And these were woodworkers who had worked 20 years before losing fingers. *I just want the best for you cause you’re such a cool guy* 👍 🖐
Since I was only skim cutting and I had to hold the guard up I felt pretty confident. I wouldn't honey my hand there normally
Ha ha. If the bolts are in the way of the saw motor, just cut from the other side.😀
But. You do you.
Isn’t maple prone to move a lot? I know mine can’t be trusted! I prefer white oak for jigs, way more stable
Maple is very stable for me but I guess picking straight grain stuff is important
Hey Jonathan. Just tried to use your TotalBoat code and the message came back that the code was expired.
Now you only need to figure out a way to make the track stick to the saw and then you'll have re-invented Festool's HKC 55;-)
7:20 all of this could be avoided by just making the fence out of wider stock. A piece of 3/4 ply would work perfectly. Edge band it if you like the smooth maple.
N gotta say this for showing f-ups! That one happens to the best of us 😂
Dumb question: Is this a TRACKsaw or is it a (super cool and versatile and adjustable) fence/guide?
Maybe it's the tech writer in me coming out, but I'd assume 'tracksaw' implies the saw running *in* an actual track, not just butted up against a straight edge on one side. If you're repurposing a non-track circular saw for the purpose, that invariably involves modding the shoe/baseplate to ride the track with little to no lateral slop.

I too like to use screws or nails that may be too long if I torque them in too hard or set the air pressure too high. For shop jigs or furniture I just take an angle grinder to the raised areas and say screw it, nobody but me will see it, lol.
Can not find the knobs in your store..
I put the wrong link. Fixed now. Check pinned comment or description
Wow, not many youtubers can be understood at 1.75 speed
As good as my makitas
WTF? Is Mars in retrograde or something. Like half the woodworking channels I watch are moving shops.
5 stars for the concept, and your finished product -- I WANT to build this jig! 2 stars for OMITTED SPECIFICS that a newbie like me NEEDS to REPLICATE your build:
1) SPECIFIC DIMENSIONS of EACH wood piece that I need to cut.
2) Inset distances (plural) from edges (plural) of the base piece for attaching RIP-CUT FENCE to the BASE piece.
3) Inset distance for T-Track dados -- 1.5" for the 2 on the BOTTOM of the base (thank you!), and [not specified] on TOP of the RIP-CUT FENCE.
PLEASE post the build plans to your website, or post that info to your PINNED comments.
I wouldn't necessarily call this a Track Saw ( more of a Track Guide) as the circular saw does not run on a guided track as they do with true Track Saws. This is what I used before I bought a Mikita Track Saw, and even though it got the job done, I had to be careful to keep the base of the circular saw up against the guide...pain in the ass.
True, but since it serves the same function as a track saw in your shop, this makes it easier for folks to find with a search 😊
Why you gonna copy Rex and The Wood Whisperer and move shops?
95% of people who want to make their own track saw are looking that up because they don't have access to a table saw. Then you show how to make a track saw guide but it requires the use of a table saw... This has zero use to me unfortunately.
talk slower - older people cannot understand what you are saying - slow down
I've put out over 300 videos in the last 6 years and I assure that this is the slowest speed I can muster. Apologies but maybe there's someone else you could relate to more. Cheers

My father is 83 and lives in a long term care facility with 92 other people over 75 years old. Roughly half of them religiously gather in the day room and watch JKM. They don't have a problem with his speaking pace. What's your sample pool of "older people"? Just you? Maybe leave productive comments that add to the community rather than critiquing something insignificant.
Also, UA-cam has a feature to watch videos at different speeds. You can slow the audio and video down by 75%, 50% and 25%. If you want to stick around and be part of the JKM community, maybe give it a try.
@@ezdankie my guy! Tell that retirement community I say hello. Or better yet send me an email with some details and I'll record them a shirt video to say hello!
