Sincerely mate…thank you for also including millimetres
One of the best videos to date. In my 18yrs worth of watching UA-cam guides. Also love the fact how you use metric for your friends across the pond 😊
Much appreciated! If you want to support my work, please drop some more comments on my other videos! This helps to wake up the YT algorithms. :)
Oh boy, this brought back memories of middle school trigonometry, which explains why I'm gonna have to re-watch several more times to fully understand 🤯😳😟
I hear you... this video turned out to be really math heavy. If I can help you in any way let me know.
I qww
It's simple math with a simple formula
Awesome, that actually helps immensely with your showing the maths required and how to work the angles out for the mitre saw. Great. I always thought the angle cut was decreasing degrees from 90, it appears it’s increasing. I.e. from your 45 swinging the blade to the left would seem to me to be reducing the degrees from 45 to say 40 but you’re saying it’s actually increasing the degrees. Now I need to go and make this jig and practice a few times to get it in the brain! Thank you
Outstanding explanation. Just outstanding!!! Thank you 🙏🏼
Wow, thank you for saying so!
Hello from South Texas .
You just earned a new subscriber. The way you explained everything is SOOOOOOO easy to understand . Thank you .
Glad to hear! Thanks for the sub.
- AWESOME demo & explanations. Cutting angles accurately takes skill & some "know how." Thanx for sharing & making this seem "do-able." VERY, VERY good info.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge on this topic. It's going to help with a lot of angle problems in the future. Appreciate your time. Thanks
Oh it's my pleasure Jody. Thank you for watching.
Brilliant explanation. Thank you.
Very excellent instructions
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks that was really cool 😎 Ironworker Doug here; ! Way to go on finding the angle 📐 of the dangle , ya wood working is my new hobby, my old hobby is leather crafter , I like to make scabers, bolt bags , pouches, tool holders and such, I really like your videos thanks 🙏!!!
Hey Ironworker Doug, nice to meet you bro! Cool, I've always wanted to do leather work. Thanks for the comment!
New woodworker here so, after watching this, I'm feel both excited and overwhelmed! I'll watch it a few more times and hopefully be able to grasp it all :) Thanks so much. The Lord has gifted you for sure.
Hello new friend! Yes the Lord has gifted me, and it's only because of Him that I'm able to continue to do what I do. Please reach out here or on Instagram if you have questions or need help... I'm here for you. 🙏
@@TrainingHandsAcademy Well thanks again. That is very encouraging to me as I start my day!
The plans for that jig would be super helpful
FANTASTIC instructions, description and jig!!!
Glad you liked it!
Awesome job of explaining the process and fantastic jig(s)
I have no real need but was interested in this. I’ve immediately subscribed based on the fact you use mm for us non Americans. Huge respect I can never follow the inches…..
Thanks for the follow. Have any video requests?
WOW, This was and incredible video. Was looking for a way to figure out angles ,couldn't find a video that explained this way. Thanks for making this one.
You are welcome!
Just starting out, your videos are amazing, thanks!
Thanks Phillip!
I can't tell you how this cleared up so many of my questions. Thank.
That is great to hear!
Fantastic video. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job, thank you.
Wow, such a great informative video. I've been wanting to make my different degree angles but it was a bit unsafe. Your video has really put a better perspective on the capabilities of doing these angles. Thanks my friend. Steve
Glad it was helpful!
This is an Excellent period of instruction!
Glad you liked it.
Ditto from d fu and the method of explanation EXCELLENST!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I actually used a very basic version of your jig yesterday at work.
That is awesome!
excellent excellent explanation!
Thanks very good idea!
Thanks ,great video !,,
Awesome teacher , thank you for this beautiful video, thanks for worrying about finger safety and include it soo smoothly
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Thank you , good video well explained
Very useful information 🙏

Thanks for watching your video, You are so very skillful, keep up the good work, God Bless you.
Your videos are so clear and instructive there class and have pulled me out the shit so much thanks
I like it keep up 👍
Awesome video! thank you!
Thank you for the comment.
I’ve been struggling with 2 cuts for our deck frame for 2 days now. THANK YOU for explaining that unmitered joins only need subtracted from 90! Just like that we made the cuts (they were finally right) and now we can start laying the boards!!
Awesome!
Very informative. Thank you so much for sharing
You are so welcome!
Excellent video! Thank you. Well done.
Glad you liked it!
Very good !
This video was great, as I have run into some angle I didn't know how to cut. I will make this jig tomorrow. Thank you!!
Let me know how it turns out!
@@TrainingHandsAcademy turned out great, I also made a bevel jig for my table saw to cut greater than 45's now I am set . thx for the great video.
AWESOME VIDEO
Thanks for watching Charles!
You are a life saver!!!! I always just cut a 45 on a 1x6 and risked cutting the piece standing along the 45 edge. This is awesome!!! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
great video!!!
hey man thanks for your video I had a lot of trouble with some angles and you showed me how to measure and most important how to cut high angles
Glad the video helped my friend.
Dude, awesome!
Glad you think so!
Super instructional video. Best I have seen.
Wow, thanks!
I literally had to watch 10x but I was interrupted about half that . That's what I tell myself to make myself feel better
Well done!
Hope you learned something! :)
More THAN!
Great build and love your safety ideas . . . I have a different problem, I am building a model and dealing with tin pieces of wood . . . there has to be different saws for this application.
I need to learn those calculations.
Awsome video explaining how to cut the extreme angles on a mitre saw. Thanks a lot and greetings from India, By the way, I am a sixty-one year old newbie woodworker.
That's awesome!
! BUENAZO, EXCELENTE, GRACIAS POR EL VIDEO Y POR LA INFORMACION, UN FUERTE ABRAZO, BENDICIONES !
¡Gracias por el comentario mi amigo!
Dang ol trignamomertry ! That's like some kinda math for smart people !
lol
Great!
Thanks
Legend❤
Very nice jig better than the one that I made. I will be making one like this
Great, hope it helps.
Awesome job! Very well explained and shown. You do a fabulous job on your content and delivery. Thank you so much and please keep them coming. Great woodworking and God Bless.
Thank you Mark, and God bless you too my friend! 🙏
@@TrainingHandsAcademy do you mind sharing where you are located again please. Thanks!
@@markquinlan4876 TN
This was an excellent video! I had to favorite it, because I’m far to stupid to remember all of that.
Glad you liked it Joe!
I second that
This is crazy helpful - glad I found it all these months after the upload.
I don't think you covered this so I just wanted to ask: how do you find the half and quarter angles? Does your saw have markings for those? Or do you have some tool that verifies these angles for you that you use to set the saw before making the cuts.
Terrific video as usual - your professionalism and concise teaching style is something to be revered!
Hey there! I'm not sure I follow... What do you mean by half and quarter angles?
@@TrainingHandsAcademy you mention 68.75, 64.5 and 57.5 degree cuts in this video. I was wondering how you set your miter saw for these angles specifically 😊
@@ItsPhilH That's right... I set the miter saw to those numbers as close as I can simply by using the saw's readouts. Going in between degrees to get the .5 is pretty easy, and when it comes to the .75, I just simply guess. The difference between .5 and .75 on a saw is not even noticeable. Bottom line, those numbers are what the math produces, I just try to get as close as I can with the saw. Hope that helps.
@@TrainingHandsAcademy that definitely helps! Thought I missed something even on the second viewing. Good to know that wasn't the case and I just missed some wisdom from time spent in the craft.
Thanks so much for the swift and coherent responses 😊
Great video and really great jig. I have been trying to build a memorial flag case that requires extremely sharp angles between the sides and base plate. I am using 3.25" wide boards but when I miter them (standing on edge) the resulting cut is not parallel but rather seems to skew at the exit end of blade. Is this an issue of the piece moving or the saw not being exactly at 90 deg. to the table.
So helpful my friend! Thank god we hardly do these deeper cuts at work but I’m sure it’ll come up soon.
Question.. Any way you can make a video about how to adjust a saw blade on a miter saw? I noticed MANY (mine now) people when they buy their miters, it’s usually out of place and you have to adjust it yourself. I might have to 📱 you Sunday if that’s ok 🙏🏼
Hey Carlos! Thanks for the great video idea, I'll start thinking on that. We can totally catch up this weekend sometime if you need to... you know I'm always here for you bro. 👊
@@TrainingHandsAcademy sounds like a plan!
Badass.
A good video that explains things in a good way. However, it is all about cutting angles LESS than 45°! With your reasoning a 90° angle should be 0°. It is all about what you have as reference and if you measure what you remove or the piece you keep
Thanks for your input Peter.
Eres chingon!
Josh, excellent video! Well done and explained! First class! Can you please provide the information of the clamp you used on the right side of your miter saw? Deep throat, long reach. Thank you!
Hey JM! The clamp is a Bessey 16" x 4" tradesman bar.
Thank you!👍
Oh that shelf/table is pretty neat! But not overly complicated. Might be my next project :D
Edit, actually scaling this up to say a coffee table, would mean making the angle cuts would become rather complicated...
Any tips for that?
Yes they would get complicated because of their size. Off the top of my head (because I've never tired it), I would look into making a jig that would work similar to the one in this video that would hold a circular saw at a 45 degree angle. Not even sure that would be possible, but something to explore. :)
@@TrainingHandsAcademy yeah, thats what came to mind, sounds hazardous though, similarly risky for a table saw...
well worth thinking about :) if i can think of a safe way i’ll post it
Thanks for the video. I am new to using a miter saw and having difficulty making cuts on small pieces of wood. My training project was a few birdhouses. I couldn't figure out how to clamp the smaller pieces when making my cut, and didn't feel safe just holding the piece in place. The jig looks like it would fix that problem, are these available to purchase somewhere? It looks pretty straightforward to build, but not sure how to chamfer the edges. Thanks
Hello. Thank you for the comment. No, I have never seen those for sale before.
@TrainingHandsAcademy, My Bottom support pieces are 4 3/4" long and I have lined it flush with the top board just like you demonstrate and have approximately 1/8" no more then 1/4" for the edge support. Yours on the video appears to be almost 1/2" is that about what should hang over?
Just measured mine... I have 3/8"
9:56 If you love safety and you know it clamp your hands!
I laid out something like you did here. I placed my angle finder on it, traced it out and when I
Make the cut,they are always a few degrees off. The longer the stock, the worse off it is. Any ideas on what I
May be doing wrong. I built the jig as you said.
Have you calibrated your saw lately? The error could be coming from there?
@@TrainingHandsAcademy it’s accurate on 90 and 45 degrees, when I put the jig on, the cut is way off. I bet I’ve made 100 cuts and can’t get it right. I’m pretty sure the angle I come up with it correct. Something with the saw and it’s a brand new dewalt 12” compound miter
Hi. How would that work with crown?
Not sure, never tried it with crown. Good question!
But how do you make that cut when your base is 7.5 inches and doesn't fit under the saw to make that cut because it's too big?
Around 10:35 minutes in the video you say by moving 10 degrees to the left you cut at 54 degrees, but this would be 10 degrees less than 45 so would be 35 degrees. Am I misunderstanding something?
💥👌👍🤝😎
yep great , tho of course 0 is in fact 90degrees already? good vid , thanks for posting
I understand the utility of this jig but if you have no time to build it, wouldnt be faster just using the square instead?
It might be possible Lucian, but I've never tried it. Metal objects on my saw table always makes me nervous. :)
so how come you can’t just split that angle in half tho but say for other angles to bisect you can just draw it out and it’s half? Someone help please
To best answer that question, I recommend trying it. Let me know what you learn. :)
At 2:18, the angle should be supplementary, not complementary. Supplement angles add to 180 while complementary angles add to 90 degrees.
You get an A+
Damn it man that's to much math I should have been paying attention in school wow
It is a tone of math! :)
Use masking tape and super glue instead of two side tape .
more THAN, not "more then"
Did that for SEO...
I came here to say that, just seeing that title makes my teeth itch.
You would hope that an "Academy" would know the difference!
Pepople don’t have those fancy angle finder! I am DONE! Sick & tired of you all thinking we can afford these tools! I am a old grandmother trying desperately to afford to stay slice & care for my grandson- screw all if u ,we were oulfnt be here if we could do these things with expensive tools! $ 5 buys milk!
I'm so sorry you are struggling right now Lisa. Truly. The cheapest digital anger finder I found was on Amazon for $18.00. Let me know if there is anything else I can do.
