Table saw Accuracy with a Circular Saw

These are really must-have jigs. Especially without a table saw. Thanks for
sharing.

Yep, I agree, this is a very good ” jig” to have. The accuracy and simplicity of it is amazing. I wish I had learned about it earlier than I did, after spending daaaaaaays attempting to build a set of built-in shelves. Better late than never, I guess.

Dude…I think you re-invented the wheel

I have been using one of those for years but I never thought to put on the no-slip padding underneath. I always just clamped it. Next time I get it down to use i’ll put one on to see how it works. Thanks!

Really nice man !
That came out sweet !
And that no-slip padding is smart !

The non-stick padding is genius! I’ve got several of these tracks in different lengths up to 8’, and I also built a crosscut sled for cutting smaller stuff, all the way up to 21” in the short dimension. I mostly use the tracks to break down sheet goods to get them down to crosscut sled size, then use the sled for the rest. I can’t wait to try the non-skid in the crosscut jig.

HJT I made one of these after seeing it on Woodsmith shop, I loved it for breaking down sheet goods. Now that I’m currently staying with family and all my tools are packed away I made another one of those for my dad’s circular saw that I’m borrowing so I can make a small work bench to tinker with.

It’s really a must have for anyone with a circular saw.

Nice Jog, I have a 8 and a 4 footer. The padding seems to be a good idea. I’ll have to give that a try! Thx

Nice jig Harold. I use mine so much that I made one for my router too. Perfect dadoes every time!

HJT I have one of these to but have used clamps to secure it which is not convenient.

I like the nonslip stuff but my question is this. Does the small gap between the plywood and the guide created by the pad leave room for tearout? One of the advantages of my guide is that it eliminates tearout of the plywood.

From your pictures It looks like a pretty clean edge though so I’m going to have to add some of that stuff to my guide.

Nice. I first saw this on Fine Woodworking’s “Getting Started in Woodworking” video series.

these are great jigs to have. the only thing is, it is best to make it with sheet goods(plywood or masonite). this will help keep it straight, where as solid wood has a tendency to pull and warp-twist with time and moisture. sheet goods are way more stable.

Thinman – I’ve just got a router (made a simple router table at this point, but will have to look into a jig for it. Have you posted your router jig? If not, i’d like to encourage you to do so and then we can all see what you have created.

Mauricio – I’ve seen no, tear out at all. Nice clean STRAIGHT cuts. Basically… a thing of beauty!

Shawn – I”ve not noticed any issue with wrapage and I’ve had this one for over a year (just a tad slow on posting). However, i do plan to remake it and will use hardy board. I’ll post that when I do, so make me a buddy :~) and stay turned.
