#zeroclearance

Here’s a throwback Thursday to when I was trying to be as cool as Mike @coffeycustombuilds and make a zero clearance plate for my miter saw. “Trying” being the operative word. This was a very fun little shop project and has been an excellent addition to my miter saw. Helps keep scraps from getting underneath the saw itself, but what I like the best is how it really facilitates lining up your cuts by moving your line right up to the saw kerf. One small consolation is that you can no longer do bevel cuts but there are ways around that. Can either do them on the table saw or if the piece is small enough turn it up on its side to get the same effect. Word to the wise, don’t be lazy and try to cut through a piano hinge with a wood blade. It may or may not damage this zero clearance plate. Don’t ask me how I know! 😳 . . . . . #zeroclearance #mitersaw #shopproject #mitersawstation (at Long Beach, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEZgTDnDxYF/?igshid=hxpoptmgya9l

Hi pallet people, today has been one of those days, which doesn't look like I achieved much, but what I did acheive will ultimately save me a lot of time on every build from now on. I have altered essentially two things on my saw. First was a zero clearance insert, which will now let me quickly know exactly where the first cut will start , which will save me a lot of time every day. And the second thing was to re-align the back fence (which was out because of a large crash I had last year). And add a taller fence (again with a zero clearance). If you are thinking of making these changes don't wait like I did, the short time that I put them into practice this afternoon already has let me see their great time saving potential. Hope you have a great Sunday.

Finally I made them! Zero clearance inserts for my DeWalt table saw. What project were you postponing forever? I was tired of narrow pieces falling inside the saw so I cut .5" plywood to size and it works much better than original insert. I made two inserts, for 90 and 45 degrees cuts. #insert #tablesaw #zeroclearanceinsert #zeroclearance #woodworkingforall (at Alexandria, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/radekartwoodwork/p/BvFF7IGAONd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yh5t8vkgfd4f

It's raining and I don't have any projects. So I made a zero clearance insert for my table saw. #handmade #tablesaw #zeroclearance #upgrade (at Oceanside, California)
