Straight Cuts


Recommended Posts

I have a sliding miter saw.  Made a wooden "Speed square" that I screwed to the saw fence on the right of the blade.  The distance to the blade is the width that I want to cut.  For the left side, I made 2 pieces of wood.  The lower holds the piece I am cutting (1/4" oak) to the right.  On top of that is glued a 1/4" ply that extends outward to the right.  This is to prevent the piece I am cutting from bouncing.  A long handle pointing about 45 degrees out for a holder.

 

The reason for all this is:  I like to work with 1/4" solid oak.  Almost impossible to find stock that isn't warped.  Started cutting it into strips, marking them, turning every 2nd one over and gluing them back together.

 

Have had good success with this method.  Already had the saw, am an old geezer that doesn't want to buy any more "stuff."
