How To Cut Perfect Long Miters on the Table Saw - Woodworking

Join the Makers Mob! rlnk.cc/frankhowarthanjohnheizs Three key factors to successfully cutting clean miters: 1 - Well tuned saw. Doesn't matter how expensive your saw is, as long as it's aligned properly 2 - SHARP blade. This is critical. If the blade isn't sharp, it'll overheat and deflect and ruin the cut. I made a video on how I sharpen my own blades:    • Sharpening A Table Saw Blade on the T...   3 - Zero clearance insert, mostly for safety sake. The offcuts from a bevel cut are wedge shaped and if one gets jammed in an open gap next to the blade, kickback can result. I like to recut my miters even if they fit well on the first pass. That reduces the stress on the saw and results in a cleaner cut when using a sharp blade. Start with parts that are slightly oversized and fine tune the fit as shown in the video. On September 26th, with a Master of Architecture Degree from Harvard University, Frank Howarth from The Makers Mob will be launching a new woodworking design series. In this 4 week woodworking series Frank will cover everything that you need to know to understand the fundamentals of woodworking design. ▶️ Project plans for sale: ibuildit.ca/plans/ ▶️Support the work I do on Locals: ibuildit.locals.com/ ▶️ Patreon: www.patreon.com/user?u=865843&ty=h ▶️ Join my Makers Mob for detailed build tutorials: go.themakersmob.com/john-heisz-i-build-it/?via=ibu… My "Scrap bin" channel: youtube.com/c/IBuildItScrapBin #ibuildit #woodworking Website: ibuildit.ca/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/I-Build-It-258048014240900/ Instagram: www.instagram.com/i_build_it.ca/
