I made this magnetic saw guide

I have never owned a table saw and I do almost all my sawing with my trusty Ryoba. You get quite good at making straight cuts after a while but sometimes it just has to be perfect. I have tried many types of saw guides and this one seems to be the most practical solution for me - simple, easy to use, fun to make and beautiful. It's fun playing with magnets, too!

Elegant use of basic tools. No noisy machine sound.

You know what? I love this. I feel its so doable for me, AND you showed me how crucial it is to have a simple (and possibly double sided) shooting board. I now feel confident in making both. Gracias.

What wood species are you using in this project? The reddish one looks similar to some tropical wood species found in and near Indonesian islands. The difference I see in appearance might even be down to differences in video versus naked eye. Certain tropical woods can be polished almost like stones and you can't quite appreciate it without seeing the results with the naked eye.

So I have been using my 14" long magnetic saw guide, made out of teak, for 2 days. I was cutting 5cm/ 2" thick wood, that was 12"/ 30cm long. My Japanese saw is only 265cm long, and the usable length is less than that.
I found that the saw got chewed up by the teeth quite quickly, as I had to come in from both sides, and it really affected the 90deg cutting ability. It got ugly, which I couldnt afford.
Thinking how to adapt it: make a thicker fence like you did, and shave off the chewed off parts with a plane until its straight again until the sacrificial fence is all used up, then start again?
Or do you think adding a thin strip of metal on the cutting face of the saw guide will do the trick?

Perfekt! Und Version 2 kommt mit Winkeleinstellung? ;-)

I made a guide of my own recently and cannot get straight cuts with it and I can't figure out why! It's square, straight, flat and I'm using a ryoba as well, yet towards the end of the cut the saw veers off track some. I was testing on a 2x4, do you think thats too thick for a guide to be accurate the whole cut?

That’s a really cool drill press? Does it have a special name?
