Making a waterfall type miter joint #woodworking #woodwork #glue #joint

[ja]

A waterfall or Cascade grain matching pattern is at the end grain. A miter along the grain matching pattern is a wrap

Great vid! Always glue both sides though

For the people saying “yeah just go buy a track saw” you can buy a clamp on fence for like $30 to use with a normal circular saw, I can cut perfectly straight with one and you can double them up to sandwich your saw in between if you want, just a tip for anyone who wants to try it cheaper!

i dont own a track saw, but the table saw with power feeder does great job for me

[IndependentlyAssorted]

Is glue alone enough for that type of joint?

[tylerryancoleman]

Hmm... didn't know what I've been doing for years was called a waterfall joint. Nice

I'm a master cabinetmaker. I do this all the time. Frog tape is good quality tape and I use it for the same reason.

Him: Are you worried it’s hard to do? It’s not.

Me: phew I needed that

[chriselliottph.d]

What product did you use to fill in any gaps

[kellym]

I like to use the shaper at work for doing this sort of stuff.

If you can use a Makita track saw, there is a latch to prevent the saw from tipping off the track. Festool is good too but lacks the latch.

[Slowhand]

I would only recommend packing tape it will hold a lot better and tighter. I use it for a solid looking mantle or posts.

Use a mitre clamp at each end to maintain the 90 degrees.

[laurco]

What are you using to keep the track saw and wood from moving (the black plastic jig in the video?) or does it not need any clamp?

[clearcut]

Those clamps do not give enough compression.

[Z-add]

Doesn't the 45deg ruin the splinter guard on your track? Because now it cannot act as a zero clearance

[Monkeyllx]

Or use a lock mitre on both pieces and get the joint tight and true

[TheMadJester]

Festool track saw but no proper work table??

[sorenludwig]

yeah its easy with the right tools, but who non professionell has festool-stuff.

[joeblow]

Ummm… was that like a 1/4” gap on the near end I could see when you removed the tape? Yep… super eady 🙄
