60 Second Miter Saw fix that will change the way you work! - Easy DIY Miter Saw Stop Block.

In this video we will go rapid fire. I'm working on a bathroom vanity project and I needed to make accurate repeatable cuts on the the different panels for the carcass. I'll also need to do this for the face frame. I don't have a fancy pancy permanent install miter saw station with rulers and mechanical stops - I wish I did though :). So I had to make a quick modification to mine to do it with whatever I had laying around.

This is a super easy and fast project that anyone can do . . . and do it in less than a minute.

All you need is a straight piece of wood, some screws and a clamp and you can have a fantastic stop system capable of giving results even a pro would be happy with.

I have the exact same set as you for more than a decade now. I have been wanting to build a nice stop system. This is absolutely simple and functional. You just saved me a ton of work. Well Done!

[debjordan]

Perfect!! Just what I was looking for. Thank you.

[carlafredd]

You just saved me a shed load of wasted time for 4 different cuts I need to make at various lengths (with 12-14 pieces each). Thank you so much for sharing this hack for those of us who don’t have a fancy place to do our woodworking! MANY THANKS!!!

[jimbo]

I’ve been doing without this since I bought my mitre saw. Obvious and simple. Many thanks. The alternative is to use the first piece to mark off the second and so on. A bit less accurate.

[jamespolucha]

I’ve tried to build all those fancy things but your way is what I use simple quick and I wish I would have thought of that first, thanks for the video

[williambelford]

I have a similar mitre saw stand and for years I've used the roller supports at either end as saw stop for making repeat cuts.

Awesome I’m doing my happy dance… Looked at other sites and they had me buying things attaching devices I don, t own. You’re great.

[DavidLindes]

I totally did almost exactly this the other day. Slight differences in the details of how I clamped and stuff, but essentially the same setup. It's good stuff!

[MarthaJane-zz]

LOVE the simplicity. Thank you for doing the thinking and finding a meaningful, easily actionable solution. Super share. Really appreciate you. May your goodness return to you and all yours many many times!!

Good video! The only thing I do differently is to put a piece of scrap wood between the fence and clamp plus use a C clamp ( can be locked in place tighter) instead of a sliding friction clamp which I found can loosen at the wrong time. Been doing it that way for 30 years since my past shop was a bit too small for a dedicated miter saw bench and the current shop is even smaller

Thanks for this great tip, I just did it this morning and used it for many different stop measurements. (Making a small tounge and groove storage unit for the garden) It certainly saved a lot of measuring. I had to drill holes in the fence to start with as there wasn't any pre-drilled holes. On the extended wooden (fence) I fitted the wood with "threaded inserts" so it's just a matter screwing it off and on with phillips headed bolts. Once again thanks, I'm really pleased.

[patrickgoodman]

I have that exact same set up. There is a built-in stop on your extension arm that works beautifully.

[jdavid]

Thanks for sharing this, been wanting something like this for my miter saw a longer fence cuts, again thanks for your advice on this project.😊, and also I agree with others about not being wearing a long loose sleeved shirt, watching you give me some chills how close you get to the saw blade, so be more careful my friend.

Thanks for taking the time to create this video and sharing your idea

[montelott]

Great tip; anyone who has a mitersaw can use this tip to their advantage without spending a wad of cash.

[jamesprice]

I laughed at the "60 seconds" comment, but hey - it works!

[josephgraham]

Exactly what I was looking for! Quick and simple

[its_marc]

Thanks, don’t know why I’ve never thought to do this. Will sort it tomorrow ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[MarioKapp-ce]

Buger- why didn’t I think of that cheers bro
