How to Make a DIY Saw Guide with Magnets Woodworking Tutorial

Creating a DIY saw guide with magnets enhances precision in woodworking projects. Begin by selecting a straight, sturdy piece of wood or metal as the base of your guide. Measure and mark the base to match the width of your saw's base plate. Securely attach rare earth magnets along the marked line using strong adhesive, spacing them evenly to match the saw base plate's length. Ensure the magnets are flush with the guide's surface to provide a stable, magnetic grip on the saw. Once the adhesive cures, test the guide's alignment with the saw, adjusting if necessary. This magnetic saw guide ensures straight cuts, guiding the saw smoothly along the workpiece. Its simplicity and effectiveness make it a valuable addition to any woodworker's toolkit, improving safety and accuracy with minimal effort.

They're very useful. I learned the technique from Richard Maguire, The English Woodworker (YT).
