I just built this and it’s working great. Something I discovered which will make the process a bit more foolproof is cutting both the track edges from the outside of a factory cut sheet. That way you aren’t relying on being able to cut a matching straight cut only using the first piece as a straight edge. Your cuts could essentially be all over the place freehand and still have a perfect track.
@OneMinuteWorkbench

Thanks for sharing that tip! The only downside to doing it that was is that now the remainder of your sheet will have 2 edges that are hand cut, which will make it more difficult to work with. As long as you're okay with that, yes, cutting off the factory edges at the start will make the whole process easier. Thanks again!

Thought to having two rough cut edges. With the captured saw design you could add a square to one end and you can work off of that edge.

I can't for the life of me cut a straight line with my circular saw. I use straight edges and clamps, but they slip or something. This will be a great answer to that problem, instead of using my table saw for the long board cuts I need from time to time. Thanks for sharing. Tommy.

Brilliant saw guide! Trapping the saw between 2 straight edges is the way to go, especially if you've set it down too hard one too many times, and the foot is no longer perfectly parallel to the blade, which will cause the cut to wander away (or toward) a simple clamped straight edge, if you're not careful. Plus great way to demo making the guide, showing all the steps in a clear, easy to understand manner. Definitely clicking Like on this one!

I built a saw track after watching this video, except I had some square aluminum tubing which I used for one of the guides. I also had only 1/4" underlayment plywood, which is stronger and smoother than lauan, so it works great, and I get almost full blade depth. I added a second sq. tubing guide for stiffness on the other side, where it wouldn't interfere with the saw motor. Very inspiring to see what you can build without a table saw! I had to do some home repairs, and my track came in SO handy. No more wobbly trim boards, but nice straight edges instead. Thank you!

I just watched this video (again, after about a year in-between viewings). I am looking at having to dimension a lot of sheet goods and I remembered your video and liked it a lot. Then I had this very depressing thought that now, with the prices of lumbers and sheet goods being what they are, the price of one sheet of decent plywood to make your saw track is more by $20 than buying the Kreg 48" straight edge guide. That's really depressing, because I really like your minimalistic mindset in all of your projects. Thank you for continuing.

This is a genius build! I recently embarked on my first woodworking project with a cheap circular saw and some full boards of plywood. I was so lost on how to start, given that I didn't have any sort of track or even straight edge that'd run the length of a 4x8 sheet, and seemingly no way to build a track without an existing one. The method of using the factory edge and freehanding it is so obvious now you've shown it to me but would never have occurred to me on my own. Thanks so much for the video!

When this video first came out I needed and made a copy of the guide. Well, I thought that was what I was doing. In an effort to keep it light (and giving in to my thrifty Scot ancestry), I used 5mm flooring underlayment and ripped a poplar 1x4 for the sides. The poplar pulled inward causing it to pinch the saw slightly. ANY pinch is too much. It's a great tool but I would have saved materials and money to make the sides from plywood as you did to begin with. I think the 5mm plywood floor underlayment would have been fine if I had used full width poplar 1x4s or thicker plywood as you did . The design is terrific. The flaws were of my own making.

Michael, I'd make it about 60" long, and that'll make sure you can make cross-cuts on regular (48" wide) sheet stock. The first one was 3/4", and this one is 1/2". 3/4" MDF would probably work, but as you mentioned, might be pretty heavy. If the MDF is scrap, there's no harm in trying and seeing how you like it.

Thanks so much for this. I really enjoy your videos. I just started wood working and the first thing I built after my workbench is this track. I really enjoyed making and using it. One question I have is this: What would happen if I tilted my saw to 45 degrees? I imagine the groove would become wider. But would it break? Would it be useful if I needed to cut a long piece of wood at 45 degrees? Thanks!
@OneMinuteWorkbench
4 жыл бұрын
No problem! You could definitely do it, but as you mentioned, you'll change the width of the slot. This will destroy the zero-clearance feature of the track. Another thing to think about is that a track like this is mainly made for breaking down sheet goods. Profiling would normally be done another tool...probably a table saw (when it comes to miters like that). Although, depending on the project, it could be useful. If you know you cut a lot of long 45 degree edges, then it might be worth it to have a track dedicated for that task. Anyway, I hope this helps - good luck!

Hello OMW! That's really nice... I bought a long aluminium clamp made for cutting 4'x8' boards, but I find it can be a little clunky to use, you need to push down on the ends if your sheet isn't completely flat before tightening the clamp. The track you built would prevent the blade from moving in any way, which can (will?) happen if you only have one fence. Plus, when you are tired at the end of the day, it keeps the saw absolutely straight without much effort. Before I put up my aluminium guide for sale, am I missing something here? Thanks again for your good video.

Thanks! Lots of people have talked about making longer ones, but I don’t really find the need for it. Cross cuts in 4’ x 8’ (cutting across the 48” width of the sheet) with a table saw is actually harder than rip cutting (cutting down the 96” length). This is because the sheet is very awkward when making those 48” cuts with a table saw, but much more manageable when making 96” cuts. Let me know if that makes sense. All that said, you can find 12’ plywood at real lumber stores (not Home Depot or Lowe’s). Anyway, I hope this helps!

Awesome! Why do have that extra little lip of baseboard on both outside edges?

Heh Tommy what was the overall length and thickness of the base? Cheers and a brilliant series. Your delivery is fantastic.

I have home Depot cut all my forebay eight sheet plywood pieces because I can't handle an 8-ft piece of plywood anymore. So most of my cuts are going to be four feet across. How long did you make your guide? How long should I make it to be able to cut across a 4-ft piece of plywood?

You said this was your 3rd track saw. I saw the 1st and then what i guess was the 2nd (with the plexiglass inserts) and now this one with no plexiglass or am I i missing some track builds as i didn't see any plexiglass inserts on this one? Thanks

The Plexiglas was really based on viewer requests for something that maintained 100% zero-clearance. It's good if you're doing "furniture quality" cuts, but for this project, it would have been overkill. I hope this helps!

how about seeing if you could create a guide for full sheets of plywood by using half lap joints on 2 saw guides, mated together, or something of the like
