Here's a great jig that turns your circular saw into a do-almost-everything tool and there's a free plan available: kzitem.info/news/bejne/ymmwuH5uomh4eHY

Made those two jigs today. As a novice woodworker this took me the entire day but it was worth it. Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks - looking forward to trying out more of your videos/plans

Excellent tutorial. During lockdown here in 🇬🇧,.my daily routine was either home decorating, gardening or DIY in the garage. Videos like yours were lifesavers, so thanks for all your ideas in keeping me sane.

Great diy how-to. Just made the same fence to my sliding miter saw except I added a small touch. Added a t-track rail to the top of the fence and a t-track flip down stop The t-track I added to both sides of the fence so I can use the stop either side

You think that there might be deflection if a long fence (4ft) is attached but if T-track is installed front and rear, that would keep it straight.

This test is only if you want to saw with precision, with a miter saw.(test is not intended for rough and hard work). Tips and Test: Very important if you would like to saw with precision. (avoid torsion as much as possible)! Always choose a Miter saw with a handle positioned in a VERTICAL line above the saw blade. Everything must be aligned, slide rails, handle, and saw blade,it is much better this way the blade will not tilt. Because there is some torsion in the aluminum housing . And choose an engine with softstart on it to prevent wear of the gear and worm shaft. It is very important that everything is aligned. Here are some examples to show how the handle must be positioned above the blade. Bosch gcm 800 sj / Bosch gcm 8 sjl / Evolution rage 3 / FESTOOL KS 60 / Bosch GCM 8 SDE / FESTOOL KS 60 E KAPEX / Metabo KGSV 72 Xact / Bosch PCM 8 SD / Hitachi C10FSH / Ridgid MS255SR 10-inch / Evolution Fury3-S / Evolution R255SMS / Metabo HPT C10FSBS / Hitachi C10FSB / Hitachi C10FS. (This also is the case with the Miter saw without the slide rails). (If you want). You can test it yourself at home if there is torsion in the aluminum housing. Step-1. First you make a saw cut from +-5 mm deep in to a flat piece of wood about +- 20 mm thick to this with the normal handle positioned on the right side of the Miter saw (the wood it will remain in place until the test is completed). Step-2. Then repeat this by pushing the saw blade down with your hand (finger) on the aluminum protective cover were the saw blade is cased in. Just now only do this without the running engine. Step-3. Now you can see if the saw blade will be positioned in or next to the saw cut. If the saw blade is (+- 0,2 / 0,5 mm) next to the saw cut then there is torsion in the aluminum housing (test is completed). Step-4. Therefor it is much better to choose a Miter saw with the handle positioned VERTICAL in line above the saw blade. The second option is the handle positioned HORIZONTAL in line above the saw blade. Step-5. When you measure the vertical 90 degrees angle square (Digital Angle Gaug) of you're sawblade don't forget that there is always some torsion in the aluminum housing. Conclusion:how further away the handle is from the saw blade how more chance of torsion in the aluminum housing don't go for that (the choices are yours). Also with a cheap slide miter saw it is still better the handgriff in line a above the saw blade than on the right side. Maybe they will make it someday then we have a winner...

I have a Kobalt miter saw similar to yours and the back plate (fence) is bellied towards the back, which is causing some kickback and of course cuts that are not square. If I run a straight edge across it, there is almost 3/16 of an inch space in the middle. I can't find parts for it and need some suggestions as how to modify this for the reasons above.

2 questions: Is the fence something you expect to replace regularly? Did you add on measuring tape to the fence?
@OutoftheWoodwork

I may have to replace it eventually, but I made it out of a harder wood so that it would last several years. I didn't add a tape. That's something I'll add once I eventually make a miter saw station.

I use a Freud 60T blade, but less expensive blades work just fine in a miter saw...you just might have a bit more tear out.

It prevents smaller pieces from falling into the opening making a safer cut and prevents tear-out. I go into this more in my miter saw video kzitem.info/news/bejne/sZmDnHqYnJF9o4o

I need one for my saw. If I am not paying attention and a piece of scrap falls in there it can go flying when you plunge the blade.
