Reminded myself this morning of teaching days when students were afraid of cutoff kickback and cutting small parts on the big compound miter saw which I also own. I drew up these to cut out for my own saw, and I'll send the file to the college lab manager. The saw has 1/4" x 1/2" holes in the metal fence already. I'll add a photo of them mounted on the saw after I cut them out later. Prior to this I've just used small c-clamps to clamp on plywood scraps. These will use t-bolts I already have and either cam levers or wing nuts on the back side to loosen/tighten or remove them. The gap between the metal fences is indeed a danger. This will be a permanent attachment to my saw so I can put my tiny c-clamps to other uses. The wide slots allow me to pull them 1" away from the blade, then I can loosen the metal fence they are attached to and slide it back for miter cuts. I'll cut these from a scrap of cheap 1/2" thick birch veneered plywood I have. 4D

In this video I share how I cut small parts on the miter saw. I am sure this one will be cause for active commentary from the safety police and maybe the hand tool junkies for not using a fancy hand saw to cut small pieces. Well, this is the way I do it in the American Craftsman Workshop. Because if the tool doesn't make any noise and throw a rooster tail of sawdust, how am I supposed to know that any work is getting done? Hope you enjoy the video and find it helpful;) Remember to let your work be your signature. Your friend in the shop, Todd A. Clippinger Share the Love - Share the Knowledge
