My Top 7 Miter Saw Tips for Beginners.
My Top 7 Mitre Saw Basics for Beginners. Having a Mitre Saw in your workshop is one of those ‘must-have’ tools. For me, l use the mitre saw on practically every woodworking project l undertake. Having said that, it can also be one of the most dangerous tools in the shop so it must be given the respect it deserves.
In this video, I've compiled what l think are my Top 7 Mitre Saw Tips that every beginner woodworker should know. Hope you find the video useful.

G'day Folks. I love my Mitre Saw! It's over 12 years old....l use it on basically every project that l undertake... and is still cutting like a Demon! The mitre saw is one of those must-have tools that as well as being incredibly useful, it can be extremely dangerous so PLEASE take the time have a look at these tips. You'll be glad you did! Cheers 👍🇦🇺😁
I know, I know, it says "for beginners". But I was curious. My oldest one is thirty years old, Makita. It's a heavy little bugger and rates a permanent roost in the shop. For portable units I picked up a Delta and habba frate sliding. Then I have some two dozen other types of saws tucked about here and there. Plus other cool stuff I've picked up over a lifetime. Nevertheless, I picked up a handy trick - that angle at the bottom of the stop block. I have a habit of wiping and/or blowing the deck clean between cuts so it hasn't been an issue that's called out to me before but no doubt it has to save me some cleaning effort. And your Australian mannerisms are a real hoot to us colonists here on the flip side. 😆 G'day mate!
@@elgringoec Thanks mate....really appreciate the feedback from a bloke who has some experience 👍 Have a good one 👍😁🇦🇺
Why not do tip 3 on tip 7 and put a line on the jig :-) Although I personally would not do it, it is good for many beginners...
@@thinkr8142 Yeah it's a good idea Peter 👍
Qàaà
My 93 year old dad is a master carpenter. He thinks you're absolutely hilarious. He wishes all new woodworkers would watch you. Save a lot of ER visits.
Hahahahaha....Hi Brenda....glad your dad likes the vids 😁 Thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
Master Carpenter 🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣 Dude he's just a Carpenter albeit a good one maybe! I'm 65yrs a Carpenter I'll still outdo most......I'm no master! You'll always be learning and never master
After watching the video advert i was still skeptical. But when i finally downloaded the plans kzhead.infoUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG i was very impressed. The whole plan was just as you said in the video. Thank you very much. I now have a large and valuable collection for my woodworks. This is great!
You're like the teacher that a kid admired because you make learning fun! First time watcher, I'm hooked👏👏👏!
Thanks Andres!!!!! Really appreciate the comment mate. 👍👍👍👍😁🇦🇺🎄🎄🎄
Same
Absolutely accurate assessment!
No Drama
Listen to this guy...IF I had Teachers like this I would of done a lot better in life 😝....So TOP TIP KNACKERS!!!!!!
My bonus tip. If you are trying to cut a piece which is slightly too wide for your mitre saw, you can effectively increase the cutting width of your saw by placing your piece on top of another to raise it towards the wider part of the blade. For example - my small mitre saw has a 125mm max cut but if I place my piece on top of some 15mm board I can cut 140mm wide pieces comfortably.
👍..Good tip Daz! 👍😁🇦🇺
Great tip. Thank you.
That is a great tip . Another thing that you can do is lift the front of the piece while the rear-end remains tight against the back fence. It might sound dangerous but I've done it hundreds of times. Just be careful
Yes saw norm do that
G'day Uncle Knacker! I moved to Australia 2 years ago from South Korea and am making career as a carpenter, and I'm learning heaps from your videos! not only carpentry but an aussie accent and a bit of sense of humor of uncle as well😂 what a beautiful educational channel! Keep up good work and appreciate it!
Thanks heaps S.C 👍🇦🇺🇦🇺 Great effort coming from Korea and getting stuck into carpentry....all the best with it mate! I'm sure you'll do really well 👍 Thanks for watching 👍🇦🇺😁
Struth mate, that’s awesome! 🤣🤣🤣
안영하세요! I am learning Korean by myself at the moment. I hope you enjoy learning here in Australia!
Good on ya mate! 🇰🇷😁🇦🇺
Good luck to you in Australia.
This Gents enthusiasm is pleasantly infectious.
Cheers mate....thanks for taking the time to watch 👍😁🇦🇺🎄
I’ve been using my mitre saw for 5 years without knowing any of this! Thank you!
No worries Lori! Glad you found the video useful 👍😁🇦🇺
First decent explanation of what a zero-clearance plate actually does that I’ve seen online.
That's great! Thanks for that Nicholas and for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
@@the_original_skytiger sadly yeah most videos seem to assume you’d already know
It also shows you exactly where the blade is going to cut. On most projects that is more important than a tiny bit of tear out.
Really great tip on the zero-clearance plate - so simple but effective. Really enjoy your delivery too...
Got my first miter saw this summer and I love it. These tips were invaluable. Thank you!!!
No worries at all mate! Glad you found it useful and thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
I love the way you've CLEARLY explained everything (and made it funny and memorable). I appreciate the professional quality of this video which I've used in the research for my new miter saw.😃
👍😁...Cheers Diana! Really appreciate the feedback and l'glad that l could help in some way 👍😁🇦🇺
I love the Fame on the wall. 'Measure twice, cut once' Great video as always. Cheers!
Hahahhahha....yeah that frame is a little constant reminder for me Brian 😂 Glad you like the video mate and thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
I'm a beginner, thanks for the helpful tips. you crack me up!
👍😁..Cheers Mary! Glad you liked the vid 👍😁🇦🇺
I just started woodworking this year and have had all these issues. Thank you so much for your help.
No worries Kathy!...glad to help👍😁🇦🇺
Your since of humor and overall vibration is so high! Thad bit with the red nail polish and calling out all your woodworking buddies by name = 😂😅👏
😂😂....cheers mate 👍🇦🇺😁
I love your attitude. The accent makes it even more.
Awesome! Cheers for that mate...appreciate the feedback and thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
Been woodworking for a few years and that idea for a zero clearance is brilliant. Enjoyed the video and so good to see Aussie content.
Thanks Nigel.....appreciate the comment mate 👍😁
Great tips KnackeeEeEEEeersssahhh! I am especially in love with the dowel and zero-clearance base and back! I have to go and make meself one once I get the shop up and running!
Cheers Isa! Give it a go mate....you'll be glad you did 👍 Thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
As a relative newbie to the usage and safety aspects of the mitre saw, I cant thankyou enough for sharing theses invaluable and intuitive tips. Thankyou again...brilliant vid!!
Thanks Doug!...glad you found useful mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Just brought a mitre saw and am keen to get woodworking,. This video was easy to follow, warm amd funny, and informative without being patronising. Following! Thanks buddy!
Awesome, thank you H.M! Glad you found it useful and thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
Thank you, I just bought my first Miter saw and this has saved me a lot of question asking and Google searching, especially loved the 45° cut off advice for the bottom of the stop block. Hoping to build a large shed/workshop for the back garden, so the tip on extending the fence for longer cuts was greatly appreciated too.
My pleasure mate! Glad you found the video useful 👍😁🇦🇺
Thanks mate, I learned a lot from this video. I'll definitely be making myself a zero clearance plate
No worries Max....yeah go for the zero clearance plate mate....makes world of difference! Have a good weekend 👍🇦🇺😁
Top job on this video Uncle Knackers! This is so informative. Love it!
Thanks Katie! Glad you found it useful....appreciate the feedback 👍 Cheers 👍😁🇦🇺
Love your videos! As a beginner woodworker and currently obsessed with my mitre saw, your tips are fantastic! Off to make myself a zero tolerance fence now to stop the dreaded tear out. Thank you!
No worries at all Jo!....Glad l could be of some assistance....thanks for watching and good luck with the Zero Clearance Plate 👍😁🇦🇺
I have been binge watching videos on mitre saw jigs. They all look so fancy and need many extra tools to create them. Your ideas are simple and exactly what I need. Thank you for the great tutorial
My pleasure Kelly! Glad you found the video useful and thanks for taking the time to watch 👍😁🇦🇺
Only just started looking at beginner mitre saw projects, this one came up in the top 3. Since its based on Tips, this is a very essential video for those who are either accident prone, have issues with directions (do not like reading manuals or books) and finally to learn some super simple tips to make your life a lot easier, cheers mate!
No worries at all Andrew! Thanks for taking the time to watch mate 👍😁🇦🇺
I am getting started in the world of miter saw woodworking but so far you are my favorite presenter. Great videos!
Fantastic! Thanks for that Vikas. Glad you find the videos useful mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Love the zero clearance and fence extension! So simple and useful! Ideal for a noob like me.
Good stuff mate....glad you found the video useful 👍😁
Once again, your tips are good as gold. I especially love the jigs and hints for safe material handling 👍 I'd like to add one small tip: If you find yourself cutting longer pieces, like fence boards or such, place another support under the far end of your piece, so it won't fall down when the saw is through.
Thanks Andre and good tip too mate 👍👍😁🇦🇺
Thanks for this one! My brother-in-law just asked me if I wanted his old Miter Saw! Perfect timing.
Awesome! Great timing Jessie 👍🇦🇺😁
Great idea about the fence extension.. wish I had seen this a week ago would have made my project much easier -- well done..
Cheers Todd.....glad you liked it mate and thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
Love your small piece holder and stop block ideas. Due to my lack of space, I would combine the small piece holder with the dowel holder. Great zero clearance idea as well. Thankyou, Jim H.
Cheers Jim and great idea 👍 Have a good one mate 😁🇦🇺👍
Thanks for this! Hubby gave me his old mitre saw so I can make plank signs. Wanted to figure out a jig and there it was on this video! Gonna have soooo much fun with my new toy!
Awesome!! Glad l could of assistance Mary and good luck with the saw and those plank signs 👍😁🇦🇺
Once again you're a genius. I've been woodworking for years and never had need of a mitre saw other than rough cutting. Started doing finer work and was really disappointed with the accuracy of my new saw. This puts me back on track so I can get on and make the things in my head. Loving the presentation style and a no-nonsense approach. Top work fella.
👍.....Thanks Wes........appreciate the comment mate 😊👍
I got a mitre saw first, and regret not getting a table saw first.
Loving the channel, this video has helped me decide I need to buy a Mitre - great tip Knackerrrrrrrrrsssss!!
Good stuff Kev!...go out and get one mate..they're awesome 👍🇦🇺😁
You would be the biggest knucklehead ever! You covered everything I needed to know, except, the correct and safest way to cut on the compound saw! Thanks,great video, John from Oz
Thanks for watching John 👍😁🇦🇺
Good job on this video. The zero clearance insert and the fence extension are great ideas. Thank you!
No worries at all! Thanks for the feedback and for watching....cheers 👍😁🇦🇺
When they bring their hand across the saw, it’s called a cross cut, LOL 😆.
LOL, also known as amputate!
Great tips Shane. When someone with 20 or 30 years of experience gives tips on their tools of trade, smart people listen! I listened AND took notes 😆
Smart man Jamie 😁.....Thanks for watching mate 👍🇦🇺😁
Thanks Shane, wish I could return the favour, so if you ever need tips on how to manage an acutely psychotic violent offender, flick me a msg 😁
@@jamishep 😂😂...no worries mate...will do 👍👍
Thank you I am going to make that hold down jig soon as I finish my coffee.
Good stuff mate! 👍😁🇦🇺
I started watching this guy because he talks like an old video game I used to play on the Playstation 2. Ty the Tasmaian Tiger. Now I can't get enough. 👍
You bloody beaut mate. Great tips. Thx! (It’s a “sliver”: Snakes slither but miter saws sliver.)
Hahahahahaha...yeah,.....bit of a faux pas there....Got my "ithers" mixed up with my "ivers" 😂 Thanks for watching 👍🇦🇺😁
DIYForKnuckleheads 🤣🤣🤣
The 45 degree notch in the stop block: shear genius. Cheers.
Thanks Gordon 👍👍
That was my favorite.
@@diyforknuckleheads how did you make it???🤔🤔🤔🤔
Man.. Thank you so much for making these videos. Never too late to learn these things, and you're making it wonderfully entertaining. I appreciate everything you're doing here!
My pleasure Adam....thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺
that 45 degree trick is just priceless , thank you SIR!
Absolutely genius mucka,,,great tips delivered with a great sense of humour,,, thoroughly enjoyed so well done indeed !!... :)
Thanks Andrew....really appreciate the comment mate 👍. Have yourself a great weekend👍🇦🇺😁
I’ve got a 12” dewalt miter saw that’s about 10yrs old and also done thousands of cuts. Still going strong. They’re great machines.
Yeah they're an awesome machine mate 👍👍😁
Always good to pick up new tips. Cheers fella 👍🏻
No worries Gary! Glad you found the vid useful mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Got a mitre saw for my 50th, this video couldn’t have come at a better time. Thanks so much, so clear and well explained.
Thanks Simone...glad you found the video useful and congrats on turning 50! 🍾👍😁🇦🇺
Tip number 1-1/2: unless you have a good sawdust collecting system, a dust mask!
Thanks for the good ideas. I did not read through the comments below, but just in case no one suggested it I thought that I would mention the following: 1) You could improve your vee block for holding round dowels by gluing sand paper on the flats inside the vee. 2) When cutting the angle at the bottom corner of the stop block cut it at a compound angle so that the face of the cut is chamfered away from the fence. (I would suggest 60° to a sharp leading edge on the angle cut.) This would direct sawdust away from the fence as you slid the next piece of wood into the stop. It will save you from huffing and puffing as you make successive cuts. G'day from up here in the Northern Hemisphere.
G'day R.J 👍 Great ideas mate.....l'll have to implement those 👍 Thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
I just bought a mitre saw and am so glad to have found your videos.
Excellent! Good luck with the new Mitre Saw 👍😁🇦🇺
Brilliantly clear explanations ... both verbally and visually.
👍😁...Cheers Ben....really appreciate the comment mate and thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
Thanks, that nail polish excuse helped me out loads. Now if you could just come up with a reason I've got lipstick and high heels in my tool box I'd be in the clear!
😂😂😂.....I'll look into it mate 👍😁🇦🇺
@@diyforknuckleheads 😂 thanks.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Too many secrets ha
I always say the lipstick is for marking where the door catch hits the door frame, when morticing the strike plate. 😂
Thank you for these great tips. I recently got a saw and am a bit scared when using it, but these tips have been great. (New subscriber!)
Thanks Suzie!....glad to help👍 Thanks for watching and for the Sub!.....much appreciated 👍😁🇦🇺
Being scared of a powered saw means you're much more intelligent than some of the guys I've worked with.
OMG the zero clearance plate is genius! Thank you so much for all of these tips!
No worries at all Jennifer....glad you found the vid useful 👍😁🇦🇺
So simple and so brilliant. Thank you :)
Thank you for putting safety first in your videos! Hearing protection and Glasses are so often neglected in these DIY videos. I loved your jig in tip number seven for holding small pieces near the blade. I have unsuccessfully tried several variants of “holding sticks” and look forward to trying your version. BTW - Do you have to tune your miter saw to maintain a perfect 90 degree vertical and horizontal cut ie., no bevel and perfectly square? Thanks for the video! Well done mate!
Thanks John!....appreciate the comment mate. I think l've been lucky with my saw....l've had it for a long time and have never had the need to adjust it for square. Have a good one mate 👍😁🇦🇺
I could hardly watch as I was in tears from the very start. 🤣😂You are so funny! Thanks for the good advice. Mrs. D. I. Y.
saw this in my notifications and had to watch because your so good looking.
Great video. FYI, these are called miter saws here in the states as well - the term "chop saw" typically refers to a metal cutting saw with an abrasive wheel. I've never heard anyone here use the two names interchangeably, although I'm sure it happens.
Thanks mate....appreciate the feedback 👍😁🇦🇺
I only knew it as a chopsaw until I went to purchase my own. While shopping for one, I asked about the pros and cons of the different brands of chop saws. Fortunately, the guy I was talking to was an old woodworker and knew I was talking about a miter saw. Most new, younger woodworkers, I think, only know it as a miter saw.
Bonus extension fence tip: If you have a spare speed square, you can just use that as the stop block on your extension fence.
Spot on!....thanks mate....great tip 👍😁🇦🇺
A 1cm batten glued you your stop block let’s it sit on your extended fence. Much easier to clamp in place.
@@davidelliott5843 yeah that's what I do just use one of those quick clamps to clamp the square to it. EDIT: oops meant @OP
I just use the clamp as a stop block...
I definately need to make that small cut jig! Amazing!
Thanks Henk!.....yeah make one mate...it's really handy 👍😁🇦🇺
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’m now building my shop slowly… thanks.
No worries at all Gord 👍 Thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺🎄
Good tips, but I would point out that, when using a stop block, ALWAYS hold the workpiece on the same side as the stop block. If you don't you are creating a pinch point between the blade and the stop block.. Doing this eliminates the need for waiting after every cut because the waste side of the lumber is free to move away from the blade unhindered.
Good point Joseph but sometimes the piece is to close to the blade to safely do that 👍 Thanks for watching mate and for the constructive feedback. Cheers 👍😁🇦🇺
Like he said, If you wait for the brake to kick in and the blade to stop before you lift the saw up its always pushing the piece against the fence. So as long as its not twisted its not going anywhere.
? New to chop saw use, but could you push the piece that is in your left hand against the side of the blade while the teeth are below it to act as an additional brake to stop the blade which would lessen the time before one could lift the stopped blade safely?
@@martvogt7019 Once you pinch the blade, regardless of where the teeth are, it can send pieces flying. The friction against the sides of the blade is what causes the pieces to be thrown, not the teeth.
An old carpenter once told me the original term was "shop saw" as these were commonly found in wood working shops rather than out in the field like more portable circular saws. Along the way a lot of people, (including me), just started calling them "chop saws" for some reason.
I've always heard "chop". It makes sense. You're chopping off a section of product.
Great information. Thank you.
very helpful. just bought my first and I'm trying to learn as much as possible about it. thanks!
No worries at all.....hoped it helped. Thanks for watching 👍🇦🇺😁
Again another excellent video for an absolute beginner wood worker as myself. How on earth did you come up with the corner cut on that stop block. Great tip !! :-)
Thanks Jan 👍👍 Glad l could be of assistance mate......the corner cut came from trial and error 😊 Have a good one 👍🇦🇺😁
Ohhh, a removable zero clearance plate by setting on. Never heard this one b4
Yep 👍👍 Thanks for watching mate 👍😁👍🇦🇺
Plan on getting a Mitre Saw soon, found these tip to be very useful. Thanks for all your informative and fun videos
No worries John! Good luck with your new saw mate 👍👍
Mate, your videos are brilliant - you've really inspired me to get back into working on woodwork projects. Keep up the awesome work!
👍😁...Thank you so much for that SW! Glad you find the vids useful mate and l appreciate you taking the time to watch. Cheers 👍😁🇦🇺
I'm from the US and I call it a mitre saw!
Yeah l've heard you guys use both terms so l thought l'd better Chop Saw in.....people can be pretty picky on KZhead 😂
But you spell it mitre not miter? Are you really from the US! Or is your spell checker set to UK English 😁
I’m totally new to woodworking but looking at that dowel jig I wondered if it would be worth making it kind of like the zero clearance plate. I thought I saw ripping on the dowel so could you have a longer jig to rest the dowel in, with a channel cut into it half way along, that goes below the join of the V, to lessen ripping and to hold the dowel piece you just cut? Would that work or am I missing something?
Na that sounds like it would work John.....good tip 👍🇦🇺😁
That's great, thank you for your top tips. There is no substitute for experience, I've learned a lot from you. Would live to see your projects to make for beginners
👍😁....Thanks John 👍🇦🇺
Thank u sir 🙏🏽ur knowledge is greatly appreciated...wished my dad was like u altho he's a joiner and carpenter he never teaches me anything or even try 😢 then he be angry at me for not knowing 😢😢😢all ik is from watching ur channel and some other guys i really have learnt alot from u☺️ may u continue to be blessed in every way possible 🙏🏽❤️
I've lost count of the number of people I have threatened with instant dismissal from work (building roof trusses) because they are crossing their arms up as demonstrated in tip No. 2. They won't lose a thumb or a tip of a finger, they'll lose half their bloody arm! They insist on using their dominant hand to control the saw and pull the trigger. An explanation of what will happen to their arm along with the threat of dismissal is the only thing that stops them.
Kuffy, when l was a young bloke in the 80's we did a shit load of house frames around Sunbury and Taylors Lakes. Back in the day all the frames were stick frames so we had a guy come in to cut the studs. He was a professional who cut studs 8 hours a day, every day and that's how he used to cut!!!! It was mental.! Have a good one Mae 👍🇦🇺😁
Most likely they are left-handed. I find myself doing it sometimes. The left-hander's struggle is real ya'll!
@@Jaji813 Being a left-hander Janette l know what you're talking about 👍
There is so much common sense problem solving in home improvement. Im constantly say,"duh?" to myself.

Thanks Michael! Appreciate the comment mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Glad I found you!! I have a mitre saw that I inherited from my brother and it has looked too scary to use. Your tips and information provided were very informative and your sense of humor kept my attention through out. Thanks for including all the safety information - not just about the ears and eyes, about the unplugging at all times when not in use. Will check out more. You do a good job explaining the whys of everything you are explaining - like the zero cut board with the attached fence.
