Another day, another nickle #2: Right Tilt Table Saw Blues

How high did you have the blade set?
I am trying to visualize why you could not re run the stock with a sacrificial fence?

Bob,
The edge was so sharp that I couldn’t get it to run straight. It would go under the ply and bind on the blade.
These corners are the first cabinet I set in the run and the face frames have to be pretty accurate or I wind up handplaning to get it square so the next one can screw to the frame.

Tom,

Sorry to hear of your misfortunes in woodworking. I’m sure I speak for the rest of the L J’s by saying that we’ve never made any mistakes… ;^D

Beveled sled with fence? MDF carrying board and some clamps? 1/4” hardboard carrying board with tail hook to grab the tablesaw table and eleveate the mitre 1/4” to grab the fence?

I have a right tilt saw and have the same problem. That’s when my Festool TS55 and my MFT1080 gets fired up

Gosh dang, Tom! You hit on it!! A sled that runs in the left hand miter slot and clamps and let the darn thing hang over th edge and…..................

I hate it when things just don’t wanna fit, too! I like your wall of fame. I stopped hanging coyotes cause it only drew their hungry cousins to the free meal…LOL I hope your mistakes don’t draw others!

God Bless,

Good one Tom(MOT), I was getting to that. <g>

I deliberately built my sled out to 23” to accomodate doors.

Thomas, , another reason to hang on to offcuts of MDF.
Grab a few of those mini Destaco clamps . They make jigs a pice of cake.
p.s. there is a guy with a circular saw alignement jig on U-Tube that may be on to something hand too.
It would sure deal with the situation Thomas had – with the proper blade.

Talking about right tilt saws. I got my table saw very early on from Craigslist, didn’t know a thing about them. It’s some 12” contractor type thing but with a big cast iron top and a Vega fence. Anyway I always had issues getting it to a specific angle so just left it at 90, and used other tools to cut bevels/miters. I’d always assumed it was a left tilt, but lo and behold after getting my Wixey angle finder I adjusted it for the first time in years and found out that it’s actually a right tilt, who’d a thunk!

“mis-comboobleations ” . . . I like that word. Gonna use it next time I screw up.

I have a Jet right tilt saw also. I built a aux fence that clamps to my fence and pivots, so I can cut other angles when the need arises I thing I got the idea out of an old issue of WOOD. I see if I can hunt that issue up or dig out the jig and take a picture of it. I don’t use it that often.
