If you clamp a piece to the fence you’ll hav no tearout at the fence and you won’t need to turn on your laser ether. The cut at the fence shows were the blade is cutting.

I used to screw a piece to the fence but now I clamp it so I can reposition the MRF/MDO when I need an angle. Make sure and have it a little long to start with because you use it up fast once you start flipping back and forth cutting angles.

I wish they made insert from heavy metal, it would stay flat.

Thanks for the idea. Got a new 12” slider and was going to use the full fixture backing but will give this a try.

Pinto, I’ve been meaning to do this too. Maybe this will motivate me. :) Thanks for posting.

@ Steven H – Right before you change your blade or get it sharpened, fashion a thick aluminum insert, cut it, then send your blade off to get sharpened. Actually, that sounds like a great idea. Well… I think a nice thick wooden one would be just fine.

-- Backer boards, stop blocks, build oversized, and never buy a hand plane--

Great idea. Think I’ll put that to use.

I say Brilliant! Or at least very clever…thanks.

Great idea. I’ll be making some of these this weekend. Thanks for sharing.

I was cross cutting yesterday on my Dewalt and cussing the tear out . Know what I am doing today. Thanks

Looks a good idea – and your adjustable left side back guide is pristine (unlike mine – which I forgot to move when doing a bevel cut LOL )
