I have small shop woes, so I cannot support a big band saw. Improvised with this crosscut jig that I designed.
Now make a area for 45s on the other end.
I see the open tab slots now.Making two fixtures?
the open tab slots are for the 45d fence! You can see it in the picture attached. There is also a stop with a slide rail cut into it. But, after using it I decided the stop was a waste. Now I’m moving on to version 2, which will be much better.
You should definitely consider a stand mounted portable bandsaw or dry cut saw.
As I stated in the OP, I have a small shop and cannot spare the space. I had a Jet bandsaw and I sold it. So, I already considered it thoughtfully.
I’m referring to a tiny bench top bandsaw. Not a floor horizontal one.
A dry cut saw is an even better option,
I have a evolution chop saw but still have toyed with this same idea because ive had better luck cutting miters with my metal circular saw and a square.
I had a nice Jet and it was too small… junk. Couldn’t get reliable cuts. I may get a milwaukee M18 bandsaw with the kit one day to convert it to a fixed bandsaw. Maybe.
Besides, the jig I designed works great. It cuts perfectly square, and quickly and it is super portable. I am already thinking up a second version that will be even better.
