Macie sighs one of the most useful soils
that you can get but the I mainly made
for cutting at large items however if
you make a jig you can actually cut
small items on them quite safely that
then means that your miter saw is a lot
more useful than what it will be
normally costing a piece of aluminium
like this at home can be very difficult
that is ten millimeters thick holding
something like this on a miter saw is a
terrible idea
because you can't actually clamp it down
we're actually going to make a jig this
is a piece of inch thick plywood and
I've put a slit in that already using
the miter saw
the ridge three sliding miter saw can be
used to cost water metal or plastic over
the same blade so I cutting aluminium
like this is not a problem so I'm going
to align the cut mark with the dead
center of the Mike that have just caught
on the saw and then I'm going to screw
that down using some wood screws that
will mean that the aluminium can not
move under any circumstances and then
we're going to clamp the piece of timber
down to the bed of the machine so I'm
just going to use some regular wood
screws and some washers to hold the
element down so that is now firmly fixed
and you will notice that I've actually
butted that straight up to the edge of
the timber and then that will hit the
fence at the back of the miter saw so
I'll just put that on there and that
medic the same size as the bed but we
just need to pull it down and check when
it's in the correct position with
kiddies so now we're just going to
tighten up the club on the miter saw I
think I apologize for the background
noise I am having the head quartz at the
front of the house I'm not going to put
some here depending on and a full-face
buys it before we do this caught in the
aluminium
[Music]
so now but it caught in that direction
we now need to turn it the other way you
can do me and massive fear by clicking
the subscribe button then the Bell icon
to receive notifications if you can also
like and share the video that would be
fantastic
as it really helps me out
so again I'm going to align the cot line
with the dead center of the cup wine on
the world and I weren't sure that that
is flush at the front there so that we
use the fence on the soil and then the
applaud can go right behind that we can
cut through both pieces at the same time
[Music]
so as you can see we've now got four
pieces of aluminium which are exactly
the same size so now we're just going to
cut that corner off to make it a little
bit neater and I've got some scrap
pieces of what which I've drilled some
holes in so I'm not going to align that
line with the line in the piece of
timber then I'm going to use these
pieces of wood and I'm going to screw
those down in position
like so so basically we're making a g8
[Music]
so we're guaranteed to ensure it's in
the correct position
[Music]
then clumb that down
[Music]
you can see that we've got the aluminium
into four pieces and we've done that
quickly and safely I've made a couple
more jigs for this so I will put the
links that are in the description am i
working on a more permanent jigmed by
aluminium extrusion and this is going to
use clamps like saw with t slots so that
should make it a lot easier when you
need to cut any small items such as that
not there you can hold things like that
quite see if we're providing you up the
correct jig obviously with this I will
have to make a fence for the back of it
etc because we do have a large hole at
the back there
[Music]
