In this video i show you how i made my precision miter gauge with nonius for my homemade table saw. All plans I ever made I collected in one place.

Please like and subscribe! And happy woodworking! First of all i want to say sorry for my english, i know it's fare from perfect, so please correct me if you see errors. Thank you Transcript: 00:15 first of all i started sanding 1mm thick aluminum sheet with 150, 220 and 320 grit sandpaper 00:32 cleaning surface with acetone, i used a nail cleaning liquid, as for me it works good also 00:44 print flipped images on glossy photo paper (or other laser iron transfer paper, my was 150g/m) on laser printer with maximum toner settings. Also print it with 100% scale. Download images here: http://grinwood.co/making-precision-miter-gauge/ 01:20 started transfering images to the aluminum surface. For this purpose i used an iron in three dots mode (maximum). Few napkins helped to distribute precure evenly. 02:22 despite my best efforts, I have failed. if you know why the image transfering partially, please leave your opinion in comments 02:38 my second try was not much better but good enough for me, themost important part transfered good 02:50 some dots that not transfered i protected from etching with nail lacquer 03:05 etching electrolyte i prepared with water (40g) and salt (about 10-15g) 03:10 for this purpose i use a 12v 3,5A car battery charger. Positive terminal connect with etching detail and negative use as etching tool. 03:55 continue etching until you will fill the relief with nail 04:23 cleaning toner with nail liquid or acetone 05:53 my second fail, i forgot that metal is much harder than aluminum and it can leave a scratches, don't do like that 06:35 gluing aluminum sheets to the plywood with super glue 09:15 when i drilled this 10mm hole the drill bit muve a little left and subsequently the center moved to, but thanks God it was not affected the accuracy. 09:47 with this reaming mill i made a precision holle for 8mm bushing that is just a little longer than this angular scale board. 10:22 drilling 8mm holes in nonius part for 6mm screws. That holes are bigger just to give nonius a space for calibrating 10:38 yes, i for got about clamping slot 😜 15:58 yes, t-track are much better for this purpose, but i didn't have that so here is my solution. One day i will rebuild it for sure :) 16:10 making bolts for t-track from wide head furniture bolts. 18:00 i decided to glue up aluminum pipe in one of plywood pieces to fix it there securely. 18:25 assembling 19:11 angle calibrating 19:28 whe the piece you cut is perfectly square, set up the nonius part in position 0 degrees 19:44 making a quick set up holes. I made them for 0, 10, 22.5, 30 and 45 degrees Hope this information was helpful Support GRINwood: https://www.etsy.com/listing/774944100 GRINwood shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/GRINwood Follow GRINwood: https://www.facebook.com/GRINwoodprojects/ https://twitter.com/DakhnoGregory https://www.instagram.com/grinwooddesigns/ https://www.pinterest.com/GRINwooddesigns/ Music Silent Partner - Parasail https://youtu.be/oL6lV3fMEy4 Cloud Patterns - Silent Partner https://youtu.be/wCvgc6Gahk4 St. Francis by Josh Lippi & The Overtimers Video Link: https://youtu.be/JMeb8ldBDTs .
