What happens here

For cuts requiring absolute perfection, the creator advises cutting the material slightly long (e.g., an extra 1/16th of an inch). This allows for a subsequent, extremely fine trim to the exact measurement. The reasoning is that you can always remove more material to reach the precise length, but once material is cut too short, it cannot be added back. This method prioritizes precision by leaving room for final adjustments.

Goal: Make cuts with absolute precision, allowing for final adjustments

Tools and materials

  • Miter Saw Ridgid — Making the initial slightly long cut and the final trim
  • Pencil — Marking the slightly long cut line
  • Tape Measure Milwaukee — Measuring the slightly long cut
  • Wood Board — The material requiring a precise cut

What they say

going to use a stop block. So, now every cut puts my blade on the waste side and gives me the correct finish side. And if I need something to be absolutely perfect, I'll keep it a 16th long cuz you can always take more off, but you can't add more. So, anytime you go to make a cut, make sure that you mark your waste side and always keep your blade on this side. Anyways, I got stuff to do. I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
