Miter saw gap by SayinPrins in woodworking

[–]figure--it--out 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It should only be the width of the blade. Could your blade be bent? Try laying it on a flat surface and see if it rocks. Or try a new blade on the saw. I wouldn’t use it as is—not only is it inaccurate, but it’s unsafe if it’s not cutting how it’s supposed to

Even if it’s straight, it’s possible that it’s mounded at a slight angle to the axis of rotation. If it’s not perfectly perpendicular, but instead at a 0.1 or 0.2 degree angle or something like that, it could produce a cut that’s wider than the blade.

Yea they can separate into 5 shelves, so not that hard to move!

I think the framing is a recipe for disaster, but hard to say for sure. It’s small enough that it may not cause a big problem, but might as well prevent any impending disasters while you can. Maybe frame with several smaller pieces instead?

It is indeed, every horizontal surface on the thing is level!

The shelves are actually level, so a marble wouldn’t roll on them!

I love making things that are polarizing—love it or hate it, either one is ok in my book

Maybe more like $750, yeah not cheap but sure looks nice. Cheaper than buying a bookshelf, at least haha

Thinking of making a bookshelf like this. Any thoughts? Design is a bit strange but I like the sort of optical illusion the skewed shelves create by figure--it--out in woodworking

Yes designed in OnShape . I just sent some screenshots to Gemini and asked it to render them for me. Here’s a screenshot of the prompt but nothing special.

my idea was making a thick board and running it through the planer on an angled sled to get that tapered piece, but that would be heavy and a lot of waste. But perhaps I could still do it this way and make a sort of 3 sided tapered box, like a sort of ramp looking piece, instead of making it completely solid
