TS Saws cut great stair stringers

Harry,

I could see a shorter version of the Rail Dogs and a sacrificial cut board (narrower than the siding) working even better for vinyl just because on long angled cuts there would need to be outboard support at a strange angle. Rock on Dude!

Awesome video, Peter...love the block of wood tip to mark the plunge...so simple! [thumbs up] [thumbs up]  Did you reverse the board and use the TS to cut the corners out or did you use a jigsaw?  I think you mentioned it in the video, but the TS75 would probably make the entire cut on that thickness I would guess.

Where this approach to repetitive angle cutting will benefit me is when cutting siding.  I have a client that has a lot of siding that intersects  2:12 roofs.  The angle cut is extremely long and a pattern is great, but this approach will save me time and make money.  (My guess is that Brice might be smiling.)

Ding ding! Light bulb just illuminated for me!

Thanks.  I never cut out the remaining in the video but using a jig saw or a handsaw would be the normal way.  A TS-75 would have left much less in the corner.  The original version I shot used 3/4" thick material because I had it, and the pieces fell out which made me alter my thinking of how to make the second cuts.

A couple of years ago I used my ATF 55 and the shortest rail (I think it is 32"+/-) and a couple of round stops bolted under to cut a set of stair stringers.  I have cut them in the past using a Milwaukkee circular saw and a speed square.  The ATF and Rail were definitely a better solution.  I did not think of putting a ral stop on the top of the rail, i just made sure I stayed back a little from the line intersetions.  A handsaw finished into those corners.

Peter's idea to make use of the plunge looks even better.  I'm glad I thought of it  :

By the way, I went by the shop and shot this image.  I suspect that people might be more inclined to think about this for finished skirt boards, this is how much wood needs to be cut out of the intersection if you use 3/4" stock.  The pencil lines were not used in making the cuts - rather just for illustration.

If you like accurate beautiful cuts on stair stringers try one of the TS saws using Qwas Rail Dogs!  Works great!

Really great video.  I subscribed so I can re-eaxamine next time I have to do stairs.

Thanks!  I have a couple more planned on different stuff.
