My 7 year old Makita strongly disagrees with you. It was only $350. I'd say I get my moneys worth.

This statement makes absolutely no sense. If cutting wood kills your chopsaw, I'd have to say - either you don't know how to cut with a chopsaw or you've got the worst chopsaw in the world.

Post your YouTube link so others can see what we're talking about...

If you have a lot of cutting to do when framing,a chopsaw works great...
On the other hand if I have 200 + wall studs to cut I just order them 92 1/4 or 104 1/4 what ever the case may be.

in texas with framing and cornish people will do it for 3.00 a foot. What do yall think about that? Just laber

garage studs, collar ties, floor joist, door plus windo packages, strapping, siding, flooring, this jig would take up as much room as a chopsaw stand. no need for the chop saw.Think of all the types of sheathing that needs to be cut to four feet. not to mention the comercial applications.

joasis

So post the link...BTW, I am not dogging your invention, just going off my own experience.

Chops saws get set up in the morning along with all the rest of the tools. My set up takes about 5 min. to get up. Why would I take the time to set that up for one garage!?! I could have had half the studs cut in the time it took to set that thing up.

Sheathing, they make a guide for $50 -$60 bucks that requires no set up and clamps to any 4' stock.

As far as commercial applications, I don't see any, please explain.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's pretty slick, I just wouldn't buy one.

Mike,

I feel bad for you...

Two sites, and not a positive comment to be had.

I think it's great that you are trying to help the trades with something new, but honestly, I think you have invented problems to suit your solution.

You have been given a million different reasons why no one would want to buy this, but you keep throwing out "but, but, buts..."

A friend of mine invented a tool that is unbelievably useful. He spent over $90,000 getting this $100 tool to market. Anyone that's used it says it changes the way they work because it works so well. Yet, I think he's only sold a total of 500 of them over the course of 4 years.

Swanson bought the "Framing Wizard" from my best friend's Uncle, Robert Meitzler. It is a hinged framing square. You can get it at bLowes. It's blue. I have no idea how it would help me go any faster or more accurately.

I have adapted to what I have on hand and I too am working on a couple of things but I can't say until they get patented. Well one is a calc that smokes the CM.

Good luck to you...and keep thinking...I like visionaries. Most of Edison's inventions never amounted to much...but as I sit here with my room well lit, typing this, the RIGHT invention can change the world.

I don't get it, guy. Nathan hasn't chimed in yet saying nay, you're getting into a fairly involved discussion regarding your invention, but yet you won't post the link to your YouTube video so people here can see what the hell we're talking about...

I haven't posted the link yet 'cause I don't want to step on your toes but it's not like its a big secret - is it? You haven't pulled the link off the JLC forum yet so I'm thinking not...

Wallmaxx has it - some inventions don't work but that shouldn't stop you. I said it earlier - try, try again until you get something that really works. I'm honestly not doggin' you or pissing in your Cheerios, I just don't think this particular invention is going to make you any money. You came to these forums to get real world feedback... you're gettin' it. Unfortunately, it's not what you wanted to hear.

For what it's worth to ya, good luck, man!

Mac

joasis

This can be a rough bunch, but why not get the critique now? It may inspire you further...so post the link.

I am impressed....I can see where this would have an application, but not what you are doing with it....siding, sheeting....where precise cuts would be necessary, but then again, a saw guide would do the same thing...what I would work on would be an improved saw guide system, with the rails...there will always be guys who love gadgets.

This is just MHO.

Thanks joasis, The guard rail is an other modification I plan on making. but if your hauling a radial arm saw around can you see maybe a lighter.better designed tool like this to replace it? with a big foot saw you would be able to cut 32 2x4s.

john5mt

maybe on side have something to butt the ends into so you dont have to make a cut on both sides. that way you can just plop that thing on a stack of of wood, push then against the one side and start cutting.

I was just trying to ignore it . Why? Because technically it's against our rules but I wanted to see it
