Does one have to modify the saw or sliding backguards to obtain a 15 inch cut at 90 degrees and no bevel, and if so, How??

you need to lift the object your cutting up at the end to complete a 15" square cut

I find that the cutter goes from 90 degrees down to 10 degrees, and that if you tilt the whole unit another 10 degrees or more, then you can get 90 or more degrees tilt. The unit is heavy, but tolerable... johns91@astound.net

Hi Cai - On angles yes, dunno about molding. Make sure you have the right blades. Why not a jig saw?

The trick here is to screw a board to the existing fence to make a new, taller fence. That's what the holes in the existing fence are for. It will probably be necessary to trim the added-on fence to allow the saw body to come down. Also, you lose a bit of cutting width but that's probably OK with trim. How accurate your cutting angle is depends on how good your added-on fence is. A #2 construction-grade 1 x 6 (5 1/2 inches tall) might serve, or you might be better off using plywood, or a higher grade of lumber.

The max. cutting depth of this saw is 6 1/2 inches with the blade provided. As for steel posts, I think it was designed for timber framing wood. Abrasive cut off blade might work. Do they come in the 16 inch size?

Adding a piece of metal to make the stepped section of the arm a straight piece worked for me. I used a piece of metal that already had a small flange (0.10"), and cut it to the length needed to cover the steps on the guard arm. I attached it with a small screw. Saw works like it is supposed to now.

There is a roller guide the blade travels through to help keep it straight. No problems with shorter cuts but if you rip a long piece it doesn't work as well. A sharp blade and edge guide helps. This saw is better than any I had before. It does keep a 90 degree angle and doesn't drift due to the blade bending.

I don't have a Delta saw; however, I was able to make it ft the Ridgid saw without too much trouble. Had to drill a few new holes to make it fit. The reason for these guide rails are that you can get rid of the standard rip fence and get a Biesemeyer T style fence (it does not have a lcm on the rear). If you want to keep your regular (non T style fence), I can't see a reason to get these rails. Hope this helps.

I have one of these saws and NO it will not work with the BL1815 they will not go in the slot. There is a metal block that prevent it from going in... the reason for this is the BL1815 will get too hot and wear out too fast and heat kills batteries

Don't remember it coming with an edge guide. I haven't used it to make a clean 90 degree cut but if you're not coming from two outside edges I'd suspect it might be difficult. I would imagine you could make the 90 cut IF you cut the corner out to make the turn. It isn't a scroll saw but it is an excellent tool.

That is not the particular model I have. Having said that, The bases, at least that which I have, are welded construction. Therefore shortening would create considerable hassle. But I believe they have a mobile base, 50-2000 for a 36" saw

I had mine custom cut when I ordered it. Be sure that you have it cut the correct height for you personally. Perhaps someone with a saw can cut it for you. Just remove the tip, cut the necessary amount off, replace the tip and you're good to go.

I can't say for sure but I saw enough options on my installation for my bizemyer clone believe you could do it. I would be sure that you could return it if not feasible.I really like how mine works. It took me about 2 hours to install and I retuned my saw. I run it both right & left of the blade.

I think the Festool circular saw + track does angled cuts. I imagine some of the less-expensive options do as well. But this jig doesn't even make propper straight cuts, so please don't buy it.

Yes, it will. Just make sure when you get a new one that the blade is 90 degrees to the bed.Sometimes in transit they are handled roughly and the adjustment gets out of the perfect 90 degrees.Instructions come with the saw for adjusting this angle. Mine was 'right on' out of the box

I am no expert and I ran into this problem. It cut all the way expect 1/4 of an inch of my basebaord when held vertically against the fence. And with the single bevel just makes it even harder to get it right. I had to use a coping saw to cut the rest of the mdf baseboard. Does anyone have any tips for me?

I have the same exact saw, and the DL-1U fits perfectly. I could not be happier with my purchase! When you fit your plate, follow the instructions to a T! The plate has height adjusters as well as side and legnth adjusters that you need to set so that the plate is level and has NO SIDE OR END PLAY. HAPPY WOOD WORKING! And remember to remove the new plate before you tilt your blade, or you will bend your blade and make you kick yourself like I did!
