Introduction: Knex Miter Saw V 2
Hello everyone!
Here is the new version of my miter saw. The meganism is updated which makes sure the blade guard goes up and down faster wile moving the saw part. After I saw 39 shadowman's miter saw i was like: I can build such a thing to and tada here it is. I really hope you guys like it and have fun with it after building.
Here is a video of it

Step 2: The Saw Base
This is the base on which the saw will rest. It costst a lot of blue rods but just get started and then the first step is done
Step 3: The Meganism
This is the most complicated part of the saw but it isn't a lot of work so let's get building
Step 4: The Base Top
This is the most easiest step in the instructable so just look carefully at the pictures and the base is done !!!!!
Step 5: The Plating
This part of the innstructable isn't necesarry but it just makes the saw looks nicer
Step 6: The Saw, Part 1
This is the first part of the which also has the motor
Step 7: The Saw, Part 2
This is the upper part of the saw. This is also the part in wich the blade and the blade guard will be.
Step 8: Attaching the Saw to the Base
Just attach the saw to the base
Step 9: The Rubber Bands and the String
Just put the rubber band where it says to but READ THIS: THE STRING MUST BE AT HIS MOST THIGHT WHEN THE SAW IS UP
Step 10: You Are Finished!!!
Congragulations, you finished the saw. Now turn the motor on and press it down and see how the blade guard goes up.
Have fun with it. You may put it on the internet but you must give credits to me.
