Project Ideas

Business

Mobile Crown and Trim Service

Offer on-site installation of crown molding, baseboards, and casings. The cordless option and dust collection make you jobsite-friendly in finished homes, while the saw’s large nested crown and base capacities plus double-bevel accuracy speed inside/outside returns and long runs.


Custom Floating Shelves and Mantels

Produce seamless mitered box shelves and hollow beam mantels that wrap grain around corners. The 12-inch blade and 16-inch crosscut capacity handle wide stock, and the CUTLINE system ensures precise, repeatable miters for clean, glue-ready joints. Sell made-to-order sizes with install services.


On-Site Picture Framing Pop-up

Set up at markets, galleries, or client homes to build custom frames on demand. Positive miter stops deliver perfect 45s, and the dual-power (corded/cordless) setup adapts to any venue. Bundle matting and hanging hardware for higher margins and offer rapid turnaround.


Slat Wall and Acoustic Panel Installs

Specialize in wood slat feature walls and acoustic panels for offices and home theaters. Batch-cut uniform slats and angled end details quickly with the sliding carriage and high-visibility scales. Market dust-controlled, quiet installs and offer design-to-install packages.


Flat-Pack Planter and Garden Bed Kits

Manufacture modular planter boxes and raised beds with clean mitered corners. Use the saw’s repeatable settings to mass-produce consistent parts, then ship as DIY kits with hardware and instructions. Upsell finishes and seasonal bundles to landscapers and homeowners.

Creative

Miter-fold Keepsake Box

Cut 45-degree bevels on all four sides of a board to create a seamless grain-wrapped box. The double-bevel feature lets you keep the workpiece flat while switching bevel directions, and the CUTLINE blade positioning helps align perfect corners. Add decorative spline keys by resetting the miter angle to strengthen the joints.


Segmented Polygon Wall Clock

Make a 12-segment clock ring by cutting matching miters (15 degrees on each end) for a clean 360-degree circle. Use the adjustable miter scale with positive stops for repeatability, and add a slight bevel to each segment for a faceted 3D look. The sliding action maintains accuracy on wider segments.


Herringbone Accent Wall

Batch-cut slats with precise 45-degree ends and consistent lengths for a herringbone or chevron pattern. The sliding capacity and 16-inch crosscut width speed up production, while the CUTLINE system and positive stops keep miters uniform across hundreds of pieces.


Crown-Lit Floating Cove Shelf

Build floating cove shelves using nested crown molding and an LED channel. The saw’s vertical capacity for crown nested (7-1/2 in) simplifies complex inside/outside returns with mirrored bevels, producing clean joints for seamless light reveals.


Faceted Planter Set

Create hexagon or octagon planters by cutting repeated miters (e.g., 22.5 degrees for octagons) and using the sliding feature to handle taller sides. Double-bevel cuts let you make top chamfers and bottom bevels without flipping stock, yielding crisp, geometric planters.
