I would get this with the slider if your building more than one unit www.harborfreight.com/10-inch-sliding-compound-miter-saw-98199.html and if your not an everyday use contractor, it looks good, you can cut multiple sticks, and the price is way right. Yes, set a depth stop for repeated cuts, just remember, do not lift the blade out of the cuts until it comes to a complete stop, otherwise, blamo! the cutoffs will go flying, and you could jack the blade and yourself. |

Tony no I prefer a small bandsaw, I have mass produced a wall out of 1 inch .75in aprox in real measurement. As well as 1.5in. I find the bandsaw
1. Thin kerf of blade less dust and less waste.
2. Less flying small pieces and cleaner cut.
3. I like the simple pushing motion with a fence and on small stuff find it the quickest over all.
For the 1in I can get Scrap from the local hardwood supply for free and even ripping feels safer on small stock.
But it's horses for courses, You being a contractor would probably be more comfortable on a Miter, but you use one everyday! Hey if I could I would just buy some lumber and have my neighbor cut it all with the CNC at work!
The inverse jig is this :
Lets say your max piece length is 7 and your other lengths are 6,,5,4,3,2,1 and 0
You would build a jig where all the 0 spots on your diffuser would have a 7 on the jig
all the 1s a 6
All the 2s a 5
All the 3s a 4
Ect
So that you simply fill the spaces and can glue pieces side to side . Plus you have a flat bottom for ease of glueing and for uhber quick bottom screwing nailing or stapling .
For most the harbour freight Tony referenced would be great, but I would recommend getting a Freued or similar high quality blade!

Please excuse my ignorance on studio diffusion, but have any of you tried using faux panels such as the one pictured? There are probably lots of reasons why its not a good idea, so let it rip!  |

It would work for some high frequencies. You need more difference in the heights of the blocks to affect the midrange and lower frequencies. |

Do a google search for sound Diffusor calculator and you can see the type of height range you need to be effective over a broad range of frequencies.

Not so good, you could grab some of this, and half circle bend it, mount it to the wall, and fill the back with cotton insulation. will work great as a radial diffusor and bass absorber for really cheap. I think there like $15 for 6'tx3'w piece. hope this helps  |
