Shown in the video:
This 13 minute video details the assembly of WOOD Magazine’s Universal Tablesaw Jig.
The hardware kit shown in the video is from Schlabaugh & Sons, but you could easily make one yourself. The laser engraved table is nice, but you could reproduce that too.
This woodworking video shows how to construct the kit and explains the basics of the how the Universal Tablesaw Jig operates.
The laser engraved table accurately sets angles for miter cuts on the tablesaw. The alignment pins making setting the jig for 90 degree crosscuts a breeze. The jig also operates as a taper jig.
I didn’t think I’d like this jig as much as I do. It’s dead on accurate for mitering on the tablesaw!

Thanks for the assembly video. You failed to enlighten us as to the cost of this kit. Also, your lighting at the bandsaw did not show the pattern you had glued for the hold down. More lighting would have helped, possilbly. I look forward to part two.

Hi Oscorner,
I think the kit is overpriced. They sell just the main table that is laser engraved with all the angle marks for $25. I think buying just this main table is the way to go (because the kit is $109). Then get t-track and the other various hardware from Rockler or somewhere cheaper.
Here’s a link to the kit:

There’s an option at the bottom to just purchase the main table.
Thank you for the feedback on the video. I totally agree with you on the shortcomings. I made the video a while ago and have since learned a lot about better production methods.
