Not just a Miter Jig

162 days ago by jumbojack | 0 comments »

I built this miter jig and posted it a month or so ago. http://lumberjocks.com/projects/73645. It works better than I had hoped, but thats not all it does. I needed to cut some dowels all the same length and this little jig came to the rescue. I just set the stop and used the end of the jig as a stop for the saw. Sixteen dowels all the same length. Then I needed to drill some holes in some larger dowels. I brought the forstner bit down and centered in in the jig. Dropped in the 1 1/4” dowel knowing it was centered and bored with confidence. I used all of these dowels for this little project and another just like it. http://lumberjocks.com/projects/74969
