Bandsaw Sliding Table Jig.

Project by Karson posted 366 days ago 954 views 3 times favorited 10 comments Add to Favorites Watch

While making the Vintage Sleighs I needed a way to hold small pieces and to cut them safely.

So I made this jig.

Put a runner for the slot on the bottom.

Put the fence on at 90 deg. and use a block of wood clamped at the back to control the depth of cut.

In use cutting some frame blocks for the sleigh. The slots would be a 14 deg dado. I used the bandsaw and chisel.

It’s made with Baltic birch ply. 1/2” thick.

Nice, I was really wishing for something like this last time I was cutting table legs. I couldn’t wrap my head around the drift problem with different blades though. That and I didn’t want to stop work to do a jig. I like the idea though.

Drift would be a problem. But I’ve only noticed it when doing long cuttings. I.e. resawing

My use for this table is small croscuts because I don’t have a miter gauge and the slot is metric and a 3/4” guide rod won’t fit.

This is a nice post, Karson. I saw the reference in your sleigh project and was wondering if you were going to post something on this.

Thanks for the post Karson. This will help when having my youngsters working the bandsaw. I bought a 10” 1950’s Homecraft brand new in the box last year for my boys.(Chuckle) I think I will incorporate some kind of handle they can grip while pushing. They love to help me but they don’t realize the fear they strike in their father’s heart. I try not to let on but I’m sure they get the message about the consequences. At 9 and 6 their ambition and excitement far out weighs any common sense. Thanks again for the post.
