Spline Cutting Jig

looks good. also looksl ike something similar could be used to do dovetail splines on a router table.

I love the idea of putting a stop block on a t-track, I think I’m going to remake my spline jig the same way! Thanks for the idea.

Nicely designed jig. I’m going to have replace mine with something like yours.

Nice Jig

Looks GREAT…I think Charlie was looking for an upgrade to his latest jig ….Thanks for posting : )

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

Looks great. Two things you’ve done better than mine: the stop block and using both slots on the table.

-- Chris

Yes, using both slots helps to keep it moving smoothly without any binding.

The stop was added later. I was using a chunk of wood and a spring clamp. I got tired of messing with it, so out of laziness, I added the t-track and stop block. Much quicker and accurate!

Looks very useful…..simple construction…..even a I (the guy with all thumbs) could build and use it.
Good job.

-- Doug, New Mexico.......the only stupid question is one that is never asked!........don't fix it, if it ain't broke!

What Quentin said! Nice one!

Looks like I will have to take some pictures of my feather key jig, very much like yours except I installed a “no finger” barrier/cover. There is no way to accidently forget where the saw blade exits the jig on the backside and cause an accident. Even if you do, the area where the blade runs is completely enclosed. Only one suggestion for your jig. Install a “stability” strip on the topside, very front edge. Something taller than your max cut height. That way you have a “bridge” to keep the jig from warping/twisting on the front (new strip) and the back (your existing cradle).

Thanks Jef, that’s a good idea. I need to do the same thing to my crosscut sled. Since I do a lot of 0 degree to 90 degree cuts, I now have a gaping hole at the far end, and eventually, it may break thru, and there would go my stability and alignment!
