Tapering Jig

Can you show it on the table saw with something in it ready to be tapered? I think I get it but visuals would help me understand. It certainly looks nicely crafted.

I have a metal taper jig I got from Vermont American I think. It scares me very time I use it (not often) as it has no material hold down.

Yours looks a good deal safer with the hold downs.

No problem Bob. Be right back with a pic….

Really nice. Great pics. Just added it to my favorites.

Joe, very nice jig: I like the “T” slots for adjustability. What did you use for the hold downs?

Very nice jig. Thanks for the folllow up Chief. I may just modify my panel cutting sled with some T-track to mimic this. Great idea.

Very cool – what do ya know – I JUST made a taper sled today! :) After seeing yours, I’ll be adding a couple push blocks as well as a hardwood runner on the bottom.

Nice!
