ON REQUEST...A JIG FOR INCRA JIG

Project by odie posted 737 days ago 1859 views 9 times favorited 13 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Honest someone asked for this. This is a jig that takes the place of soled push blocks. Those things are down right dangerous and clumsy. On a router table or jointer they slip when the work gets bogged down. I saw the light and built this one week after I bought the Incra jig.

This is constructed with a simple dovetail box for stength. On the bottom there are two 1/8” thick pads that hold the work in place. One of these is fixed and one is attached to a moveable block that rides inside the box. The moveable block is attached to a threaded rod that acts as a clamp. I don’t want to draw it out for you. The photographs (I hope) will work in place of drawings. Everytime a piece of wood is taken along that fence at that router bit, it is done so very controlled. This jig will handle up to 10” stock, which is plenty for the trim pieces on the corners of the double-double dovetail joints. It is easy to make it longer with longer sides and threaded rod.

Give the requests a rest…my one finger is bloody from typing.

Looks like a great idea to me. I’ll bet it works like it is supposed to. Have fun on the other side of the web.

I was confused when I read your write-up. But the pictures cleared it up.

Yhanks.

I agree those padded blocks are a pain. This is a neat idea. Thanks for sharing.

Ok, I’m guilty of asking you to post it. That will keep my fingers clear of high speed spinning stuff when making corner post dovetails.

Thanks!

After I come back to life from turkey over indulgence, it is off to the shop to make one.

Super idea, maybe you should have contacted the Incra company and sold them the rights! Hahaha.

I’m definitely going to add this to my very limited number of jigs. I’m very selective of my jigs because I don’t have a lot of space to store stuff and I don’t want to take the time, components, and material to build something that I won’t use often.

This jig is a definite add to my small number.

Thanks for the idea Odie. I will add that one to my to do list. Looks a very safe alternative to a push stick.

That is a great idea. You may never know how many injuries you may have saved by sharing your jig. That looks like something that could make you millions. Patent that idea!

I have always hated the push block that came with my Incra jig and plan to build a jig like yours. Thanks for sharing.
