This makes so much sense! Thanks for posting, I’ll have one made by the end of the day.

Looks like a keeper! Will be raiding my scrap bin for this easy but effective build in the near future ! Thanks for the post .

Now that is using the old noggin :-)) Well done – great solution for those that don’t have a jointer in their shops.

@patron: Thanks, David. I never thought about using such jig on my jointer. After a second thought, I like to keep the futher end of my jointer’s knives for clean cuts while using the closest end for usual cuts. However, I’ll definitively make a jig for my jointer.

Sharing, that’s what this site is all about!

Best,

Belated Happy Thanksgiving to all of you Northern friends up there in Canada : )

Great jig Serge
Now if you lay the sander down flat and attach the jig differently you could use it for longer pieces
as David would use it on the jointer .

Thanks Kiefer

Aahhh! Why didn’t the skewed idea hit me earlier. I have always made the effort to bounce around the paper for even wear. The skew does away with the effort. Nice one. Definitely on my short list.

Thank for the great tip Serge!

Nice idea Serge, the thoughts of the even use and heat on the belt is clever.

Great idea. Thanks for posting that. Now I have another jig to build. I even have enough cutoffs to do it without buying wood.

Serge, I am intrigued by the idea of using a jig like this on a jointer. Have you actually done this or seen it done successfully? It seems like the jig would get consumed with each pass across the jointer. Am I missing something obvious?

once set on the jointer
it lets the knives cut in a ‘spiral’
or ‘shearing’ way
instead of 90 deg. ‘slap cut’

the jig is fixed (clamped)
not moved with the board

Thanks again for one of many of your great ideas.
