Hey Drew,

I’ve got a miniature version of this jig on my handplane “shooting” board.

Good job!

Looks interesting. Might have too try something like this.

Nice jig, I might do that myself and set it up so I can adjust it for different angles, great job

-- Martin ....always count the number of fingers you have before, and after using the saw.

Good looking jig. I have been using a similar one for a long time. Yours is a lot better looking than mine. Just a note to share, I did put slots in the base piece to be able to move it forward a little as the edge gets less than crisp from use. Also added a wooden clamp arm with a pivot bolt a little over 5” from the fence which allows for clamping both edges of the work piece using it and a hand clamp on the fence edge. If your work piece is too wide just remove the arm and clamp w/ another hand clamp for that side.

Very nice, looks a lot like the one I’m using right now.

Nice Jig!

I really like these because you don’t have to reset the blade.

I agree, tilting the blade requires to many outside help to make sure the blade is the exact angle you need it to be. I know I could have done more to make the jig more versitle, however if I make it to where it changes the angel then my zero clearance association that I have made with the blade will no longer be zero clearance. So that is why I have it fixed. I thought about making a 22 1/2 degree jig too for corner cabinet faceframes or angled countertops that have a corner cutoff. It could happen???!!!! :)

VERY NICE AND SIMPLE TO MAKE AND USE.

WHEN I make one for my shop, it is with grateful thanks to you.

Drew and LJ’s who have used this type of jig,

In your experiences how effective is this jig when the miters are put together? Do you get accurate results? Do you achieve better results with this jig than you did tilting the blade?

At the present time I tilt the blade to make 45 degree miters for boxes and such, but usually 2 of the 4 corners have some error and I would like to eliminate this error, is this the jig for me?

Thanks all!
Mike

Nice jig, Drew!

The accuracy is in the preparation. If you take your time making the jig you can get never fail miters. I love this jig. I know that my jig is as close if not right on 45 degrees and my blade is at dead center from the table so I will never miss.

Sweet jig—could also double as a bookstand. :-)
