All I do is clamp long boards down to the table at the angle I need. I have never seen the need for a jig. If the boards are square and secured well you shouldn’t run into any problems. I use push boards so I don’t put my hands over the blade. But I see how a nice jig could help in setup.

Go to woodgears.ca/cove/index.html This might be something to consider if you do not want to spend money for a jig.

Not a jig, but if tablesaw cove methods interest you,
here’s a cove calculator you might want to check out:

Many thanks fellahs, I’ll have a look at the links you have offered, as mentioned I would like something with a little permanance and easy of set up.

I tried the boards method wseand, it just seemed a right fiddle to to get the initial board at the correct angle, clamp to the table top and line up the second board.

I have only made a couple of items requiring an oversize moulding, never the less I’m sure I’ll need to make more in the future, hence my reluctance to spend the money at this stage. I thought I would give it a go first off as I seem to have the majority of the hardware anyway.

Don’t spend your money on that gizmo. It’s just mimicking two boards clamped to a table saw ( they don’t even have to be terribly straight). It’s a solution in search of a problem.

I guess so, thats why I was hoping to build one of my own, shouldn’t be too difficult, just thought someone may have a had one so I could get some dimensions. Failing that, from the picture, I’ll make it up as I go along
