Thin Rip Jig

Just curious… couldn’t that washer have been Epoxied to the bolt head instead of welding?

Maybe JB Weld would work?

I don’t have a welder…

Nice, simple design!

Take a look at my website… There is another jig that does the same thing…

Joe,

Man, I like your jig! The addition of the feather board make it perfect! Wish I had thought of it :>).

Great Idea Lew. I was wonder about the JB Weld as well. Great Idea with the washer. Something I hadn’t thought about and the link over to the Hand Made knobs was excellent. Thanks!

This is what I do with the little wooden feather boards you get for a couple of dollars at(?). When the “feathers” break off, I make stops out of them like this. I just cut about 200, 1” corbels, to use for crown molding in my house, using a jig similar to this. If you don’t want to weld the washer on, grind the head of the bolt down to a thickness that will fit in the T slot with the washer on the other side of the head.

nice jig!

When the knob is tightened, it pulls up on the bolt to pinch the jig tight to the table. The places a lot of pressure on the washer. I have never used JB Weld and cannot speak to its’ strength. I have used silver solder to fasten the washer to the bolt and that is holding. I would have liked to use closet flange bolts but my miter slot is too wide.

Great Idea

Nice looking jig, Lew.

Instead of a washer, a piece of flat stock that will slip in the lower slot wont turn I think my delta the slot is about 1/8×7/8 . . . take 7/8 slices off of a 1/8×1 piece of black bar. Beware the fumes from the plating and galvanizing

Thanks for all of the kind words and “tweaks”

fredf- I thought about that with my saw but the lower slot is really “thin”. The washer just about fills the gap.

Nice jig, thanks for sharing I have been needing one of those but like you I am to cheap to buy something I could easily make. Thanks for sharing it with us.
