Jigs, been meaning to do these for a while

[Rennie Heuer]

Got tired of improvising and decided it was time I made a few jigs for procedures I do regularly. Nothing fancy, but necessary.

The “L” fence is adjustable so it can be used flat on the table or raised up to be used in straight edge ripping.

The resaw fence has clearance for the blade guides so I can use it down to about 2”. Both of these jigs attach using the Rockler fence clamps.

The taper jig is a 50% scale of the one designed by Stumpy Nubs. I liked the design but thought it was too large for smaller parts that I more often need to cut.

Great looking jigs, Rennie. Did you add the green material or did you buy the laminated stock?

Its phenolic faced plywood. I used to pick it up at my local Woodcraft in Idaho. Not sure who else might stock it. A little pricey perhaps, but slick and flat which makes it good for fences and some jigs.

Thanks, Rennie. Woodcraft still sells it. I thought I remembered someone selling it in a red color too. It looks like the plywood is fairly high quality.

Both jigs look like handy additions for the kind of work you do, Rennie. Nicely done.

 

[Darren Wright]

Both look really useful, thanks for sharing.

 

[Dave Hawksford]

They both do look really useful Rennie. Thanks

Very nifty. Should make a lot of your work easier and more accurate. (not that you weren't accurate before. )

Nice jigs all around! I especially like the resaw fence, that's a good idea. I have a high/low fence but sometimes the low is to low and the high is to high.

I've made good use of the resaw fence and some use of the taper gig. They've both come in handys and work quite well. I've yet to use the "L" fence, but have some ideas for it in the coming months.

Cool stuff Rennie.

Have you tried the 5 or 7 lobed knobs vs the wing nuts?

They would be an improvement, I’m sure. These are just what I had on hand left over from some variety pack I purchased many years ago.
