Hi Paul. here as promised are a few jigs I have made for the table saw.
First is of the straight edge jig for waney boards:
I didn't have any waney edge board but put this in to give you some idea:
Next up is the tapering jig which is made from two lengths joined at the front end with a hinge. Angle is adjusted with the knob and slide affair on the top.
This rides against the fence as is the case with the straight edge jig:
Another handy attachement to the table saw is the outfeed table and mine is again home made to fold down when not in use:
In it's up position it gives me more support for longer lenghts of timber:
This table pivots up onto a swinging arm with an adjustment to level the table:
I can't claim credit for this one as the idea is Steve Maskery's although it is a modification on his.
Next up is a feather board to hold stock tight to the fence. This one also doubles it's use on my router table utilising the same size track as is on the table saw. Worth a thought if you are making jigs for your machinery.
Last but by no means least are puch sticks to save those precious fingers:
These are just a few of the ones I have made over the years but they are quickly made and do such a great job it is worth having a few around. They do get chewed up a bit in use as you can imagine.
Well there you are Paul, just a few of the jigs I have made in the past for the table saw. I have made many many more for the router and other machines in my collection as needs must. i do hope I have not been trying to teach my mother to suck eggs so to speak but do hope you find this post useful. I am sure there will be many more people on the forum who will give you information on jigs they have also made for their own situations. If you need any more info please ask, after all that is what we are here for. All the best, :wink:
