Thank you for the honest demonstration and review of the spline jig. I think there will always be those who will criticize building jigs instead of buying, but I love the simplicity and accuracy of the Woodpeckers and Incra products. I have the Woodpeckers coping sled for my router table, and it is definitely worth every penny I paid for it.
Glad I could provide some useful info, I’m in total agreement, this sled doesn’t take anything away from building your own but rather an option if you don’t want to build and for me at the very least have an aesthetically beautiful tool that functions just as well as any DIY jig, as I say, “it’s horses for courses” everyone has there own requirements 👍
i'm still on the fence about this thing. the kickback issue doesn't exist on my DIY spline jig. unrelated: nice to see someone else who went through the nightmare of a serious palm tattoo.
Thanks for the demo… I’m currently flirting with the idea of getting that spline jig. I’m not sure if this would’ve helped with that particular box but you could probably get a little more stability by mounting stop blocks on the bottom track… the track(s) facing towards the blade… in addition to the ones on the tracks facing the ceiling.
Yeah I was thinking this very thing, another option which I regretfully forgot to mention is you can place clamps on the aluminium extrude which would keep the stock in place securely 🤟 I think if you’re at a place where you are considering the jig, it’s as good as bought 😁
@@woodcraft_czmy woodpeckers spline jig arrived a couple days ago. I got lucky with woodpeckers putting it on sale for $20 less the day I bought it. Just got it fully assembled and am about to make my first splines with it. Seems like the “wide” setup will be the most versatile, and easiest to keep accurate with blade height due to the work piece being closest to the table saw surface. I make a fair amount of picture frames so I know it’s going to get lots of use. Thanks for encouraging me to get it… and if you happen to stumble upon new use cases I hope you can update us all. Cheers from California.
Yes it might take some time and kick up a lot of dirt but you definitely can remove roots from a plant/tree/shrub, will take some time though but you should get there in the end 👍
Maybe I am way off here, but I would have design it to fit into the miter slots so you had less directions to push. You would only have had to push forward. For router table , removable miter tracks.
Thanks. I put mine together almost all the way-but wanted to see if anyone else had interpreted it in a slightly different way. Interesting that we say in the US spline with a hard i, i.e., eye, not ee. I had bought a jig from Rockler made of mostly plastic-and it is not very good. Too much wobble in the tracks. It is for the router-and did not make very good cuts. I hope the Woodpecker model does much better.
I think it might be my poor vocabulary I’m not sure the way I say it is correct 😅🤔 now that you mention it I could be saying wrong the entire video 😅 but yes it’s very sturdy indeed 🤟
I had a bowed scale too and got it replaced. The replacement is a lot more flat, but still not entirely flat. I gave up because I'm using it for woodworking but it made me a little disappointed

I heard that. 🤣 10:35
Don’t know what you’re talking about 😅😆

haha palm tattoos are definitely no fun

Does the jig comes all you show on the video or you bought other things like the stops separately?
Oggi procedo per l’acquisto. Spero di trovarlo in Italia. Grazie .
I hope you enjoy your purchase 🙏
What is a rooter ?
Is it something you use to remove roots from a plant / tree /shrub ?
Yes it might take some time and kick up a lot of dirt but you definitely can remove roots from a plant/tree/shrub, will take some time though but you should get there in the end 👍

I’m 100% behind you on this, I initially thought this was the case

I'm from the UK, it's the first time I've heard it pronounced 'spleen' too. Slightly irritating!
@@chrisward1008 damn, I was going for highly rather then slightly, il do better next time I promise 😅
@@woodcraft_cz Why don't you do zero irritating, would be better.
I had a bowed scale too and got it replaced. The replacement is a lot more flat, but still not entirely flat. I gave up because I'm using it for woodworking but it made me a little disappointed
Yes that would make me disappointed especially considering the price point
Spleen jig? It's spline jig. Spline like spine.
