Thanks, ordered the jig before the video was over. Look forward to using it making some projects. Appreciate it a lot and subscribed now, look forward to more vids from you.
Thanks; just bought this, looking for a tip or two. One thing…I think the miter bar is supposed to extend past the far end of the jig, not the near end. Don’t know if it matters. My challenge: when ripping a board to create a straight edge, mounting it on the jig works when the piece is narrow. But for ripping (vs. tapering) the instructions say to remove the miter bar and lay the board flat on the table, jig up against the fence (to allow for wider pieces). But I find in that setup, the clamps don’t really hold the board down firmly against the table, which allows the board to shimmy. And mounting a wide, heavy board onto the jig also creates a lot of side-to-side imbalance. Still experimenting; appreciate any thoughts.
Looks like a great accessory. I’m curious - what is the advantage of using the miter slot as opposed to making a simpler jig that runs against the fence with no rail for the miter slot?
Great video! That's pretty nice. I built one a while ago. Mine is kind of a pain to use. This one looks really smooth. I have some cheep rollers but I really want to build a nice outfeed table. That would really help.
This is definitely not made for wide boards. I gather you can take off the straight edge and put a price about 7-8” under the clamps but with the straight edge I would say 4-5”. Again it’s perfect for straightening one side of pallet wood! Thanks for watching!!
You could easily rip a wider board by removing the miter bar and running the jig along your fence. But it would have to be a relatively SHORT board. The reason is that the longer the board, the heaver it will be. A heavy board that extends well past the edge of the jig will tip the whole jig over toward the blade, and you'd have to hold the jig down as you pass it through the cut--which is not ideal. You could possibly support the overhanging piece by placing another board beneath it, assuming you can keep the underlying board in place while the project piece passes over it. I'm still figuring this out, as ripping a straight edge on longer boards is one of the primary reasons I got this jig.
Looks like a nice jig, but why not make one yourself for less than a quarter of the cost of that one? Those are probably the easiest jigs to make with hold down claps, or dovetail clamps or t-track.
I have nothing against making one. But sometimes I do like to pay pass all that and just support a company and test their products. This is one of those times. Thanks for watching!!!
At this moment, it is 67.99 . Ordered one. Thanks for the review.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!!!

Absolutely awesome! Thanks so much for all the support!!! Hope you like the Jig as much as I do!

Home Depot sale was $62. Very good deal for 2024
Wow! That’s awesome! Love mine!

The instruction actually says to not use the miter slot for jointing. So he's using the jig wrong.
I so need one of these, I have been saying I was going to make one but for $89 I mind as well buy this
I could have made one too but for the money…. Why not! And it’s pretty! LoL
Great video! That's pretty nice. I built one a while ago. Mine is kind of a pain to use. This one looks really smooth. I have some cheep rollers but I really want to build a nice outfeed table. That would really help.
Thanks bud! For $85 it’s almost not even worth the hassle to try to make one! LoL. Already used mine twice!
How well would this work with a 65" long piece of wood I'm trying to fabricate some baseboard out of?
Very difficult I think! I would use a track saw for something that long.
And if you bought the “jointing” table saw blade, thin kerf…… can this jig cut a board 80” long?
80” is quite long for this honestly. I would be lying if I said yes or no though! I’m not sure!
@@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman I hear ya….but…. That jig seems nice for shorter pieces….
how wide can you make the boards with this jig?

Just checked the price on Amazon. $182 now. Price had doubled since you made this video. So I made an identical one for about $50 in material
67.99 at Home Depot - just ordered one.
Good Deal!!! Thanks for watching!
Great stuff! Any regrets?
Not at all! Works great and used it the other day for a quick cut! Love it!
Thanks much for the feedback. @@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman
You can make your own jig
Definitely could!
👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Yoooooo!!! Thanks for liking and sharing bud!

I can respect that!
