      Hi Leroy. Sorry I’ve had it built for a while. It’s just some scraps with a notch in the bottom board the size of the shim you want to make. And each table saw will require different measurements so kind of hard to make a cutlist that would work with every saw. If I can be of any more help let me know.

    Got one of those that rides along the fence. Like your idea of making a runner to ride in the miter slot. Why do you make the shims so fat at the top? mine are only about 5/16" and 7" long

      Mine used to run along The fence too. I don’t mind the fat side bc I use two at a time one from each side under a cabinet leg then can raise evenly. I glue and nail them together then trim flush as needed.

      @@saldonato find that if something is that far off, I use a flat piece of material and then use my thinner ones to make up the difference.

      @@Belg1970 just another thing to carry. Hate to say I find floors out 1/4-3/4 pretty regularly so two stacked so that they raise flat works well

    Cool idea. What's the angle of the shim?

      Not 100%. I made it 3/4” on the back side tapered to nothing. I most of the time use two at a time so they will raise squarely to the cabinets evenly.
