Thank you! I am not making a table, I am making a mailbox in the shape of a fire engine. The front of the engine's windshield is beveled or slanted. Your video is the only one on TH-cam that provides a method or jig to cut an extreme bevel on a wide piece.
GREAT project Colin. I like that you show the finished product first so viewers can choose to watch or not. And not simply give the ole "thumbs down". Also I like the use of hangar bolts in a situation like that. You get a better feel using wing nuts when putting in a shim and tightening the board.
I built this jig after watching your video. However, rather than trimming the oak piece that tops the fence, I left it much wider to help hold the tall vertical piece more square to the table. I did add a small cleat on the oak to make the fixture run along the fence. Then I added the final hardwood piece out at the end of the oak to ride on the table and hold the oak parallel to the top. This resulted in a very stable jig with no play along the fence, and great parallel and perpendicular stability.
Hey Colin, seems you always have information worth watching, and this is no exception. Using the adjustable bolts is really a great bit of knowledge. Thanks for sharing.
Another nice jig Colin. I had a similar issue keeping it square to the fence when I made a jig to slide on my fence a while back. I remade the jig top piece where it was overhanging the vertical piece and that seemed to take care of it. I also added blocks to keep the tall fence square which also helped. Thanks for sharing.
That hanger bolt idea is great! Don't know why I never thought of that when making similar jigs, but thanks. BTW, I've gotten tired of dealing with wing nuts and converted to star knobs on all jigs, much easier on the fingers when tightening and removing.
This is really interesting... a beautifully simple solution! (Gotta love simple!) I'm looking for a way to bevel 18" widths of 3/4 plywood for a dresser build... this seems to be the best option I've discovered yet for accurate, repeatable cuts. Thanks so much for all the thought you put into this and for sharing with us!
Yay! I asked Mr Wandel for something that could do this(how can i rip higher than 45deg safely) three years ago and just got a'not sure' in response. this is great. might adapt my spline jig. Cheers from the BC boy melting in Oz.
I recommend cutting a chamfer on the bottom edge or even both bottom edges of that MDF board, that will both stop it from catching on your miter slot and give sawdust a place to go so boards can still easily rest flat against it.
Colin I want to cut a 14.5 degree bevel on both ends of a piece of wood that is 2” on one end and 9” on the other end that is 14” long which makes it look like a triangle for a hexagon roof it has to be done free hand on the table saw and comments?
Have you ever used or considered a low-friction tape on both surfaces riding against the fence? I'm planning to make a tenoning jig of similar design that could also be used to make beveled cuts and have thought of using this tape. I like your use of the hanger bolts.
Hi colin nice jig im eager to make one of these I have some bevel cuts to do at 52 degrees once I have this jig how do I work out what angle to set the saw at ?
I know this is an old video but here goes anyways and hopefully I'll get help. I built this jig but for the life of me, i can't stop it from wobbling side to side... It either gets too tight or it wobbles... Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
Do you have a method for cutting LONG bevels, viz, on the long edge for a cabinet door? I don’t have trouble cutting bevels on short pieces but on the longer pieces.
Very informative video. Thanks for sharing. The jig can also be use for making wedges (the cut of parts) What kind of blade is best to use? Thin kerf and/or many teeth?
Great jig, like that a lot! Colin, do you have any tips for sharpening Forster bits? Bought a new set but quite a few have burrs on the inside of the cutting face. Many thanks Graham🇬🇧
The table saw used was a left tilt. Would this jig work on my right tilt saw or would the wood get pinched between the blade and the fence causing kickback?
Jointer-create 1 flat face. Planer-use on opposite face so that face is parallel to jointed face. Using jointer on second face doesn’t guarantee it will be parallel to the first face.
How do I get to Maple Street from here?🤔 Well, first...you need some gas, now there's a. GS station right around the corner. Or is your vehicle a diesel? Because if you need diesel..go to Maple Street. They got diesel...Now if it's gas...just go to the old white church at the end of the street...not the Catholic church, the Baptist...make sure it's the Baptist, otherwise you won't make it...Are you a Catholic? My mother was Catholic...Anyway, I'm getting off topic, aren't I? Once you get to the church, you'll want to take a left, and go 3 sets of lights ...at the post office, which is next to the bowling alley, take a left...do you bowl? I go bowling on Satudays with Butch Fitzwilliam and the boys...but there I go again...ha ha ....getting off topic....the gas.station is on the left, can't miss it...Now, where did you want to go again? 🤔
![I'm fully satisfied with this VERTICAL HOLDING JIG that I use most frequently [woodworking]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/xrT5hdw8i9I/mqdefault.jpg)

Thanks Colin, thats why I always have playing cards in my workshop, not just for poker.. good for incremental adjustments
Your channel makes me want to build jigs more than actual projects!
I can't believe you made this entire video without mentioning the concept of the "raised panel" in furniture making!!!
This is good for picture frames as well. Gives all sides a nice bevelled look rather than a boring flat face. 👍
Just made one of these and it works great! Can finally build the triangle shelves for the nursery. Thanks!
GREAT project Colin. I like that you show the finished product first so viewers can choose to watch or not. And not simply give the ole "thumbs down".

I’ve done this for several drawer fronts. It adds a nice detail.
You're an excellent teacher, very pleasant to listen to, and always clear instructions. Thank you Sir!
Thanks so much. Matching old drawer fronts, and didn’t want to chance mistakes by freehanding them with the blade so exposed. Exactly what I needed.

I like how everything is explained such that someone new to woodworking can easily use tips, tricks and jigs. Awesome.
Excellence I could use this as a insert for my kitchen cabinets, thanks for sharing

I need a jig just for the reason stated like a sofa table thank you so much you've made this woodworker very happy. Thanx Colin

The perfect solution to an angle challenge I have had for months!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Awesome jig! Thanks so much for sharing your talent and knowledge with us all.
Great idea Colin, for cutting a bevel safely. Thanks for sharing.
Great video. My blade on my jet table saw tilts the other direction. How would the jig work with that type of set up
Love this jig. I see it came in handy on the bedside tales
Colin I love your jigs, you put a lot of thought into it. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent jig, very clear the way you explain every detail, you make my work easy, thanks
Good jig for cutting jewelry box lid bevels as well.
A very nice jig and a beautiful cut!
Instant raised panel doors for sure. Great jig.
Thank you very much for your suggestions
Brilliant solution for window panel and table top :). Thank you, sir.
Thanks, Good points and techniques are discussed. This jig can also be used to make raised panels for doors
Great jig Collin, very handy to have around the shop.
I recommend cutting a chamfer on the bottom edge or even both bottom edges of that MDF board, that will both stop it from catching on your miter slot and give sawdust a place to go so boards can still easily rest flat against it.
Thank you :)
Another great video Colin, many thanks from Graham, UK.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
thanks once more time for your work and sharing. greetings from France
How would you recommend doing this with boards up to 6ft length?
That is awesome to make door faces with and a lot of other applications too
Very nice. Thankyou
Great call on the hanger bolts.
Colin I want to cut a 14.5 degree bevel on both ends of a piece of wood that is 2” on one end and 9” on the other end that is 14” long which makes it look like a triangle for a hexagon roof it has to be done free hand on the table saw and comments?

Do you have a method for cutting LONG bevels, viz, on the long edge for a cabinet door? I don’t have trouble cutting bevels on short pieces but on the longer pieces.
Making the whole jig from MDF or plywood eliminate the whole problem with wood movement. Much less hassle.
Great jig Colin, do you have a video on a jig to cut like a 15 degree angle I want to make a sloping desk top.
When making a table top out of wood would you cut the bevel end grain first as in routing?
Great video and a beautiful cut! Thanks.
You're Welcome. Thank you for watching Jakob-Peter!
Nicely done. When not in use, hang it on the wall and instant little shelf.
Tom P: Yes, great for putting your cup of tea or coffee on while keeping it of the way so you don’t spill it on your work.
I had à probleme and your jig fix it..im New at woodworking...thank again wish i could send à pic!!
How do I plan without a big planer do you think hand planer good enough
Great video! Thanks.
Could this jig be used to bevel the front of picture frames? Thanks.
I can't count how many times I look at a woodworking videos and the first steps are planers & jointers. How many average woodworkers have these tools?
Good stuff Colin
hey in your vid when you cut near the end is that mini kickback im witnessing ?
harmless, the bad ones are between the blade and the fence.
Maybe this could also double up as a tenon jig?
Very informative video. Thanks for sharing.
The jig can also be use for making wedges (the cut of parts)
What kind of blade is best to use? Thin kerf and/or many teeth?
Nice jig. How in the world could we work without them?
Great jig, like that a lot!
Colin, do you have any tips for sharpening Forster bits? Bought a new set but quite a few have burrs on the inside of the cutting face.
Many thanks Graham🇬🇧
Haha, he said nut thread! good jig sir, thank you
The table saw used was a left tilt. Would this jig work on my right tilt saw or would the wood get pinched between the blade and the fence causing kickback?
Roger Wilson Move your fence to the left of the blade.
cool video
Great 👍🏼 tools mi amigo
You're welcome!
good
Great video but i probably wouldn't brush the grit off the board on top of your nice table saw top.
Great
Did I just watched Luke Skywalker doing some woodworks? Just kidding. great stuff! one subscriber here!
lol ... Thanks for watching!
Nice jig. Not for a table top though, unless for a doll house.
Ty colen
Why wouldn't you put a piece of paper under the wood on the other side ?
@David Robey Just what I was thinking.
why not just use the jointer on both face of the oak board? instead of the jointer and then the planer?
Jointer-create 1 flat face.
Planer-use on opposite face so that face is parallel to jointed face.
Using jointer on second face doesn’t guarantee it will be parallel to the first face.
Mine is not the bees Meier fence it is the Delta one so you can't make those kinds of jigs for my saw
How would I make a jig for a right tilt saw?
How do I get to Maple Street from here?🤔

Четверть ролика посмотрел--одна болтология. ППЦ! Как же они любят болтать! Да покажи ты хоть что то!
useless video. You do not show how the jig relates to the bevel cut. Try cutting a equalateral triangle wth 20 degree bevel cut..!!
I like your videos but im curious to why you ALWAYS laugh while explaining altough nothing is funny?WTF?is it like a twitch kinda thing?
I already have a tenon jig that is similar to this-I was wondering if I could I use it to do this same process?
Without seeing the jig, I couldn't tell you.
