You'er Welcome village

I did add a snapshot of one more way to get the job done quick with your jig saw...the router is a great tool but sometimes the blade is the way to go..

The pickets are 1x6 cedar will i be able to make one pass and cut through slowly or will multiple passes be required. Also what bit would be best to use. Cheers Matt

Bj, quite often you "edit" your posts by making them totally different, why not just make a new post and leave the original one intact so that we have a continuous thread?

Hi Harry

Thanks for the tip but I like the way I do it..

It keeps the post new in a small way...
And most of the time it's not worth a new post for just one picture..

Hi Matt

You'er Welcome for my small part.... I'm SORRY for making something so easy so hard...
After all we are talking about a fence picket

I would suggest grab your hand jig saw and a pencil , cut the 1st one the way you want it to look then use it for the pattern for the rest of the 200 pickets...just mark it and cut away...I'm almost sure you can knock out 200 of them in a hour or so...after all it's just a fence picket..

The right tool for the right job, and that's what the jig saw is for...
Plus the router is not made to be a rip saw......or a cut off tool...
By the way it doesn't need to be a 200.oo dollar jig saw a cheap 10.oo dollar jig saw will do the job just fine, just something that moves the blade up and down..

,,,, low tech suff...
