Jigs and Fixtures This area will be directed towards the art of designing specific jigs and fixtures. Bob and Rick say, "if the specific operation is to make more than one piece the same size and shape then chances are you need a jig and/or fixtures."

Default template jig for making tapered legs

Any ideas for making a tapered jig (homemade) for cutting on a table saw? I am real cheap and do not like to buy jigs unless I can't make one. Photos will be great.
Thanks
Alan

These are quite simple to make.

You might try this: http://store.yahoo.com/cgi-bin/clink...+taperjig.html

This is just one of many different ways to make one.
Hope this helps.

Hi asrubin

Here's a snapshot or Two of the one I made, it's base on the center pin in the bottom of the leg to keep it true no matter what the stock size is when you start out... it will let you put the taper on one side or all four sides..
