Looking for the instruction sheet for a Craftsman 9 3233 taper jig. I know what you're thinking, but if you happen to have a copy, please share it. Thanks.

I might have that tool if it looks like an A when opened up and is just a hinged pair of square steel tubes. They are extremely hard to use and set. I don't know if mine came with any instructions. The problem I find with it is that when you try to fine tune it it changes both ends instead of just the open end. It also doesn't have much of a hook on the end the keep it engaged with the work piece. For that reason I just attached some stops to a piece of plywood last time I needed to taper something instead of using that taper jig. I'm glad you posted this. I was planning on giving it away in the local buy and sell to free up wall space and had forgotten about it.

I think I have the same one...or a copy of it. You're right, Charles...it is not the easiest to use for the reasons you described. Mine is in a bag of stuff I don't use. One of these days the whole bag will go...except I like the bag...:grin:

Sorry, Frank...I do not have instructions/manual...

I know that these are a little tricky to use properly. I got a brand new one still in the box from my neighbor, but unfortunately his silverfish ate enough of the instruction sheet to make it unusable. It looks like there might be a couple of different ways to set it up. Just want to make sure I have a least got it put together the right way. That should be easier than using it. Thanks everybody; still hoping that somebody here will have a copy.

I could post a picture of mine if you want. Maybe there is a you tube video of someone using it. There seems to be videos of everything else imaginable.
