Nice find Oliver.

 

Oliver, Thanks for sharing, nice and simple jig

 

Some ideas are so simple, and yet so effective....

Good find, Oliver.

 

Nice jig Oliver.

 

Oliver ~ Nifty jig and excellent video to show how it is used. Sure looks like it would be easier and faster than having to fine tune stacked dado blades. Thanks for taking time to share your photos.

I made one a of these a few months ago and find it to be very handy. Really like it.

 

Thanks for sharing, Oliver. I can't wait to try it.

By the way, this is the second day I'm still ambulatory after posting the sign about men fixing things in my shop.

 

Very nice thank you for posting.

 

Oliver-
If it wasn't so simple,I'd say it was something you came up with!

Oliver,

Great post. Some of the best jigs are the simplest. I just ordered my first table saw, a Dewalt contractor saw for my small shop. The DWE7480 doesn't take a dado set so this jig will come in extra handy. I think this will be my first project when the saw arrives next week.

In this video, how to effectively set the kerf using the actual cutters, and demonstrate its use on three random-thickness boards from the scrap bin. You'll learn how to use it in many situations on the tablesaw, router, mitersaw, bandsaw.

Nice find, Cláudio. Thanks for sharing it.

 

Ok Oliver.
Glad to reciprocate for every good information I received from you all.

 

Great Idea. I made one , then discovered that I had something that worked better. It works with every thickness of saw blade. My father was an engraver and I have some of his tools from the 1920's. I'm not sure what this was used for but it works great for woodworking. You line up the thickness of the wood using a square against the "T" of the tool. The first cut is made against the "T" of the tool as the offset. The second cut is made by the brass angle as the offset. The pictures show the tool against the blade, it was easier to photograph. The tool is actually used to offset the wood and not against the blade. I did a test joint and it is tight.
Keep the ideas coming.

 

Isnt something missing?

Aren't you missing a very important aspect? Or do you make a new one for each size of cut?

There are 3 sections.

It doesn't need three sections as long as you use the same blade. You might need to make a new one if you change saw blades.

 

Ah yes, I built one of those about two years ago after seeing them on the internet. I used some scrap mahogany I had lying around. It has been a very useful addition to my workshop.
