My Favorite Table Saw Jig For Tapers and Angles - Woodworking Essentials

I wasn't happy with the tapering jig I had for my woodworking and furniture building projects, so I decided to build one that I could adapt to whatever project I needed it for.
In this video I use leftover plywood, threaded inserts and toggle clamps to make what I feel is a super versatile jig for woodworking. 💪🏻

Thank You For Taking the Time to Make This Concise Informative Video

I might add that the use of a runner, rather than using the table saw fence allows nearly unlimited sizes of parts to be tapered. However, a couple of stop blocks fit the end and sides would insure repeatable accuracy.

Typically I use a scissors type tapering jig or make one out of scrap for one off use with stop blocks. Stop blocks can be temporarily placed with CA glue placed inside a sandwich of blue painters tape, so the same dumb sheet of plywood can be used multiple times. My hold downs are a piece of wood on top of the part screwed onto the plywood base.

But your jig is much more higher tech.

Brilliant. Making one this week. I figure I’ll add common angles to be ahead of the game. Many thanks!!! 🙌

Well done Seth! Very nice tapering jig that I will have to make myself. I was wondering if it would be possible to use magnetic catches to hold those toggles in place. That way they would be very easy to move around. Just a thought? BTW, you have a new subscriber! 👍👍
