3 Simple Jigs to get Professional Results from any Table Saw | Shop Tips

Everyone thinks you need a multi-thousand dollar table saw to do professional-level woodworking but you can get clean and accurate results with just a couple of simple jigs. Here are the 3 jigs I think every woodworker should start out with on a table saw to get better results.

Thanks to today's sponsor The Home Depot for making videos like this possible. You can find links to some of the awesome items I used in this video at the links below.

Although I have made these jigs before, it's always good to watch other techniques. An example is that I always made my runners the same depth as the slots. Your idea works much better!

[patrickfouhy]

That was awesome. I'm a fairly experienced woodworker, but I've always worked for people who had every tool and jig imaginable so I've never needed much to get my work done. Lately, I've moved to a new city, and my collection of quite basic tools makes it a bit of a challenge to complete many of the jig building videos online because almost all of them require a half a dozen tools I don't have. haha. Thanks for making this so someone starting out in their tool collection can play along as well.

As a qualified welder, i really enjoy watching other trades backyard hacking their tools and showing their inside techniques. It can give us all a lot of ideas on how to be both frugal and professional . Cheers Mate, and good work!

First of all, this was one of the most straight forward, down to earth videos I've witnessed about jobsite saws manipulated into precision tools and no fuss aids to support it. I am duly motivated once again to find a saw that I just might be able to afford. Thanks and Cheers!

[krislandis]

Loved the last sled...a jointer is insanely out of my price range and space ...thanks for the great easy idea

[WorksbySolo]

This was a good one, Rick. Gives me incentive to finally make a cross cut sled. Thanks for sharing.

[subungulate]

Super useful for me as I don't have any of these jigs/sleds. You're the first content provider I've seen that demonstrates the how-to for these accessories. Thank you.

[Jerenemy]

I've been watching of bunch of jig videos lately; trying to make future projects quicker, easier and more accurate. This is definitely one of the better tutorials I've seen. Thanks for the tips, I'm going to get working.

[KBBAKTHA]

extremely useful shop projects, particularly the third jig with just one runner. Thanks

[chazmaxwell]

The last jig was the most useful always wondered how to cut a curved board straight and that looks like just the ticket Tha KS for sharing

[johnlydick]

I actually completed my sled today. I did find some scrap oak, and I re-purposed old cabinet doors for the plywood. I am cutting true squares in the first test. Thank you.

[cmichaelhoover]

Very well done.
Thank you. I will be using sleds now!

[MooterMoot]

Great jigs and great job on the video production. You are making me nervous how cavalier you are pushing material through, though. I'm glad that you still have your fingers.

[Not_TVs_Frank]

Do note that you *can* extend the slot in your zero clearance insert to accommodate a riving knife. It's totally worth the effort. That means I can use the zero clearance with the riving knife, blade guard, and kickback pawls. I _never_ have to choose between safety and better quality cuts.

Im a mason that tries to do woodwork. I just subbed. Im counting on your videos. Thnx man

[ilivelivemusic]

Very helpful and clear. I like the simplicity of your sled as well as the 2 glue trick

[andrewgreene]

Good video, man. I never got lost, bored, or checked to see how much time was left. Super useful!

[robholland]

I never anticipated making so many tools for my tools!

[C-Mah]

This video was great. I have all my tools in a closet and no dedicated workspace so I have this saw bc it is easy to store and maneuver. These jigs will help me.

[davidorcutt]

Excellent video. I also use a job site table saw for my small wood shop so this was great. Thank you.
