How to Make SHIMS quickly, easily, perfectly | DIY

Never buy overpriced, low quality shims again. This easy-to-make jig using a basic table saw will turn out perfect shims that are identical and come to the thinnest feathery edge. Whether installing doors, windows, cabinets, or other projects running out of SHIMS will not be an issue.

Just what the doctor ordered. Fantastic.

Just followed your method word for word, made the jig and ran off 150 shims ( or folding wedges ) as we call them over here in the UK. Brilliant video, thank you very much for posting this.

U forget that the average dude doesn't have a massive circular saw sitting in their garage

This is a great little jig! Simple and easily adaptable.
And yeah, I never toss ANY useable scrap! Lifesavers at the moment of need!!😆!!

Love this! Simple, clear, efficient to watch ... and the safety guard is perfect. Thanks!

[Wooster]

Just what I needed, simple and to the point. Watched a couple before yours and they made this overcomplicated. Thanks.

[dirtfpv]

Thanks for this. Was able to make it quickly and get exactly what I needed.

[andrewcarr]

that is awesome. I use a ton of shims during renovations and this will use up all the offcut material

[Shotsmoky]

Have that jig in my shop. But without the guard. Will be upgrading to your jig the next time I use it. Thanx for the post.

[enshongmiranda]

Thanks for this idea. You're saving my fingers. This will also work for making splines.

Worked great! Much safer than doing it on the miter saw!

[seththewonderpup]

Thanks for this piece of information, nice and simple easy to make, just did it in about 10 minutes and the shims are nice!

[timconnell]

Thnx. I think ill increase the angle depth to make clamp wedges. I like your safety guard.

Any reason you wouldn't be able to use something like this to also cut smaller hardwood wedges for making wedged tenons? I'm not super experienced so trying to see if there are any obvious pitfalls. I reckon you just cut the wedge shape from the body much smaller and then (of course) use shorter stock to cut a small wedge.

Excellent thank you. Cutting wedges on the table saw without this jig is asking for trouble.

Nice jig, I'll be making this! Keep up the videos

[yogibeer]

This is genius. What is the best blade to get those smooth cuts? Love this channel!

[paragmihir]
