  • Consider the PossibilitiesMulti-Use TS JigFLWoodRat's

  • The Base UnitThis JIG can be built to any size and out of any materials you have sitting around the shop. Be creative and personalize it with some special wood. I used some scrap TEAK for the right hand push block.

  • The Base UnitThe face of my jig is approximately 10 tall and 19 long.

  • The Base UnitThe back risers and base are ~ 6 wide.

  • The Base UnitThe gap between the base and the runner is sized to span my TS Fence with 0 clearance.

    You can wax your fence to help things glide smoothly

  • The Base UnitThe TEAK push block has a short riser block (7/8 tall) attached.

    Chamfering the edges makes it easier on the hands

  • The Base UnitWhen using the jig:

    Place your LEFT hand here.

    Place your RIGHT hand hereAt no time will your hands be in harms way!

  • The Base UnitThe rear risers are spaced to allow for clamping at the ends of your work.

    OR in the center.

  • The Base UnitWhen using the jig for cutting tenons:

    Attach a sacrificial vertical stop rail somewhere around here

    Drill pilot holes and screw it on from the back

  • The Base UnitUsing the jig to cut a Tenon

    After flipping and then cross cutting the cheeks, this is what you get

  • The Base UnitYou can use the same set-up for cutting raised panels.

    Obviously, you need a LEFT Tilting arbor to do that with this jig.

  • Some Raised PanelsJust a little clean up left..

  • Some Raised PanelsProfile View

    I also cut a rabbet on the back side

  • Is that all we can do? Not at all.

    By adding the Auxiliary Spline-Slot-CutterAccessory Face

    You can do even more exciting things.

  • The Spline-Cutter AttachmentSo, you want to cut some slots for splines in your box corners.

    All you have to do is attach this accessory V-Face.

  • The Spline-Cutter AttachmentI used a Splined-Butt technique and glue for the V joint.

    Then I screwed the V to the aux-face from behind.

    MAKE SURE YOUR SCREWS ARE ABOVE THE CUTTING ZONE

  • The Spline-Cutter Attachment

    450 wedges were used to align the V at the center of the auxiliary face, then I screwed it from the back.One wedge was placed here to help with the alignment

  • The Spline-Cutter AttachmentThe Spline Slot-Cutter Assembly is screwed to the base unit from behind at 6 locations.

    Drill pilot holes in the base unit and clamp the auxiliary face to it when attaching. Remove the clamps before cutting your slots.

  • Build Your Own!If you think of some other uses, share them.

    If you have a better design idea, share it.

  • In ClosingThe next time you go into your shop, COUNT your fingers.

    COUNT them again when you leave.

    If the number is the same. COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS!

  • Thanks for sharing your ideas!FLWoodRat
