Check out the simple sled I use to cut 100's of 'feather-end shims' so I can "Say No to Stubby Shims" when I do precise work like setting cabinets.
The fixture I use is not OSHA approved but works well for me. Using it is well within my comfort zone for doing the potentially dangerous task of cutting hundreds of shims. I give step by step details of how I make the fixture I've used for years and use it to cut over 400 feather-end shims for this video. If you choose to make your own shims with a fixture like mine, or anyone else's for that matter, you do so at your own risk. Pay attention, use PPE you're comfortable with and work safely... NO shim in the world is worth risk of injury or a trip to the Emergency Room, right?
