Very informative Luis, I haven't got to that point where I'm making jigs... but this is definitely one I need and would benefit from making so I'll be adding it to my "to do" list. Another great video 👌💯 to be honest I wasn't sure what to expect when you mentioned you have a RU-vid channel but I'm pleasantly surprised and I have so many questions but not here on RU-vid 😂 I'll hit you up
You are the second person I have seen make a tablesaw jig, where the runners sit above the table. Would it not be better for the whole jig to slide on the table? Why would you make the runners prominent? How did you determine the fixed fence was perpendicular?
Hi Scott, great questions! Starting with the runners, there is no added benefit to leaving them prominent, after a few uses I have actually taken a hand plane and shaved them down to where the base of the jig does sit on the table saw itself. Reason being is dust collection, that 1/8 inch gap I left was allowing more dust than I wanted out. Secondly I used a square referencing off of the dado stack. Now be as precise as you can be with the square but don’t over worry about it being perfect. Since this jig you only cut a little piece off usually at most 1-1/2 inch or thinner, the error in your actual finished piece will be so small and unnoticeable. This is not a crosscut sled where you are cutting a very wide board and it needs to be as close to perfect as possible. Hope that helps!
