ometimes the simplest jig designs provide the best solutions to woodshop cutting situations. Take this simple shooter board styled
squaring jig. While it doesn’t include the longer fence and stop positioning capabilities of the bridged crosscut box, it does provide
a quick and sure means of squaring the end of your workpiece in preparation for subsequent cutting operations. A similar jig made
with the blade tilted to 45 degrees would be a great asset for mitered box making.
Start by adding a Miter Slider to the line of mounting holes closest to the edge of a large Built-It Panel and adjust for a good fit in
your table saw’s miter slot. Add a T-Slot Panel Connector to the edge nearest the Miter Slider. With the Build-It assembly in your miter
slot, measure the distance between the T-Slot Panel Connector and the blade. Flip the assembly upside down and cut a section off
the UNUSED edge of the Build-It Panel
that is about 1/4” wider than your measure-
ment. Place the Build-It assembly back
in your miter slot and attach the cutoff
to the T-Slot Panel Connector. Now run
the assembly through the saw to trim the
jig to the blade. Using #8 x 1” pan head
wood screws with washers, attach a fence
to the trailing edge of the Build-It Panel.
Square the fence to the cut edge nearest
the blade before tightening the fasteners.
Don’t forget the
Build-It Clamp
for safe and
secure cutting
