@@johndiego3105 I'm with both of you! I had no idea, but know Colin is a smart fellow :-) That was worth watching! Thank you

i was so confused until you showed the jig in use. that's an awesome jig!!

Genius. Using Lexan opens up a world of possibilities! Thanks Colin!

Thanks for showing the upgrade. Think I'll be building this jig in December... or whenever I get the magswitches

Very clever! I hate setting up my tapper jig, which is what I would normally use. This would also allow for much wider boards. 👍👌

Cool jig I've never seen before. And the upgrade would seem to make it more safe, being able to see through it. Like you said... Super duper!

Very good jig! Thank you for sharing Colin.

Oh boy! That's a keeper! Thanks for showing that.

Oh cool! I never knew what those fences were for. Very helpful.

Fantastic job, and excellent adaptation upgrade!👌🏽 Nice work, mate, love it. 👍🏽

I really like that jig. Well done Colin. I'm making one ASAP.

Great jig to have when needed. Thanks!

I like this. I’ll make one for my new to me table saw. Thanks for sharing.

Great jig more safety is always good. Thanks Colin

Beautifully simple yet efficient.

That is brilliant! Thank you for sharing it.

That's a great upgrade to that jig!

Well thought out jig and process.

Very nice. I always enjoy watching your videos.

Great fence, I’m going to make this! Thank you. ☮️ from Berkeley, California

Wow. That’s a great way to joint a board.

Great video Colin! Thanks for sharing with us!💖👍😎JP

Great idea! Never seen a jig like that.

Starting to watch each of your videos. You have shown us some outstanding projects. Thank you. //ji

Genius ! Thank you Colin !!

Pretty interesting jig, Colin! Thanks! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Excellent idea

Nice upgrade.

I like the plastic idea. Very nice!

Great improvement and much safer too ! If your viewers still don’t understand, you’ll have to integrate led lights and a camera to the L fence !

Hi Colin,it is a very good Idea and quick built,Greeting from Germany

nice upgrade Colin, looks so much safer also

First time I’ve seen that, great concept, I’ll make one

Perfect, thanks for the video.

Great video, thanks!

Nice upgrade.🙂🙂

Very interesting. Very good idea. 👍👍

Great video and idea, although you can glue wood to plastic there a quite a lot of products for just that purpose.

Very clever!!!

thats awesome!

I love the method

I snatched up some 3/8 clear acrylic sheets at the 2nd hand store, they're super useful! I also have some 1/16 plexiglass sheets, they cut ok on the table saw as long as youre not cutting thin strips. I tried to make a table saw insert, and it almost worked, but the one thin edge shattered when i was cutting it off.

Biggest issue you will face is that the thin plex always flexes as you use it. I did this with a homemade router table and I kept noticing variations in depth on my wood when using the router. It would flex as I pushed the wood through and make my cut depth vary. Using thin plex as a table saw insert will do the same.

Nice. Thank you

Now I know why I’ve held onto that 2’X3’ scavenged piece of Lexan for the last 20 years, thanks Colin. 👍🏻

I REALLY need my table saw restored! Every time I watch Colin's vids, the saw cuts like butter! This was a pretty cool spin on this jig and helps me understand it a bit more. AWESOME!

Très bonne idée 🏆🏆

Thats a pretty nifty gizmo.

Pretty dam slick I say 👍😉

Nothing like an old wise man 😃

Not bad- not bad at all!

Excellent improvement. Thanks for the idea. What setting/speed did you use in the drill press? Softwood?

I love Lexan. I much prefer it over Plexiglass.

I've watched most of your videos - entertaining and full of useful information. Thank you! One thing though... does anyone else find the sound level of your videos to be slightly lower than average?

Colin's calm voice makes it seem quieter than those KZreadrs who think they have to shout to get you excited about their videos. I watch these on my phone generally, with earbuds. What I can't stand are the KZreadrs who don't regulate the sound volume and go right from their talking voice to turning on the table saw or router. Yikes! I've had to quickly yank my earbuds out to protect my eardrums. 😱 Colin doesn't do that and I appreciate it. So do my ears. 👍😁

missed that sale! drat!

I believe you can use E6000 glue for smooth plastic adhesion to wood, but I'd also use fasteners when possible.

I think polyurethane glues are usually cited as a solid way to bond lexan to wood, might be worth a trial!

Add a bead of 3M 5200 adhesive caulking to backup the screws. Bulletproof!

While watching The Last Kingdom on Netflix I was pretty sure I had heard the name "Cnut" before but couldn't remember where. Now I do..lol.

I learned at least 3 useful things from watching this video :)

I like the idea, but how do you ensure the lexan edge is parallel to your saw blade?

I'm thinking this would be very useful for much longer boards such as say, 6' or so. I often buy lumber that's not straight on either side and don't always feel like taking all day to use the joiner to joint 40 boards at once..

this it the job where the L-fence excells in. Search for "holzwerken winkelbrett", in this video Guido Henn shows how to use it on a bandsaw and small table saws. And if you are going to use it more often, you find how to set up a quite simple jig. The benefit of the L-fence is that it very safe to work with, and you can't cut to deep into the edge: if the staight edge looses the contact to the L-fence just repeat the cut to get a clean straight edge on your work piece.

Very nice. Where did you purchase the Lexan? Thanks Keep the videos coming.

I appreciate the advice, but I usually don't use my table saw fence to avoid bullets. I prefer to use a bulletproof track saw guide track when the bullets start flying in the shop.

If you don’t have/can’t afford a plastic blade, flip the wood blade to backwards, will greatly reduce cracking if working around holes or with acrylic. Worked in a glass shop for decades.

Great.... This video just cost me over $200... Thanks... LOL... That Mag_tech is some really nice equipment. I love it for my table saw, drill and band saw!

Excellent video and jig! I suppose you found a plastic shop? (Heard they exist.) I guess we can't use other types of plastic in this use because of safety? Or can we, please?

I'm a bit lazy, I just use a few dabs of hot glue and stick the edge of the board that needs jointing onto a straight bit, then run it through. It's the lowest possible tech method I can think of, but once you get one edge you are golden.

Please advise which model mag switch is used for holding the L Fence on the tablesaw fence? Is it 95 or 150 version? Thanks.

I've never seen the Magswitches before. Those would be so handy. What holding strength do you use Colin?

What about a kick back at left side?

In Canada go to Lee Valley and get free shipping on these magswitches, ordering direct you get hit by very high postal rates along with the exchange rate. Even with the 20% off you will end up paying more.

Where can I get the non skid material?

colin what do you use as anti skit material?

I did not understand what you meant by your affiliate link with regard to the sale of mag switches.

Circular saw with track is much better for this job.

how much the plastic cost

Is there a reason not to just screw the lexan to the bottom of the riser?

@stummies

2 жыл бұрын

Yes there is. He forgot to mention it. If you screw into the lexan (and probably some other plastics), it will split. When he bore holes through the lexan, he made them wide enough so that his screws will pass through without putting any pressure on the sides. The only pressure the lexan sheet gets is on top and bottom as the screw holds it to the wood. Tamar from 3x3 uses a lot of plastic in her jigs, including runners on her crosscut sled (which is how I know about it).

searching for bullet proof plastic yields multiple sites that have it at .75" thickness, but the sites I visited have prices of $1000 + cost, perhaps you'd offer a link to a site? thank you.

Look up Lexan. Also he misspoke. If you look at his linked article it’s 1/2 inch and he got cut offs from local supplier at half off. Not his best video.

10:26 Hey! Who's that young fella in the bottom right corner?? ;-)

Very interesting, my problem is. My rip fence is different than the one you have

Hea just flash over the edge with a torch and walla it clear again

Confused until the last minute.

The only thing I would worry about is how stable the plastic is. Won't it shrink and expand with the seasons? I saw the extra piece you added to the front edge, presumably for stability, but have you checked for square after the table has been used?

Firstly ..... luv ya. But really wished you wore a mask when cutting the plastic. Newbies need to SEE guys like you doing the right thing

What is the difference between this jig and a tapering jig.
