first time I think, one can omit the riving knife cutting non-plywood safely - great tool 😃👍

Mind blowing. No more trace, jigsaw, then flush trim rout around your template. I think you should have done a complete template demo to illustrate the idea. Because for templates with straight lines, this is a super time saver.

Wow!! What a brilliant idea. Thank you for sharing Colin.

Great, great jig. Thank you Colin.

Honestly, at first I was wondering how this is useful - but I am completely sold. Great idea & thanks for sharing!!

This is an awesome idea! I can't believe all the years I've used a TS and never seen this jig before. Gotta make me one of these, perfect timing as well as it Shop cleanup and re-layout time. Thank you SIR! Burlington ON. Andrew

Thanks Colin, that will be a very useful addition to my workshop 👍

A totally great idea. I will be making me one of those!

This is another of those ideas where I wonder, now, why I’d never thought about it myself. Very good! Thank you. 👍

Colin, that was brilliant. thanks for this info on making this Jig. I can see that this is going to be one of my most useful and go to Jigs. thanks and keep-um comin.

this is a game changer for me..i wish i knew about his before. THanks Colin!

This is.... sheer genius!

Never seen this before, Thank you for the idea!!!

Gotta make this for my tablesaw..great jig for limiting kickback on pieces that get caught by the back of the blade. Thanks for providing this video!!

Thank you, I saw Stumpy’s and then yours, so I built your version this past weekend. I have a Beisemeyer fence and it snugs between the rails perfectly. I’m making a mobile kitchen cart for my wife and am making an end grain cutting board for the top. I had to cut some rough edged 8/4 hard maple stock to width and I have to say, the edge came out perfectly straight! I watched your other video on boring for the mag switches, and will be doing that next. Thank you, Colin, this is a life saver!

Awesome jig Colin! I have never seen that before & I've seen a hell of a lot of jigs! Thanks so much... 👍👍

I love this guy. Best temperament and personality for an instructor

You're always walking through a simple way to make anything!! I saw a bunch of KZread to how to make this jig but I believe this one is much easier than the other one!! Thank you for sharing that with us.

I'm intrigued by the idea of attaching a template to use on a table saw. This jig had some interesting properties, somewhere near a tapering/jointing jig but with other possibilities like templates and tennons. It's probably not one I'd make (yet), but the ideas involved are worth as much or more than the jig itself. Thanks Colin!

Awesome video, I'm just getting back into woodworking. This will be my first table saw jig build. Thank you.

That’s a great idea! It eliminates the need for so many jigs. Thanks 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

NEXT Jig I am making for sure. Thank You

I made and used it today ,Excellent !!!!! definitely a keeper, thanks....

Thanks for the great video and idea! You could also use this for safely ripping thin strips.

What a great idea! Thanks again.

Just fantastic and so safe too.

Thank you Colin excellent and informative

What a cleaver and useful jig! I was unsure of what you meant by "templating jig" at first but saw how useful this can be in the end. Great tip Colin!

I watched the whole video just wondering what this thing was going to be used for. What a ride!

Another excellent video of great tips and tricks! Thank you!

Thanks Colin, this is just what I need for an upcoming project, will knock one up 👍... just a thing, those mag switches are mega expensive in the UK at around £50 each!

Colin, after seeing this vidio, this must be a very safty feature, no kick backs, great tip.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, I have been following your channel and I have been doing woodworking for 60 years now, it’s a lot easier for me to share your videos with others than for me to try and teach others, thanks again ❤

in a single word - neat!

I am learning all the time with your great videos thank you

Brilliant!

Never seen that idea before and I was totally amazed. Worked in a factory making furniture for years in the 70's and 80's and we had all sorts of different jigs made up and hanging on the walls for making different size tapered table legs. It was really complicated and time consuming to get the pattern right for the cutting list the customers needed. Your method no jig making needed just measure top and bottom size the leg was wanted for, draw a line and off you go. Why did no one know about this back then would have saved so much time and effort.. I am in total shock. WOW, just WOW!!!.

Thank you for sharing

Never seen this before; I like it. I think I prefer the simplicity of a tapering sled, but that does have its limitations, especially for longer cuts.

Thanks. Good tool.

Great rig, btw

Greart Idea Collin,Thanks.

Another most excellent jig. However, should have shown it last month! 👍👍🤜🤛

Great video!

That’s smart work love from England

..well done!

Always great

@1:20 well look at that. You got square pegs in round holes! 😁👍

Brilliant device, but I was wincing when you cut the dados as your left hand came so close to the saw blade as you applied side pressure. True, the blade was surrounded by the material, but if it popped out of the kerf your hand would be a half inch from the blade and moving towards it. Be safe.

Thanks for sharing

I genuinely wish I had seen this video three days ago. What a nightmare I had trying to cut an angle for a project. I got it done but, damn it would have been way easier with this. Oh well I will have one for the next project. Thank you.

Clever. I thin Stumpy Nubs version may be a little be simpler.

You have a gift for teaching! I've seen this jig before. But it didn't seem worth the effort to make. I was wrong.

you can use this idea to copy convex or outside curves or discs. just stick your pattern or piece you want to copy on the work piece. you might have to do some nibbling to get close to size but makes a perfect copy and as many as you want. it won't work for concave curves. you could probably do that using the jig on a router table.

I like Bob Van Dyke’s L fence better and the way it hooks up to the regular fence better

I have watched two of your videos now and it is clear you know what you’re talking about. I have always had an interest in woodworking, but I have never lived somewhere, at least as an adult, that it would be practical to have any sort of Woodshop. About a month ago I joined a makerspace, which I had never heard of until a couple months ago, and for anyone who has not heard the term, my understanding is at it’s most basic definition is a place where people can join and make stuff. In a broader sense, it is a generic term used to describe a place where people from beginners to experts, and everything in between, can pay either a monthly or yearly fee or dues to be a member, kind of like a co-op and make or build almost anything. I’m guessing that there are some that are pretty basic, and mostly focused on woodworking, but most are probably like Make Salt Lake, and have CNC machines, welding, metal, working, electrical facilities (not electrician), small electronics, although I’m guessing someone could do any kind of electrical stuff as long as they could prove that they were safe to do it, and then woodworking is the most popular area. They provide almost everything. Some things you need to either bring your own or if they sell it you can buy it from them but specific wood and other supplies a member buys somewhere and brings it there. Sorry for the long comments and not even getting to the point yet. My question is what do you think of the GRR-RIPPER Complete Double Pack Limited Addition by MICROJIG? It is at least in the realm of reason as far as cost, but it isn’t cheap. My other question is do these sleds and jigs that you are making take the place of some that Woodpecker for example sell? I don’t mind paying a fair price for something. In fact, I’m guessing I have already spent over $1000 and don’t really have a lot of stuff. For instance, I purchased this model of the gripper, and have also purchased the Massca M2 PRO Aluminum Pocket Hole Jig System | Bundle #6 (which again is not cheap, but it appears to be a very good value). Thank you very much for these awesome videos

At first I didn't understand what you were making... I thought, what the 'L' ? ... but now I might make one for myself. Thanks.

I have noticed you using feeler gauges and gauge blocks in some videos. You might want to try an inexpensive digital caliper. They give more accurate measurements and are much faster to use.

Just yesterday I needed to make an offset cut, about 89 degrees. I need to build me one of these. Can't figure out why I would want to set up this jig just for making a right angle cut though.

I will definitely add this to my list of jigs to make. I've never heard of an L jig before today but, wow, that is useful for so many applications!

This is very clever, unless you have a track saw. A track saw can do these things easier and without building a jig. The tenant cut at the end is the exception, though, as this is awkward to do with a track saw

Well , that was fascinating! Love these jigs sometimes more than real woodworking‼️

I might make one of these as l like how safe it is.

Wow im smarter now thanks!

I have to share this. I was just looking for a particular email, and I have already bought some thing from woodpecker, their spline jig. When I initially saw it, and what it could do, I had to have it, or some thing that they do the same thing. As I do prior to purchasing almost anything, I looked for other similar items from other companies, or other ways to get the same result, and all I found were ones that people made themselves, and for the price of what this is with my current skill level it is worth it to me to buy something that someone else has made. Anyway, I just had to share this after my initial comment, saying how expensive they were, and I don’t see how I could buy their stuff. I want to buy their stuff, and I guess this proves my point that if it is reasonably priced which this is then I’m fine paying for it. Some of their stuff just seems crazy expensive like there’s no reasoning behind it. But I understand that I don’t know how everything works and maybe there is a logical reason for it.

Thank you for saying you drilled pilot holes instead of saying you pre-drilled.

Nice video - got to build this one. BTW wondering why (at 4:50 mark) you recommend having a lip on the fence instead of flush mounting? Trying to understand the benefit of it. Thanks in advance.

Thank you Colin

So simple! So obvious - once you see it the first time. Will have to figure out how to adapt the design to work with a fence that has the track for Jess-em guides on the top. Thanks for video.

thanks Colin. very useful tips.

Hello sir thanks for great video always hope such great video i want to make table saw but i confused which is suitable moter high speef rpm or low speed rpm please clear my confusion and in case of saw bled which is good too much teet or low number teet please inform me

Love it! Gotta make one.

Great idea Colin.Will be making one of those for sure

Unique jig Colin! Thank you

Thanks Colin I'm learning another trick from you.

Very goog Colin! Thanks.

Very good! I like it.

Very Cool table Saw jig !!!!!!!! Thanks for showing how to build one for myself , Sir !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would think some sort of sled where the workpieces are locked down against positive stops would be one of, if not the most safest and repeatable ways to do this. But if I knew anything I'd be out in the shop and not commenting on youtube videos.

Anything to help with repeatability on that taper? How would you accurately repeat that angle on the other side of that piece at 8:53? Also how can you be sure youre getting a square edge on the jointing cut at 7:05?

I would imagine you'ld use the template and sandwich it under the larger, control/guide board?

Mate, that's a pretty brilliant but of kit. 👍🏽 I've never seen one of those before. cheers, Colin. 👌🏽

Colin, what do you think about this for a jointing jig? Not having a jointer, I am always looking for a good workaround in its absence.

There's many ways, but I'll throw mine in. Instead of using that jig on the fence (It's just another awkward shaped jig to have to store) put a runner underneath a flat board that slides in the miter slot and a piece of friction cloth like he uses for the piece you want cut a straigjt edge on. It's badically just a rip sled vs a crosscut sled. It gives a perfectly straight edge on your wood and is easy to store.

This is brilliant

This is an awesome jig

Where was this tip last week when I could have used it? Now I'm going to have to start all over again, just so I make and use this jig. Off to the lumber store I go. Oh man, your going to get me in trouble with my wife. She want to know why I can't just drink beer and watch sports like the rest of her friends husbands.😧 🇨🇦✌😎✌🇨🇦

Where would u get anti slip material

Thanks

What size hole do you drill for the mag switch

Muito ótimo esse jig

Hi Collin what about cutting angles with this say up to 45 deg is there a way round it ?

Very interesting Thank You

Is the table saw your using the ridgid hybrid ?

Where do we get magnet switch ?

Very interesting, never seen an L fence before! Out of interest, what's the benefit of this over a standard tapering jig? Or is it simply an alternative?

@mkbcoolman

The only real advantage I see with this jig vs a tapering jig is the ability to work with larger pieces. But I'd also think that repeatability would be more difficult on an l-fence.

@rwind656

@kbcoolman, I"m a table saw newbie, and trying to understand the same as Ian Mitchell -- the diff between this and a tapering jig? How does the L-fence allow you to work with larger pieces? You're limited in what you can remove by the depth (up under the "L-fence" flat) over to the actual rip fence. Is there a safety advantage in the cutoff being trapped up under the L-fence? Or is it that you don't have to reposition the workpiece on a tapering jig for cutting multi sides? And I thought we were never to trap a workpiece on both ends -- between a fence (the rip fence) and a stop block on a miter gauge, and I don't understand why this is different, other than the cutoff being trapped under the fence, so it can't kick back.

@@rwind656 When I say larger, I specifically mean wider. I suppose you could make a tapering jig that could accommodate 24" widths, but it would be extremely cumbersome. Personally, I made my tapering jig to be able to put a straight edge on a 12" wide board, and I'm normally tapering on much narrower pieces (like table legs). Once I set my tapering jig, I can be confident that I can achieve the EXACT same taper on every leg. This L-fence jig won't do that. 'Trapping' means the offcut is between the blade and the fence, which can be a kickback hazard especially if the offcut comes into contact with the back half of the saw blade. With normal table saw operation this is controlled because you're pushing the piece all the way past the blade (hopefully using TWO push sticks for safety). It's not a problem with this jig because there's room for the offcut to fall to the right of the blade. For a tapering jig, the offcut falls the to opposite side of the blade. The key here is that there is ample clearance for the offcut to fall away from the blade.

@@mkbcoolman Thanks for taking the time to explain. I have seen several tapering jigs including one which allows an initial setup and then repeating the same cut on all sides of a furniture leg, for multiple legs, like you are talking about. And I can see this works for a big wide piece. The idea of trapping the cut off up underneath and between the rip fence and the blade sight unseen still makes me nervous, if it were to get turned sideways under there. As though being able to see through the jig would make a difference if the worst happened! But I am sure Mr. Knecht would not be doing it if that could happen. I need to watch some on various tapering jigs again. Thank you!

Fantastic jig, I thought I had seen every table saw jig on youtube, but this one was a new one to me, thanks

Hi Colin,👍👏👏👏👏👏

WOW

Gonna have a go at making this jig tomorrow. Thanks Colin. Any chance you could provide an affiliate link to those magnets? Would like you to get a kickback when I buy one ;-)

Where is your safety glasses when using the drill press?

I honestly don’t understand the need for this? It’s a stop block? It’s a sac fence? If I wanted to make an exact copy of another piece I’d use an spiral flick trim bit which would give me an exact bit by eye if the beholder copy. Cut to rough size with saw then flush trim It to copy.. the one thing I did however find very useful was using non slip drawer liner in between pieces.. that imop is much more useful then this jig.
