A Straight-Edge Cutting Jig helps you make precise, straight cuts on a table saw or the sliding table saw , particularly when working with rough or irregular wood.
How it works:
Position the jig so the table saw blade trims a portion of the base, creating an exact reference edge. This will indicate precisely where the saw will cut each time.
Place your workpiece onto the jig, aligning it with the pre-cut straight edge. Clamp it securely in place to prevent movement. Slide the jig along the table saw fence, ensuring a clean and accurate cut.
