Simple taper jig
Posted: Thu May 30, 2024 4:41 pm
I needed to taper a half dozen small trim pieces. The easier way I’ve found to do that is mark the taper and then line up the marks to the edge of my jig and set the fence on the TS to just skim the edge of the jig.
The pictures explain most of the rest. I made two 1/4 through slots and 1/2 countersunk slots with a router for T bolts in a scrap of p board. I drilled a 6mm hole for the 1/4” machine screw I used for the clamp. That was just enough to be able to thread the screw through the p board so it doesn’t want to spin when I tighten the knob down on the clamp. It’s working well.
