I am wanting to make some chessboards. The boards will have slots cut with a table saw between the squares. To do this, I needed to make a jig that can set the distance between the edge or another slot to exactly 1 1/2 inches.
The new jig fits right on my table saw. Feet underneath fit in the miter gauge slots and a stop on the front rests up against the front edge of the table.
A thin strip of wood is inlaid into the top 1/2 inches from the blade and sticking up about 1/4 inch.
Recessed bolts hold the jig in place.
A miter gauge slot was routed in.
The slot fits tight with the miter gauge.
Thanks to my helper...
... we were able to get some nice parallel cuts with our new jig in a test piece of wood.
