Extract from back cover of book:
How many woodworking tasks can be done more easily and accurately with a jig? So many you won't be able to count them all. Commercially produced jigs are expensive and hard to find and for a custom fit to your tools and for your specific tasks there's no better way than building your own. Now the WOOD' magazine pros show you how to make and use dozens of them, often illustrated in how-to photos. You'll wonder how you ever got along without these invaluable shop aids!
Here are just some of the jobs you'll be able to do using jigs:
With
your router:
- Cut error-free grooves and dadoes
- Cut perfect circles
of all sizes
- Cut box joints that would overwhelm your tablesaw
With
your tablesaw:
- Rip straight edges on a ragged-edge board (without nailing
on a guide)
- Hold workpieces, such as raised panels, upright so you can make
cuts in their edges
- Get three extra feet of stock support beyond the blade
(with a table that folds away when not in use)
- Make precise miter, taper,
and angle cuts
With
your bandsaw:
- Saw thin veneer evenly from thicker stock
- Crosscut,
rip, and cut circles without adding difficulty to blade changes
- Make symmetrically
tapered table legs
- Produce perfect sets of identical curved parts
With
your drill press:
- Drill accurately at any angle from 0 to 45 degrees
-
Make end boring and tenoning jobs a breeze
- Drill quick, accurate pocket
holes
With
your sander:
- Sand circles that are truly round
- Use a positive-stop
system to turn your sander into a precision tool
And
more...
- Hold cabinet parts together at right angles for gluing.
- Transfer
hinge locations from door to carcase when cabinet building
- Even get precision
support when you sharpen tools!
