I designed and built a tilting router table fence a couple weeks ago and it works nicely!  I made very detailed plans and they are available for a small fee here.  Let me know your thoughts.

A couple years ago I made a circle cutting jig for my bandsaw. I was never completely happy with the way you had to tighten down the adjustable pin board. You were required to lift the work off of the jig in order to tighten down the pin board. This could cause it to move before it was tightened securely. Recently I came up with a solution that allows you to tighten the pin board from the side without removing the work. I think it’s a huge improvement. The new design is also easier to attach to your bandsaw. You can, if needed, clamp the miter bar down to the bandsaw (there is room with the new design), but I found it unnecessary.

Watch a video of the build here.  You can download plans here.

Every once in a while I will have the need to make a dado for another piece of stock to fit into.  This usually requires a very tight fitting dado.  The method that I use to use involved trial and error on scrap wood until I obtained a good fit.  Well, I got sick of doing it this way.   So I thought of a quick jig that I could make that in principle works similar to the KerfMaker by BridgeCity Tools.  Instead of dialing the thickness of the stock into the jig, as in the KerfMaker mine uses the stock that goes into the dado directly during the cut.

The width of the saw kerf is accounted for by using a screw or bolt.  The jig produces very tight fitting dados that can be dialed-in for fit by adjusting the screw in or out.  I think I will keep this jig handy near the table saw!

For a demonstration of how the jig is used, see the video.
