Read this before you buy
Woodfather’s Jig plans do not include measurements or dimensions.
For this jig, a fixed cutlist is not helpful. Every table saw is different, and most people build this jig to fit their own setup using scrap wood on hand. That’s why the plans focus on the build process instead of measurements.
The PDF plans and step-by-step video are all you need to build your own version successfully. If you still get stuck, email me and I’ll help you finish the build.
