Miter Spline Jig
comments (15) August 30th, 2010 in Jigs
I made this jig about 4 months ago wanting to attempt miter splines in a special keepsake box I was working on. The cradle was made rather large compared to many I seen due to possible larger projects down the line (trying to think ahead). I used slides in both miter slots to ensure good tracking as well. I made a removable stop that is easily held in place with two small clamps and use a recycled section of an old tape measure for distance of cut. Last but not least I added a handle to ensure my fingers will stay well away from the blade (I have grown attached to them...lol).
Nothing super fancy. Just a good solid, dependable jig I can always count on. Thanks for taking a look.
