5 Table Saw Jigs for Safer Cuts

Vertical Table Saw Jig applies pressure laterally and vertically down.

I built five jigs for the table saw using Bow Featherboards. These jigs give you lateral pressure against the fence but also vertical pressure down toward the table top. This ensures that the stock you are cutting remains flat against both the fence and the table. This gives you extremely accurate cuts. Below is a list of products I used for this build.

The MagSwitch requires a 40mm or 1 5/8” hole. 40mm fits best but 1 5/8” works too, they’re just slightly smaller than the hole. But when you screw them in, it really doesn’t matter. Two options for bits below.
