How often do you go to use a piece of wood you purchased from a home center or even a hardware dealer and neither edge is straight? You certainly don’t want to try to cut a curve on your table saw and trying to guestimate a straight cut can be difficult and dangerous at best case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, with this handy inexpensive jig for your table saw you can create a nice clean straight edge on that piece of lumber that you once deemed not very good to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you will need for this project is some toggle clamps and a piece of manufactured sheet good. I used simple 500lb vertical toggle clamps<\/a> that I picked up from a home center and piece of MDF I had laying around. The length of the MDF in this case determines the maximum length of the piece of would you can cleanly cut. While the vertical toggle clamp<\/a> links are not exactly the ones I used, I have provide amazon links to ones equivalent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I simply mounted the vertical toggle clamps to a riser board and the MDF so I could clamp down material that I typically use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
