JIG JOURNAL

Tall Fence Extension

The tall fence extension increases the height of the face of your rip fence and attaches directly to the rip fence. This is a useful accessory for stabilizing boards during cuts when running boards on edge. One good example is cutting rabbets with a single blade. While one of the cuts is with the board flat against the saw table, the second cut is made with the board verti cal and held tight against the fence. With 10" of bearing surface instead of the standard 3" or 4", the cut is much more accurate and safer.

Horizontal

Cut all the jig's parts from cabinet-grade plywood, taking care to make the faces and braces straight and flat. Rout the joinery, drill the mounting holes, then assemble the parts with glue and screws. Countersink and counterbore the screws so the heads are well

below the surface of the wood. If you wish, cover the heads with wooden plugs and sand them flush.
