Creativity often begins at home: While making a whole bunch of raised panel doors for my new kitchen, 1 came up with this labor-saving adjustable jig. As I moved on to other projects, I found it. to be useful for a variety of shop tasks, like creating staves for multi-sided objects and milling spline-grooved mitered edges.

What sets this jig apart is the mechanism which lowers and raises its hinged plate. The arm is attached to the plate and the base with pivots, one of which slides in a T-track, as shown in the Drawings at left. The sled is set up to work safely with small or large parts. A piece of T-track set into a diagonal groove in the sled lets one of the hold-downs handle all kinds of workpiece shapes and sizes. A dovetailed groove keeps the sled [and workpiece) from falling into the bh.de when the jig is set at high angles.
