Tapering Jig

The tapers on the tegs ol this table were formed on the table saw using a tapering jig. which is easily made lor custom /obs. The author used a jig like the one at the right. It consists of a sled with a fence attached al the correct angle to achieve the taper Blocks at each end are attached at an angle to position the leg and form a tight fit. A toggle clamp holds the leg firmly in place so you can safely slide the jig across the table saw.
