Taper Jig
TAPERS. The jig has a built-in system that allows you to adjust the size of the taper, making it easy to remove the exact amount of material you want. In fact, once the jig is adjusted you can cut four identical tapers in a matter of minutes—without changing the basic setup of the jig.
ANGLED CUTS. You'll probably use this jig just as often for angled cuts as for tapers. With two simple hold-downs clamping a workpiece to the jig, you can make long angled cuts safely and accurately.
STRAIGHT-LINE RIPPING. And the same hold-downs can be used when ripping a straight edge on a rough sawn piece of lumber, including pieces that are longer or wider than the jig.
Overall dimensions: 33" long x 11" wide
