Does this product work with the JessEM stock guides? If it doesn't, I think it needs to. Please add that to your list of refinements to the product. Anything that can hold the jig tight to the fence to counter wobble AND to reduce risk of kickback is essential. Stock guides, featherboards, and push sticks are all essential for enhancing the safety of those of us using affordable and modern (w/ riving knives) tablesaws as alternatives to expensive Saw Stop saws. Thank you for introducing me to this potential alternative to a jointer (I already have a planer.)
Do you mean that the two edges are not parallel to each other? If so, you use the guide to get one straight edge, then flip the board side to side and put the straight edge against the table saw fence to cut a parallel on the other side. If you are talking about the faces of the board, then this unit won't address that. Best, DFJ
Based on this review I ordered one. Big mistake. What a seriously unprofessional company. I had a shipping address issue and I attempted to correct the problem within 2 minutes of the order being placed. I have called them several times over several days and emailed them and not once did they answer the phone or respond to emails. I wouldn't hold my breath if you needed replacement parts and needed to contact them to get them. This appears to be a one-time purchase and once it wears out or breaks, go elsewhere.
Thanks for the video but there are too many simple to build jigs out there that do an equivalent job. Many with built in clamps that make it safer and easier to use. Some even use a spirit level attached to the edge of a board with double side tape and run the level against the fence.
John, thanks for watching and taking time to write. I appreciate you giving your thoughts. You are correct, there are several approaches to this issue, many quite ingenious and available for purchase, others cleverly conceived and constructed in the shop. Thanks for weighing in! Best, DFJ
Bdub- thanks for writing. Indeed, that is a limitation of this tool. Longer lengths are almost impossible to pack and ship cost-effectively, hence only the shorter lengths being offered. Best Regards, DFJ

Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
Thanks for the great review. It does look like a great tool to have.
So how does this work with a board that is thinner or wider ----than the distance from the table saw track to the blade? what holds it to the fence?
Nice review. I had built a taper jig that pretty much gives me the same functionality at a fraction of the cost.
Right on, Papski. Thanks for weighing in. Best, DFJ
Nice tool... but I,ve been doing this for years with my shop built jigs at an absolute ffraction of the cost. Always worked well...

Ron, I'm sorry to hear this was your experience. I hope the tool serves you well in spite of the poor ordering experience. Best Regards, DFJ
Bonjour 🇩🇿🌹🇩🇿
I've been doing this same exact thing with double sided tape and a straight edge for years
Sounds like another ingenious shop-conceived and constructed solution. Thanks for writing! Best, DFJ

I think this company has gone out of business
Thanks for letting me know. I'll take down the content. Best Regards, DFJ
Too bad the longest one is only 6ft. I do this with lumber and a tape measure on rough lumber that could be 10',12' and longer
