- JMP Fence Upgrade. I wanted one of these for a long time but the price was over my limit. They (Bridge City) had a flash sale and voila, I bought one. Nice addition to a nice tool that I enjoy using a lot.

At 4:12 you describe the angled sacrificial fence as being "for dovetails". I think it is actually a trap fence used in conjunction with the trap jaws to help the work piece resist the upward force from the saw blade. It is installed with the thicker part up, so it is angled forward, not back. That's what one of the photos on their website shows. I don't see how it would be useful for dovetails
Thanks for the input.
Thanks for the review! They are having another sale - the precision fence is $485 with shipping. The actual JMP is $699 before shipping. Thinking about buying the complete kit.
You're welcome. I hate the fact that the Chinese own this company now, even though most of the tools were made over there anyway. I use my saw for small cuts all the time. It is very handy, quiet and quick. Does take up a fare amount of room. Thanks for watching.
I was surprised when I got my fence that the fence - while in inches - was graduated in decimals and not traditional Imperial measurements. How do you like that?
When cutting small parts I often use a digital caliper so I don't mind. Thanks for watching. If you have any tips be sure to share.
Yikes! That is surprising indeed.
if you tighten the thumb screw on the blue stop it will not move around on you.
Thanks for the tip.
That was my thought as well (don't own one.....yet LOL). After the macro adjustment by hand, then the micro adjustment with the screw you would then lock the silver knob and eliminate the side play.
Jeff, I just came across your videos and was interested in the Jointmaker with JMP upgraded fence. I was wondering if any of your other videos features the JMP, showing how you use it on actual projects.
Sorry I don't. I use it for making small precise cuts on small thin or narrow pieces. For me it is much easier moving the sled than cutting the piece by hand. I have not regretting buying it. Hope this helps.
@@JeffFischer1 Jeff, thanks for the prompt reply. If you have time, could you describe for me how to adjust the fence to make a miter cut. I can't seem to find it in the instructions. Also, have you found much in the way of instructional material regarding the joint maker? Thanks
@@glennebel5403 It is a straight forward process that I rarely use. Loosen the bolts, reset the fence, tighten bolts and make a cut. You would only use one side of the sled when doing miters.
Jeff, what kind of cutting tool is that?
Bridge City Toolworks Jointmaster Pro.
Bridge City Tool JMP. Thanks for watching.
It seems very complex. With the organic nature of wood, is it really worth the effort to be super accurate?
It is for me. Thanks for watching.
What a weird question
@@Devon.Martin Wood moves. It changes with humidity. So the need for super accuracy really is not there unless the individual wants it. You end up with sticking drawers for something cut with too close of tolerance.
@@JosephLorentzen if you know what you’re doing you account for wood movement in the design of your build and keep those tolerances in mind. Why wouldn’t you want your tools to be accurate? For the price of these things, they had better be.
@@Devon.MartinOnly 11 months to wait for your input on the question.
Mr. @Jeff Fischer this is my first time coming across your channel. I have been looking for a tool like this for a while now. I want to make smaller wood crafting projects and I just don’t have room for a shop full of tools. I’ve really wanted to find a more effective way of doing dove tails and finger joints..
Could I maybe ask you a couple questions? do you think buying a table saw, bandsaw, or router table is better than just going this route?
Do you see enough potential in it to pay itself off quickly?
I’m a Disabled Vet on a very fixed income, do you think it’s worth the price? And lastly, do you know any place that may sell a demo model or scratch and dent discount?… heck or a second hand one?
Any how, thanks for the video and answering any of the Questions. Have a good one and stay safe.
JK, this is a great tool and yes expensive. I bought it because I am not very good (horrible) with a hand held saw. This will do everything you want but it is slower than machine tools. Quiter than those as well. No hearing protection required. It may nick your finger but it won't take one off! I find it a great tool for small pieces so depending on the size of your work this may be all you need. I had all the other tools you mentioned before I bought this saw so I can't give you an honest opinion on which to buy first. As far as spending your money I will leave that up to you. If you would like to talk about it over the phone send me your number to jlfdrf@charter.net and a good time to call.
@@JeffFischer1 I had to get rid of and/or leave behind al my wood shop tools in WV when we moved to Cali. last year. I don’t have space for large shop tools and with my muscle Spasms and such, I can’t seem to cut a straight line anymore…. It looks like I could set it up to use in a seated position, which would be easier on my lower spine.
@@JK-zq9vw This tool would work well in that type of setup. Good luck!
great camera placement.
Thanks for watching.
show the adjustment JEFF!
Sorry ROGER! Thanks for watching.
