Dear Colin I have looked at quite a few designs where the rear of the vice is either hinged or pivoted this is the first that I have seen that gives jaws that are not sloped but Parallel, so much safer. Many thanks Chris
Thanks again Colin. I am recuperating right now from a bad finger cut from a skill saw. So no one knows any better than I do about safety when it comes to our fingers and such. Thanks so much!
Thanks Collin. Exactly what I needed...and the magnetic drill vise. Take care, Peace. My old brain must be seeing things cuz I can't find magnetic drill vise anywhere now. But still thank you lol.
Hey Colin, nice build. Any particular reason you didn’t put the tnut on the other side of the board and epoxy the rod into the nut? Then again it serves the same purpose and can be dismantled should you need to replace pieces.
This is a great idea. I need this as well as something similar for my miter saw. It seems I'm always having to create a new holding method that never really is ideal to keep my hands away from the blade. I'm not sure why I didn't consider this before other than I look for the right now solution, not the right solution. Thanks
I tend to see something in a video and make a comment about it and my comments usually have nothing to do with the actual content of the video. I didn't mean to take away from your jig content because I liked the idea you presented. I've learned a lot of cool tips from watching your videos, thanks for sharing!!!
If you make the same jig with somewhat larger dimensions, couldn't you also hold "medium" or "larger" parts with it, in addition to "small" parts? What ultimately determines it when it becomes more practical and safe to use a sled with some kind of support to fix the workpiece?
You always have such wonderful and interesting tips! I'd love to see some more things pertaining to wood turning. I'm sure you would have some excellent knowledge to share regarding the lathe too.
So much easier and safer then using a pair of clamps to secure two parallel boards with a spacer at one end and the work piece at the other to your table saw miter slide, and such an easy jig build!
This jig reminds me of a standard hand screw wood clamp, for example the one at Rockler - www.rockler.com/wooden-handscrew-clamps-clamps - which I recommend using, just like this. Another suggestion for Colin (and others who generously make how-to videos) is tell me WHY you make the design decision, not just HOW to build it. For example, I'm mystified at the beginning about the dimensions - why did you choose 17" and 5"? Where did those come from and what do they relate to? A little explanation would be helpful to all of us who try to design jigs for our particular cases. That said, keep up the great work!
a council Colin; I think it is dangerous to adjust the screw on the side near the cutting edge, better and suitable on the opposite side, if the machine is on it is dangerous on the side of the cutting saw
I like your videos but I agree with the comments that this jig seems unnecessary, a sled or a band saw are better options and every workshop has (or should have) at least one of those. Of course I can be wrong, can you explain why/when using this jig would make more sense?
There isn't any "right answer" to that question. MANY people don't have a bandsaw and this option will work better than a sled for some people. Thanks for watching!
but why is it so big? i think it could be half the size and be already safe. If you have to "clamp" anything that long (even half) then it is not small anymore. I just dont get that
You are welcome for my viewing of your video.... I watch them all. I think I will kindly disagree with you on the wearing out of the threads. I have numerous jigs, and other applications that I have used threaded wood and I find the wood threads will last a very long time. I personally think it is something that common sense would tell you that wood will wear faster than metal and while I do know that to be true, but how much usage does these jigs and other wooden things get? How much usage would it take to wear out wooden threads before they become useless? I don't know because I have never worn any out to that extent. One of my box cutting jigs have probably cut several hundred lap joints and it is as tight as the day I made it probably 10 or 12 years ago. It has 1/2 by 16 threads and it cuts nice joints every time. Another thing that I think helps with longevity of wooden threads is usually there are more threads in the wood than in one of these metal nuts. Sorry for the long rant...
Nice jig but I'm laughing and hoping someone makes a woodworking parody video where the carpenter continually changes the design of the project again and again. If it ever finished it should look NOTHING like the original idea. April fool's day?
you shouldnt use a table saw for such small pieces. use a bandsaw. buy the correct tools and get some experience and you wont need to make silly contraptions like this. im getting sick of people making safety idea videos for ametuers but whats worse is when i see ametuers making them. lastly imo if you feel that you need a safety stop saw table, you shouldn't be buying any saw table. just need to use your brains and common sense a bit and also have some lessons from a professional irl. here's a tip: never cut a piece against the table saw rip fence if it is longer horizontally bc it will kick back if you did not know this. I might make a video of donts on a table saw, maybe you should? If not i will bc there are a lot of people on youtube that have just bought a table saw and showing others how to use it and giving tips when they have no business doing. go have a look they are not hard to find
well then linit your projects to the tools you have or can afford. hand tools can do most jobs. using power tools without experience or the wrong way will put you on the path to having your big toe instead of a thumb. Even without experience you should be ok using hand tools. also watch who you listen to on youtube. I can foresee someone making the contraption inn this video and on the last cut thinking, i cant be bothered and using the rip fence. Then as soon as that though crosses their mind they have a piece of wood inbedded into their forehead or eye. If you need to cut wood such as he is in this video, DO NOT use a table saw or make such a contraption, just be safe and use a handsaw. If you have not been taught how to use a table saw, you may get injured badly, im not sure i would reccomend someone to buy one if they have never used one before
if you find this tip helpful, you should not be using a table saw. These type of tips are directed at ametuers and a table saw is not for ametuers, never mind me, go buy yourself a table saw, listen to tips like this and others then in a few months you can come back and appolagise bc now you cant type aswell bc your big toe pushes two keys instead of one when you are trying to type with what used to be where your fingers were, your eye patch will make it even harder aswell. i am a cabinet maker of 20 years and have seen my share of accidents from people with "smart" ideas and no experience. do what you like but for anyone that wants to listen, dont think you can go off and buy a table saw, watch a few youtube videos and keep your body intact. There is a reason why cabinet makers have a 4 year apprentiship and there is a reason why apprentices are very well trained and supervised and over 18 before being left by themselves with a table saw. I just dont think making videos on tips for ametuers with table saws is a good idea, they should not have them. Wanna know where all my work comes from these days>? from people who think they can put a flat pack kitchen together and then either mess it up, hurt themselves or both. ill say it again, if you are gratefull for this tip, you should not own a table saw and that is basically my point and like i said above, instead of tips, someone should make a video about the DONTS on a table saw/panel saw.It may save some peoples hands. I have not seen anybody make such a video and after this i am considering making it myself. also, this here is not the worst table saw tips for ametuers, there are so much worse ones, it is just now when i have decided its the last straw and dropped this comment. Table saws have the highest diy injuries in emergency rooms too, i wonder why.
You are a gift to us all. That is a keeper
Das ist ja ein nützlicher Helfer, wird sofort nachgebaut
Great tool idea Colin, thanks 👍👍👍👍👍
Dear Colin I have looked at quite a few designs where the rear of the vice is either hinged or pivoted this is the first that I have seen that gives jaws that are not sloped but Parallel, so much safer. Many thanks Chris
Stealing this one for bandsaw and disc sander! Thanks Colin👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great Jig, Thank you
Thank you , you inovation are mostly perfect to use with very low cost.
Thanks again Colin. I am recuperating right now from a bad finger cut from a skill saw. So no one knows any better than I do about safety when it comes to our fingers and such. Thanks so much!
Very nice,
thank you for sharing
Very nice and practical solution Colin :) Thank you ॐ
You're welcome, Wood Yogi! Thanks for watching!
Nicely done
Muchas gracias!!! Muy util !!!!!!!
Colin the jig master! Thanks for another great jig.
I finally got a bandsaw, albeit it's a tabletop, but I think that will work out great for me.
Fantastic his will use this
I like this Colin. Safer is always better. I have a spare miter gauge that I am going to use for this jig. Thanks much.
Thank you for all the great tips! Please keep them coming.
You're Welcome!
Simple, elegant, clean! genial! Compliments as usual!!!
Thank You, christian!
It's useful to see the process of change as the project progresses
Thank You, Brian!
Great tips and jigs Thank for helping us saving our fingers an/or to avoid dangerous situations.
You're welcome, Hans de Groot! Thanks for watching.
Very practical jig ! Thank you Colin.
You're Welcome!
I appreciate that you included the design change. It is a nice learning opportunity.
Thank You, Jim!
Great idea! ......and simple!
Thank You!
By far the best table saw jig, I have seen in a long time. fantastic job.
I really like how you included your design changes as you went along. Thanks for the great video tutorials.
You're Welcome!
very good advice
Thank You!
brilliant idea
Thank You!
Thanks Collin. Exactly what I needed...and the magnetic drill vise. Take care, Peace. My old brain must be seeing things cuz I can't find magnetic drill vise anywhere now. But still thank you lol.
Great tip.
Thank You!
Great small part holding jig! Thanks
You're welcome, Mike! Thanks for watching.
That's a good idea Collin I like how you used the threaded bolts instead of clamps to hold the jig together 🍻
Hey Colin, nice build.
Any particular reason you didn’t put the tnut on the other side of the board and epoxy the rod into the nut? Then again it serves the same purpose and can be dismantled should you need to replace pieces.

Another great jig. I make the joys and toys models for charity and that will be a big help
Thank You, John!
thank you
that same jig could also be used on the miter saw . well with out the miter gauge of course . good stuff Colin
Yes, it could! Thanks for watching.
شكرًا
Think you
Dankeschön

Great idea Sir! Love the table saw hacks you have! Thank you so much!!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for sharing your great jig Colin!
Thanks for watching, Mark!
Great device, Colin. Thanks for sharing : )
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
You always have such wonderful and interesting tips! I'd love to see some more things pertaining to wood turning. I'm sure you would have some excellent knowledge to share regarding the lathe too.
Thank you. I hope todo some lathe tips soon!
So much easier and safer then using a pair of clamps to secure two parallel boards with a spacer at one end and the work piece at the other to your table saw miter slide, and such an easy jig build!

Good jig. 👍
Thank You!
Brilliant Idea Colin and as it happens, one that will be very handy for me in the very near future , Great video and many thanks for sharing! Bram
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
a question .. can i use disk 210 in dw745 .. then it has 250....for easy cut !!!
You do such a great job, please keep up the good work with safety always in mind.
Thank You, Eddie!
Very nice, Great Idea...
Thank You!
Good idea!
Thank You!
Hi Colin 👏👏👏👏
Hello!
Nice jig.
Thank You!
Good one Colin! Oh, and we know that you meant to say "17" LONG & 2 1/2" wide"....... :)
Corrected ... thanks for watching
simple et astucieux
Thank You!
Pretty cool but what can this do that a miter saw can't? Not saying it's useless, because it's not and looks pretty neat.

cool,is the jig birch?
Yes, it is! Thanks for watching!

...or you could just use a table saw sled and hold down.
beauxtx1959 that’s what I do
Just drill and tap the wood, you don't need that nut.
Using the nut will cause much less wear. Threaded wood tends to wear out quickly. Thanks for watching!

Not everybody has enough place or money to buy all the "correct" tools.

Imagine that! Look at the wire mess in your own video about a cabinet.
Great Idea, not to mention safe.............
