In this Tips From the Workbench video GCA Technical Services Manager Jack Landis shows how to make a simple wooden jig to help cut stocks to length and keep everything square and neat. His saw is using a Freud Thin Kerf blade for smooth and chip free cuts.
This simple and easy to make jig will help ensure that your stock-cutting jobs are accurate, easy, and give a good result that will keep your customers coming back to your business. Of course, fitting and shaping a new recoil pad is a whole other lesson.
If you have any tips of your own for this job, please share them in the comments below.
Thanks! That may be the best and most useful tip I’ve seen yet. Keep up the great work!
I like that technical term you used for the 10/22 stock…shwoopty-do.
Great little fixture. I have been using a carbide tipped plywood blade on my radial arm saw. I’ll put together one of these little fixtures next time I need to shorten a stock.
So what do you do if the stock you are cutting was not cut square in the first place?
Jack great idea!
