Woodpeckers Precision Taper Jig

ost of the Shaker-inspired furniture I build has some form of tapered leg. When announced their Precision Taper Jig, I knew it would have a place in my shop. As you can expect, the Precision Taper Jig has some features that make it a sheer joy to use. One of those features is the angle gauges with interlocking teeth. There are two on the jig—one for angles from 0-7° (in 0.25° increments), and a second for 0-15° in 0.5° increments. Another feature that I love is the handles that do double-duty as workpiece hold-downs. A replaceable MDFbasekeepsthejig zero-clearance for tear-free cuts. The Precision Taper Jig is set to ship in late October 2021. —
