grabcad

This text describes a custom-built jig for cutting frame pieces on a table saw, ideal for picture frames. The jig fits in a miter slot and allows adjustments to cut joints at 0 to 45 degrees left or right. It includes knobs for angle settings and blade cuts, with a slide function for making passes. A photo showcases a work-in-progress frame demonstrating the jig's cutting capabilities. The author mentions using it to make window frames for a doorway transom, with routing out a curved slot being the most challenging task. They offer to create instructions upon request and express interest in receiving High Density MDF appearances for future projects. The use of MDF in this project stems from its free availability and low friction melamine surface, which ensures smooth sliding on table saws.
