Wedge shim jig

thingiverse

Cutting shims out of scrap wood on your table saw requires precision, and here's how to do it: use a jig to stabilize pieces when working with machinery or plumb and level frames and surfaces. Wood, being a living material, can never be perfectly dimensioned, so shims are wedged in small gaps either temporarily or permanently to level and secure the piece. The STL file contains two separate pieces that you'll need to print: a sled that slots into your table saw's sled channel, and a top piece that clamps down a standard 2x4 block of wood. The bottom piece is designed for use with a Triton Workcenter table saw module, positioning the block of wood right up against the saw blade. For other saws, you'll need to modify the piece that slots into your Saw's sled channel and resize it to match the size of your channel. This jig takes up the entire print bed of a LulzBot Taz 6 printer, so breaking it up to print on smaller beds is not recommended.
