Re: down scaled Jimmy Jig on my Table saw

Bro, I don't even know what "jejemon" means. What does it mean anyway?

Ha ha ha Ditto here.

Re: down scaled Jimmy Jig on my Table saw

you know what. I also thought jjws meant jejemon something ahhahahah. Like i said.. i thought about it for 30 minutes. i still downt know what jejemon means either. I just hear it ??

ill check out hans tools. with consumables id rather be able to buy them here (just seems a more comfortable notion to me) or if i can buy it overseas, ill get a few dozen

50$ yung combination thin kerf 10" ng Freud ... rip thin kerf is 39$ ata ... and crosscut is around 30 something din i think.

I hate changing blades so i am thinking about the combi

Re: down scaled Jimmy Jig on my Table saw

Looks like you have lots of space Bee ..... probably a second TS. 🙂 Dedicated Rips and Crosscuts. Wow that would be cool.

Are you happy with the Jet TS now given that it's got the new jig?

Re: down scaled Jimmy Jig on my Table saw

actually i have started to run out of space. Because of the huge assembly table i made out of plywood. It serves as outfeed na rin... and drawers under.. but seems positioned and sized inefficiently.. maybe in 6 months i will rearrange the basment.

A second TS would be greatly under utilized 🙂 hence i dont know. If i do get the gts10 or 4100 i may convert this ts to a thickness sander.

I am happy with the ts now... my rips are dead on accurate. I just need to make a crosscut sled. I dont agree with Macduff's design... Actually i dont even know if his name is Jim McCombie or Suemas Macduff or what.. anyway. His crosscut sled kasi has to be screwed down. its a set of 3 pieces acrylic. This to me takes too long to setup. I prefer mine to slap on and take off

My cross cut jig will ride the saddle. The fence saddle is fitted snuggly over the aluminum fence but slides smoothly... So in theory crosscut sled movement shoud be smooooth... theory.. I actually had my apprehension sa jimmyjig at first. Initially i thought it wont slide with ease.. heck i can use two fingers to slide it left to right 🙂 so perhaps the cross cut contraption will work. But i was thnking it might pinch or bend the sled since it is only riding on one reference and to the far right at that. so a runner hugging the left edge of the table is needed. but this left edge is not really squared (blame me :)) so i wil have to trim it down a bit

another option is to place another aluminim fence on the far left. But that means my cross cutting length is reduced

well i will be doing all this tonight till 3am maybe

slept at 5am this morning.... 5 hours watching tv instead of wood working.. what a waste... So now i have to ask my househelps to wear ear plugs hahaha

Also i will be using a measely 1/4 ply. cutting capacity is pretty compromised na kasi.

Re: down scaled Jimmy Jig on my Table saw

You sure have an interesting work schedule there Bee ... similar to Timber.

Re: down scaled Jimmy Jig on my Table saw

heheheh its killing me at work. I try to go to bed by 12 midnight... but lately my body clock is kaputz

heehehe, if I sleep by midnight, I am probably sick... lol

Re: down scaled Jimmy Jig on my Table saw

made a fence saddle that slides also on on the aluminum fence and works as a tenon jig WOOHOO!

ripped several pieces of scraps and hard wood (teak)

i s4s a really rough teak using my old TS rip jig ( i just removed the runners and had it ride against the fence) on two sides. The the other two ripped it the conventional way

ripping is smooth everytime. No sign of binding or fence misalignment. smooth smooth SMOOTH!

Added 2 inserts at workable widths. These widths allow me already to rip any size i want

been moving the jig left and right countless of times.

everything is a charm so far.

Will post pictures tomorrow. 🙂

The only thing missing in the jig is a fine adjustment mechanism. I would imagine a row of teeth right under the runners and hand cranked wooden gears...

The MDF will wear off soon i suspect. When it does i will be using aluminum runners

Hallawrerr, macduff inquiring if you received the piggie/back and the OZ down-under table saw with the over/head router. Have you constructed any of the updates slainte mhath macduff

Re: down scaled Jimmy Jig on my Table saw

hey MacDuff, welcome to pinoyhandyman, nice of you to join us...

Re: down scaled Jimmy Jig on my Table saw

The jig went through some shortcuts, not as Macduff had intended. This is due in part that i wanted to use materials i already had inthe workshop

the blade insert is painted orange, Just my personal preference. Its mdf hence it had to be coated so.. orange it is

clamping mechanism. I think this is simpler than a screw clamp. The pine (being springy somewhat) helps absorb most of the over pressure of the toggle clamp hence saving my runners from being crushed

here is my runner, rabbeted mainly due to bolts sticking out. a C purlins would've been better to use here and a thicker aluminim or a same thickness steel c-purlins would be better. But i didnt want to spend anything extra on this

of the OJJ, may I suggest you search in youtube seumas2 then click on seumas2 channels and open any of the 65 videos then you will get the drift and operations with safety being the main factor

macduff here the photos are a good copy
of the OJJ, may I suggest you search in youtube seumas2 then click on seumas2 channels and open any of the 65 videos then you will get the drift and operations with safety being the main factor

The OJJ, why a stationary or fixed fence and a sliding support platform, simple it will easily handle sheet material to 4ft. on centre in combination with the outrigger which has but one line of friction along the top of the pipe, this eliminates the need for large side and out-feed permanently mounted support tables, the outrigger is easily transferred to either the out-feed or the side support position as it is light and portable as is the whole system of the OJJ, ideal in shop or on site.
The fence once set parallel to the blade and at right angles to the sliding support platform, it will never deviate,yall of flex, removeable from the table saw and hung on the wall, eliminating wasted shop space.
All safety devices are rock solid on the stationary fence and ideally placed up front of the blade or cutting tool, over-head from the fence on a bracket with the support rod. All innovations will retro-fit any table saw, expanding the workable size of the small table saws.
To the aperture many other cutting tools can be added to extra, slidable inserts, which make the surface co-planer and placed where required to support material, removeable and re adjusted.
The dangers of kick-back and been adequately answered with the multiple choices of up-front safety device as is the riving knife added to an inset that self-alines with the blade, this eliminates the complacency and fear factor, helping woodworkers to count to ten on both hands for a lifetime of woodworking, the table saw being the most popular machine but still possibly the most dangerous to operate.
A simple diversion from macduff on other safety devices, resulted in the invention of the piggie-back and the down-under OZ table saw.
These straddle the OJJ as an addition or can be utilized on any flat table surface, even the kitchen table, with all-around prevention of contact with a cutting tool or blade, eliminating complacency. The saw and or router slides on a frame in an innovative aperture, sized in conjunction with the OJJ's or the kitchen table, the inserts slide with one another when PIGGIE-BACKED with the OJJ.
Multiple safety devices are used with the use of banding material adjustable to any position with in the aperture and the blade is even cover from the top with a see-through sliding plexi cover, alternately made for the safety devices on the stationary fence.
The piggie-back has two stationary fences one for lefties, both can be utilized with multiple tools in place at the same time and in conjunction with the OJJ can gang cut and router the edges. The piggie-back is simply clamped to the OJJ and or any flat surface for single use, light-weight at about 10 lbs will rip to 4 ft. if so designed. macduff can truthfully say on using the OJJ for over 30 years with the choice of multiple safety devices in place on a stationary fence, he has never had a kick-back. safety first at all times and don't be complacent.
