Jig Parts & Accessories

A woodworking jig is a specialized tool or device used in woodworking to assist in the creation of specific shapes, cuts, or joinery with precision and accuracy. Jigs are designed to help woodworkers reproduce identical pieces or perform specific tasks more efficiently. They can be simple or complex, depending on the intended purpose.

Common types of woodworking jigs include:

  1. Crosscut Sled: A jig used with a table saw for making accurate crosscuts. It typically consists of a sled that slides along the saw's fence, providing stability and control.

  2. Dovetail Jig: Used to guide a router or a handsaw to create dovetail joints, which are strong and aesthetically pleasing joints often used in cabinetmaking and furniture construction.

  3. Router Jig: Various jigs can be used with a router to create specific profiles, shapes, or joinery, such as dadoes, grooves, and mortises.

  4. Tenoning Jig: Guides the workpiece through the table saw to create tenons, which are protruding sections of wood used in joinery.

  5. Pocket Hole Jig: Used with a specialized drill bit and screw to create pocket holes for strong and discreet joinery, commonly used in cabinetmaking and furniture construction.

  6. Circle-Cutting Jig: Guides a router or jigsaw to cut precise circles in wood, useful for making tabletops, decorative elements, or rounded pieces.

  7. T Tracks: A T-track is a type of metal or plastic extrusion with a T-shaped cross-section. It is often used as a slot for holding bolts, nuts, or other accessories in various tools and fixtures. T-tracks are commonly found on router tables, jigs, and other equipment to provide a versatile and adjustable mounting system.

  8. Miter Sled: Similar to a crosscut sled but designed specifically for making accurate miter cuts at various angles.

  9. Box Joint Jig: Guides the workpiece through the table saw to create box joints, a type of joint often used in box and drawer construction.

Using jigs in woodworking helps ensure consistency, accuracy, and efficiency, allowing woodworkers to achieve professional results in their projects.
