I just finished my kerfmaker last night. Thanks to to all that posted their kerfmakers before me. (I still like mine the best ) ;-)
I used scrap maple and mahogany. The bolt I had laying around. So, cost $0.
What fun it is to work with, after the kerfmaker is tuned in to the width of the saw blade!
Below is a video from Bridge City Tool Works on their fancy KM-1 kerfmaker. They did a superb job on the video.

Nice design.

I’ve obviously not been paying attention – this is the first if these I’ve seen. Why buy it when you can make it, eh? I may have to try this myself. Great idea!

No, I’m not, I like yours because of the design with the tighten bolt on top.
But what I meant are acually that for you, yours are the coolest – so yes a little.
Big smile,

I think I prefer the wide, nut-on-top configuration to the narrow, lays-on-it-side type.

Ahem, please enlighten me! What do you use it for? I can’t watch the video, my farm dail up connection takes so long to download video, I can go and cut some dovetails!
