The knob that locks the blade on my table saw has been broken since I have had it and it is aggravating to tighten so I seldom angle it. I made this jig to bevel the sides of picture frames instead of angling the blade. I can bevel either side of the frame but have to do the front inside before I assy it.
It is a piece of 3/4 plywood for the base with a oak piece for the miter gauge slot. It has a piece of 3/8 plywood for the top sliding piece and angle side. I drilled two holes through bottom base to tighten sliding base down. Then drilled a hole in sliding base to tighten the angle side down. I slotted the holes in sliding base to allow for diff width frames side. I hinged the angle side with a piano hinge mainly cause that’s what I had on hand.

Nice jig for cutting those angles between 0 degrees and 45 degrees.

Thanks for the comments guys.
It can also be used to cut angle sides in most anything you can attach to it. I also use it to cut the spline slots in my picture frames by setting the angle side to 90deg and clamping frame at a 45deg to bottom.

Great idea. I wish I would have seen this about 8 months ago. I was making a box and wanted to chamfer the top. The table saw cut would have been too dangerous with the jigs I had available (I like my fingers) so I used a band saw. The cut came out very rough and added a lot of extra work.

Most excellent jig Dewayne!
I like the variable angle aspect of your jig, very versatile and well thought out.

Cool way to put a bevel on things Dewayne. Versatile too. I like it.
