build-it system jig plans
T
he crosscut box is by far the most common and, in many cases, the most important jig in the shop. While it’s most obvious benefit
is that of providing support and accurate results when crosscutting large planks, it is also a necessity for the safe handling and cutting
of small pieces. Since both sides of the crosscut box slide together, nothing is left next to the blade after the cut is made and the jig
is moved back to the starting position. You can quickly and safely remove the cutoff and advance your stock for the next cut. Add a
Build-It Clamp to provide a secure hold on your workpiece and a 90-degree cut for your next slice and dice operation is a sure thing.
Add a Miter Slider to each of the 2 large Build-It Panels using the line of mounting holes closest to the edge of the panel. Attach a
T-Slot Panel Connector to this same edge on each panel. Adjust one of the sliding assemblies for the left miter slot and the other for
the right. Remove the assembly from the right slot. Attach the small Build-It Panel to the left side assembly and run through the saw
blade to trim off the excess. Remove the left side assembly. Now, replace the right side assembly in the right hand miter slot. Add
the remaining piece of the small Build-It
Panel and run it through the saw to remove
the excess panel. Replace the left side
assembly and use double-faced tape and
a square to add the bridge and fence to
the Build-It platform. Position the fence
to favor the left or right side of the blade
to suit. Carefully slide the assembly out
of your miter slots and turn upside down.
Use #8 x 1” pan head wood screws with
washers in the counterbored holes to
secure the bridge and fence to the panels.
Add a T-Track Plus and make the stop
shown for repeatable cut length control.
