4.0 out of 5 stars Extremely lightweight - but it works!, August 21, 2000

I bought this tapering jig prior to tapering my first table leg. It was inexpensive, I was inexperienced, 'nuff said. The surprise came with its performance. Although I am confident that I could bend this thing in half if I was in the right mind, it does a really good job of guiding my workpiece through the saw. The adjustment feature is simple and easy to use, but the "graduated scale" is a bit hard to use accurately. To set it up, I simply adjust it by eye and then measure from the blade to the trailing edge of the guide. This trial and error usually takes no more than a minute or two, and the jig stays locked on my final setting for as many cuts as I need to make. Although there are nicer, more expensive versions out there, you cannot beat the value for the money with this tool.

I found this jig to be [poor quality], flimsy and inaccurate. It is hard to set up and flexes easily making accurate tapers impossible. Take my advise and spend a little more money for a good one or build one yourself. I threw it away.

Yes, anyone who might need this device could build it! I build one out scrap 2x4 a few years back for a specific project. This one is more compact,easier to use, much lighter, and in a well thought-out configuration. I, far-and-away, prefer to use jigs to make things then to build jigs.
