What would you say are the 3 most needed (often used) jigs in your shop? This is not limited any particular power tool.

1) Taper jig for tablesaw (what can I say? I like Shaker.)
2) Panel raising jig for tablesaw
3) Simple wooden block clamped to rip fence. Allows consistent length cross cuts with miter gauge/SMT on tablesaw. (I use this all the time when cutting tenon shoulders).MarcComment

I take it we're considering jigs (which are typically defined as something that moves with the workpiece) and fixtures (which typically don't move) as the same?
In that case, in my shop, the top three in order of most use would be:
Router table fence
Stop block for table saw rip fence
Table saw straight-ripping jigLarryComment

1) Router dado jig
2) Tenoning Jig
3) Spirocraft Router Jig (inlays and stuff)
I'll have some pics soon of the inlay work.

1. Thrown together last second home made need it now jig.
2. Well thought out really a project of it's own home made jig.
3. Wife is going to kiil me for what I spent at (fill in the blank) store bought jig.
I wish it could be culled down to a basic list for me, but I spend more time making jigs then cutting wood for the projects.
So how about the jigs I use the most:
1. Crosscut sled (#2 above)
2. Tennoning jig (#3 above)
3. Extra tall and very wide featherboard for bandsaw, for resawing (#1 above)

That's funny, just while I was reading this I saw David Marks use such a featherboard on woodworks to resaw some veneer...quote:Originally posted by Otter

I am still, mostly in the jig-making phase, so not much experience with importance yet.
