3 most needed jigs

[Pappy]

1. Miter Sled (Frames)
2. Low Rip Fence (Safety)
3. The lastest Nifty-Swifty Jig posted on the forum that I don't have...

For me, it depends on how we define things. I don't use hardly any of my tools without some sort of home-made extra (is that a jig?). My BT3100 sets on it's own home-made base and the rip fence has a piece of melamine particle board with a t-slot at the top for a stop block or feather boards. My router table is home-made with it's own home-made fence. My drill press has it's own home-made top with a fence and slots for hold-downs, drawers, etc.. I guess I think of jigs as stand-alone pieces and with that definition I would say:

1) Saw board (or shoot board)
2) Nahm type jig for adjustable shelf holes in cabinets
3) Sled for coping cabinet doors

1. low rip fence extension ("L"-shaped) - i have one for my TS and one for my BS but we'll count this as one.
2. High/tall Rip Fence
3. miter gage fence for BS, with a hook for making staright and beveled corner cuts


I use a micro adjuster but i don't technically think its a jig.
