The Simplest Tapering Jig
Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


I'm sure I've shown this before, but I had to cut tapers on some legs today, so I decided to take some photos and show you the simple jig I use. I make these jigs for the task at hand. I don't store them. They take 5 minutes to make from whatever scrap I have. The jig I made today was to cut tapers on 28" long legs, prior to turning. The jig is nothing more than a piece of plywood with a rear stop and a shim that's as wide as the taper you need to cut. These legs taper from 2.4" wide to 1.1", so the shim is 0.65" wide.
