If you don’t have a jointer but you do have a table saw then this tablesaw jointer jig can get you by. It’s easy to make and very effective. The jig isn’t as good as a jointer, you can’t adjust the depth and it doesn’t leave as good a finish but it does square the timber up very well. It depends on the height of your saw blade but I get a 4″ cut off my 12′ saw blade, so not too bad!
Even if you have a jointer then this can still be of use, especially if you work with reclaimed timber. I’m happier to put that sort of material with its dust, dirt and debris through my saw blade and save the jointer blades for when I’m working with better timber.
As always I’m happy to answer any questions.

Idรฉia genial amigo! Parabรฉns!
This is cool. Got to make one. Does the type of blade matter? Should it be a rip blade with 24 teeth or a crosscut blade with 40 or 60 teeth? Thanks in advance.

Made one this morning , took all of 2 hours and it works like a charm and SO easy to use. Did a test and all was flat and square.
Awesome! What was the mill thickness of the laminate piece you used for the out feed side of the jig?
Damn, I like it a lot. Now I know what I’m doing tomorrow. Tx a lot
I don’t understand how the stock goes though the leading face of the tool and then it’s forced outward at the tail of the tool by the yellow material. That sends the stock through canted, no? Is that the intent?
But Iโm reluctant to put something through my jointer I do on the router table straight bit and offset the outfeed side of the fence mini jointer light on each side essentially
This was very good to watch thank you
Awesome vid. Thank you for posting.
Just made my first jointer jig works quite well. I’m looking forward to my B.C. fir 2X4 work bench table top I’ve been told I should be able to get away with just glue and clamp. I have a good piece of angle iron to start gluing the strips to should help take some of the bows out. I’ll probably do 5 or 6 lengths at a time then run those through the plainer. Then glue and clamp those together. Hope I can just get away with some belt sanding and or a little hand plaining. Thanks for some tips.

Legend! Cheers mate
This makes so much sense – no idea why everyone isn’t doing this. Great idea!
How does this work? Looks interesting just donโt quite get how it works
This is a project I will definitely be making this summer. Warped wood is all I can afford these days.
I’m going to be milling boards out of 3.5" X 12" X 36" slabs of purple heart and laminate back in a butcher block fashion for my kitchen countertops your jig is perfect as I don’t have a jointer but do have a thickness planer. I think you have saved me some time and frustrations LOL. Any tips that might help me on this project would be great. Anyone. I have never used this wood. I’m reclaiming 12 of these slabs thought this would be a great way to repurpose this beautiful wood. Thank again.๐
Still having trouble understanding the need for the laminate. Reduce resistance from the fence outfeed? Thanks for sharing. Good content!
To my fellow Germans. Donยดt build it in Germany. Especially not if someone else uses it.
This is a real and usable build. Well done and appreciate the video. Your shop skills and procedures tho are most entertaining and will get my like and subscribe. Spot on good job friend.
Glad I found this channel! I made this today and it works great!!!!!
Awesome. Thank you.
ya ini rekay
Brilliant idea! Thanks for sharing. I’m one of those out there who does not own a jointer – no space in my wee workshop – but this is definitely an easy win, and another great way to expand the usefulness of the good ol’ table saw. ๐
Thank you for not adding music to your videos.
Just commited to buy a jointer thicknesser combo. Had I have seen this earlier I would have saved a bunch of time and money. Anyway genius idea. You about to save a lot of people a bunch of money. Especially the casual woodworker
thanks so much for the tips and ideas ! this is great !!!
Just what I was looking for! Can’t afford anything else right now but the table saw I just ordered. This’ll be a very nice jig to joint the lumber we get here.
This is awesome!!!! ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ
great video….my jointer went down and this is exactly what I needed. Cheers
Genius! ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
i made a visrion of this where i shaved down the board from the back of the blade to the start so that i could edge/face joint up to six inches..
I make Kevin Sorensen’s words, mine! Thanks legend๐
So I am very new to wood working (as my question will show) but loving my journey so far. I am trying to understand what is happening with the jig that brings the wood into square? My brain cannot get over the idea that the additional โdepthโ is after the cut happens so how is that helping? It my head it seems like the magic would happened without that but obviously that is not the case. I expect this is intuitive to many but not to me yet if someone explains it, it will be like one of those hidden pictures you cant see. Here is hopingโฆ.
Very nice jig
Is that MDO?
Seriously I don’t know how I missed this Channel!. You are seriously one of the best craftsmen / designers on Youtube/Internet in my opinion!. We need more Ozzies/Poms like you doing this!.
One of the coolest things Iโve ever seen done with a table saw! ๐คฏ๐
My goodness! what an innovative way of using a table saw as a jointer. Neil, you are truly amazing, not only your craftsmanship but also you lovely Australian accent. Bravo!
!!Just love it!!! Thanks and greetings from Mรฉxico, my friend ๐
Pask – I have to agree with others that this is genius. You should patent this jig and sell it. The top could be set up to be adjustable. I just bought a Grizzly jointer and I’m about to send it back because I’m running out of patience with adjusting the 8 different table screws. I have a DeWalt 735 planer so even if this jig produces a few saw marks, I can easily plane them out – and sanding is also an option. One question, what type of stock did you use to build this and how thick is it? It may be in the notes, but I thought I’d ask just in case. I have some MDF shelving that I think will work well, but I also have 3/4" plywood – plywood seems like it could be a bad choice because of its layers. Thanks again. I have subscribed.
Built the jig and purchased the T shirt…..thank you. Did not have $1K for a jointer nor the room in my small work shop. Will be using the jig to join a laminated work bench top. soon…….tomorrow probably. I like your personality and I really like that T-shirt. I built the jig in a day using Melamine and used .040" thick sheet metal as the outfeed table. I initially had problems getting the jig square to the table, solved that with a better jig fit to the fence……….it must be snug! Can’t wait to use it.
I just finished making one of these based on your design. However, because I have a Ryobi table saw, I’ve had to make certain modifications that makes it look kind of over engineered. But at least its something and I had fun making it.
When the blade comes up it is just like sunrise
Great idea, an awesome way to make due with what got, and to substitute for what you don’t have. Thank you and God bless ๐
Great idea! And man your photography is incredible!!
Could you finish squaring it up with the jig rather than remove the jig to do the last 2 sides?
Fabulous! I just finished building a remote office and this would have really helped squaring up my rough cut redwood lumber. I’m going to build one today to use for my next project!
Very easy to follow along with and you didnโt make it complicated. I will be building one of these in the future! You just save me a ton of money lol
Just built this jig and confirm it does work excellently.
Hello from South Africa. This video came up on my suggested list and I immediately put it in my watch list because this is something I’ve been trying to achieve with my table saw. However, and I mean no disrespect at all, I am completely confused by the technical details you present in the video. I only mention this because I’m a supporter of the feedback methodology that may enable you to improve your content. If I’m not in your target audience then no harm/no foul… Thank you none-the-less for the cool video.
