In this week’s video, I make a jig to cut perfect mitered edge joints on the table saw - a.k.a Waterfall Corner Joints. This jig uses scrap plywood, a sheet of HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), a bit of 1 inch dowel and a toggle clamp.
The best part about this jig is that you never have to change the angel of your table saw blade. This jig secures your workpiece and prevents tear out on the outside of the joint.

Great video Eric, everything you said about tilting blade is so true.

@EricSorensenCanada 5 жыл бұрын

@Greg Bungard Thanks! Totally! It's the time it takes to square up the blade when you're finished too. Maybe it's easier on some table saws, like a Powermatic or a saw stop but not on my Ridgid contractor saw 🙂

Can you use this same technique (i.e. holding the wood against the fence) when working with a crosscut on non-plywood? I understand this is generally frowned upon.

@sapelesteve 5 жыл бұрын

Great jig build Eric! I was wondering how long a piece of wood it can handle? Just curious..... Keep up the great work................ :)

@EricSorensenCanada 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks Steve! It can handle an edge miter of about 12 inches and the length of about 24 inches comfortably. This is great for wine boxes, totes, wine racks and even drawer boxes.

Great design! Do you think that jig would work for longer boards? I have a 3’ tall planter/box that needs this cut?

@EricSorensenCanada 4 жыл бұрын

@scott b Thanks! Yes, it'll work but you'll need to build it a bit longer to handle that size and use an out-feed table, if you don't already have one.

Hi Eric! I love your jig. I'm new to woodworking, and was wondering what that lever clamp thingy is called that you use to hold your work piece on the jig?

@EricSorensenCanada 5 жыл бұрын

@Ruth Hadad Thanks! The clamp I used is called a toggle clamp. You can find them in packs of 4 or more on Amazon and they're fairly inexpensive.

How big is the sheet you bought from HDPE? I have a Ridgid R45171 table saw, the rails should be similar to yours. Which of the two would be more convenient? The 0.25 or 0.375 inches. Could you share the link where you bought it? Thank you.

@EricSorensenCanada 5 жыл бұрын

@Javier Reyes It is more than thick enough. You only need to cut it to the proper width. Then you can cut a rabbet or a dado on your base to offset the thickness. Here it is on Amazon: amzn.to/2X96aQ5

Hey buddy u ignited me, thanks for sharing your unique skill, just wana discuss few things how to make same jig for diff thickness, as in clamping should be adjustible.

you can buy toggle clamps that automatically adjust to any thickness material

Great video! I've been contemplating a similar jig for a while now. How did you determine the width of the bottom of the jig in order to leave the proper spacing to the blade?

@EricSorensenCanada 5 жыл бұрын

@nosheepdesigns Thanks! I had a piece of scrap that was the correct width between the blade and the miter track. Depending what brand of table saw you have, this width may vary. There is 1 inch of space between the inside edge of the base and the blade. This offsets the 45°angle overhang on the top. Once you have the triangles cut for your base, you'll want to dry fit to make sure everything is lining up properly for your saw.

I re sawn some quarter sawn 1/4” white oak for a turntable plinth and need 45’s all the way around. Don’t know if this would work but need to figure out something

@EricSorensenCanada 5 жыл бұрын

Bruno marcs The short answer is , yes. What you're building is basically the same type of box. This method works even better for solid wood, provided your parts are all square and exact in length. For something that is 1/4", you might need to build an inner frame structure first, so you have an easy way to attach the mitered corners.

@roofermarc1 5 жыл бұрын

What I have is a plinth 26” by 18” and approx 6” height. Just mdf glued together and want to use the thicker veneer I made myself. So you follow me. Cutting a miter all the way around.

@EricSorensenCanada 5 жыл бұрын

@Bruno marcs Ah, ok. That should be easier if you already have a an mdf box to mount it to. You just need super accurate miters. This jig would work fine. The pieces you have are basically trim so you could try the miter saw first if you have one.
