Abstract:
1. A woodcutting jig comprising (a) a template for guiding the path of a cutting tool, (b) a positioning beam, and (c) a plurality of positioning members removably attachable to the positioning beam for positioning the template in predetermined alternative locations along the beam, wherein the template is substantially shorter than the positioning beam such that the template is configured to be stepped over from a first predetermined alternative location to a second predetermined alternative location along a length of the positioning beam to facilitate cutting a piece of wood that is substantially wider than the template, wherein the template comprises a planar surface for contact with a cutting tool reference surface, and a plurality of spaced-apart fingers having at least one cutter guiding surface orthogonal to the planar surface to guide the cutting tool by contact between the cutter guiding surface and a bushing or cutter bearing, wherein when in the first predetermined alternative location, the template overlays at least two of the plurality of positioning members.
