Abstract:
1. A horizontal hold down jig, for use in horizontally guiding a piece of wood to be cut on one of a portable table saw and a portable router table having a moveable rip fence, comprising: a. a rotatable wheel secured proximate a distal end of a first tension arm; b. a base plate rotatably connected to a proximate end of the first tension arm; c. means for securing the base plate of the jig to a table; d. spreader means for positioning the rotatable wheel at a spaced distance from the base plate when the base plate is secured to the table; and e. spring biasing means for disposing the rotatable wheel along side the piece of wood, whereby, when the base plate of the jig is secured to the table with the rotatable wheel disposed in the direction of the piece of wood to be cut, the first tension arm is adjusted by the spreader means to positioning the rotatable wheel along side the piece of wood, so that the rotatable wheel applies spring biased pressure on the piece of wood before and during the cutting operation.
