Taper Jig

Build a fully adjustable taper jig for your table saw. Cut two- or four-sided tapers, straight edges, and angled cuts with accuracy and repeatability.

Make clean, accurate tapers with confidence using this adjustable table saw taper jig. Unlike one-off jigs that get tossed after a project, this design offers a permanent, versatile solution for cutting a wide range of angles. With a few pieces of hardware, you can fine-tune the jig to cut two- or four-sided tapers on legs of nearly any size—perfect for furniture projects and more.

The jig’s adjustability also makes it ideal for other tricky cuts, like creating a straight edge on rough lumber or making steep angled cuts without a table saw fence. Simple to build in just a few hours, it’s a smart upgrade for any woodworker looking for repeatable precision and flexible performance in the shop.
