The jig consists of a stop block that needs to be positioned on the fence part so that the distance from it to the slit on the fence part is equal to the length to which you want the pieces to be cut. The jig is quite easy to use, and in the first picture in our plan you can see how. This sizing board jig for crosscut is of a very simple construction and it can be made easily and quickly. So, if you happen to be in need for a jig like this in your amateur workshop, feel free to make one according to our plan. Of course, you can use the plan only for information and as an idea, and eventually tailor the jig construction to your specific needs based on it.
