I was getting set up to cut the kerfs this morning and decided I want a better jig for doing it. The wood is already sized and beveled so it has to be on the bandsaw. Before I go reinventing the wheel, I'd like to see some of your bandsaw jig designs. |

I do something similar, but without the automatic feed. Once you get set up it goes pretty quickly. |

Wow! That is a very cool jig Michael. Impressive. I pretty much just buy linings now but sometimes I still make them and if I do I simply mark a pencil line on the bandsaw deck to mark the distance between blocks and clamp a piece of wood down to make a depth back stop and use a push stick to make the saw cut, slide it left and continue. |

It was really fun to design! Yes, it's based on a couple other designs but still took a few days to think it through. I've only had to set it up a couple times cuz I cut 100 pieces at a times - It takes 80 seconds to run one stick. |

Michael, would you consider making and selling one of these jigs? |

It is a cool machine, for sure! I unsuccessfully tinkered with something similar, but since I use relatively short pieces of kerfed lining (I glue sections), I am now just using my fret slot cutting sled, with two thin blades in the table saw. I can lay several pieces of lining material parallel to each other on the sled, then advance a kerf at a time by hand. Tedious, but a lot less tedious than doing every piece one at a time. |

I'd love one of those autometed jigs, but I haven't made one. I put together this simple jig. ...primative, but it works. |

Well I just finished cutting all the kerfs, eyeballing a line. Done. What a PIA. |

Instead of asking Michael to make me a jig, me personally, Mike,how much for a 32in strip of kerfed lining?

Anyone kerfing their own linings ever tempted to use a moulding bit and dress their next 00 up with some sweet ogee or ovolo kerfing ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Here’s a super simple method, though I’d be tempted to kerf all four pieces at one go before splitting lengthwise… https://youtu.be/sILu-WYTgv4 |
