I made one of those sled last year. It was recommended not cut the short grooves all the way thru. It's best to stop short of cutting thru by 1/4" so there is no possible way of accidentally exposing the metal part of the clamp to the saw blade bc it's often blocked from view by the work piece.
I’ve seen it done that way. I much prefer the through cut. Because there have been a few times where I needed every bit of that groove to safely clamp something down. Just gotta be thorough and check it
@@rhettdunn8788 I'm a beginner as title suggested. Pro's do things differently. hahaha. No matter how careful I am, all it takes is one slip up. For that reason, my pocket hole jig has two more holes on the bottom. I have plenty slip ups (non safety related) on table saws.
This may be the best page for a beginning woodworker, i.e. me, that I’ve come across over the last year. No BS, no flash, just real, practical advice, observations, and plans. Thank you. 👊
One thing often recommended is to use a 1/4-inch straight bit to hog out most of the material before coming back with the dovetail bit. This saves wear-and-tear and stress on the dovetail bit. MicroJig sells a mating straight bit to go with their dovetail bit with the matching yellow finish. They’re kinda hard to find, so I’d recommend using a 1/4-inch down-cut spiral bit - down-cut since you are cutting into plywood. Of course this method requires extra setups since you are routing the same groove twice with two separate bits. The way he does this in the video is quicker and somewhat more efficient if you don’t mind stressing the dovetail bit a little. And it obviously works just fine. I’m just bringing it up since I have read multiple places that it is better to clear out most of the groove with a straight bit before making the dovetail cuts. So, whatever. I love this jig. It’s going to be an early project once it gets warm enough in my garage to go out and “play”. 🙂
Good advice. makes sense. The second pass with the dovetail is taking only smaller sections to the side so the second pass should prob be quick anyway. I have a bosch set with a 12degree dovetail. Would that work with these 14deg dovetails? I know ideally you should match but not really finding any 12deg dovetail clamps near me.
Late to the convo, but you can always use your table saw or circular saw to run your line and get extra material out if, for some reason you don't have a straight bit. Not quite as effective but still works like a charm reducing the load on your bit. 👍
Hey Matt, I think I've told you before, I love, love, love your videos! Great info, skilled and experienced, inspiring and motivating, humble, honest, and humorous. It gets me thinking and questioning and practicing and learning. Even if I prefer a different product or method, your presentations are a great help and starting point. "If it's close, it's fine." That's my happy place! Thanks again! Added thanks to all the commenters for their priceless additional input and experience as well! Speaking of help from other folks, I'm thinking your "scrap wood" has to be true (or jointed) on the side against the fence, so use the side with milling paint, or shave it, or joint it true, no? Not so sure this was emphasized enough for novice DIYers like me. Thanks!
I just received my Microjig clamps. Now I'm going to start with this jig, then the next build for me will be an outfeed-assembly table that will incorporate the grooves for the clamps. THANKS for your videos. These are going to be AWESOME.
DUDE!! im so building one of these this weekend!! after a quick trip to my local depot and woodcraft!! love the videos, your a fantastic woodworking youtuber!! always so helpful and straght to the point!!
I bought the Microjig kit that came with two dovetail clamps and a dovetail router bit. On the box it said it is best to remove some of the waste with a table saw. This makes it easier on the router bit and will extend the life of the bit.
I was looking for a very beginners video on woodworking. I’ve never done any woodworking, so I knew in the first 10 seconds this video was way beyond me, but I watched the whole video because of your shirt! I love The Chosen! Now I’ll have to find that beginner’s video and learn a few things so I can come back and watch your videos when they would actually be helpful to me. Thanks!
Marilee, Matt's videos are great, I am a subscriber to his channel I was also, and kinda still am, a beginner in wood working. Some other really great channels are Steve Ramsey's, James at Stumpy nubs, Tamar at 3x3custom, Rex Krueger. I learned a great deal from Matt and all these other creators. Good luck, and keep making sawdust
I've been a carpenter for years . Don't overthink things and don't be afraid to wing it once in awhile . You might surprise yourself and when you make something awesome just by making it up as you go, that's gaining major experience. These videos are great and God bless all of the men taking time to do it but it's borrowed knowledge. Build a birdhouse. Don't look it up just start . Cut 4 boards as your base and go. Do you.
I used this principle last night, & it was a life saver! Thank you. :) (I just screwed the board onto a straight edge, since I didn't have the right clamps, & only one piece to cut.)
I love watching your videos. Not so much for the woodworking info (although that's the reason I first found you), but to see what your t-shirt will say. Keep it up, brother.
Holy smokes, 4:47 is EXACTLY what I've been looking for so that I can cut risers for a simple wheelchair ramp. I can get really close cutting by hand with a circular saw, but a jig makes this quick and on the money.
LOVE THAT SHIRT, (The Chosen to..lol) BROTHER! I have the same in long sleeves! Great tip, I'm going to need to try this..Love your tips and tricks, I'm new to woorworking, but love it and the tips help! Thank you!
You've just saved me quite a bit of money that I was going to spend on a jointer/thicknesser, and you've saved me some space in my small house as well. I think I'll use some of the money saved to buy some aluminium T-tracks and put them on the sled. They should be more durable than the plywood grooves.
Was a game changer. When I made my first one I was so broke I couldn’t afford clamps so I would use a couple wood blocks to screw into the plywood base. Still worked great for a super tight budget
I made something like this. Instead of routing grooves for clamps, I just attached some toggle clamps to the board. It worked perfect for what I was doing.
6:07 - One way to avoid this potential issue is to not route that dovetail groove clean through on that end of the board. Leave a 1/4” or so as a stop for the clamp arm 🤓💪 Great jig. I’m definitely making this
If you buy a 3rd clamp, you could use it as a grip to push your jig through the saw. When you buy the clamps look to make sure you get a bundle that includes the dovetail bit. Note: most bundles include the 1/2 inch shaft on the bit. they do make a 1/4 inch dovetail bit but not usually included in the bundle.
Looks incredibly useful, I'll have to give it a shot! The purpose of the width-wise dovetail grooves seems clear, but what's the purpose of the length-wise grooves?
I made a 12" wide plywood and installed 2 t-tracks across the width. I then use a couple of Rockler style hold down clamps to hold the wood in place. There is no worry about hitting the end of the clamp. I make my Rockler-style clamps using plywood and toilet bowl bolts and knobs. If I hit the clamps - no big deal.
This is awesome. You have some of the best tip/tricks and woodworking videos in general. Now I’m off to watch the cross cut sled video. Thanks for all the time you take to make these.
Another awesome video - I'm a newbie woodworker and using a scrap piece of MDF shelving just built the fence model. I like that you used a hand router rather than a nice big router table which many of us amateurs don't have. Since I have the same DeWALT 7491 saw I am also building the miter slot version since the job site saw fence is kinda iffy. In fact, it would be awesome if you could do a video on how to make that saw and fence as accurate as possible. At any rate, I bought the starter set of MICRJIG clamps and dovetail bit and just ordered four more clamps - and your video was so helpful in educating me as to how great this system is. Thanks, Larry
Here's a tutorial on setting up a jobsite saw for woodworking. She uses an older saw than yours, but she specifically recommends the one you have as the replacement for it since hers isn't made anymore. But they share a lot of the same features, so it will probably be of some use: ruclips.net/video/22oqr6o5z-w/видео.html
Matt, I have an in-progress project currently where I thought I needed a jointer and I thought I needed a tapering jig. This just solved for both of those problems. Double virtual fist bump! 👊👊
Thanks for sharing! I am very new to woodworking and I'm looking for things to make the process easier and safer. I made this fixture and it works great. I made a video of the process and tagged your video in it. Thanks again!
Thanks, Matt. Quick question: if you're jointing but not tapering, how do you ensure a perfect right angle between the long edge and the end of the piece? Don't you need a fence at the end of the jig to butt the piece up to?
I see that Rep power rack in the corner, same coloring as mine. I already was enjoying your advice and tips, but seeing that is what solidifies that your my go to woodworking channel 🤣🤣 💯
well I never thought I'd buy something via affiliate marketing, but I've been wanting to build tapered leg tables and chairs for quite some time now. Liked, subbed, AND video saved for future projects!
You can also unscrew the set screw at the top of those clamps and flip the clamp direction, making it impossible to hit the blade. It'll still provide plenty of clamping pressure in reversed orientation.
I always “pre-glue” end grain since end grain absorbs more. I apply the glue, wait 5 mins to dry, then apply final glue. I believe this makes for a stronger glue joint
I did something similar to what you have made. I used a piece of plywood with a factory edge 4 feet long that goes against my tablesaw fence, then ran two T - tracks at 90 degrees to the fence that is about 9 inches long. used two of the 2 1/2 bolts for the t track with a piece of plywood that runs parallel with the tablesaw fence. I use that to "bolt" down the piece i want to have a straight cut on. works pretty good surprisingly. it's very basic just to make a clean straight cut on some lumber. slowly getting business / work area organized then i'll worry about my channel and other things.
Ooh nice one mate. Quick and concise video that gets to the point. I like the jig, it's a great idea and the fact you show it on a jobsite saw (which a lot of beginner woodworkers have) is great.
I'm a very low level woodworker. In fact, I'm not even a woodworker. I just often have to create angle cuts on a table saw at my job (a circular saw may work, too, but I haven't figured that one out yet, either). The pieces I cut are fillers used between cabinets and the adjacent wall. The beginning dimension of the filler is 2 to 1" wide and ranges from 2 to 6 feet in length. I'm trying to figure out how to build an angle jig that would accommodate this length and width of material. What crossed my mind, however, is that considering that you can cross cut a piece of wood at an angle by angling a mitre gauge, couldn't you similarly rip a piece of wood on an angle by feeding the piece through an angled fence? If you can, couldn't you create a jig that attaches to your fence and adjusts to an angle so that you can feed the piece along the fence to create the angle? Of course, the wider side of the cut would be behind the blade to avoid pinching the wood and creating kickback. Maybe that's not possible (or is dangerous to do). I'd be interested in your input. Thanks.
You say (4:37) that the straight edge goes against the saw and the chamfer end goes against the fence. I thought the straight edge was the guide that goes against the fence. What am I missing?
Hello, At the 1:35 mark you have cut the 2 long grooves on the board. If you are using the short grooves for the clamps, what is the purpose of the long grooves. Would someone please explain.
Howdy Mr. 731.... Great video. I use a sled very similar. These are extremely easy to build and work great. A definite accessory every woodworker should have.
One thing I saw on another video, glue a piece of wood for the miter track first, then use that as a guide to rip down the jig on the table saw , and that will line up the miter track parallel to the jig.
You're phenomenal! I've been looking for options to avoid having to buy another piece of equipment as I'm onna budget and in a small work space. THANK YOU!!
Wow, your channel has grown! I was subscribed before COVID but stopped woodworking primarily due to back/neck issues shortly thereafter. About the time I quit, you had made the decision to go "all in" on your channel. I am happy to see you with 437,000+ subscribers. I am thinking of gently coming back to woodworking. I'll be back. 😁
Made mine a few years ago with a 3/4" wide strip glued to the bottom to use the miter slot and keep the fence out of the picture. Added a second one on the other side of the blade to get zero clearance cuts ... and to support longer boards cut at almost angle you desire.
It seems like half of woodworking is making jigs, at least for beginners lol. This is the best jig I’ve seen in quite a while. Thanks for the great video.
Get a jointer with iron cast tables. You will save a lot of time and precision. Also you will be glad you did it. More productivity. For ocassional woodworking maybe this tricks are ok, but for creating at a faster pace, get the jointer. Standing drill is the one that could wait.

Made one years ago. It is good for edge jointing. Flattening a face with a jointer is a help if set up properly.
This is a great idea if you need to straighten a board along it's length. If there's a twist or it's cupped then a jointer is necessary
You've just saved me quite a bit of money that I was going to spend on a jointer/thicknesser, and you've saved me some space in my small house as well. I think I'll use some of the money saved to buy some aluminium T-tracks and put them on the sled. They should be more durable than the plywood grooves.
Nice to see you care about safety on your machines, and in the way you handle them.
Most guys on RUclips don’t 👍 and the tips are great 😊
The high fence way to use this is so darn obvious, it had never occurred to me. You rock.
Was a game changer. When I made my first one I was so broke I couldn’t afford clamps so I would use a couple wood blocks to screw into the plywood base. Still worked great for a super tight budget

Stair case stops for framing square work very well for that edge on plywood. Great video. I need to get some these clamps.

6:07 - One way to avoid this potential issue is to not route that dovetail groove clean through on that end of the board. Leave a 1/4” or so as a stop for the clamp arm 🤓💪
Great jig. I’m definitely making this
That is the best idea with multi use purposes and ideal for carrying or transporting to wherever you need to
The value of a jointer is face jointing. Edge jointing is easy to do in a number of different ways.
Love the message on your t-shirt... subtle and so true!
OK those dovetail clamps are amazing. I had no idea those were even a thing!
If you buy a 3rd clamp, you could use it as a grip to push your jig through the saw. When you buy the clamps look to make sure you get a bundle that includes the dovetail bit. Note: most bundles include the 1/2 inch shaft on the bit. they do make a 1/4 inch dovetail bit but not usually included in the bundle.
Looks incredibly useful, I'll have to give it a shot! The purpose of the width-wise dovetail grooves seems clear, but what's the purpose of the length-wise grooves?
Excellent project, so many possible uses. Thanks!!!
That inset RUclips award in the bench is by far the best way I've seen one of those displayed haha. Awesome 🦖
Thanks. It took some thinking lol video here ruclips.net/video/CCnbT7qk9V0/видео.html
I made a 12" wide plywood and installed 2 t-tracks across the width. I then use a couple of Rockler style hold down clamps to hold the wood in place. There is no worry about hitting the end of the clamp. I make my Rockler-style clamps using plywood and toilet bowl bolts and knobs. If I hit the clamps - no big deal.
Hi from the UK, excellent idea, going to try one of these as I don't have a jointer!
I really like your channel and I wish you would do more projects. A lot of the projects you do like the mallets with coins are inspiring.
Very good advice, clear directions.
This is awesome. You have some of the best tip/tricks and woodworking videos in general. Now I’m off to watch the cross cut sled video. Thanks for all the time you take to make these.

You can also unscrew the set screw at the top of those clamps and flip the clamp direction, making it impossible to hit the blade. It'll still provide plenty of clamping pressure in reversed orientation.
Tip on preventing the clamps from hitting the saw blade. Put #6 pan head screws on the end of the dove tail channels as a stop for the clamps.
This is an awesome jig, I am going to make one today.
This is awesome. I'm learning more from you than all of the other vids I've been watching combined!
Great tips on the jig. Thanks buddy.
I always “pre-glue” end grain since end grain absorbs more. I apply the glue, wait 5 mins to dry, then apply final glue. I believe this makes for a stronger glue joint

cool project idea. well explained and I can now see many uses for this.
Great build! I never thought about using it as a high fence….great idea!!! 😎👊🏽
Maybe add an L fence attachment...
I did something similar to what you have made. I used a piece of plywood with a factory edge 4 feet long that goes against my tablesaw fence, then ran two T - tracks at 90 degrees to the fence that is about 9 inches long. used two of the 2 1/2 bolts for the t track with a piece of plywood that runs parallel with the tablesaw fence. I use that to "bolt" down the piece i want to have a straight cut on. works pretty good surprisingly. it's very basic just to make a clean straight cut on some lumber. slowly getting business / work area organized then i'll worry about my channel and other things.
Ooh nice one mate. Quick and concise video that gets to the point. I like the jig, it's a great idea and the fact you show it on a jobsite saw (which a lot of beginner woodworkers have) is great.
Dude! I dig this jig!
Great idea, a useful RUclips jig I actually want to make.
Awesome jig. I'll be making one soon.
Great stuff. Well explained, simple enough, versatile to use. Thanks again for the content
This is the best video ever. You are amazing
I'm a very low level woodworker. In fact, I'm not even a woodworker. I just often have to create angle cuts on a table saw at my job (a circular saw may work, too, but I haven't figured that one out yet, either). The pieces I cut are fillers used between cabinets and the adjacent wall. The beginning dimension of the filler is 2 to 1" wide and ranges from 2 to 6 feet in length. I'm trying to figure out how to build an angle jig that would accommodate this length and width of material. What crossed my mind, however, is that considering that you can cross cut a piece of wood at an angle by angling a mitre gauge, couldn't you similarly rip a piece of wood on an angle by feeding the piece through an angled fence? If you can, couldn't you create a jig that attaches to your fence and adjusts to an angle so that you can feed the piece along the fence to create the angle? Of course, the wider side of the cut would be behind the blade to avoid pinching the wood and creating kickback. Maybe that's not possible (or is dangerous to do). I'd be interested in your input. Thanks.
Excellent jig, fantastic description of use and options.
You say (4:37) that the straight edge goes against the saw and the chamfer end goes against the fence. I thought the straight edge was the guide that goes against the fence. What am I missing?
Hello, At the 1:35 mark you have cut the 2 long grooves on the board. If you are using the short grooves for the clamps, what is the purpose of the long grooves. Would someone please explain.
I can see the glitter in the glowing pieces
Howdy Mr. 731....
Great video. I use a sled very similar. These are extremely easy to build and work great. A definite accessory every woodworker should have.
Really diggin ur videos. I’ve built a couple of your tool carts and love em. I wanna build one of these next.
I’m a fan of your shirt!🙌🏻
One thing I saw on another video, glue a piece of wood for the miter track first, then use that as a guide to rip down the jig on the table saw , and that will line up the miter track parallel to the jig.
Thanks for sharing those tips and the make!
Merci pour cette astuce. Thanks for the trick
You're phenomenal! I've been looking for options to avoid having to buy another piece of equipment as I'm onna budget and in a small work space. THANK YOU!!
Great video! But if you can afford a beginner level jointer then get one. it is good to have a jointer too.
Well I have my afternoon planned out! Thanks Matt!
Clever. I like it.
Wow, your channel has grown! I was subscribed before COVID but stopped woodworking primarily due to back/neck issues shortly thereafter. About the time I quit, you had made the decision to go "all in" on your channel. I am happy to see you with 437,000+ subscribers. I am thinking of gently coming back to woodworking. I'll be back. 😁
Made mine a few years ago with a 3/4" wide strip glued to the bottom to use the miter slot and keep the fence out of the picture. Added a second one on the other side of the blade to get zero clearance cuts ... and to support longer boards cut at almost angle you desire.
This was an awesome video! Thanks!
It seems like half of woodworking is making jigs, at least for beginners lol.
This is the best jig I’ve seen in quite a while. Thanks for the great video.
It's at least half the fun of woodworking lol
Wow that's awesome. Thanks for the video.
thank you
I can’t justify the expense of a jointer…. nor do I have room in my garage
this is an excellent solution
I made one about 3 months back. It was a game changer. Not as thought out as yours since I made it in 10 minutes but still a great idea.
Great video. Very awesome. I'm gonna make one.
Thanks, i will make my working table with your dovetail tips instead of buying t-track. 👍
Love your enthusiasm, great video thank you. I'm a beginner and you have been extremely helpful!
Thanks, this is awesome, and the video explained everyrhing very clearly. Really like the quick presentation, and lack of fluff
Lovely video and a handy jig.
How is this a replacement for jointer?
We like your choice of woodworking uniform. 😉
Get a jointer with iron cast tables. You will save a lot of time and precision. Also you will be glad you did it. More productivity. For ocassional woodworking maybe this tricks are ok, but for creating at a faster pace, get the jointer. Standing drill is the one that could wait.
Such a sweet jig! Will be building this one for sure. Thanks for sharing with the community!
