Thread: Jig id?

Looks like a crosscut sled for cutting picture framing?

Home made; but quality work.

That was my first thought, but i am puzzled as to why the right alignment piece faces the saw slot, while the left faces away from it, on the other side of the adjusting slots.

Maybe it allows the timber to be cut on either the "push" side (LHS) or the "pull" side (RHS); this would compensate for odd profiles that can only be cut in one direction? That may account for the additional length of the jig on the RHS. Are there any mounting holes for the hold down clamp on that side as well?

Still just guessing.

I haven't seen it in the flesh but am taking steps to do so. I will report back.

Our club members have concluded that it is a jig for cutting angle segments, probably for making segmented bowls , vases etc.
And we think it is operated by standing behind the fence, with the original long workpiece protruding through the slot, which then gets moved forwards (and flipped) each cut.
