Shop-Made Circular Saw Crosscut Jig

This crosscut jig is a combination of hardboard and plywood. The dimensions and drawings to build this can be found here: https://www.woodsmith.com/article/sho... , but I recommend leaving the hardboard extra wide to begin with. Use your circular saw to cut the jig to final width. By using your circular saw to size the hardboard, this creates a reference edge you can use to align your cuts. After marking your layout line on the workpiece it’s a simple matter to make a clean, square cut. Subscribe to Woodsmith to receive tips, plans, projects, and techniques both in print, and in video.
