Make the base from either \u00bd\u201d or \u00be\u201d plywood. This one measures 6&#215;12\u201d. Add a support, 3&#215;12\u201d, for attaching the hold-down clamp. Glue a miter-gauge guide to the bottom of the base for keeping the jig square to the blade. As a safety indicator, consider painting a red \u201ccaution area\u201d where the blade enters the support. Finally, add a stop, held in place with the hold-down clamp for consistent lengths each and every cut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For a quick and easy method for cutting pen blanks to length, build this simple jig.
