Mystery Jig... I think -->Can you tell me what it is??

[jlanciani]

It’s part of the Garrett-Wade “universal assembly jig”, see here; http://www.thewoodshop.20m.com/garrettwade1.htm

Is there a company name molded into the plastic parts or stamped into the extrusions?

There is nothing on the box or any of the parts...

I'm wondering if it might be a fixturing jig for putting together base cabinets??? 

Thanks!

I'm going to take a wild guess and offer that it's an assembly jig from Garret Wade.

Well the review indicated the extrusions aren't square, so it sounds like it is a tapering jig, of sorts.

Something not being square does not automatically make itself a tapering jig! I hope someone, if not the owner of that half of the jig, can demo how that assembly jig could be meaningfully used as a tapering jig on the table saw.
Any volunteer?

I would use it for a stop for how wide you cut the wood and keep cutting it thin or thick and not have kick back.  Well that is what I would us it for anyway.  I am always worried about the guys and gals and their fingers.

You're kidding, right?  You can't see how that could be used as a tapering jig?

Show, don't tell.

I have seen and used my share of tapering jigs, including the fancy Micro-jig tapering jig, which you can dial to precise angles. I'd be happy to be informed as to how that GW's half jig could be used as is to safely taper cut 1/4" strips or legs, etc. on a table saw.

Clamp the material to be cut to the jig at any angle/position desired using the provided t-slots and hold-downs, run the jig against the fence and cut your workpiece.
