Making Frames


Recommended Posts

I mentioned in another topic a jig I created to help cut the angles for a frame. The first picture is the jig itself. The metal ruler on the left side is turned with the numbers down. This side is used to make the first angle cut on the framing material. The right side is a standard metal ruler with the "0" (zero) flush with the blade on the table saw. The two pieces of ruler are at a 90 degree angle to each other and 45-degrees to the blade.

Because the ruler has a thickness, I'm able to butt the inside bevel (where the picture will be placed) against the edge of the ruler. After making the first cut on the left, I move the framing material to the right "ruler" and make the second cut to the length needed.

By placing the bevel against the ruler, I don't have to figure the depth of the bevel cut in the lengths of the frame pieces. The piece I am cutting in the picture is being cut at 10-inches.

Hope this is understandable. Let me know if you have any questions.
