I have a 2 x 10 I'd like to rip into 2 x 4s (with a full 4") msmt. Is that possible with this jig?

You might be able to. It might be a little tough. Just make sure to apply paste wax under the jig to ensure a smooth glide over the material. Hope this helps. Juan

I haven't attempted what you've described, but I think in can be done. As long as the stock is well secured and the saw is supported by placing another piece of stock next to the one that you're ripping it should be do-able.
499724
Yes. Assuming a 2 x 10 is actually 9-1/2" wide and your blade width is 1/8", then your leftover would be 1-1/4". If you find some way to anchor the leftover, you will produce beautifully ripped pieces. One way would be to screw the leftover down with deck screws, then rip the cuts. Or, if you have a long enough deck railing, you could screw the leftover to support pieces, then clamp the support pieces to the railing. I've ripped 1 x 6's with less leftover. It's nicer than a table saw for very long lengths.

Yes Mark. It's quite possible. I have rip cut 18mm ply with this jig into 1" wide strips for a job. I have also cut prelaminated particle board with this. I have had no issues. But one thing when cutting small strips. Be careful about the position of the hands. You need to balance the jig and have the piece you are cutting, steady.

Absolutely. I used the Rip-Cut on 4 x 8 MDF to build six radiators. Once it's calibrated to your saw, it's a little cumbersome at first but with a few passes you get use to the feel. It definitely makes your work fast and easy without the use of a table saw.
499727
Yes, very easily. Once your saw is mounted to the rip cut and adjusted to show correct width of cut, set at 4 inches and cut away. On the second cut, ensure your saw is "riding" on the 4 inch board to help stabilize the saw better.

I'm sure it could. I've cut through 2 x 4 stock (which is 1 1/2" thick) many years ago with a very muchlower powered and lighter weight jig saw. Just go slowly, use a sharp blade, and let the saw do the workwithout forcing the cut.

Technically there is no reason you couldn't I guess - the bar is a different piece. However finding suitable metal, tapping new holes, etc might make it more trouble than it is worth. I had search for a jig for a smaller slotted saw and eventually decided on a bigger saw. The only other option is to make a jig using many of the available patterns online. Might not be the answer you were looking for, but hope it helps. : )

First of all, this jig drills 1/4 holes and it requires 1/4 shelf pins not 5 mm shelf pins. Secondly this jigs comes with a pin that allows you to move the jig up or down so you can continue the shelf pins holes at the same spacing and position. What you are trying to do sounds a little risky since you are starting with someone else's spacing and work. I love my jig, but I use it for my own work and I do not try to use it as an addition to somebody else's work.

yes with no problem.... you would need to use a straight cut bit, 1/4" or maybe even a little smaller 1/8" just take it easy and it would work fine.. you can do some amazing things with this tool.... you ought to see some of the artwork I have done with it.....

Not without replacing the whole chassis. It would cost more to convert than buy a 4 x4

Depends on what type of projects you are trying to accomplish. I have been a little disappointed in my kreg jig honestly. It is good for joining 1x dimensional lumber but not good in joining 1x to 2x or 2x to 2x. Id imagine if you went smaller than 1x, it would provide very little strength to joints. The master system gives you a few bells and whistles like the clamp but you're fine saving a few bucks and going with another if you wanted.

Yes. I feel like this sets up to work best on 1 Xs since you can align it to the end without measuring a setback, but a guide/chart is provided with it so you know exactly how to align this for a variety of thicknesses. If I were to buy all over again I probably would have gone with the 2 hole setup since I use this thing ALL the time now. But, this is fantastic for smaller, quick projects.

Hi, Yes you can, as long as the rest of your components are compatible with 3x9 speeds. Good luck!

Hello Lorenzo,You would want 1-1/4" screws to connect two pieces at the 3/4" jig setting. Hope that helps.

You can't. Jig and router much too large. You are better off using a hole saw bit for that size and then cleaning it up with the router.

10D no problem...12D.. depends on what kind of wood.. Joining 2 2x4's no problem.. WILL NOT drive sinker nails.. overall great tool , easy to use, small size important to me as i have a very small hand,

Joe, The simple answer to your question is yes. The base comes disassembled with 4 corners and and extension bars that you fit between the corners creating the length you need. Since the holes are spaced 1" apart you would build your base 25" x 30". The extra 1/4" all around won't make any difference. Since you're looking at the 2000 you must have a heavy machine. It shouldn't move around in the base. In the unlikely event that it does, you can use wood shims to immobilize it. One tip; think about whether you want the levers in the front or the side before you put your machine in it.. Hope this answers your question. Joe, The simple answer to your question is yes.

I haven't tried to do it, but the product overview states "Cutting capacity; crosscut at 0-Degree miter, 0-Degree level 2-3/4 in. x 12 in.; Miter at 45-Degree miter, 0-Degree bevel 2-3/4 in. x 8-1/4 in.; Bevel at 0-degree miter, 45-Degree level 1-9/16 in. x 12 in.; Compound at 45-degree miter, 45-Degree bevel 1-9/16 in. x 8-1/4 in.", so it looks like you could do it at a zero degree miter but not at 45 degrees.

The base of the two larger bits have a shank that will fit a 1/2 chuck. If thats what you got, than thats all it takes.

The practical answer is 4 1/2" material is too large. If the material was 4", then it would be less "impossible". The hang-up would be: clamping the material to the box to hold it steady and supporting the length of the material. This box is just not designed to do this job. Having said that, I love a challenge: you might find a way to hold the material steady using clamps and setting up a temporary jig. I'm not suggesting this, but I would probably try since I own the box already. The best answer I can give you is this: this tool was never designed to do the kind of job you are contemplating. I suggest you go another route.

No, you can't the 2x4 is not wide enough for the track to rest on. I would use a table saw to rip a 2x4
