Tools and Hardware Reviews of Big Horn 19066B Taper Jig
Customer Review: Another gift gone bad....
Summary: 1 Stars
For birthdays and other holidays my Sweetheart, kids and grandkids usually buy me woodworking tools. Even though I usually provide them with a list, occasionally things go bad.
This jig is one of them. One of the legs was bent out of the box, took some creative straitening methods to get it to work at all. Finally got it assembled and working, sort of. This thing is too flimsy to be of any serious use. Doesn't have enough mass to use it on large leg sections. I'm afraid the push tab will bend. Adjusting it by eye is not a big deal, but the flimsy lock mechnism does not instill confidence in a repeatable cut. The whole thing flex's when you push the piece thru the saw. After wasting a couple hours and a few pieces of scrap wood, I decided this jig should go back. Unfortutely it was purchased at HD, who wouldn't take it back, since it had been assembled and used. So on my way out the store, I tossed it in their dumpster. I'm going to make my own out of some hardwood and brass fittings. I know I can make something a lot more useful than this. Can't recommend this jig, except as a model of what not to do.
Customer Review: Very Poor Design/Quality

I have owned this jig for a while and wish I had spent the money on making my own jig from the get-go. It is very inaccurate and hard to adjust. Make your own.Customer Review: I had owned this product

I found this jig to be [poor quality], flimsy and inaccurate. It is hard to set up and flexes easily making accurate tapers impossible. Take my advise and spend a little more money for a good one or build one yourself. I threw it away.Customer Review: Making taper cuts the easy way

A must accessory for any table sawCustomer Review: Useful jig.

The darn thing does what is should do for a very good price. Sure you could make one, but I find little joy in making jigs. I would rather spend my time building more fun items. This jig will let you do just that.
