Tak Piece Cutting Jig

This jig is made to cut a 1" square and/or 1-1/8" round dowel with a standard miter back saw. There is an end stop for a 10mm slice (~3/8" after sanding), and a spot to place the discs to cut a flat. The end stop is intentionally short so the pieces can fall free and the stock moved up without having to put the saw down. The second holder is to support the length at a greater distance. There are screw holes for #6 or #8 drywall screws. that can be used to screw it down to a 1x2 or other support.

I have a portable work bench with clamping sections. I made the bottom plates to work with M3 bolts to clamp down on a slot of my workbench which secures it entirely satisfactorily. #6 bolts would likely work just as well. The holes may need to be expanded a bit, but should be tappable. (actually ended up tapping for 8-32)

I printed the jig and support with 3 walls and 15% infill, the clamp plates with 4 walls and 35% infill.
