Abstract: The present invention provides a jig and a method for it use. The jig is interchangeable with a variety of power tools for reproducibly and accurately positioning a work piece on the power tool. A universal memory stick is slidably attached to a primary fence. A follower assembly is mounted to the primary fence for maintaining a predetermined relative position of the primary fence to the universal memory stick. The universal memory stick includes a universal stick template which enables the user to make, program, store and recall required stop positions used on the power tool to cut work pieces to required dimensions for a given project.
