Patent number: 11820039Abstract: A taper jig that provides a woodworker with multifunctional use for orientating and maintaining a workpiece in order to make a tapered cut in a workpiece at desired incremental angles. The taper jig includes a first track and a second track that operably engages the first track wherein the second track is pivotably moveable relative to the first track. The taper jig also includes at least one measurement scale assembly that operably secures the first track and the second track to one another at a predetermined angle. The taper jig also includes at least one clamping handle assembly that operably engages one of the first track and the second track, wherein the at least one clamping handle assembly being adapted to clamp a workpiece. The taper jig may also include a first sled and a second sled that operably engage with the first and second tracks.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2021Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: WOODPECKERS, LLCInventor: Nathan William Duxbury

Publication number: 20230294181Abstract: A machining jig used for adjusting and aligning a workpiece with a drill bit of a drill press in order to make at least one hole at at least one desired compound angle in a workpiece. The machining jig includes a base table adapted to be operably engaged with a drill press table. The machining jig also includes a work table operably engaged with the base table, wherein the work table is pivotably moveable relative to the base table. The machining jig also includes an adjustment assembly operably engaged with the work table and the base table. The adjustment assembly is configured to pivotably adjust the work table to an angle relative to the base table, wherein the angle is selected from a range of predetermined angles. The adjustment assembly also secures the work table to the base table at the selected angle.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2022Publication date: September 21, 2023Applicant: WOODPECKERS, LLCInventors: Nathan William DUXBURY, Paul E. TURLEY

Publication number: 20230073793Abstract: A fence stop system for a table saw includes a fence stop that has a stop surface that is moveable between first and second positions. In the first position, the stop surface is disengaged from a portion of a table saw fence. In the second position, the stop surface engages the portion of the table saw fence. The fence stop includes a micro adjustment mechanism to “dial in” an exact measurement for a rip or cut. The fence stop system may additionally include a second fence stop that can be coupled to the first fence stop to create a mated pair. When the stop surfaces are in their second positions (i.e., stopping position), part of the table saw fence is disposed between the respective stop surfaces that allow the fence to translate between the stop surfaces to effectuate a dado cut in the wood.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2021Publication date: March 9, 2023Applicant: Woodpeckers, LLCInventor: Nathan William Duxbury
