Board-Straightening Fixture
Oct 25, 2005
This is a great board-straightening fixture. Simply press one end of the crooked board into the nail at the head of the fixture, allowing the board to overhang the plywood base by 1/2 in. or so. Hold the board on the sandpaper strips so it won’t move, and slide the whole arrangement through the tablesaw with the wood runner in the miter gauge slot. You can straighten a dozen boards in five minutes.
