The Polygon Jig | Cut any shape on the table saw (plans available)
A couple years ago I built a hexagon cutting jig. It's adjustable and can cut out hexagons any size. I have plans available for this jig but I get a lot of requests for either a pentagon jig or an octagon jig. So today, instead of building a dedicated jig for each shape, I'm building a polygon cutting jig. With this geometric jig, you can cut any shape you want! One jig that does it all. Cut a pentagon, hexagon, octagon or even a heptagon. Get the plans below!
