Swingman's table saw taper jig

I am interested in building the taper jig shown on the

formatting link
page. The text says that the idea came from FWW 2005 "Power Tools" issue. I am a subscriber to FWW and I can not find such an issue. There are annual "Tools and Shops" issues but I can not find the tapering jig in any of them.



I have the feeling that I have seen the original article and I never throw magazines out, but they do sometimes hide from me. Perhaps I saw it in magazine which I don't subscribe to.



I would appreciate any help in identifying the magazine issue in which this article appeared more exactly.



Cheers,



Larry

Thanks, but that is a different taper jig. I am looking for one with the eccentric circular disk that gives very precise control of the taper angle as on the e-woodwork web page.

Still looking.

I'm sure I have the magazine somewhere and will try to dig it out. ITMT, I will be glad to take some more pictures of it, from different angles, if you think it would help.

Let me know ... the e-mail below works.

2005.

No date, but it says on the cover "display until September 30, 2005.

Notice that it says "Newsstand-only Publication." In other words, it is not part of the normal magazine subscription. FWW puts out a number of these that cover specific topics.

The special publications put out by FWW are just reprinted collections of magazine atricles.

Check out: Fine Woodworking Magazine, June 2002 No. 156 "Adjustable Jig for Cutting Tapers" by David Hastings

Enjoy,

Thanks for that. Now I have it. I hadn't gone back that far in my collection.

Also Swingman generously sent me a scanned copy.

I'm happy now. Thanks to all.
