Making My CNC Table Alignment Jig
More down here ↓↓↓ Click SHOW MORE!
I get a lot of questions about how I align a piece of material on my CNC table to make sure it’s square to the table.
In this video, I’ll show you how I made a simple jig that clamps to the t-track on my CNC table, and guarantees the material I mount stays aligned to the table, and most importantly, aligned with the CNC router’s X axis travel.
There are no plans or drawings for this jig as none are required. It can be made of scrap plywood, MDF, or any other material you have on hand. Size the jig to fit your needs, drill the holes for the 1/4” 20 bolts based on the spacing of your t-track, and you’re all set.
I used no glue, but you certainly could if you wish.
The inspiration for this jig was Peter Passuello’s Parallel Rule build, which can be found on his YouTube channel, CNCnutz (Peter Passuello) right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgHdgIt7erU
