Cutting Ebony nut blanks

Making jigs for cutting pearl with a diamond blade...
saw is enclosed in a box with a plexiglass top, Shop Vac hose attaches to the back...
Saw is in box backwards to throw the dust towards the vaccum port, so all the work is pulled
towards me. Strange, but otherwise the dust comes out the opening in the front of the
box! Not good!

Cutting the angle... I use the big jig to cut the strips, then simply place a strip on the angle jig
& slide it in the miter slot to cut the first angle.
|
Cutting the diamond... Jig holds the pearl with a piece of cork glued to the bottom of the
piece of top wood. Makes a perfect cut, every time! Since it's a diamond blade, the cut is very clean, and
no sanding is needed. A great timesaver for a minimal investment in money and time!
