A miter gauge includes a miter housing and a miter bar. The miter bar includes a first portion to which the miter housing is attached and that has a fixed first width and a second portion having a width adjustment system configured to adjust a second width of the second portion. The second portion includes a first prong and a second prong separated longitudinally from one another by a longitudinal slot.

Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and apparatus for squaring a fence or other surface in a woodworking jig relative to the saw blade of the table saw used with the jig, by providing an adjustable tool that may be engaged with a kerf created by the blade of the table saw. Embodiments of the invention may be used to create a crosscut sled without using the five-cut method. In different embodiments, the invention may be used not only to square to the saw blade, but also to set other angles relative to the saw blade in the event that different positioning is desired.

A woodworking pushblock (100), having: a body (102); a handle (104) disposed atop the body, and at least one pad (106) secured to an underside (108) of the body. The pad comprises a first end (132A), a second end (132B), a central region (134) disposed therebetween, and at least one compressible heel (130A, 130B) including a heel bottom surface (130BS). In an uncompressed state the at least one heel protrudes downward past the central region. The at least one compressible heel is configured such that any portion of the at least one compressible heel that is subjected to a sufficient upward force applied to the heel bottom surface yields upward until flush with the central region.

A table saw jig for guiding offcut sides of various types of workpiece. The table saw jig includes a base that operably engages with a table of a table saw. The table saw jig also includes a slider that is moveably engaged inside of the base and is adapted to guide an offcut side of at least one workpiece along the table of the table saw. The table saw jig also includes at least one attachment assembly that operably engages with the base and is adapted to engage the base with the table of the table saw. The table saw jig also includes at least one calibration assembly that operably engages with the slider and the base. The at least one calibration assembly is configured to calibrate the slider relative to a blade of the table saw when the base is operably engaged with the table of the table saw.

A workpiece guiding device having a base, a supporting component and a limiting component, wherein the base is formed with a loading surface to load the workpiece. The loading surface is formed with a first long slot facing downward. A supporting component is movably configured on the loading surface. The bottom of the supporting component is formed with a second long slot facing upward. The first and second long slots are opposite each other in the vertical direction, forming a long first space. The limiting component is removably configured in the first space. The radial periphery of the limiting component enters the long slots. One side of the supporting component is defined as a supporting side, which is used to receive the lateral pressing by the workpiece. The workpiece guiding device enhances the convenience in adjusting the position of the supporting component at a regularly used tooling angle.
