I take advantage of a noticed hook to sort out sawing on the benchtop. It has a cleat and a fence with slots for the noticed at 45° and 90° angles. Up to now I’ve merely sawn via the fence to create the slots, but it surely’s troublesome to make a plumb reduce on the actual angle. To make it simpler, begin by working a shallow dado for the fence. Then precut the fence into blocks on the chopsaw and reassemble them as you glue them into the dado. Use a card scraper to area the blocks. The ensuing slot is barely wider than the sawkerf, which prevents the noticed from binding throughout a reduce.
Lower the fence aside on the chopsaw and glue the elements into the dado within the base. Pekovich makes use of a card scraper to area the elements and create a slot for the noticed.

For small, skinny inventory, I exchange the larger noticed hook with a easy rabbeted block that will get clamped in my vise. I take advantage of a Japanese pull noticed for trim work, so I orient the block with the fence towards me (reverse that for a Western noticed). To make the kerfs, I take advantage of the noticed itself together with a sq. for alignment.
