Michael Alm (ALM FAB) | How to Build a Spline Jig and Spline a Miter @MichaelAlm | Uploaded April 2021 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
This week I’m building a simple spline jig. Plans are available on my website almfab.com/plans
This jig can be built in less than an hour with plywood scraps and works on any table saw or router with a fence. Splines reenforce miter joints and they look good too. I use them in my shop on picture frames and decorative boxes.
Big thanks to long time supporter of my channel, Rockler!
