The Weaver Crown Jig is a professional-grade fixture designed for safe, high-precision arched door manufacturing. Engineered for shapers, this heavy-duty manual jig secures your workpiece, ensuring perfect symmetry and repeatable results. Eliminate layout errors and achieve quality joinery in any manual woodworking shop.
The jig utilizes integrated, heavy-duty toggle clamps to lock the rail or panel firmly in place. This prevents "chatter" or shifting during the cut, which is essential for maintaining a smooth, professional-grade finish on arched profiles.
Yes. The Crown Jig is designed to work with any shaper featuring a flat table surface. It is guided by a collar, allowing the operator to follow the pattern radius safely and accurately.
No, you'll have to get both the rail jig and panel jig.
Our jig features dedicated hand-hold positions and a robust base that keeps the operator's hands well away from the cutter head. The mechanical clamping system also eliminates the risk of workpiece kickback common with loose-fed templates.
1. Pre-cut panel material to desired size before shaping the crown panel.
2. Use jig #JM310 to center panel to pattern, then trace pattern detail on panel. Place crown panel pattern in notch on bottom and crown panel material on the top. After tracing remove panel from jig and band saw panel approximately 1/4” larger than pattern detail.
3. Set up shaper with dead collar or ball bearing rub collar, square edge cutter, warning disc and a Dust Shield.
4. Place the appropriate panel pattern in jig #JM310 - and the panel on top. The panel is centered by pulling the left or right handle in while holding the top edge of the panel and pattern flush. Push down both left and right cam levers or toggle clamps to clamp panel to pattern and jig.
5. Start on the left front of the pattern, rub pattern against rub collar to stop the bearing before shaping. The square edge cutter shapes the panel to pattern.
1. Tenoning the ends of the top crown rail before shaping the crown rail will reduce end grain chip-out.
2. Use jig #JM330 to center rail to pattern, then trace pattern shape on rail. Place crown rail material on the bottom and crown rail pattern in notch on top. After tracing remove rail from jig and band saw rail approximately 1/8 ” larger than pattern detail.
3. Set shaper up with sticking part of the door cutter set, ball bearing rub collar, warning disc and a Dust Shield.
4. Place top rail in jig #JM330 and the appropriate rail pattern in jig. By turning center knob, jig will self center top rail to the pattern. Tighten center lock nut and toggle clamps.
5. Use the left front corner of the pattern to stop the bearing before shaping. The cutters will size top rail to pattern and detail the edge of the rail.
