Stronger Picture Frames! Simple miter joints are useful in many projects, but the miter joint itself is simple not that strong. Adding spline to these joints will make them much stronger and it is also very easy. There is no need to purchase a spline jig. We can simple grab some scrap wood from other projects and put one together in less than 45 minutes. In our case, we are making a picture frame project that was very unique and we used the splines in the miter joints for extra strength, but also for looks.

Our jig was built around our table saw, using the fence system as the guide for the spline jig. The fence is set for the location of the spline and our jig will slide your corner along the blade creating a slot for your spline to slide into. Once your slot is cut, you can slide in a piece of wood that is the same width with some glue. Let the glue dry completely and cut the excess spline off and sand to perfection. The spline is very decorative, but it also makes that miter joint much stronger.

Why We Like This Jig:

There are many types of spline jigs out there and they all do the same thing. Many of them even look similar, but our jig uses both sides of the fence of the table saw to slide. Because we use both sides of the fence, with our system, you do not have to concentrate on keeping the jig next to the fence. You can concentrate on placement of your work piece in the jig and slide it over the blade. We feel that your work-piece is more important at this stage and wanted to create a jig that gave the use more of a simple, easy to use system.
