Exacto Knife Jig

I made a small jig to hold my exacto knife when cutting dollar tree foam board.
It works great for cutting control surface hinges.
I made 2 of them, 1 for straight cutting & 1 for bevel cutting.
One is made from plastic (UHMW) & the other is made from wood.



Doesn't make any difference what you make them out of.
The one made from wood was cut on a combination cut off saw to get the 2 different angles.

that is a really good video and should help a lot of people out. It's also great for those that can't quite grip the small knife in their hands. I love seeing videos like this, keep them up.

Should start making these jigs and selling them! :) GREAT tool for people who have hands like mine.. precision straight line cuts and esp those control surface cuts were the worst when I was builiding foamies.. :p Never was very successful personally.. :D :D

Thanks Gaba. I'll have to see if I can simplify making the angle cutter. The straight one is pretty simple for anyone to make.
