Homemade Lap Siding Jig

Wide and the other at 3 4 in.

Homemade lap siding jig.

With this unique jig cut lap siding up to 9 22 5cm wide with taper widths down to a feather edge. With the width the same on both sides of your board you can adjust the reveal between boards when you install the decorative shiplap siding. Cut two pieces of 1 2 inch thick plywood to 1 inch wide and 3 inches long. We finally finished the studs this week and moved on to something a bit more interesting.

To make a more traditional shiplap joint simply cut one rabbet at 1 2 in. Turn the jig. A super simple jig to mill tapered clapboard siding. Measure the width of the hardieplank.

Lay a 1 by 3 piece of 1 2 inch thick plywood along the 3 inch wide end of the longer piece with the two. The depth of the rabbets should be exactly half the thickness of your lumber. Make shiplap siding and cedar shake shingles quickly and easily. The width of your rabbets can be anywhere from 1 2 in.
