Trigonometric universal centering jig assembly

A trigonometric universal centering jig for use on a power cutting tool having a work table, the trigonometric universal centering jig comprising:

• a first component including:
• a first plate having an upper surface and an underside, the first plate having a first edge and a second edge at an angle to the first edge;
• a guide fence extending along the first edge of the first plate;
• a movable curb extending from the plate, the movable curb extending from the second edge of the first plate;
• a second component including:
• a second plate having an upper surface and an underside, the second plate having an angled first edge disposed in abutted contact with the angled second edge of the first plate;
• a sliding connector connected between the first plate and the second plate to maintain the angled first edge of the second plate in abutted contact with the angled second edge of the first plate, the sliding connector permitting sliding movement of the first plate relative to the second plate along the abutted angled edges of the first and second plates;
• a clamp mounted to selectively secure the first and second plates in position relative to one another, the clamp being operable between a clamped state that prevents sliding movement of the first and second plates along the abutted angled edges and an unclamped state that permits sliding movement of the first and second plates along the abutted angled edges;
• first and second translation fingers mounted at the second plate, the first and second translation fingers being selectively positionable on the second plate and being selectively fastable in position;
• a translation rail extending from the underside of at least one of the first and second components;
• and
• wherein the movable curb of the first component extends onto the second plate for selective contact with at least one of the first and second translation fingers.
