Can I make tapered legs (making bed posts for a bed for my little girl) using my table saw? If so can you share steps and or pictures, etc? Thanks

Yes, but you will need to make a tapering jig to push your work through. The best one I have used is from Norm Abram's and New Yankee workshop. May be able to google it and find the design.

Yes, you can make a jig or purchase one that will do the job. If you google "tapered table leg on table saw" you will get a video that shows how to do it. You can probably figure out how to make the jig after watching the video.

I'm sure there are other videos if you search enough that would show how to make the jig.

Good luck and welcome
