What if you drill horizontally through the forked end of the table and on through the skirts of the jointer table and use one pin (or bolt) all of the way across?
.
I do believe that would be a good idea. I have one problem and it is me. I harbor a real hangup that makes it very difficult for me to drill holes in the skirts of that cast table.
I had the same hangup when I drilled for bolts to secure the t-track to my floating tables.

Dusty,
Are you using the Shopsmith telescoping leg for support? What about using an adjustable roller stand instead?
Larry
This application needs some modifications. The support leg is not as stable as it needs to be. I also need to devise a clamp that would allow me to get rid of that spring clamp.[/QUOTE]

Yes, thus far I have been using the telescopic leg and a roller stand would definitely be more stable.
I am considering a hinged leg to replace the telescopic one. The nice thing is that the leg can be of fixed length. I use the jointer mounted on the Mark V and therefore the distance to the floor is constant.
My current concentration is on developing the physical interface between the jointer table and my version of an extension table. Once that is finalized, the leg will be a snap.

Until the idler shaft eccentric is adjusted for belt tension.
A four 'pronged' cane would be more stable!:rolleyes:
BTW Nick's extension offsets the added segment strain of the fence face addition.

How often do you think I'll be adjusting the eccentric enough that I will have to readjust the jointer. So far it has only been when I rebuild a headstock - once.

I have eliminated the spring clamps that were once used to attach my jointer table extension to the jointer table.
Due to a screw up on my part, the table is 6" shorter than it was in the beginning but it is now attached using a cantilever arrangement and no spring clamps.
I am still using the telescopic leg but the revised manner of attachment is many times more stable.

The point was it is not 'constant', and does need to be adjustable however seldom.

It seems to be "pretty constant". I have not changed it (the eccentric) since this thead was initiated.

That would coincide with 'seldom'. An indication of minimal belt wear/stretching.
