Re: Jigs and Fixtures

For a sacrificial miter gauge fence, I once laminated two pieces of 12 mm BB plywood, and vertically offset the fixturing slots on each side. An alternative, If you don't have the vertical space to offset them sufficiently, is to just laminate up a thicker piece. Thanks for the info. How much separ...

Re: Jigs and Fixtures

Those spacers are a neat idea, Larry -- I'm going to remember that one. I can't tell from the pix, but are you using WoodAnchor sliding nuts along with those clamp knobs to mount the fence to the aluminum angle? Be gentle with them if so -- the brass threaded inserts aren't designed to be pulled fr...

Re: Dragged out a shopsmith

That extra wooden device is interesting though. I assume that was intended to improve table stability, and I would assume you've made sure that wasn't a factor in the alignment either. Here is more information on the table brace. https://www.instructables.com/Shopsmith-Hack-2-a-More-Stable-Table/

Re: Jigs and Fixtures

A couple more fixes for my crosscut sled. I made some plywood spacers to use with my stop collars so I can easily adjust my main and auxiliary tables for depth of cut for 1/2”, 3/4” or 1-1/2” stock. In this picture I’m set up for 1/2”. The piece of foam is to cover the blade while not in use IMG_101...

Re: Jigs and Fixtures

That slot on the rear of the shaper fence has me scratching my head also unless it is merely being stored there until used ala not split fence.(????) Attachment slot for mounting to any of my fences. BTW crucial here is the addition of a second main table and carriage. Yep, leftover from one of my ...

Re: Jigs and Fixtures

I've been intending to make a 520 fence facing with extended infeed and outfeed supports, much like yours. But I had planned on fastening the supports permanently to the facing. What do you see as the advantage of making the supports removeable? Mostly because I can adjust them to be used with any ...
