kinda like this-but the triangle blocks should fully support the stock.

I would probably try to use a cross cut sled with a couple of 45 degree blocks in it to support the stock.

I've been looking at something like this for awhile Reible. Hadn't come to any conclusion yet. I see there is an ISO lite and an ISO Pro, but the only difference is see is the DB rating (26 vs 27) and the price. That last DB is an expensive one :) The thing that stops me is the bluetooth enabled par...

I would have tried to rotate the blue plastic piece by 90 degrees. It may introduce a little but of error in being perpendicular to the
blade, but it would be small I think.

I know there are conditions were the setup can leave 2 tools connected to the power head unit but I think its not a good idea in general from a safety point of view. The closest I came to doing this was accidently starting the bandsaw at table saw speeds (3450 vs 900) and destroyed a blade, the rubb...

With no limits on $$...you would use an optical profilometer like this.

Well- i like your idea of clamping some MDF to the table and then aligning to its surface.

I've never looked at mine that closely, though i do see table deflection when the drill comes into contact with the wood-more like radial deflection from the mount point on the way tubes. Is the deflected area that large ? I mean if your stock spans over the deflected area of the table, it may be a ...

Still doing these by family request and trying to improve my results with each iteration. This one I added the walnut inset corners for contrast. The particular piece of walnut had some really nice color variation in it. I narrowed the slots so the boards would stand at same angle and not flop aroun...

Alright-finally worked my way thru this little project. In the end I took Roberts advice and ran the base cuts on the table saw. This left little work to be done by sanding etc prior to glue up of the sticks. The holder-came from a block glue up of some walnut I had aorund, then cutting it out to en...
