A one handed luthier?

Dust,

Look at the pic of the home made fence.
I just pull the JT tables and fence away and clamp on the home made fence and tilt the table.

Ed, Removing/reinstalling the JT tables, fence and adjustment hardware isn't a difficult job. Just time consuming. It's a royal PITA when a project requires the use of the router table, dado cuts and/or bevels, as well as the TS. Such is the case with the present job. Don't think I mentioned earlier...

Ed,

118 is the JT fence
119 is the back of the home made fence
120 is the home made fence with dado aux fence

BUMMER!

Thanks again, Ed. Stay tuned, pictures at...... 3:00 MST Approx. Your first suggestion (t-nut slot) was my first thought. But, still have to go through all the machinations described re: re-setting the tables' height for the dado blade. :( If only my MS would do long bevels. Knew I shouldn't have so...

Thanks for the advice, Ed. My issue with the Jointech is twofold. One is that the table doesn't tilt with the SS table. I have a MK V. The extension table alone isn't wide enough to hold the fence bridge. Consequently, I must disconnect the Sawtrain table, raise the table on the SS, move the headsto...

With the Jointech sawtrain and router table installed, beveling is problematic, at least for me. I purchased an extra finger bridge w/out the fingers, and converted it to a fence for beveling and dadoing. Insuring it's square to the blade is time consuming, however. I'm considering purchasing a few ...

Thanks Richard. Excellent post. The attachments are very helpful. The MS jig is slick.

Of all woodworkers, I think boat builders rank right at the top. I had the opportunity to watch some of the building of a gondola. The wood work was phenomenal. Like watching a ballet.

Just too let everyone know, I ordered a part from SS last wed. and got it in today's mail. That's exceptionally fast, I think.

No problems here in AZ Leonard.
