Katz-Moses released a video talking about a new upcoming jig rail they are making. The rails are an interesting design, so I was interested to find out if it would fit the Shopsmith since the miter gauge is 23/32" instead of the more common 3/4". I asked about about it in the comments and the Katz-Moses team replied that it would fit the Shopsmith miter gauge tracks. If this is true, when released, it will be an option for making jigs.

Re: Katz-Moses Jig rail
I have some of them. As others on here have commented, some of them do not fit the SS miter slot.chiroindixon wrote: ↑Sun Feb 09, 2025 2:41 pm You could look at

Re: Katz-Moses Jig rail
Brenda,
Admittedly some didn't quite fit. Too tight. Fit snugly but wouldn't slide.
I addressed this issue with their rep. Because SS slots are smaller, a slight touch with a sander to the top guide bar
should solve the problem.
Bottom line... it did.

Re: Katz-Moses Jig rail
I am not saying that sandpaper is not an option when the microjig miter bar does not slide correctly. The Katz-Moses jig rail is just a different option for those interested. My post was just to let people know about it and that it would be an option for use on a Shopsmith.chiroindixon wrote: ↑Sun Feb 09, 2025 5:46 pm Brenda,
