I have the older model Mortise Pal, and am getting ready to modify it to make it straddle wider work pieces. This requires 2 pieces of 3/8" rod about 5" or so long for the side peices. I know some of you guys have done this, what did you do about the thumb screw...just leave it as is? I guess if you found a longer thumb screw you also changed out the 1/4" rods on the moveable fence? I have rod stock for both the sides and fence, but haven't looked into the thumb screw part.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.
