Hi all,
I thought I'd share a useful shop project I just finished.
I'm a router table junky. I use a router table almost always over a hand held router. I find it gives me much more control and accuracy.
From time to time I'll use it to make stopped slots, rabbits, dados, beads, flutes, etc. often on parts longer than my router table.
I've always used what scraps I had laying around to cobble together stops, with clamps sticking out every which way.
I had some time so I thought I'd make something better.
This is made out of BB plywood. Two pcs. with a slot ( made with my cobbled together stops) and two pcs. with a t-track.
It's infinitely variable from 5 FT on either side down to nothing, and is easy to use. as an added bonus It also works as an extended stop on my TS cross cut sled.
Here's some pics.
This is what I used to do.
This is what I came up with
fully extended
with the two outboard wings reversed and the inboard wings retracted.
Thanks for looking
Jim
