Miter gauge extension with stop block

Good job Tom. Looks like it will work to me.

Thanks Gary.

Hey, did you notice that Freud, thin kerf combination blade? Just got that, and I love it! It’s the best blade I’ve ever owned. Thanks for the recommendation on that.

good work tom

Looks like that will work really well Tom. I like the storage idea for the block to get it out of the way and not miss place it….

Thanks mrtrim and Max!

Yes, storing the block in the back saves a lot of looking ;^D

I like it Tom. It looks very robust & accurate.

Tom – You finally broke down and got a blade, huh? Good choice.

I’m glad you’re happy with it.

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

Thanks Grumpy. It really is a big improvement over using just a mitre gauge.

Gary, I even sprung for the Freud Glue Line blade! I haven’t used that yet, but I know I’m going to love it. I wasn’t prepared to go all the way with the Woodworker II blade (at over $100), but I took the plunge and moved up to the Freud blades. These things are like cutting butter with a hot knife compared to what I had been using (which I thought were pretty decent blades).

Guess I’ll have to do a “Review” on the Freud blades pretty soon… ;^D

Hey Tom. How’s life in Surfside? Heading that way next weekend. Nice upgrade. I was wondering what function picture 3 served. Couldn’t guess it until I read your comments. Nice idea. Out of the way, but at hand.

-- Jeff, South Carolina

So what happened to the pic of Tom Cruise? Did ya think we didn’t notice? I’ll bet his wife wants him to build new kitchen cabinets now, thanx to you! So he’s probably run out and bought the best tablesaw there ever was, (cuz he’s got bucks) and now he’s gonna lose those pretty fingers, and his next movie will be called “Stumpy” or something like that.

OK, enough rambling. Nice miter extension Tom! The sandpaper is also a good idea.

*I’ll bet the Mormons have taken you off their Christmas list!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Great idea for the parking spot for the stop block on the back. Thinking “outside the box” pays off.

Jeff,

Good to hear from you! Glad I didn’t disappoint you with that last picture.

Life in Surfside is good. Next weekend, the wife and I are going to be in Charleston. We got one of those time share freebees that we’re taking advantage of. Sorry I’m going to miss you again, but let me know when you come again. We’ll go to Workshop Tools and have some fun!

Have a great time while your here ;^D

Dadoo,

So you liked my Tom Cruise pic huh? I just stuck that up for a while, because Mot had a discussion going about people on the Internet, and how you could be somebody that you really are not. Was just having a little fun. I don’t think Tom Cruise is going to get into woodworking any time soon.

Thanks for the kind comments!

Hi rikkor,

I wish I could take the credit for “thinking outside the box” on this, but I got the plan for this from one of my magazines. The only “improvement” to the design was the non-slip sandpaper. But, thanks for the gracious comment!

-- Tom, Surfside Beach, SC - Romans 8:28

Hi Tom;

Now you tell me!

after I went and bought one of those fancy ones, with the pretty colors! LOL

Nice job Tom

Hey Lee,

If I was a professional woodworker of your status, I’d have a fancy colorful one too! ;^D

Thanks!

-- Tom, Surfside Beach, SC - Romans 8:28

Nice work Tom!

-- Chris

Thank you, Chris ;^D

I got one of those Incra miter gauges but its the least expensive one that doesn’t have a fence. I need to make one of these. Thanks for the tip on that router bit.

Great addition Tom.

You’re welcome Blake! I’ve enjoyed some of your tips as well.

Thanks Karson!

Great idea made better w/ a way to keep it when not in use!

Thanks Tom. I thought I would share this with y’all, since it’s been helpful to me, and though simple in design, it’s very functional.

-- Tom, Surfside Beach, SC - Romans 8:28

Good idea.

-- Jiri

Jiri,

Good to hear from you all the way from the Czech Republic in Europe. It’s great that our woodworking hobby can bring us into contact with people all over the world!

-- Tom, Surfside Beach, SC - Romans 8:28

Tom,

Thanks for this info. Can’t wait to implement it. Cool to see a brother “up the road” from me in Surfside made the post too.

Peace. ;o)

Tim,

It’s my pleasure to share with others something of what I’ve gathered over the years.

We come to Charleston often just to walk and dine in some of the nice restaurants. I also like to go the the Woodcraft store there. It is the closest one to me.

God bless you, my friend.

Hello Tom , I’m wondering if that bit cuts the entire T or do you need to use a straight bit first to cut the main groove ?

I guess I should have followed your Woodhaven link first as they tell us to cut a 1/4” groove , just like I thought : ) Thanks anyway , and thanks for sharing this very helpful idea !

Dusty,

Thanks for the comment. Glad you found what you needed to know!
