Last Minute STUMPY NUBS Jig - Easy SKI

Scott this set-up is enough to make me go out and buy T track and make one for myself, I really like it, hope you win the jig contest.

I would be interested in a blog about your Table saw. The entire set up looks nice.

This is a very sweet set up and so simple, I believe I have enough of the t track to a temp one myself…thanks for posting

Looks good to me. Very nice setup,

WOW and sweet..
Only wish I had my own shop to keep it in.
a shared shop has many drawbacks One, is no place to keep nice jigs like this.

Is the router attached to a t-track(blue), riding inside another t-track (gold)? How is the plate attached to the blue t-track?

Thanks!

Milo – the router is attached to t-track (blue top rail t-track, I think originally bought from rockler), the plate is simply screwed into the top t-tracks, and then inserted into miter track. The t-track and the miter track fit together as if they were designed to. The hardest thing about this jig is using the right screw and washer size combinations so that everything holds together well but isn’t too big to get in the way of the sliding parts.

Oh and thanks to everyone for your comments on the jig and on the TS/RT combo, I’ve been working on the table for awhile now as I get time to do so. I’ll surely be posting my finished results when completed, should be 2-3 more weeks. But I will say that it’s a slider with a unique fence set up, made up mostly of baltic birch ply and laminate.

Thank you for the reply. Sure would love to see a video of it in action! Any chance for an addition close up shot of how the plate is attached to the t-track?

I’m asking because I am literally putting the parts together for a Router Sled, and I am trying to decide on the best design for what I want. I am extremely impressed with how easily your router glides across the router field. That has to make the overall job easier also.

Thanks Scott!

Milo – Ill take some more photos of it tomorrow, I plan on doing a little bit of work with it in the morning, so I’ll try to get some video of it as well. There’s only two screws attaching the blue t- track to the router base and they are 8/32 with nuts. Eventually though I plan on removing the router sub plate and attaching it to a square piece of acrylic and attaching that to the t-tracks; it just seems to me that it would be more stable this way if I were to ever hit a knot or piece of metal or something else unexpectedly. Just a heads up, it does glide very easily with no effort, but a little bit of paste wax went a long way.
