Very nice, wher did you find “light” MDF?

I just got the latest FWW for August in and it has a home made MDF sliding table for tablesaw thing in there. Curious how that thing works.

Well it’s only 2”x3/4” so it is pretty light weight.

Nice money saver, but more importantly – perfect cuts every time (no tear-out) and versatile

Blake don’t loosen those toilet bolt it could get messy…nice work on the fence and I try to aviod MDF in my shop…thanks for posting I have the exact set up minus Toliet bolts…Blkcherry

Very nice setup. MDF is good for you. It builds up your tolerance to withstand nasty exotic woods. That my story and i’m sticking to it.

Looks great Blake.

Nice. I agree Blake, I always liked zero clearance fences. I have the same mite guage and I bolt bolt on scrap fences. Your replaceable toilet system looks like the cat’s meow.

I think that sliding tables should have support on both sides of the blade also. The one mentioned in FWW above only covers one side, but I guess that makes it easier to build/maintain.

Sweet. I’m using that V27 for my bandsaw but hadn’t really thought about it seriously for TS use – until now.

Good one Blake. Why pay a lot of money when you can make it yourself.

I have nearly the same setup but I use red oak and bolt them on. I have several that are already laid out for certain pieces that I build frequently. I can mount one crosscut fence and have all the measurements good to go. Another reason reason I won’t buy a miter saw for crosscuts.

Cheap and simple – 1…expensive and complicated – 0! The fact that its zero clearance and you can set it up any way you need to..good support on both sides, and ultimately disposable…great idea. Cheap and easy to make too. You could probably design some sort of flip/ stop that rides in the t slot and flips over the top for repeatable lengths, or now that I think about it there is probably something commercially made that would work.

try putting a slot in the front face. you can then add adjustable length stops. I also have constructed a right angle jig that I attach to mine and use to cut tenons. It works nearly as well as the expensive cast iron ones and attaches in seconds with two t bolts. I also have made a couple of jigs to cut wheel treads on toy wheels that connect to the fence with t bolts. there are endless ways to use this setup to make repeat cuts thru a wide range on angles and hold small pieces securely and keep those fingers away.

Very cool. I might try that. Toilet bowl bolts – good idea. Why didn’t I think of it.
