    Shop made jigs and tools

    Hi, I made a poor man's domino/mortising jig. It uses 4 pcs 10x150mm rod and 8 linear bearing. All the bearing holder etc is 3d printer. Beside the router, total cost is 30 ish euros. Works a treat, and you can swap out the router for any (small ish) router you have on hand. This is just a...

    Jeez. Sharing well thought out creations and problem solution was apparently too much. The negativity is too much. How about promoting ones own solution instead of ******** on someone else's.

    Collection of 3d printing files relevant for woodworking

    Hi, Just printed edge sanding attachment to my RO150 sander. Design can be slightly improved upon, but works well right out of the box/printer. RO150 edge sanding attachment

    No revolution or new by any means, but a useful jig and a cheap alternative to Festools original. 4 identical pieces. Made from laminated 10mm high density ply with melamine on one side, so that the melamine is showing on both sides. Regular 19mm T-track screwed to the side. 8mm bolts with...

    Meddings S68 motor

    I also have a Strands machine, and have fiddled about with it to make it work with single phase. The previous owner disassembled everything and broke the main forward/backward switch. Because mine was a dual speed motor (dahlander motor) he fried some windings and so for full speed it just hums...

    Did a take on Marius Hornbergers circle cutting jig for cutting circles on the router table with a flush trim bit. 3D printer slide thingy in the middle. Spoiler alert: no Micro-adjust.

    Shop made jigs and tools

    For me woodworking is a hobby, something I do just for the fun of it. By trade I'm an engineer, so a smidge of that thinking, tinkering and problemsolving transfer onto my hobby. Wether or not anybody find my creations useful is up to them, but I like it. Have you made something in your shop...

    For the record - this is supposed to be a thread for sharing your jigs and diy tools. I would love to see something you have made or found useful. Your critisism of others work was not what I was going for. Kind regards

    For the fence; there is no overall measurement to get a rough estimate from, and also repeatability. Example: If you want to make dados in the middle of a board, install the bit and zero it with reference to the fence, then set your distance and make your cut. Widen the groove with a given...

    I also made a material stock guide. I can post an actual photo later, but this is a 3d model of the setup. Just like its Jessem counterpart it mounts on the top of the fence. For more details and BOM see the post on grabcad. https://grabcad.com/library/stock-guide-for-router-og-table-saw-1

    I'll kick things off with a diy fence I made for the router table. Heavily inspired by incra LS, but instead of positive increments I first built it with a micrometer for fine tuning, then later replaced it for a DRO for the entire length of travel. See the original thread for more details...

    Shop made jigs and tools

    Hi, I was trying to find a collection thread of diy jigs and tools to maybe post some of my own, but couldnt find one. Please share your diy jig for the table saw, router, band saw etc, or if it's a standalone tool/jig like a dowel or pocket hole jig.

    Incra LS positioner or DRO for joinery

    DRO arrived and has been fitted to the fence. As one can see in the video there is not too much hassle to dial it in for a cut. I'm thinking that a couple of hundredths give or take is within toleranse. I have not tested the accuracy of the DRO itself, but given that is is fairly accurate I...

    Incra LS positioner or DRO for joinery

    My thoughts exactly. That's why I think relative accuracy is key. The pins need to be accurate to the tails in the moment you cut them, but as you say - wood moves. Hopefully that alleviates the call for machinist grade accuracy and repeat ability.

    Incra LS positioner or DRO for joinery

    I appreciate the responses, and there is a fair chance I will cave in the end, especially if this is too flawed in terms of repeatability or accuracy, and get an Incra, but in the meantime I'll have my pigheaded fun and give it a go. Updates will be comming, but not for a little while. Just...

    Incra LS positioner or DRO for joinery

    Well Well reasoned aruments! The thought is wixey-ish, yes. It is yet to be mounted, so it would be hard to see. I realise the limitations of such equipment, but hoping it is dwarfed by the accuracy required for woodworking. The incra is presice to 0.1mm, so in my mind a DRO with ten times...

    Incra LS positioner or DRO for joinery

    I can write ut a complete BOM, but essentially is; - V-track 20-series aluminum extrusions (4040 and 2080) - biggest standard gantry platess -standard delrin wheel assembly - timing belt and pulley - some 3D-printed parts. The 3D-printed parts can easily be made from plywood or hardwood, it is...
