Hi all
Some will remember my dado jig of a few months ago which recently reared it's ugly head when Aragorn was searching for it.
Well, I finally got around to the first of the mods I had in mind.
I found that the jig could slip round unless two clamps were used and clamped up very tightly. These sometimes got in the way.
So, I added a clamping board today and covered it in 80 grit paper. Works a treat.
I drilled through the outer boards that the router pushes up against when in use and fitted a couple of 6mm threaded inserts (epoxy to hold them)
I sized a 20mm thick piece of pine and cut a shoulder on each end with a tenon saw + cleaned it up with shoulder and rabbett planes. I glued 80 grit paper to the contact side to prevent slip in use.
A couple of countersunk 6mm screws does the clamping job + as they are countersunk, won't mark the bench during use
Here it is being used - a removable tool tray in the bench comes in handy :wink:
