Nice work man.

In engineering we use a term called FFP - Fit For Purpose.
This is an example of classic innovation and tool building that I love about wood and metal working. Great job my friend.

I appreciate the methods of hardboard, Festool, and the Dewalt, and this one too. Every woodworker has a particular way he enjoys doing his craft. For instance some purists when cutting mortise and tenon in timber framing use hand tools only, I on the other hand use them in conjunction with my Makita 7104L Chain Mortiser. Saves me lots of work, but I also appreciate the old ways to… I guess it’s all about showing respect for others choices... oh by the way, well done - Robin Koykka

this is brilliant, he has come up with an idea and uses it for what he does. Festool stuff is too expensive, i'd leave it for weekend lawyer woodworkers and tool collectors.
To the person who made this video, you are a genius, keep up the good work!

Thanks again for the video and for the further information. I hate to bother you, but did you find it difficult to align your drilled holes to the blade? I would think they had to be perfectly parallel. Great jig.

@aarondcoe I just used a pair of calipers, it will leave a nice scribe mark on the aluminum plate. I was able to get it within .002" or so of parallel.

Thanks for sharing this. I really like the design. Unlike some others, I think the track makes for less chance of wander than a fence-type system, especially when leaning over a wide panel. How are your results? Would you say comparable to a table saw? Also, which Makita is that? Most of the models I've seen have base plates without holes. Thanks again.

@aarondcoe It is the Makita 5007F it did not have holes on the plate, I picked the saw because it had a flat Aluminum base. I drilled the holes for the track I mounted on it. Yes I can cut comparable to a table saw, I would say it cuts better than a table when you are trying to cut down large sheet material by yourself. I really like it for straightening out rough cut lumber.
