No longer free - plans are $7.95 - that's a nice jig, does it have preset 90 / 45 / 30 degree stops?

I'd like to, but I'm told that I need to start building some stuff before buying any more tools....

Lightbulb

Is there any reason not to epoxy the tracks in place rather than all those t-nuts and screws? Seems like it would save a whole lot of trouble.

Sounds like a pretty good idea to me provided the epoxy makes a good bond between wood and aluminum. I don't know - never tried that one before.

That's what I did first! But the hold downs lifted the track because the layer I epoxied to flexed and the sides wouldn't hold tight enough. I think that if I had some MDO it would have been fine.

Her's mine using the protractor. I could scribe some lines here, but I don't want to be restricted to where I have to set the fence.

Not secured. Also use it for the miter saw, etc.
