I need to move the lower arm on the carriage advance, and need to install an adjustable stop for it.
I really need to get a bearing for the follower, and I am sure I will see more things .

Every so often I get a bug and make an attempt at some flat work.

Darth Earl, you must not stray from the dark side. The force is strong in you. Resist the flat stuff. Flat stock is for the Jedis.

A flatside force tool? Not as you think, could it be. On this tool, meditate, I will.

Cut some pins to show it cutting

Matthias Wandel of woodgears made one and I just tried to copy it

I remember seeing that tool a couple of years ago (video). Forgot about it; so how is it working?
Does it do precision work?
Is it worth the effort?
Thanks, Joe

It makes a perfect 50% copy of the pattern.
I think it worth it, I made that pattern on the table saw, set the fence with a digital angle finder, then cut spacers with a stop block and used the spacers to cut the pattern. then used the same spacers to cut the guide for the dove tail bit, after i found the correct height for the pattern they fit perfect.
