I built this over the weekend and its probably the most usefull jig I could have made for my TS. I was using an incra miter gauge but switch angles on it and getting back to 90 deg cuts is a pain. I like how they spaced the runners and their technique for getting the fence square. I left off the plexiglass top tho so I can incorporate a tenon jig.
For squaring I tried to get to at least .001 accuracy using the 5 cut method but gave up and will live with +- .007ish. :eusa_danc It was dang near impossible tuning it to that point, I'd get a piece of dust or splinter at some point in the 5 cuts that would throw it off so I gave up.
