I might be having a duh moment, but Im stuck with this slight problem.
I have one rolling/mobile work table, and one permanent table attached to wall also. Underneath the permanent table is a metal parts cabinet, that cannot be moved and it will be placed flush with front edge of table so access into drawers is easy enough.
I need to roll the mobile table next to the permanent one and secure it so it wont move so I can use t-track with the mitre and get equal cuts without the table moving 1/8 or a 1/16th.
I cant clamp them together because the cabinet is flush to front, no where to clamp.
I cant pass a bolt through because cabinet is in the way and I dont want to have to take out a drawer and start drilling through the cabinet wall to pass a bolt. I want something I can attach and secure steady enough without too much trouble and quick enough that it isnt a time waster. I dont want to spend 15 minutes every time I move the table and need to do one or two mitre cuts of equal length.
I thought about putting the t track on right side, but I work left side and cant use mitre comfortably measuring wood from right side.
Any ideas?
Heres a rough drawing of what I mean, the legs are 3 inches thick, tables are different heights, not making much difference with my problem.
I also thought about having upper table overlapping bottom mobile table and passing something like a bench dog through to secure, but lathe will be on mobile table right up to the end, I need every inch with this for design reasons.
