I feel like an archeologist when I'm digging out woodworking stuff from storage; there's layers.
Found my new DT jig. If this is the result from my very first try I will have to call this one a keeper.
I figured I needed a safe place for this thing and had a sheet of C/D plywood sheeting leftover.
The case clamps to the work surface and the jig attaches via machine screws and t-nuts using fasteners that take the same screwdriver as everything else on the jig.
The jig slides under cleats that keep it secure whilst moving it about.
I added a second set of cleats to hold a simple tray (speed was the consideration here not sophistication
). The tray has a block that holds bits and the 8mm collet reducers when not in use. There's also a magnet for the screwdriver and room for the bridge-piece material and manual.
It fits in like so.
And the lid fastens on with a spare pair of draw catches I had leftover from the adjustable table effort.
I need to practice more to where I feel comfortable with the process. I bought some additional bits from another forum member several months ago in anticipation . . . can't find 'em
. I figure that like the jig, they'll turn up while digging through one layer or or another.
