Subject is just to drag the reader in and trap them in yet another boring question about customer MFT tops and trying to formulate a straightforward method of having a T track with an adjustable stop in it to be used with some QWAS rail dogs for repetitive cuts.
Now I know this can all be done with shims (I've read and used the excellent solution from tjbnwi), but there's a finite amount of room in the world to store the shims and making the shims accurately in the first place has been taxing my tiny brain so what I wants to know is will my plan work?
Route an Incra T track flush into my custom MFT table top at 90 degrees to the guide rail. Set back so I don't cut through it. Then mount a flag stop of some kind, or a better solution perhaps (my brain is fried from all the MFT top threads I've been trawling through) to butt the work up to.
The guide rail would then be fixed in place with the QWAS dogs (or some Parf dogs or whatever).
Most people already have this exact thing in place from the stop on the MFT rail itself, but some of us don't have that and I can't seem to get to the bottom of the custom solution. There are so many ideas on here it's hard to figure out which one worked in the real world.
I think the limitation of this would be that I would still need a shim for cutting thinner pieces, but that's fine at the flag would be adjustable anyway...right?
Thanks in advance.
