Finger Joint jig recommendations for CSC SYS 50 Table Saw?

[Kwvogel]

I'm surprised that my searching on this topic has has not been more successful!

I've seen several home-brew solutions (none CSC SYS 50 specific) that look reasonable, each with their own apparent plusses and minuses in terms of simplicity and flexibility. Wondering if anyone else has gone through the process of figuring out what worked well for themselves on this specific saw and if the sliding table provides any advantages (or caveats) for one design vs another.

I've seen several designs that depend on a "pin" that is the width of the saw blade kerf, which is 1.8 mm on this saw. 1.8 mm drill bits are readily available for that purpose, and I'd be curious if anyone has taken that route.

Thanks in advance!

I don't know that finger jointing on the SYS 50 would be anything but an exercise in frustration?

1.8mm fingers is awfully narrow, and would be very time consuming to achieve anything worth while?

Sorry I wasn't clear-- The jig design I was referring to (linked below) used a "pin" the size of the kerf to help define the right and left sides of the fingers that were being cut. The jig could cut whatever sized fingers you wanted.

Ok, I get it now. Still wouldn't want to do it on the SYS 50 though. Just too narrow. A router table would be far more suitable.
