Incra LS positioner or CS70LA + Wixey WR700

[bkharman]

Hi All hope this not too far off topic ... last year I started experimenting with an idea for a portable wood shop that will break down and go into my 4X4 .... the prototype has two side by side MFT style tops with a saw and router mounted CMS style ... I adapted the LS positioner extension arm to lock on to the 80/20 sub frame for extra stiffness when side extensions are added ... the tables are laid out with Parf Guide system and dog holes added to take the Precision Dogs plate ... the LS positioner and sliding table can be used from both sides ... the Parf sticks allow for super accurate calibration of the tables to each other and any added fixtures like the miter gauge ... still a lot of work to do!

I remember chatting with you a bit on ideas a while ago... I really like the execution mate!  Lots of great ideas here. I have been thinking about a lot of next gen ideas in my setup, but have yet to pull the trigger.  One of mine is to make the slider a bit better than what it does for me in its current state.

Cheers. Bryan.

Thanks for all the responses.

I'm now owner of an Incra positioner from Woodworkers Workshop and the Precision plate from Jerry at PrecisionDogs. After abit of a delay getting the plate through customs I'm now all setup. The accuracy of the Incra is amazing. The ease of attaching and removing the precision plate is awsome.

I'll try get some pictures as it was great to see other people setup for ideas/inspiration so I feel I should share mine too.

I added another use for my Incra positioner today. I mounted my Bosch PBD40 into my VL extension so I can easily drill holes at a specific pattern for mounting to some predrilled aluminum plates.

If you turned the drill press 180 degrees could you use the positioner with a full 120mm depth between the drill bit and the column?

Yes, that's a good idea. Also it means the clamp still works on small pieces!
