Hello,
First of all, if this is not the right part of the forum, excuse me. I do not have a solution to my problem yet, just looking for it so might be posting in the wrong part of the forum.
ever so often the Incra fences come by on this forum. So far I found numerous posts about different ways people mounted Incra tools on they MFT, mostly on the FOG forum.
What I have not come across yet is someone that has mounted an Table saw fence on their MFT (I actualy have the table saw / router combo in mind but they use the same rails)
It's this system that I am having in mind:
http://www.incra.com/product_tsf_lsts.htm
The XL version of this setup would fit the width of the MFT/3 so what I am currently looking for is a nice solution to mount the rails to the MFT. Since the Incra rails are 72inch (180cm) they will stick out (they will stick out even if you would cut them because they have to extend to the saw and router)
These rails are normaly mounted to a table saw by using pre drilled holes or by drilling holes yourself. They are mounted to a table as shown below in the picture:
It is ofcourse possible to just drill a few holes on the tableside of your MFT and then mount the rails on your MFT.
Now what I am curious about....
Would it not be a nice idea to mount the rails in some way to the Trail of the MFT ? Preferrable that they can easily be dismantled ? I am thinking about something that might slide into the Trail and can easily be tightened....
Maybe something simular like this:
I know I am not the first one to come up with this idea, I atleast have seen 1 posting of someone suggesting the same thing.... however so far I have not found any solutions. Hopefully there are ?
any suggestions more than welcome, thanks in advance !
