I dont know if anyone makes anything like this for the fence rail but I wish they would.

I like Marcel's technique using an extra Festool rail clamp but really did not want to buy another clamp or keep a block of wood around for the spacer.  He does gain some extra table depth and thats nice.

Anyway I just fabricated a couple metal pieces and hand filed all the corners so it couldnt gouge the aluminum.  TIG welded a stud in for the hold down.  I need to get an oversize washer or make one but they really lock the rail down nicely after locating with a set of precision dogs.

Surely someone makes something like this?  Be nice if it was incorporated into the 20mm dog.
