Just LOOK at it! It fell in two!

How disappointing, you just can't depend on that FESTOOL stuff. That sure is a clean break line isn't it. Almost looks like some idiot sawed it in two......
OK, OK, I confess already. It's only a $45 dollar item and I had the thing and I didn't want to fork over the $50 for the magnets the guy on Ebay sells. So.... Trim Stop, Japanese saw, you two haven't met have you?
I needed some way to register to the outside edge on frames. This does it. No marking required. You just center your stock and "remove" one half of the bisected trim stop. Then you make all the cuts that are appropriate for that half then switch. It works like a charm.

It is a little wobbly so you have just push down on the top of it with a finger of the hand holding the knob on the plate. You can still use it as intended and it still works fine when used as intended. No really, I promise it does. It's not perfect but it works. And it can now be used to make that first mortise on wider boards as well. I find it's more accurate than the cross stop for that.

So all of you out there with trim stops? I recommend a thin kerf pull saw. By the way that's some serious plastic in that thing, it was a real pain to cut.
