New tool to me

[pettyconstruction]

So I picked up a woodpeckers parallel guide syste.
Now I have to figure it out .

Start by chucking all those phillips head screws in the garbage, and upgrade them to 5/8" long hex head, cutting 4 shorter for the head mounts. Then make a set of stops, or use bolts and nuts so you don't have to calibrate every time. Nice setup!  [big grin]

The most complicated thing with Woodpeckers tools is coming up with the best wall display configuration [wink]

no kidding about the Phillips screws,hate em already.
I was thinking about a hand knob.

I didn't realize I had to calibrate it every time ,makes sense.

Can you elaborate more on the stops you mentioned.
Thanks,Charlie

Thanks for taking the time to put all of that together.

You're welcome. Pretty easy to find actually. I just searched my user name with "Woodpeckers" as a key word.
