Today, I had to much of spare time [eek] (I hope my wife will not see that) [cool]
I was looking around to get "any" Parallel guide system and I could't decide which one to pick, festool, seneca, .... DIY?
After reading many reviews - decided to go DIY,
whole material cost me no more than $35 so I decided to get a shot [blink]
My system is based on Empire aluminum straight edge ruler some 1/8" thick aluminum stock and some hardware.
What I noticed that 5/16" bolts fit a track slot very well.
- Festool Track is wide about 7 1/4" so my guide starts exactly from 7 1/4" size.
- Fine tuning (till 1/32") is made by cutting locking block (last three photos).... - future adjust may not be needed, front of the lock is very well fit and rear block is solid also, - but who knows
)
just please take a look ....
