Putting a 1+1/8" deep groove on the edge of a 3/4" board

[John Stevens]

I've been doing WWing for over 30 years and I've never found the need to make a groove that proportion. What is the goal?

the Woodpecker Super Track would be even better. If you gring just a little bit off the sides of the Festool clamps they will fit into the tracks (same with Dewalt track clamps)

You could clamp the work to the side of your MFT but be careful to shim it to make sure it's perpendicular to the MFT surface. This may not be an issue with the MFT/3 but the sides of the older MFTs are off about a degree.

I suppose you don't have a plate joiner but that is a quick way to make groove

All great points, Michael.

Regards,

John

Hey Chicagonewguy,
I see what you are trying to do from the video link you provided.

As you commented, this is something that's pretty trivial on a table saw.

You know, I'll bet there are some folks from Chicago on this forum who would let you use their tablesaw for a few minutes to cut those grooves.

I am a huge fan of using two fences or the Plexiglas template -- this is very safe and secures the router well -- and it is fast to adjust where you want the groove.
