Spline jig for CSC SYS 50?

[jpgodwin]

Hi everyone

Just wondering if anyone has created a spline jig for their csc sys 50, and if so, does anyone have a picture? Wondering what the best way to go about it is, and would ideally like to use the sled instead of the fence like most I see on other saws

I like fence saddles in general. It looks like the CSC SYS 50 fence has some stuff on the back, which makes the saddle a little less straightforward, but it should still work.

In this video I did on our track clamp and 1/4"-20 T-slot bits, you can see my basic approach for a fence saddle. I've built dozens of them by shaving the rib material down until I had a drag fit on the fence. The T-slot method in the video saves some time and avoids a fence that gets too tight or too loose with seasonal changes. On your Festool saw, the back side of the saddle could stop half way down and avoid whatever those things are on the back of the fence.

The jig in the video is for cutting tenons, but it's just a matter of putting a V-block on the face, instead of a vertical fence to make it a spline jig. Now that I think about it, if you put two slots across the face, you could make it cover a wide range of angles. Put a track clamp slot centered between the two fence slots and Bob's your uncle.
