T systand

[joiner1970]

Picked up a set of mft dogs that a very kind member had made for me by an engineer friend of his. They will work well with the tsystand for cross cutting small items

You missed another down side to sys-mft  due to the weight of the lid when you open it tips over easily.

I have TWO still not used them yet bought them because....... I buy stuff lol!

Bought  the festool QUADRILL DR 18 the other day dont ask me why I asked my self why.  DAM IT!

A little [embarassed]....more a tool junkie though.  Eyeing up all this new Milwaukee recently.  Reluctant to buy any of it though because I have had so much trouble with the crappy Milwaukee impact drill.  

Saying that just bought the Milwaukee heated jacket the other day seen as the cold weather is arriving.

Also wanted Kreg Pocket Jig Forman but from America the shipping is to expensive and Not many UK dealers have the electric version and the ones which might have one Im worried they might have the defective one which had problems with clamping pressure.

So decided to make my own Kreg Pocket jig machine!  Made it today!

Heated jacket ! Wimp !
I was looking at the little 12v sds for kitchen installation but can't make up my mind . Maybe you should buy it and give us the heads up  [big grin]

Yeah had noticed that but when it's locked to another systainer it's fine.

I made one of Rogier's T-systands this spring for when i am doing marine woodworking and i must say it is very useful when working in a small space and have to carry everything down a dock.

Mine is not as nice as the ones that he makes but with the shipping to the states it was to expensive ( i am quite cheap ). I kind of feel bad that he is not getting compensated for his idea and also for me using the pictures he posted to make mine so i would like to thank him for his great idea.

Give you an heads up now. I have the 18v SDS nice SDS  but the battery life is okay so based on that cant imagine the 12v version having a lot of life

and OI not a wimp I like to work in comfort lol

[Davej]

Not so much the battery life more the impact strength as it's less than 1 joule . I just want a decent cordless lightweight sds for drilling the holes for wall cabinet brackets.

I recently got one of their heated hoodies and am pleased with it. For Seattle weather the sweatshirt combined with a rain shell should do me quite well through winter!

I'm glad the concept worked out for you. I wonder how longit took you to make one, and what materials you used.
would love to see the results.

I made it from maple plywood and it took a while looking at the pictures and about 3 hours to build with most of that time figuring out how to make it latch properly. I left out the hand hole and the groove because i did not think i would use either one. As you can see in the photos that it fits nice and tight and it worked great the couple of times that i used it.

Here you go here's the set up I was thinking of for cross cutting. These are the dogs a member kindly had made for me

I've not run a saw on it yet to try it and I was thinking of making a wider sacrificial top. The top then will have a kerf mark in it to help alignment.

The dogs are just clamped down with m8 bolts and wing nuts. This works well on the tsystand but the rebated sections on the sys mft ,where the feet clip in make the mdf thinner so another dog is needed where the 19.9mm section is slightly shorter. I've got 4 dogs and one dog is shorter to allow for fixing in the thinner sysmft. Hope that makes sense.

Im really enjoying this thread,

I have been looking at this idea for quite a while now but haven't really found the job where I really NEED such an attachment.
I am toying with the idea of the cut out for the jigsaw underneath in addition.
I really like the idea of the dogs and the rail it expands the possibilities even more.
With a removable/exchangeable top it would be the tops.

Thanks everyone for their contributions, keep them coming.

Yeah pip I thought about a jigsaw or router table too

that's a beautiful piece of counterfeit. Why did you use an alternative grid with the holes, any specific reason?
You did not really deviate from my original design, have you got any suggestions for design improvement though?

Looking good Chris. Not sure if dogs are the way to go here, there's not as many positioning possibilities as on a MFT. Maybe a fixed jig is the better option here. just a thought.

Pip, if you want a T-systand with a replaceable top, it would be possible. The top will be screwed on in stead of being glued. one extra top complementary.
