Stumbled upon this while sanding some 8mm Maple trim. Pushed a little to flex the wood furthest away from the 2 closest dogs and slipped a wedge of about 5mm thick material into the gap. Dogs are low-profile (6mm).

Put a little curve into the wedges to get some spring action. Held firmly even with the RO90 in rotary mode.

Too simple...must...complicate....  [big grin]

Yeah its on my short list. During  a custom cab built-in I found I was wishing I had one. Ended up using a 3x3 sheet of 3/4 oak plywood on top of my Bosch GTS1031 table saw and trying to clamp on that. If I didn't put my Bosch 4100 in my storage trailer 120 miles away I would of used that as a table lol. I kept thinking of those holes for clamping  [mad]

For years I sneered at those overpriced tables with the holey sawdust tops in the catalogs whilst I rigged up ever more goofy ways to clamp stuff to my ancient hard maple bench. Then I gave up the mega sized shop in on the big lot in PA for the tiny lot at the shore and a 10' by 12' work-shed. I was forced to sell the Unisaw and "replaced" it with the TS55, which soon led to the MFT. I recently passed the maple bench along to another traveler.

Best trade-offs I ever made, the MFT is unbelievably versatile and flexible enough to make the work-shed function. Storage is still a problem, today I got tired of tripping over a couple plywood jigs so I screwed them to the underside of the rafters. [cool]
