MatchFit Alterations and Jigs

I purchased some MatchFit clamps, a dovetail bit, and accessories...these enabled me to route grooves and make some appliances...manufacturer's examples to the right...

On the crosscut sled...I routed through grooves that are parallel to the fence...had to make sure they were not in line with the screws to the mitre bars.

Used the Festool guide to create some grooves parallel to the front edge and to the back fence.

The routed dovetail groove is mated with a dovetail clamp.

Routed a groove in the top of the fence. MatchFit clamps will run anywhere in this groove...

Example...holding a block stop...
Jigs with grooves routed into them can be clamped to the fence on the outside...

Custom jigs, appliances, and stops can be placed anywhere along the fence using knobs from MatchFit.

Dovetail shaped plates with bolts run in the groove...handles tighen.

Some other uses...a 10 inch tall fence for the tablesaw...
...laid flat it becomes a sled for straightening an edge...or tapering an edge...
A 3 inch fence...
...under bench MatchFit clamp storage...
