Well, I finally got around to upgrading and replacing various tablesaw
sleds and jigs to fit the new saw. And in addition to the mandatory
crosscut box, I designed an add-on for cutting small wedge segments
for turned vessels.

Outstanding, simple idea, Greg - KISS is always the best policy, right
enough. My late Dad used to say an hour making a jig is never wasted.
I can never understand workshops that don't even have a crosscut box.
Thanks for the pictures - one picture worth 1000 words and all that...

I had something similar of my own (probably still have if I can find
it - that kind of workshop) - made for my router table rather than the
saw. But rather than two 'feet' to align it with, I put in a couple
of brass woodscrews - half a turn either way trimmed up the angle.
Kept meaning to replace the woodscrews with threaded inserts, but of
course never ever got around to it.

On the topic of jigs, can anyone point me towards plans for shop-made
hold-down toggle clamps - wooden ones would do? I've made and used
various screw-down devices, with wing-nuts, etc, but toggle clamps are
just that much more convenient for jigs. Larger ones are expensive
enough here in the UK to have me moving them from one jig to another -
bit of a nuisance.
