Agh! Thanks for bringing up bad memories of Polaroids and developing
snafus.

There's a more recent photo of one of the original (25+ years old)
squares at http://www.iedu.com/ssq/ssq_photo1.jpg. The notch in the
fence was made by a 1/4" straight router bit. That information and a
minimal amount of thought should lead to insight as to why the "web"
between the arms of the square more or less doubled its usefulness -
something that the non-woodworking types could never pick up on.

Okay, I haven't eaten and maybe my brain ran out of blood sugar, but
what does the web do for the router? I was thinking maybe the curve
would act as an adjustable trammel or something, but there're no
markings and the fence would get in the way.

If anyone finds the design interesting, now would be the time to snarf
the images, because they'll disappear from my server sometime in the
week ahead. It's time for me to put this piece of my woodworking life
behind me and move on...

It's still a service that you're providing. A valuable one. Is it
really necessary to pull the plug? It seems to be breathing on its
own...
