Shopmade Outfeed Cabinet
Originally Posted by Dave Johnson in the category Fence Attachments This project came about because of my lack of cabinet space and my growing dissatisfaction with out-feed rollers. The top I used was 1 1/4” particleboard with a plastic laminate top. I chose this mostly because I had it on hand. You can use whatever you have and adjust the dimensions accordingly. Also, when the slab was poured in the building I am using for a shop they were not very good about leveling it. Because of this I built my cabinet about 1/4” lower than the top of my saw and used Kitchen cabinet type leveling legs to bring it even and level with the saw top. The top of my saw measures 37 1/4” from the ground and sitting flat the height of the cabinet is 37” even. I bought the leg levelers from The Woodworkers Store, Part # 20826. They come four to a set at $9.95 a set. They measure 4” at their shortest and give you 7/8” of adjustment. Phone # is 1-800- 279-4441. ...

High Fence for Dado and Panel Raising

High Fence for Dado and Panel Raising
High Fence for Dado and Panel Raising Designed by Jim Frye This fence was built for supporting a sacrificial face attached to the rip fence for dado and rabbit work. By making the right side face tall also, this fence can be used to make raised panels by setting the fence on the left side of the blade. The fence is 24” long, but could be longer to provide more support beyond the blade. The fence is 6” tall and has four partitions to hold the faces parallel. This fence is held on the rip fence by two strips of wood that ride in the T-slots in both sides of the rip fence. This one was made from 3/4” hard maple, but plywood would be more stable, especially if it wasn’t finished like this one is. The fence was built up on the rip fence to ensure that it was square with the fence. Be sure to wax the rip fence before doing any glue so that the dried glue won’t stick to the aluminum and to make it easier to remove the high fence later. There are no drawings for this jig. It was built following the basic design of the tenon jig I designed. See the pictures below for the orientation of the parts. ...

Hold-In Featherboard
You’ve got Hold-down, now here’s Hold-In – so simple to make! By Rod Kirby Woodhaven Hold in part #212 (page Fall 1999 catalogue). I located this as shown, so that you can’t make a mistake and place it too far forward – it’ll pinch the timber. To mount it, extend the SMT all the way towards you – left hand bolt is 3/8” (perfect fit in the SMT hole), right hand bolt is 5/16”. Finger pressure on the head of the 3/8” bolt holds it enough to tighten the knob. Make sure you lock the SMT down before y...

Finger Board for BT3000 Sliding Miter Table
Finger Board for BT3000 Sliding Miter Table Designed by Jim Frye This is a simple finger board mount for the SMT. The picture shows how it is mounted on the table. I used a 5/16”bolt and shop made 2”knob to secure it in the SMT slot, but you could use the bolt and knob from the miter fence. The bolt and knob hold the board in place and it is prevented from pivoting by two 1/4”thick wood strips that are glued and pined to the under side of the board and registered along the edges of the SMT tab...

A radiator hose clamp on the inside prevents it from sliding out too far. ... -

Dust Collector Pan for BT3000
Dust Collector Pan for BT3000 Designed by Jim Frye This project is the result of an attempt to create a prototype for a dust collector pan for the bottom to the BT3K cabinet. The idea here is to keep the dust from falling onto the items stored on the lower part of the saw stand. Since I have been planning to enclose the saw stand with a wood cabinet, I wanted to use the space below the saw for tool, blade, and jig storage. An additional goal was to improve dust collection inside of the saw and above it also. The aim is to collect more dust inside the cabinet and hopefully extend the life of the motor and other mechanisms in the cabinet by keeping it cleaner. The use of a dust collection system or shop vac is essential when using this pan. ...

Cove Cutting Jigs for the BT3000
Cove Cutting Jigs for the BT3000 By Jim Frye This article covers the construction and use of a set of jigs to create cove moldings on the BT3000. Making cove moldings on a table saw is an old technique and is easily done on the BT3K. This technique can be used to cut a cove of almost any dimension up to 3 9/16” deep and up to 9 1/2” wide, although those dimensions are probably way beyond the realm of practicality. The cove cut on a table saw is not a true circular form, but rather an ellipse of ...

A Featherboard For The Rip Fence
Featherboard for the rip fence – this is the result. By Rod Kirby
I remembered that I had bought (years ago) a Woodhaven “Hold Down” (still available: part# 211, page 21 in their Fall 1999 catalog $17.99). Everything you see (except the knobs/washers, tee nuts & wood) is supplied by Woodhaven. All you have to do is make the wooden support – it’s a snap! ... -

BT3000 Miscellaneous Improvements
These are some of the first things I did after I bought the BT3K (7 years ago).
- The Handle. The Handle was needed so I could mount the fence and have enough room for the “Fast track” along the top. The handle is a piece of striated 1-¼” curtain rod – perfect for the job. The tee nut is set in a counter bore slightly less than the thickness of the tee nut. This means that as you tighten the handle, the tee nut binds on the fence. If the counter bore was any deeper the tightening action would draw
