woodworks Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Okay, here's my dilemma. Ripping wood without my bladeguard on my table saw, bladeguard does not work with my zero clearance insert. I am looking at either the MagJig Dual Roller Fence & Universal featherboard $76 OR the Mesa Vista Design GT2000 42-Inch Magnetic Featherboard System $150. Anyone have any experience or knowledge in these types of jigs/featherboards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minorhero Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Do you want to buy a new system or would you be happy using your saws bladeguard if you could just extend the slot on your zero clearance insert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torch02 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Do you want to buy a new system or would you be happy using your saws bladeguard if you could just extend the slot on your zero clearance insert? I ended doing just this. I extended the blade kerf lines, then figured out where I needed to make the mortise. A 1/8" drill bit and a thin file made a sufficient hole where I could insert my splitter/ dust hood through the zero clearance insert. You might want to investigate doing this before plunking down any money on an aftermarket system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
