Horizontal Support for "Ultimate" Vertical Worksta

Instructions

Cutting and Assembly Instructions 1. Cut the mortises for the Dominos in the top using the Shaper Origin. Because the top is quite small it was difficult to cut them out with the DF500 after the top was cut out so I researched the exact size of the holes made at the various settings and added tight mortises on the outsides and a medium mortise for the middle. (Use a 1/8” bit, Inside Cut, 2 passes at 7mm and 15mm deep, 0” offset) [please excuse the holes in the scrap piece of plywood I used shown in the pictures] 2. Cut out the pockets for the supports. These are 18mm wide but check the thickness of your material and adjust with offset accordingly (Use 1/4” bit, 1/4” deep, Pocket Cut then Inside Cut at 0” offset) 3. Cut the slots for clamping knobs. (Use 1/4” bit, Outside Cut, 0” offset, 3 passes [1/4”, 1/2”, 3/4” deep]) 4. Cut out the bottom. I start with cutting out lower pieces to full depth because it doesn’t destroy the marker tape higher on the work surface. Those people that have used the Origin will know what I’m talking about. :-) 5. Cut out top 6. Cut out supports 7. Use the Festool Domino DF500 to mortise the three dominos in the bottom piece. Use the indexing pins to measure the side mortises. Make a mark at the center (150mm from either side) for the center mortise. Feel free to use tight or medium mortises for alignment 8. Glue mortises and channels for supports, assemble and then clamp to right angles to ensure that the top surface will be flush with the top of the UVW when tightened to the t-tracks. 9. OPTIONAL - If you’ve already built the UVW then you’ll need to drill holes in the side to mount the Horizontal Support when not in use. (I have also updated the .svg file on the UVW to include this mounting holes.) This is also a place for an extra set of t-bolts so both the vertical and horizontal supports can be used at the same time if needed. Using the Horizontal Support (HS) 1. Hold the HS below the T-track, position the t-bolts above the slots, slide the HS over the bolts and add the washers and clamping knobs. 2. Mount the work piece to the HS with double-sided tape. 3. Clamp a flat board on to the top of the UVW 4. Push the work piece up to the underside of the flat board 5. Tighten the clamping knobs and remove the flat board from the top of the UVW For more pics and information refer to my blog post... https://www.beezleecreations.com/blog/2018/11/8/horizontal-support-for-shaper-origin-ultimate-vertical-workstation
