Instructions

Additional materials

This project requires some additional materials. We have provided multiple options for each of these items. Choose the option that best fits how you plan to use your workstation.


Track/Clamp Option 1 - Rockler T-Track + Clamps:
These swivel clamps are the more flexible option and can accommodate a wide variety of material sizes and thicknesses.

Track/Clamp Option 2 - Peach Tree T-Track + Clamps:
These clamps, are not as versatile as the Rockler clamps (these don’t swivel and have a smaller maximum material thickness). They do, however, provide better hold down force.

Alignment Pin Option 1 - Delrin (Acetal) Rod:
This is the recommended material to use for the alignment pins. It’s cross section is much more predictable than wood dowel, making it more reliable as an alignment feature.

Alignment Pin Option 2 - Maple (or other hardwood) Dowel:
Maple (or other hardwood) Dowel: If you plan to order material for these pins, get the Delrin. This is option provided as reference in case you already have ½” dowel you want to use.
