What work table would you recommend to use with this jig? Would this be any good... Keter 17182239 Folding Work Table?

I made a custom stand for mine so that the work area was just about eye level. It has 4 mounting holes, so pretty much any stable platform that you can screw it down to will work.

I have my Porter Cable dovetail jig screwed to a piece of 2" x 8" and then clamp that to the work bench top. I would assume it would be ok to have it on a secure folding table, but the jig itself must be screwed down to a piece of lumber first and then that would be clamped to the table top.

Personally I don't always use this jig so I clamp it to any surface free of clutter. If you do purchase a table be sure its sturdy bc pushing the router through the jig May make it want to tip.

I've found two that work. I'm pretty stoked! I'm getting out a Sharpie to mark those bad boys! You have to either remove the plastic thingie on the plunge base or get one longer screw to make it work. I haven't broken anything, but one of the holes is not backed by metal - be careful not to over tighten it because you will break the jig. The other hole is backed by a metal shelf - you can be a bit more aggressive with it. It also seems to work with the smaller Jasper 400 jig.

I think you should look at the Dewalt table saw stand DW7440RS. This one if for table saws and more stable. You'll need to remove the tube stand from the saw you have to be able to mount it to the rolling stand. Cheaper too just saw it for $154

Don't use that bit with this table. The table itself is excellent, but doesn't have enought mass to use that bit safely. Buy the table, but use a vertical profile panel raising bit instead. Much safer bit in all respects, with a cleaner cut and way less vibration.

I use this to hold my toolbox on a wood table and it works well. This product would work perfectly for holding your sewing machine on a folding table. Just make sure you have the right dimensions or you will end up using 2 pieces instead of just 1.

Pierce, No I didn't. I only had the K3 Junior. But I must say this jig is good and I am using it to make Kitchen cabinet and am quite happy with it.

The jig is just fine. The bits are crap! Pot metal and strip out with little torque applied. Get good bits and it'll be just fine.

You need to reference two surfaces at 90 degrees to each other to conduct jointing activity. If you build a jig at a perfect 90 degrees, yes you could actually joint edges. However, I'm not sure this machine will hold up to those thick maple boards. Buy a good "glue-line" rip blade for your table saw. The blade will cost about as much as this machine.

i also compared both, bought the dewalt and it is an excellent table and works well. especially the drilled holes all match up perfectly. i love this table and would buy this one again if i ever need another one this size.

Depends on what type of projects you are trying to accomplish. I have been a little disappointed in my kreg jig honestly. It is good for joining 1x dimensional lumber but not good in joining 1x to 2x or 2x to 2x. Id imagine if you went smaller than 1x, it would provide very little strength to joints. The master system gives you a few bells and whistles like the clamp but you're fine saving a few bucks and going with another if you wanted.

I don't know specifically about the TS3650, but I use it on a Rigid R4512 table saw. The tenoning jig is pretty universal.

No stupid questions --- only stupid answers! Yes, in theory this could be used with one of those simple wood miter boxes. One would need clamps or some other way to secure the workpiece to a table as this saw usually requires two hands to make a nice cut.

I've used and owned various Kreg jigs (K2000, K3, K4 and K5). They have gotten better with each new model. An exception to this was the K3 versus the K4. I liked the K3 better than the K4 because of the clamping lever in the front (K3) versus the back (K4). The K2000 also had the lever in the back. It is better to have the clamping lever in the front especially when working with larger work pieces. It is good to see Kreg go back to the front lever. I like the K5 best because of the ratcheting clamp. You don't get a face clamp like you do with the K4MS Jig Master System, but the Automaxx clamps are better anyway. I like the 6" better than the 3" clamp. The right angle clamp works great for assembling cabinets also. If you are going to be doing small work (1/2" or less) get the Micro Drill Guide and large work (11/2" & larger) get the HD Jig. They will fit in the K3,K4, or K5 Jigs. To make a long story short get the K5 Jig over the K4 Jig.

The table is cast iron and flat. The fence is sturdy with slots for attaching an auxiliary fence for re-sawing large pieces. With a good re-saw blade such as the 1/2" Wood-Slicer' available at Highland Woodworking, it will work very well, assuming you take the time to set it correctly. I've also used it with a 1/4" blade for bandsaw boxes and other intricate cuts with good results. There are other good 14" bandsaws but none for the price of the Rikon. If you have never owned or used a bandsaw then you are missing out on a tool that is fun to use. Best of luck in your selection. The table is cast iron and flat.

I would use the bit they provide- the bearings ride along the jig to guide the bit, so they need to ride exactly along the jig. This is not the highest quality jig, but its a great deal for the price, but i wouldn't mix-and-match anything

The saw works beautifully in the two situations I have: construction and furniture making. On construction projects, I use the Dewalt stops on the stand. I can live with +- 1/16". For furniture work, I'm back at the shop, using a custom made extension table with with stops that don't move. For furniture, I can not have any deviation. That's my solution. In a previous comment, the writer suggested you snug up the stops, and be careful about how much pressure you put on them with your workpiece. I do this out of habit, and it usually produces pretty good results.

Don,I'VE used this stand to hold 8foot long, 6X6 pressure treated pieces, using a Dewalt Sawzall. It wobbles, but the table vise hold the material. My vexation with the piece is that it was annoying to assemble, it wants to flop out and unfold when you carry it. And, it is not nearly as stable as the earlier models. It is a cheap price for a below average piece.Dave
