And could it work the way "Dino" claims?



The claim on the website is:



The Universal, Integrated, Precision, Modular, Extendable, Portable, Bi-Directional, Reversable, Multitrack, Antisplintering, Anti-chip, Anti-Dumb solution to woodworking that you can fit in the trunk of your car.

with lots of expensive accessories you have to buy to make it work.

Looks kind'a like a chair I made back in high school.

Looks like a better mousetrap to me. Better, maybe. Cheaper, doubtful.

If he's so confident it'll save me money, how about a 30-day free trial?

John: That exactly what I thought when I saw the site.

Greg: I found the site you are speaking of last night as well after I stumbled across this 'system' here...

To me, it seems like the sawboard I made a looong time ago would do exactly the same thing--and it didn't cost me a thing because I used scrap wood. (Well, maybe the glue but I waste more on a lot of prjects than I used on this.)

I didn't know if I was looking at the whole thing wrong or not but is looks like it's as silly as I thought it was!

Thanks

Oh, and I don't really agree with the "Anti-Dumb" part of the descrption if they are asking you to pay $200 for what you can make for about $2.00.

We have always called them a zero board onna count of that's the distance you offset it from the line you want to cut/rout.

We always ho-made ours but I suppose spending money on one would help someone's economy.

I find that it works OK -- got it at a show in Balt. for some "deep discount" (maybe 35-4-% off what he lists). The guy is a character. I got it because I have found that I have trouble keeping my saw (and router) tight to whatever guide I have tried using. I don't know/do enough to acquire the right technique. This thing provides a track, so more idiot-proof, which somehow I find is a good thing for me. Once I build a panel cutting table, like this one,

I think I'll have a darn good panel saw setup.

It is _akin_ to the Festool guide rail system.

As for the anti-chip abilities, cannot really say as I need a new saw. But it did seems to cut down >And could it work the way "Dino" claims?

A very expensive jig that replaces this:
