ABSTRACT:
A woodworking machinery jig and fixture system has a stop with a half-dovetail surface and can be provided with one or more T-slots. The half-dovetail surface can be clamped against a half-dovetail surface on the support, or against a flat surface. In one of the stops, the base has multiple through holes, any one of which can be used to mount a flip stop arm so as to vary the height of the arm or use a zero clearance fence. A track for the system has a flange that helps locate the track along the rear corner of a wood fence and also helps secure the track to the wood fence with fasteners through holes that can be drilled in the flange using a drill guide groove formed in the flange. Tension screws are provided in the stop and in the base for eliminating play between the hinge pin, the flip stop and the base. A lens is received in a groove of the stop arm and extends therefrom in position to view a ruler that is mounted on top of the support, facing up. The projection on the bottom of the base that fits into a T-slot is bordered by an angled surface that cams against the corner of the T-slot to push the other edge of the projection against the other corner of the T-slot when the base is assembled to the track, to provide a snug fit between the base and the track. The stops are provided with accessory mounting slots. A fixed stop with a half-dovetail surface, lens groove and accessory mounting slots can be mounted to a standard 2×4 that has a mating half-dovetail surface or a flat surface. A miter fixture can be mounted to the accessory slots that has fingers with ends that provide surface support of the mitered end of a workpiece whether the workpiece is supported with its point toward or away from the working plane of the support.
