ABSTRACT:
A woodworking machinery jig and fixture system includes a track which is attached to a separate plywood fence, auxiliary table or other workpiece support of woodworking machinery such as a table saw, a band saw, radial arm saw, miter saw, a drill press or a router table. A flip stop and an optional microadjuster mount to a T-shaped slot in the track. An angle bracket is also provided for making right angle connections of track to track or track to support. A location stop records the position of a track relative to a flip stop or other jig or fixture and a circle jig can be used in the track to cut circles. A miter guide, optionally having a fixed head, has a longitudinally adjustable auxiliary fence and a miter bar with an anti-play feature in which a bearing is adjusted to slide on the side of a table top slot in which the bar is received. A guideway for the miter guide has a concave bottom wall which adjustably flexes to tighten the guideway around a miter guide bar.
