Abstract: In one example, a machinery fence support system comprises a base providing a substantially stationary position relative to a cutting tool; a moveable fence for guiding a workpiece relative to the cutting tool, and a linear motion mechanism between the base and the fence. The linear motion mechanism facilitates motion of the fence in a direction substantially perpendicular to a length of the fence. Examples of this disclosure facilitate notching a workpiece for a beaded face frame using a rotary bit.

Abstract: An assembly comprises a support table including a support table orifice; a insert plate within the support table orifice; and at least one mounting and leveling apparatus. The mounting and leveling apparatus comprises a clamp screw; at least two leveling screws; at least one mounting screw; and a mounting bracket that defines a first threaded hole that threadably engages the clamp screw, a second hole that receives the at least one mounting screw and a third set of threaded holes that each threadably engages one of the at least two leveling screws. The clamp screw pulls the insert plate towards the mounting bracket when tightened. The at least one mounting screw couples the mounting bracket to the support table. The at least two leveling screws are independently adjustable to allow a top surface of the insert plate to be precisely aligned with a top surface of the support table.

Abstract: An assembly comprises a platform including a first clamping surface, a track proximate to an edge of the first clamping surface, and a clamp mechanism including a second clamping surface. The clamp mechanism is configured to clamp a workpiece between the first clamping surface and the second clamping surface. The clamp mechanism is mounted to the track. The clamp mechanism is positionable at different locations along the track. The assembly may further comprise one or more adjustable spacer blocks mountable to the track to facilitate precisely positioning a workpiece proximate to the track at least two different spacings.

Abstract: A push stick comprises a body providing a bottom surface and a heel member that protrudes beyond the bottom surface; and a slide-out ruler that is selectably positionable to extend from the body. The push stick is a safety device that can be used to push a workpiece past a blade or bit while keeping an operator's hands out of harm's way. The ruler allows an operator to use the push stick to make measurements, such as setting the height of a cutting tool relative to a workpiece table.

Abstract: A drill guide apparatus includes a body providing a workpiece clamping surface. The body includes one or more drill guides, wherein the one or more drill guides pass through the workpiece clamping surface at an acute angle, a first track, and a second track. The drill guide apparatus further comprises a first slider mounted on the first track, and a second slider mounted on the second track. The first slider includes a first extrusion that extends beyond the workpiece clamping surface and is slideable along the first track to adjust the position of the first extrusion relative to the workpiece clamping surface. The second slider includes a second extrusion that extends beyond the workpiece clamping surface and is slideable along the second track to adjust the position of the second extrusion relative to the workpiece clamping surface. The drill guide may also include a removeable clamp retainer.

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.

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.

Abstract: A pocket-hole drilling apparatus for drilling pocket-holes in a workpiece is disclosed. In one embodiment, an initiation switch actuates clamping the workpiece and the movement of a drilling module to cut a pocket-hole. The drilling module has a motor and a step-drill mounted thereon, which is slidably mounted on a guide module. The axis of the drilling module movement intersects work surface. In another embodiment, a movable fence provides the adjustability of pocket-hole depth. In yet another embodiment, two actuator tips are disposed in a fence to prevent the drilling of a pocket-hole through the sidewall of a workpiece. In still another embodiment, a short stroke clamping actuator is used to prevent human finger injury. In still another embodiment, a blower or an ejector pump is used to remove wood chips, wherein the blower is either attached to a drilling motor or to a separate blower motor; the ejector pump is mounted near the drill guide.
