How To Add T-slots To An Existing Groove - WOOD magazine

- Not all miter gauges are the same. Some just ride in a groove while others have a washer on the end and glide through a t-slot. With a router, a t-slot bit and a straight piece of wood, you can alter your outfeed table groove to accommodate your new miter gauge. WOOD magazine's Bob Hunter shows you how.

Very Cool router bit for cutting T-slots !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video and camera work. Thanks for sharing. 👍
I thought you would set the depth from the sawtable, and use the table's fence to guide the router.
its easier to use the round edge of the router for cuts like that, even if it doesnt matter if you come off the fence a bit
I think I would've created a wide spot just past the edge of the table saw, one at the point where my miter guide is fully past the saw blade and one more at the end of the groove in the outfeed table. This is so I can lift the miter guide bar.
That's a fair point-I could have done that.
Same extra holes would make inserting and removing the gauge a whole lot easier that having to aim it in from the front of the miter slots..
Notice the birds chirping in the background, then the sound of some rain on the shop roof. I’m thinking his shop is located on a tranquil piece of property. Not a suburban garage like mine.
Big Mo, I wish! But I live on a quiet cul-de-sac, so it's not too bad. And that was a beautiful day. Another time I tried to shoot a video my neighbor decided to attack an old car with an angle grinder, so I had to shut the overhead door.
Bob Hunter: LOL - I guess no was projecting my imaginary dream shop on you! We can dream...
Ok...👍👍👍👍👍
Nice tips. Seems like it would have been better to have moved the outfeed table and not fiddle with a mag-stop and chiseling to chase the slot to the end next to the table saw. Here is the Rockler T-slot cutter that Bob was using in this video www.rockler.com/rockler-t-slot-cutter-router-bit
My outfeed table is bolted to my tablesaw, so it cannot be moved. Thanks for posting the link to the bit.
No way is that a 5/8" diameter cutter on a 1/2" shank. Gotta be at least 3/4", probably closer to an inch.
Yes way it is. Follow the link I posted above in my comment and see how the bit is constructed.
@@allanwolfe6071 Upon further review, you're correct. I see now that the shank is slimmed where the cutting portion begins for better waste clearance. I must say though that chiseling out that last bit instead of just slightly separating the outfeed is a bit of a C.H.U.D. move, but I also know that some folks will use any excuse to bust out one of their deadly-honed chisels.
@@DrMackSplackem my outfeed table is bolted to my tablesaw, so I could not move it. And the bit is indeed 5/8".
@@DrMackSplackem The 1/2" shaft narrows down to a smaller neck because the bit is designed for cutting T-slots with a 3/8" bolt opening. Rockler makes great tools, but I'm looking for one that size that doesn't cost $45.
