Info On Norm's Stile Router Table Holddown

[Peter DeFazio]

Hi All,

Was watching Norm on PBS today. He was cutting stiles on his router table. He used a Holddown that fits into the miter slot. Much more stable than using a plain old miter guage His has a quick release clamp, etc.

Does anyone know who makes this thing, and wher I can get more info?

Thanks,
Pete

Many companies make these. They are accessories for shapers. Mine is Delta but Powermatic, Jet Grizzley and ShopFox all make one. I think Norm's is one of several types of Deltas.;)

Is this the jig you are asking about? If so here is some information on it.Delta Website (http://www.deltawoodworking.com/catalog/default.asp?cat_id=38&model_no=43-188)

For your future edification, you can almost always find the answer to that sort of NYW question in the <b>Norm's Tools</b> section of my website.

Thanks Rod, I'll check it out

Check it out...you won't believe it.

If you have ANY, and I do mean ANY question about Norm or NYW, Rod's our man. If he can't get (or does not already have) the answer, NOBODY can.

Rod, I am glad you are here. I can't imagine a woodworking forum without your knowledge.

Albany by tomorrow mornin' (another week of snow)...
