So I got a leigh super24 and am amazed with it. I have been pounding out DT's like crazy. So easy and so nice. I love it and would highly recommend one to anyone. So here is my question:
I'm working on a desk for a customer. He is very picky and knows the exact look he is after. My problem has been mating a 22" Deep top to a 21.5" deep base with half blinds so that the DT spacing mirrors each side and the extra 1/2" of the top is at the front for both left and right case side. More explanation I think is needed. I have a left and right side that will serve as my tail boards. These will be verticle in placement. I am using variably spaced halfblinds. My tail boards are 13/16" thick Ash. My top is 1" thick Ash. The top needs to have a 1/2" overhang on the front. So I think that I need to be using a 1/2" spacer in my process somewhere to mimic the overhang. Just where? Or am I way off base here? This may not even be possible for all I know. It just seems that there aren't all that many limitations to this jig and that this would be an easy task. I am a few attempts into this and can't keep burning up wood through the trial and error that I'm curently depending on to get it done. Help?
