I have a Jet bench-top mortiser. It works fine but the clamping system leaves a little to be desired. I have been wondering if I could modify the table with some kind of retrofit x-y table. I have seen some of the x-y vises that are available for milling applications. I haven't found one that doesn't take up a lot of the vertical travel available (raises the work piece too high).
Has anyone done this kind of modification? Any idea where to look for a table/clamp that might work?
Thank you,
