Not too long ago I did this using a sink from Karran. Initially I was quite trepidatious because if it didn't go well the cost was going to seriously escalate. But after digesting the install info...
Sure it'll work. You may have to get a little (or even a lot) creative on how you mount it, but as long as you come up with something that will slide the scale thru the readout you're golden.

I agree that the planer DRO definitely makes things easier.
CAUTION: Thread hijack in progress. Sorry about that :D
But you havent lived until you get a DRO for your tablesaw fence. I got...
FWIW; I've been using PVC in my shop for about ten years now with no problems. I don't know what schedule it is, but I got it from Home Depot and its marked at 480PSI.
A friend of mine who...
Thanks guys for all the suggestions. For starters I'm going to get new guide bushings and a centering tool, and once i know the bits are centered I can start looking at some of the other things that...
I'm no stranger to this jig and have had good results with it in the past, but it seems the more time I spend with it the worse my joints get, so here's the particulars:
I'm using a pair of...
The real question is how much face frame do you want exposed when the doors are closed?
The answer, of course, is all a matter of personal preference. My choice is for 2" face frames and Blum...
For just one or two doors it's kinda pricey but if you're installing several it's well worth the cost.
The jig works quite well and makes quick work of the hinge mortises. Be prepared to do a...
Not to hijack your thread or anything but....:)
Down the road somewhere, when you're ready for the next major upgrade, consider the sommerfeld aluminum table top and a Triton 3.25HP router.

The easiest/quickest way to do this is to simply set your fence forward so the depth of cut is only 1/64th - 1/32nd deep. Run your ply at this depth to make what is essentially a "scoring cut", then...
The triton routers come with an adapter which will accept Leigh guide bushes parts # 711TP & 716TP. You can see a picture of these two guides here: http://www.leighjigs.com/ugs.php What you're...
Yes, pre-finished ply. I've not had the problem on cuts with the grain but cross-grain results in really bad tear-out. My solution has been to set the fence forward for a cut that is 1/64-1/32" deep....
I've been using the Sommerfeld T&G bits for almost 2 years now. While I love the T&G concept for cabinet construction, I'v found the height matching to be problematic. I'm using exactly the same...
I would opt for Wunderfill from Rockler. It's water based, dries fairly quickly and sands quite easily. Takes paint well too. It will shrink a bit in drying so either overfill or do a 2nd coat. For...
In your case you need to devise some brackets that will make the readout remain in a fixed position and the scale move up & down with the table. (The scale is the long rod-type thing that moves thru...
I recently bought one of these thiings. So far I've only opened the box and inspected the parts. Quite impressive. Rigid, beefy and heavy. More importantly it's one continuous unbroken 36" surface...
If you used the little squeeze tube chances are the material has just separated. Knead the tube and work the contents from bottom to top for a few minutes then try it again. I had the same problem...
I'm the traveler too. Only been in Ypsi since '95, and prior to that my address was "USN-The Globe". Really miss it sometimes, but trying to figure out how to do dovetail joints on the drillpress...
Well, Hello back to ya. Are you the guy that lives in that tin shed behind Sam's Club? :)
I think there are a couple other Ypsi-ites who frequent the Creek.
Do you belong to the SEMIWW?
My vote is also for the JDS. I've owned one for over 15 years now and it's never had a problem other than the one I caused by dropping it and breaking off the "shot pin" that locks it in position. A...
The supposed value of the lift, or a router with built-in above-table adjustment, seems to lie in being able to raise/lower the router without having to bend/kneel. This is problematic since you have...
Wisdom? .....Well. I don't know about that but at 68yrs old I guess I qualify in the age category.
Anyway. I've had superlative results using a first coat of Watco Cherry Danish Oil, followed by...
As part of your research get the DVD "cabinetmaking made easy" from http://www.Sommerfeldtools.com.
If you use their tongue&groove method of construction you'll find it fast and easy, and your...
Don't overlook the Triton 2.25HP model. It has plenty of power and the ease of height adjustment is a joy to use. And at $199 from http://www.Sommerfeldtools.com it's hard to beat. (That includes...
