Finally calling this one DONE (for now).

This is a full modular and tunable table saw + crosscut sled workstation / router table / assembly table / linear rail sled system I’ve been slowly iterating on over the last several months, and it’s finally got its first cuts in.

Highlights:

• Dual-rail sliding table sled system - no miter runners allows for fully support of over 24" of infeed travel controlled, and trolley cleat interface allows sliding tabletop to just pull off and drop back in with no tools and perfect re-registration
• Micro-tune table saw base - the saw base is split with a pivot pin/locking system that allows me to use adjustment screws to align the table saw blade parallel with the "fixed" rail of the system
• Table Saw rigistration brackets - designed to allow for removing table saw for maintenance/tuning and then replace in EXACT location so rail parallism remains intact
• Massive crosscut capacity Easily handles long/wide stock with the sliding table + support surface
• Micro-adjust fence stop system - sliding adjustable measure scale allows me to use the KM Stop block to dial in precision zero for the measure scale at the EXACT blade cut line, enabling precision to the 1/32"
• Modular fence + accessories Everything is removable/reconfigurable depending on the job.
  • Satellite arm slides out for extra support for longer material
  • 45 degree ~7" miter support for quickies, satellite arm doubles as a clamp
  • Spring loaded microtune system with adjustment screw
  • Fence is removable and replaceable into exact location via registration cleat interface and fixed pivot bolt near kerf insert to allow for other sliding table configurations
  • Still refining the miter multiblock for tearout control, but the base system is locked in.
• Replaceable kerf zones Designed so I can swap out sections instead of rebuilding the whole sled when things get chewed up.
• T-track grid work surface Routed directly into the sled base for clamping anywhere. Way more useful than I expected
• Independent Leveling Sytems for all surface components - assembly table, router table, table saw, and the left/right side supports each can be independently leveled with jack screws to keep everything nice and coplanar on the top
• Modular/Swappable Surface Components - each individual surface component can be lifted off the table and replaced if I get a wild hair...
• Router Table and Assembly Track Table
• Fully Clampable On 3 Sides
• "Invert Joist" Base Design with Storage "Cubbies"

Still tweaking small things, but this is the first time it feels like a complete system instead of a geeky project. Sometime this year i'll be making a router sled using those rails...
