At work we had an equipment chassis built up mostly out of 4080 extrusion. When we replaced the equipment I asked my boss if I could buy it and he said I could have it. I took it home and yesterday I finally got around to reconfiguring it. It is basically a long rectangular box on a frame with two lower support rails that will hold the slab and two upper rails that will provide a flat surface for the router sled to ride on.
I ended up with some spare parts, but essentially have it in the setup that I need. The only thing I need to do now is build out the router sled and figure out exactly how I want to adjust the workpiece.
Ideally I'd like to be able to load a slab onto the jig, level it, fix it in place and then run the router over it. I could do this by building something on top of the lower support rails, or by some sort of quick-adjust clamp for the lower rails themselves.
Anyone have experience with aluminum extrusion quick clamps, or any ideas for making the adjustment process easier than loosening T-track bolts, adjusting, and retightening?
