Thanks so much for this guide! I made this for our school's sawstops and it works perfectly. I had to cut out some spacers from steel hose clamp straps in order to raise the mag jigs the extra 1/32nd of an inch or so above the plywood top surface so that they would sit flush with the bottom of the plywood base. I think you used some split lock washers as spacers. I didn't have any on hand that were thin enough. Anyway, thanks again!
That is a great method for attaching the Jessem jig to your tablesaw I plan on doing the same thing and making a set up so that I can use the very same Jessem jigs on my router table
That is awesome, I was doing the exact same thing this evening, getting late stopped for the night decided to check TH-cam for installing the guides and find you have already proved my concept idea. That is really cool. After using it for some time any changes? Improvements or regrets? Stay safe!
I am a newbie to woodworking. I am assembling your Jessem stick guides with the mag switches. I really love your plans. What size, and what type of counter sink bit did you use for the metal mag switches? Thanks
Newbie here: I’m guessing you’re limited to making narrow cuts because of the width of the wheels? Also, I understand they hold the material down but what exactly is the benefit? Thanks, Garry
Hi Garry, great question! The wheels pull the material tight to the fence in order to keep the cut straight as well as help to prevent kickback. These work great when I’m ripping down 4x8 sheets of 1/4” plywood into 5” strips for faux shiplap.
FYI - You set the spring tension for different stock thicknesses by loosening the arms and resting the outer body (left of the roller wheels) on top of the piece to be cut, then tighten the arms down. If you have the tension too high you'll wear out the soft ruuber wheels prematurely and risk lifting the fence out of position. It doesnt take much tension to hold the piece securely against the table and its the angle of the wheels that pulls the piece against the fence.
The aux fence is used for thin materials and the fence must be to the left of the blade. I don't use it, it can be put in the down position and not interfere with fence movement when to the right of the blade. This would free up the top for the Jessem TS Stock guides.
you're talking about spring pressure while adjust the knobs on top which have nothing to do with spring pressure. The manual does not talk about spring pressure or any way to adjust it, I think you just made this up and got confused with the knobs that lock down the arms angle and horizontal movement. Please add notes about your mistake
Thanks for an awesome suggestion. You convinced me to remount my guides.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
The mag switch to secure the arm assembly temporarily was pretty freaking brilliant.

I am very happy that this helped you! I’d love to see some pictures

That’s a great idea.
Thanks for the great video. Just what I was looking for. Wasn't thrilled with the thought of drilling holes directly into my fence.
Glad it came in handy!
Great idea I was going back and forth myself But after watching you I think I’m gonna go the same way you did thanks mate
Awesome! Glad I could help!!
Very nice. I think I will copy you, but of course I will tell all my friends that it was my idea😃
I think that’s pretty standard lol
Great idea! Excellent video!
Thank you and thank you!! Glad you got something from the video.
Perfect thank you
Very nice!
Thank you very much!
Nice job!!
Thank you very much!
I assume you have to have a ferrious metal in your fence? Are they all compatible with those magnets? Great idea.
As long as your fence is made using something like steel then the magnets will attach.

No changes so far. It’s been perfect. The only thing I would say would be getting a little stronger magnet.

I used a countersink that was comparable to the screws I used to make sure they sank into the mags enough.

Have you had any issues with the magjig 95’s holding down? Just debating on using the 95 or 150. Thanks for the video!
curious which one you went with...i am debating the same thing now.
Since your guide is now 3/4 inch higher than the fence top, can your jig still handle very thin stock?
Yes the arms adjust down far enough to handle the thin stock.
Which ratcheting driver is that? I don’t see it listed in your description- do you like it?
Im trying to use 3/4 inch ply but the mag switch sticks out the bottom about 1/32 ''. Did you have that issue?
You can try shimming it with some washers, but I did not have that issue.
what does the magswitch attach to? is there metal on top of the sawstop fence?
Yes the fence is metal so it secures tightly.
Jesus this is beautiful

Yes that’s exactly correct. Thanks for watching.
yea he got confused or just doesn't know
This is the way
What size screws did you use for the mag switches?
I used #8 1-inch wood screws. I did have to use a bit to clear some material on the mag switches so the screws sat flush.
Did you use the #8-1 inch for the rail as well? I got my setup used with no hardware for the rail. TIA
@@bcghost9501 yes I used the same screws. 👍🏻
Any idea if the TS Stock guide will work on a Delta 36-725T2? There's a small auxiliary fence that would have to be moved out of the way.
The aux fence is used for thin materials and the fence must be to the left of the blade. I don't use it, it can be put in the down position and not interfere with fence movement when to the right of the blade. This would free up the top for the Jessem TS Stock guides.
Did you end up getting the TS guide? I also have a 36-725T2 and was wondering if the TS Stock guides will fit.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
where do you get the mag switch from?
I bought mine directly from MagSwitch.
You should use push sticks even with the guides and Sawstop.
your amazon links are not working
Thanks for letting me know I appreciate it
Damn, unfortunately my fence is aluminium, I wished I could use that magnet switch

3 minutes and 15 secounds in and he uses a drill
No drill into your table saw fence.
@@TwoBitWoodworks yeah, I see what you mean, just finished.
