Gary roofner replied to Joe Scharbrough's discussion 'Heip with Kreg jig and large panel issues'"Here is mine solution. The idea came from the wooden tool company. I have finished the top and added panel supports blocks it's foot activated and works well. It s on the bulky side"
Jay Boutwell replied to Joe Scharbrough's discussion 'Heip with Kreg jig and large panel issues'"Bob, Thank you for your opinion. My method impossible, well Kreg tools in not the only source of air cylinders and are not the only ones whom can mount one to their jig. Mine happened to be from Kreg tools however the…"
Bob Farmer replied to Joe Scharbrough's discussion 'Heip with Kreg jig and large panel issues'"Jay,
No one is saying your approach is bull----ing. I wasn't even talking about your post... but I will say now that you've compared the two that one is practical and the other is not. You solution looks great, but Kreg doesn't sell…"
Jay Boutwell replied to Joe Scharbrough's discussion 'Heip with Kreg jig and large panel issues'"Sir, are you telling me that for 20 years I have been dreaming when I posted my method telling members that I frequently bore large panels by standing them on top of my jig. Just to clear the air, I also own the same portable clamp…"

gdatomic replied to Joe Scharbrough's discussion 'Heip with Kreg jig and large panel issues'"I understand. In my case, I use a Festool rolling vac so it's quite portable. And with the vac attachment on the front, it continues to work in this case. But, my shop is set up a bit european because I don't have areas dedicated to…"
Joe Scharbrough replied to Joe Scharbrough's discussion 'Heip with Kreg jig and large panel issues'"That is a low cost work around but I have mine set up with a vac attachment so I have to move that also . Today I looked at the competitions jig, the PC one, and it is about $90 more than the kreg but it look like they have it all figured out. Large…"
gdatomic replied to Joe Scharbrough's discussion 'Heip with Kreg jig and large panel issues'"There's a pretty sweet work around that doesn't require much.
Basically, I lay the panel on the work top, then walk around it wildcatting the jig ONTO the panel rather than the other way around. For me, it works great - fast, not having…"
Joe Scharbrough replied to Joe Scharbrough's discussion 'Heip with Kreg jig and large panel issues'"Jay, That is exactly what I need. Now all I need to do is find a clamp like that."
Jay Boutwell replied to Joe Scharbrough's discussion 'Heip with Kreg jig and large panel issues'"Joe, about 20 years ago I was faced with the same problem you are facing on the large panel clamping on the jig. I solved my issue by converting the clamp to a foot activated air clamp which was a clamp sold by Kreg at the time and used…"
