<p>I don't have a side view. I will try this weekend to take a picture. I don't have my shop set backup yet. I lost my house in the Lee flood in September. Since then we bought a new mobile home we do have a carport with a shed in the back and I bought another shed for additional storage. I won't do to much until spring no heat in the shed.</p>

<p>Maybe I can get some heat in the summer. My first project will be to put a deck on the front of the mobile. I did not loss to much in the flood. Just a router and an old bandsaw which had just got. We didn't have insured to cover our losses. So stripped the drywall and sold to contracter to rebuild for rental property.

<p>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 second jig I modified was a cylinder from a different source. This was my answer to a posted question of someone whom inquired of methods to solve their problem. This was mine. </p>

<p>As far as talking about my post, what am I supposed to think. If you read my post you will see where I explained that I frequently bore large panels and that I had recently bored some large panels one of which was just shy of a full 4x8 sheet. When I read your post reading the statement about putting a 4x8 sheet on your jig and balancing it accurately " just ain't going to happen" appears to be in a direct conflict as to what I had just posted.</p>
<p>As I told you there is nothing wrong with your method, it is good solution and might be for some woodworkers but not for all. I choose my method because it is fast and accurate and makes my jig a "do it all" for my panel and stock boring tasks. This a benifit to thoes in small shops whom might not have room to lay down a full sheet of ply or a large panel in order to bore it. I'm not trying to push it on anyone as like I said everyone whom has posted about their method have good sound methods. Therefore It is not my intention to be argumentative or become involved in a beef with anyone. <br/> <br/> <cite>Bob Farmer said:</cite></p>

<p>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 thos e components anymore do they? The portable base was made for exactly this purpose, it comes free tih the big kit, and it only costs $30 if you don't have one. seems like a simple fast solution for most people, while yours is impossible for most since they can't find those parts.</p>

<p>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 on boring jig you have pictured however my method is still my choice I use and find it faster and perhaps more accurate to do that with the portable clamp on method.

<p>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 on boring jig you have pictured however my method is still my choice I use and find it faster and perhaps more accurate to do that with the portable clamp on method. The jig set up has an pneumatic cylinder that is more that strong enough to hold the full sheet and allow me to bore the the hole and then advance the sheet for another hole. I find it simple and easily done. The gentleman whom started this post was asking if anyone had found a fix or method to his problem. This is my method to the fix. There is nothing wrong with your method or anyone's posted method that I have seen however when you make a statement " Imagine trying to put a full sheet of 4' wide plywood on top of your jig (even a K3) and holding it successfully. Ain't going to happen." makes me appear that I am bull s------ or dreaming that I am doing this. <br/> <br/> <cite>Bob Farmer said:</cite></p>
