Precise fence adjustments are<br />
a sure bet when I clamp this<br />
shopmade device on my router<br />
table. I simply drilled and tapped<br />
a hole for a I/4"-20 machine<br />

that contacts the fence with a cap<br />
nut. My "hi-tech" adjustment<br />

mechanism consists of two square<br />
nuts squeezed tight together. I've<br />
blackened them with a permanent<br />
marker and painted on white dots to<br />
clearly identifr each of the 4 sides. I<br />
also added a third square nut, so I can<br />
lock the device for repetitive cuts.<br />
With the l/4"-20 screw I used, one<br />
full turn of the nuts corresponds to a<br />
travel of .05-in. If you prefer working<br />
with fractions, switch to a 3/8"-76<br />
screw. Then, one full turn moves the<br />
tip 1/1Gin. A half turn moves it 1/32in.<br />
and a quarter turn moves it l/64"<br />
in. You can even make one-eighth<br />
turn adjustments. Simply position the<br />
nuts on edge, as in the photo.<br />

Sp*y Gun CleaningJug<br />
\{hen I clean my H\|LP spray gun, this<br />
shopmade container captures the liquid<br />
solvent and fumes. When the gun is<br />
clean. I simply pour the wasre into a<br />
storage container for disposal.<br />
Drill a 3-in. hole in the back of a paint thinnerjug.<br />
Cut a &in. circle from an activated carbon filter<br />
pad (available at pet shops with aquarium products)<br />
and place it in a }in. ventilation louver<br />
(from the home center). Insert the louver<br />
into the hole in thejug, making sure the fins<br />
face down. The activated carbon captures<br />
fumes while allowing the pressurized air to<br />
escape. Finally, drill a hole in the jug's cap,<br />
slightly larger than your gun's air cap but<br />
smaller than is sleeve nut. This way the rip of<br />
the gun forms a tight seal when pressed<br />
against thejug's cap. I used al-l/4<br />
b-.<br />

To clean your gun, simply<br />
hold the jug in one hand and press the<br />
spray gun's tip into the cap'<br />
