Could you make a simple tool to convert 5/8 & 16mm fixture tools so that they are compatible with your 3/4 table system.
For example, maybe just make a sleeve with an Inside Diameter of 5/8, and an Outside Diameter of 3/4. Then you can slide that sleeve over the pin of your 5/8 fixture tool, and maybe secure it with a set screw, so that it now has the thickness to fit into the holes of your 3/4 table system.
I think that would help a lot of people who have already invested in a 5/8 or 16mm table system transition over to your 3/4 table system. Now they could continue to use the tools they already have once they install the sleeves to make them compatible with the 3/4 table system, and add more 3/4 fixture tools as needed.
Frank and I had a thread going on this.
See 3/4” - 5/8” hole table - #2 by whiteout
The reducers from Amazon work as is, and are the quickest solution.
The spacers from spacers online were too tight a fit to drop into the 3/4" holes, but with light sanding using a fine abrasive belt I was able to get the fit I wanted.
Thanks for the info, I’ll read up on it. Still, I hope there is enough demand out there for Jason and Fireball Tool to provide an “In House Solution”, rather than having to go hunting for a third party solution to this problem.
I would personally desire the fireball brand and team keeps developing high quality unique solutions for us that earn our living using them. These simple solutions are at the fingertips of all accessing the internet and though fireball can create very high quality parts it seems for 1 minutes time just putting in very little information cost effective solutions are present and readily available. I used the solutions fireball tool has created and springboard off them for my own needs I look forward to seeing more of there unique products available and if they can provide more efficient and economical options in addition i will be watching for it.
@Fireball_Jason I would like like some “stepped” shoulder bolts (3/4" top,5/8 bottom)…but if I could have some some steel “same thread” 5/8-11 shoulder bolts to use with the fence blocks instead of studs…that would be awesome…only ones I can find are SS…on the same note some 28mm to 3/4 shoulder bolts for other people’s tables too…even if they are lower quality imports that could help open up 3/4" system adoption
