Table Saw Roller Hold-Down

This project involves creating a roller hold-down tool specifically designed for cutting small or thin parts. The hold-down comprises two primary assemblies. The first assembly consists of a slotted runner and a stop block that rests within the miter gauge slot. This assembly is connected to an adjustable arm via a bolt, washer, and wing nut. The bolt head is positioned within a tapered recess in the runner. As the wing nut is tightened, it pulls the head into the runner. The slot cut in the runner allows it to expand within the miter gauge slot, effectively clamping it in place. The stop block is specifically designed to fit the T miter gauge slot of a DeWalt DWE7491RS table saw. The adjustable arm features two wheels mounted on one end, which engage with the workpiece and secure it against the fence. Please note that this hold-down does not provide kickback protection like a feather-board! In addition to the printed components, you will also require three 1/4x1-1/4” washers, two 1/4x
