    Hello Guys, This is something I made to help me with building profile foam planes. Hope you all find it as helpful as I do. :D

    I designed it for fff. The material thickness is set to .22", my fff is a little smaller then .25". :roll:
    I also used a .0625 bit. So, tell me what you think! Attached files [​IMG] MiniProfileBuildTable.skp (7.7 MB)Â

    That is a really cool idea! Only problem (for me): I'd probably end up gluing the plane to the jig :fugly:

    scraighamilton, very cleaver.....i always used soup cans, but this looks way better to tack glue and get your square alignment. randy.
