Re: Shaper with CopeCrafter and outboard fence and pressure jaws to make panels

Joel,
Weaver makes a similar jig.?
James
It seems that CopeCrafter may be out of business.? They were made by Reliable Cutting Tools in Texas, and I can't reach them by phone or email and I can't find one new or used from any other source. ?
It seems to me that compared to a Aigner CounterMax and other jigs used for cope cuts, the CopeCrafter with the pneumatic clamp and airsled is a superior product.? I think it is unfortunate that I seem to be unable to buy one. ?
For cope cuts, I will be using the slider table and I will upgrade my clamps from Mac to have the horizontal and vertical clamp like David Zaret shows on his videos, but I think it would have been nice to have the CopeCrafter for times when I did not want to move that heavy slider to the shaper, bolt it down and square it etc.
