Lucky,
I like your jig and it¡¯s exactly how I would go at this workflow. ?I did something similar with my K975 by adding a plywood vertical support that attached to the crosscut fence extrusion with screws into T-nuts along the face of the extrusion. ?But since the digital fence extrusion does not have T-slots along its face, what you¡¯ve come up with is the only practical way of creating a tall crosscut fence face. ?I love it. ?Mac¡¯s horizontal clamp would certainly lower the setup time for each cut. ?I¡¯d be interested in knowing the specs on your Leitz 400mm blade - tooth count and grind in particular.
Are you referring to the MortiseBoy jig from Aigner, or something else? ?If so, I don¡¯t see the MortiseBoy being suitable for your application. ?

I should have asked with my previous posts: Does anyone have the Aigner version of this jig? Retail price, only $1,299USD.

I love this jig, excellent idea and also looks very safe! Im waiting for my dado stack exactly for this purpose however I don't think there would be any other options other then your approach with this jig.?

I¡¯m about to embark on large ¡°half lap joints¡± style of joinery for a series of bookcases in Zebrano and Walnut (and Copper), and am using a Leitz 400mm blade. I think the best way to do this is to make 125mm deep cuts while the material is on edge. I am
open to making the cuts with the material flat on the slider, stopping the cut, backing out, and then cleaning up the joints by hand. However, I have something like 280 trenches to do, so that¡¯s a minimum of 560 cuts (one per shoulder) and more hand work to
square the bottom of the trenches. I¡¯ve made these kinds of joints before with a router and jig and I can tell you that programming the Kappa 400 rip fence with presets is wickedly faster and far more accurate.
Of course I¡¯d love feedback for those who can see a better way. Appreciated in advance ?
The other reason for my post is to share my little ¡°90 degree support jig¡± which is held in place using one of Mac¡¯s clamps. This setup provides excellent registration for the material which is 2200mm x 250mm x 30mm in size.
Note the high-tech blue tape to dial in the jig for square. Woo hoo.?
