Thanks for the reply and I think I'll just go up to the shop and cut one. It is so frustrating to have to stop and remeasure while cutting, so the jig is a great helper

Hello Max I can find any pix s AT this min. but I can explain what it is, and how to use it. I made a spindle with steps in it. each cut was measured and marked, when I put this jig in between centers, I could lower the router bit down to touch this jig. and then set my stops on my Legacy, Since this jig was set between centers on my machine, what ever depth I set the router too, would be My known measurement. The Legacy CNC uses a touch pad to do the same thing, a known placement on the machine to set your 0 (a place to start all measurements from) Brian Gumble made his jig out of plywood, it looked like a stair/steps, he sat it on the rails to get his measurement. My jig was set in between the centers (I mainly do spindle work) but it works the same way. Think of it like using a router block on your router table.or a 1.2.3 block in the machine shop. by using a known measurement you can find any other measurement you need. I will see if I can find a photo, or I will go out a take a new one for you latter. Until then I hope this helps? Have a good day. talk to you more latter.

Well, I've looked almost everywhere for a picture of your jig. I know I've seen it somewhere. Could you post it or reference it?

The Spindle started out as a 4x4 oak short. (scrap) what I did was to make steps (and marked them whit the dia.of each step) I made all the common dia. sizes down to 1 ". Now when I need to have a "lets say" 1 1/4" dia. on a work peice. all I need to do is put this jig between centers,set the depth gauge on my router Now I know exactly where the correct death is, all I need to do now is nibble down to that death. NO MORE measuring to find the correct dia. I need! Its a real time saver. Brian Gumble made a jig that dose the same thing on his web site. Although He made his somewhat differently. http://www.enter.net/~ultradad/legacyjig.html check it out. See YOU all Latter.
