A jig apparatus for aiding in the formation of a variety of mechanically interconnecting structures in workpieces. The jig apparatus may include a base and a template mounting system for adjustably positioning a template with respect to the base. A securing system for securing a workpiece in a desired position may be included. An adjustable workpiece mounting fence may also be included for varying the angular orientation of a workpiece to be shaped with respect to a template. Additionally, a collar guide system for a router for utilization with a template may be implemented with a hand held router being implemented for removing material from a workpiece. A router bit positioning system for aiding in establishing a pre-determined bit depth may be included.

A quick-pin blade tensioning device for a band saw comprises a sliding tension bracket coupled with an upper arm of the band saw. The sliding tension bracket engages an upper band wheel which has a band saw blade coupled to it. A lifting shoe, slidably disposed within the upper arm, imparts movement to the sliding tension bracket. A pin moves the lifting shoe through rotational movement of the pin imparted by a coupling with a tension crank. The tension crank, disposed within the upper arm, has rotational movement imparted to it through a coupling with a tension handle enabled with multiple positions.

An improved table having improvements related to stock support, such as a rip fence stock support, as well as a lateral-table support system; features of laterally-slideable front and back rip fence guide rails, including an improved front rail configuration, an improved rear rail configuration, and an especially-configured front and back rail combination, including a rail configuration having cross-sectional aspects configured for use as both the front and rear rail, each instance of improved rail configuration providing the basis for an improved rip-fence locking system; improved sliding-rail lock shoes, including lock shoes that comprise an improved cross section for sliding in T-track, as well as lock and support shoes having a particular raised rib, also for improved sliding in a laterally-adjustable rail system, and a system wherein of one two rail shoes per rail, a rail-locking support shoe, is configured for biasing, and wherein the other shoe for each rail, a rail supporting shoe, remains fixed; front and back laterally-sliding fence rails coupled together in combination with an improved locking system; and a blade guard with quick-coupling and quick-release configuration for quickly and easily coupling and releasing the guard to and from the blade arbor.
