Yep, I'm another botter trying to get the best of both worlds. I've been using a t-slot/cam setup for holding 2" thick solid ash, and I like it for that purpose. It's not meant for sheet woods, and after finally figuring out that the air goes *through* the trupan in a vacuum table (thanks, camp shopbot) it's time to figure out a hybrid table setup. Before I start inventing things needlessly, does anyone out there have a hybrid table like this? If so, can I get a little recomendation on how to configure it so it is as easy to use as it can be? There's nothing like a little experience to show us the right path.

Brian..
David B. has a great article on just that in his column. http://www.shopbottools.com/notes_from_the_sandbox.htm
My table is a variation of David's and I am happy with the way it turned out.
