What you see is what I have come up with to do extra long boards like this one.
A client asked me if I could make a 78inch sign on my longmill and after some fooling around I came up with this tiling jig that suits my situation. Unlike most setups, my machine bed is not my spoil board. It’s filled with (millions of) inserts for clamping, and the machine is bolted right onto the same slab. Instead I use jigs that fit a project or project kind. The jigs get surfaced and after that it doesn’t matter anymore the bed isn’t all that smooth.
I actually did a topic on the tiling jig a while ago because I was rather proud I figured it out to work on my wonky setup.
The nice things about jigs is that you can custumize a small area of your bed and just surface that space (Or in case of pine strips, just the strips.) I always include fence pockets to accomodate a pine strip to work as a quickly removable fence.
It’s not fancy but it keeps my inserts (and my bits) a whole lot more not broken.
