Gday
I've read a few times about the method used to make straightedges in the workshop using threee workpieces & continually checking/filing/swapping/adjusting them against each other to get a reference straight edge.
For woodworking the following idea is a much simpler version of the same I reckon., as shown for checking jointer tables, router fence, whatever.
Should you see a need you could put more screws in than just the three.
It's a fairly large attachment so as to make the concept clear.
It's out of "The New Best of FineWoodworking - Workshop Machines". Fairly new release at our local library, & a good read.
