Anyone know where I might source the black pin that moves. To set template against? Anyone have. picture? LMI Power Fret slotting system. Can't seem to find the pin.

I just made some templates for a builder that uses this. If it helps…courtesy of the wayback machine (quite possibly the most useful tool on the web):

Here are the templates I made for another OLF member.

Btw - if you’re patient, the YouTube videos linked from the product page will open in the wayback machine archive for the LMI YouTube channel.

I cannot understand why the YouTube channel appears to have been disabled. Kind of a kick in the junk to past customers really.

The only critical dimension of the pin is the major diameter which needs to snugly fit the bushing in your table saw miter gauge. The end of the pin is tapered so that it will center the template as the pin is pushed into the slot or hole.
