I have worked up a Fusion 360 file for a skirt support system. It will accommodate fine adjustment for full 4’x8’ cutting regardless of the thickness. You can flip the design for the opposite side and for the bottom. Feedback is welcome as I’m a newbie, ![Version%201%20v2](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/maslowcnc/original/2X/7/783b8552ca6e5a3fd3b8e95bc5f096ad9a184388.jpeg) ---

This is some very good thinking, I like it! Thanks for sharing it. I wonder if this could be combined with the offset sides/camera lens style others have done, so both depth of material (as you’ve drawn here) as well as length and width of material can be adjusted for. -Jeff ---

Ahh, I get what you’re saying. This design has accommodation for a 12" width and a 12" height differential. ---

Hmm, I can’t seem to find the example someone posted on here. They used some threaded rods, IIRC, and referred to it in the style of a camera lens iris or something. Instead, I’ll use this Woodpeckers jig as an example of what I was saying: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Viusc8JDhA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Viusc8JDhA) If you combine that for length and width with your idea for depth adjustability, you could accomodate various workpieces (depending on your frame having a solid backboard or appropriate supports). Just an idea… -Jeff ---

I made my frame smaller (4x4) so it didn’t take up the full size all the time. It can, however, still cut a full sheet when and if I wanted to. It’s still a full build minus the huge cutting area. I also made it hinge on the wall (don’t have a lot of space). Noise was also a concern so I made a vacuum silencer for my dust collection. Very little noise and no dust. Pictures of this are below.

Nice, similar to what Brian Hussey did on Facebook, except he didn’t provide any drawings. I think he made the bottom support adjustable as well, but he didn’t show any pictures. > **[Brian Hussey](https://m.facebook.com/groups/327408714328768?view=permalink&id=782886392114329)** > > My Son and I made an adjustable skirt for the Maslow today.

After seeing the thread you’re referring to, I have a bunch of new ideas to attempt to incorporate. I’ll see what I can come up with. That adjustable design is ingenious.
