The bottom of each rail is exactly 3/4" from the work surface and the rails are pre-drilled. The tool can be screwed to a work surface using these holes. Or, the tool can be clamped to a work surface using the rails, or one can screw 3/4 stock to the bottom of the rails and use the stock as a clamping surface. Regardless of the method, the tool does need to be firmly fastened to a work surface with one exception, it works quite well on a carpeted floor-as practical or unpractical as this may be. -John The Jointmaker Pro has two bottom rails.

I'm dreaming well in advance, but I was planning to clamp (or bolt?) mine to the top of a trusty B&D Workmate. I'm not sure if that is practical now that I've seen these pictures. Can you comment on how you expect the Jointmaker to be set up in the workshop?
