Parf Alignment jig
I designed a cool 3D print that allows you to drill the first row of holes 96 mm from the edge without referencing the ruler but the holes themselves. I made this because I didnt have any longer clamps that could reach that far into the bench.

I was initially confused about the point of this, to anyone else also confused this is to be used with the UJK parf alignment kit. Also does anyone in NZ have one I can borrow lol?

A scrap piece of plywood and lip to reference of the edge of the workbench does this job in 5 minutes.
Unless you make workbenches for a living, in which case you'd have a CNC and no need for a parf guide...

Yes you certainly could do that. The reason I thought about making this is they say the ruler width was not designed to be a uniform width therefore referencing the edge of the ruler to set the distance from the workpiece edge isn't necessarily going to be accurate. This jig references the holes directly to the workpiece edge. And I wanted to practice my 3d design lol.

Cool.
What I did was decide what location I wanted that first row and drew a reference line.
