Auxiliary woodworking component

An auxiliary woodworking component, comprising:

• a board having a first side and a second side and a peripheral side edge defining a shape of the board;
• at least one dovetail shaped first groove in the first side of the board and having an opening at the peripheral side edge of the board and the at least one first groove extends in a first direction;
• at least one dovetail shaped second groove in the first side of the board and having an opening at the peripheral side edge of the board and the at least one second groove extends in a second direction that is different than the first direction;
• and,
• wherein the at least one dovetail shaped first groove is trackless and the at least one dovetail shaped second groove is trackless,
• wherein a cross-sectional shape of each groove of the at least one dovetail shaped first groove and a cross-sectional shape of each groove of the at least one dovetail shaped second groove corresponds to a cross-sectional shape of a channel cut by router bit comprising a 0.5 inch diameter and a 14 degree taper.

A multi-purpose utility clamp in combination with an auxiliary woodworking component configured to be clamped to a woodworking apparatus, comprising:

• a component engagement member including a clamp head and a handle;
• a guide arm operatively connected to the component engagement member at a first end of the guide arm;
• a first post operatively connected to a second end of the guide arm to move linearly relative to the guide arm;
• a second post at an end of the support post and disposed generally perpendicular to the first post and having a first end connected to the first post and a second end, distal the first end, and the second end is disposed opposite the clamping head;
• wherein the second post has a cross-section trapezoid shape of a channel cut by a router bit comprising 0.5 inch diameter and a 14 degree taper along a length thereof between the first end and the second end, and the second post is configured to be inserted into a channel having a corresponding trapezoidal shape and formed in an auxiliary component to be clamped to another component;
• and,
• a board having a first side, a second side, and a peripheral side edge;
• at least one dovetail shape groove on the first side of the board configured to receive the second post of the clamp and the at least one dovetail shaped groove is trackless,
• wherein a cross-sectional shape of each groove of the at least one dovetail shape groove corresponds to a cross-sectional shape of a channel cut by router bit comprising a 0.5 inch diameter and a 14 degree taper.
