Self Aligning: The fence ALWAYS remains parallel to your table saw’s miter slot, even during movement. This, by far is the biggest advantage of our design. Many fence systems rely on them being clamped down in order to align with the miter slot. However, the unique sliders in our design keep the fence perfectly square at all times.
Built Using Sturdy Aluminum Extrusions: The fence extrusion is a 2″ x 2″ and is made from AA 6063-T6 aluminum alloy. It uses 80/20’s double anchor fasteners between the fence connection and the slider assembly which provide the strongest mechanical connection possible. The rail is a 2020 OpenBuilds V slot extrusion.
Smooth Movement: Our design uses highly precise, open source OpenBuilds V slot extrusions which have built in linear rails. Stainless steel wheel bearings provide smooth and consistent motion across these rails and also have adjustable tension using eccentric spacers. The bearings have dust caps which increases longevity.
Easy Installation: This system was designed with ease of installation in mind. No drilling mounting holes here! The front slider is designed such that existing mounting holes can be used while the height of the fence can easily be adjusted using the anchor fasteners.
Flexible Design: Due to the unique design, the front rail can be slid left or right. This allows for increase or decrease of the cutting capacity using the fence. This is beneficial in smaller workspaces where the physical footprint of the fence system can be reduced when needed.
Adjustability: The design of this system allows for easily adjustability all around! The rail screws on the front rail mounts allow adjustability of the fence to be parallel with the miter slot. The eccentric spacers on the sliders allow adjustment of the tension between the wheels and the rails. The rail supports and the vertical fence support can be cut/shortened to size as well.
Tape Measure Included: The fence system includes a tape measure rail (left to right with standard markings), a cursor/marker, and an adhesive backed tape measure.
Optional Accessories: The fence extrusion has 2 T-slots on all 4 sides which allows for endless opportunities for creating different jigs and accessories – anywhere from a simple stop block to a tennon jig.
Package Includes: This listing includes the front rail, fence extrusion, front sliding assembly and all hardware needed.
