Finally got the fence and was able to model it out last night. I wish I had the opportunity to do this earlier, or at least have this model before I cut the hole in my router table top for the router plate as based on this fence I would have liked to put it 2.5” more to the front. but. 2.5” is not that critical, and I could move the fence backwards if needed.

hope this can help someone else:

this is not a production model, but just a model to help visualize and design a router table as the sizes can help design a top to house this etc.

Peace

I upgrades to the LS positioner when they first came out. They offered a deal to change from the older version.

So I’m thinking of building a router table and use all of my parts to put another one together.

I must say – the videos online don’t do this fence justice. the base is juts MASSIVE. it really does look like it’s designed for fine woodworking. everything is BIG and convenient to use, however, the movements are so fine that it’s remarkable. I felt like this order was a luxury (and it is for me) but after getting introduced to this fence system, I just couldn’t see myself getting anything else. I have been waiting for a long long time for this. the wait was worth it.

Karson – so you still have the older TSIII positioner? so you would only need a cross fence to have a complete system right? that would be a nice addition.

Thanks Dave, If there’s something I don’t like is a heavy model that starts to lag when you’re trying to orbit around your design. so I try to keep things light. I even dropped some details which I felt are unnecessary for the purpose of this model.

nice to see you around.

Thanks Sharon – I’m always happy to add to my design library.

I’ll look at it later tonight.
