A Fair Idea Made Better
I had finagled this set-up to obtain a "taller" fence on the table saw.
While this did work, it left much to be desired, and today I took a few minutes to make a more permanent solution. It couldn't be simpler…
I quickly gave the same drawer fronts used in the temporary set-up a rough sanding, then marked approximately where I wanted bolts with chalk
I then bored out some shallows for the bolt heads[IMG alt="Drilling "Shallows" for bolt heads "]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2437/3930370320_5248654cfd_o.jpg[/IMG]
Then clamped up the two sides in preparation for drilling
All that was left was to put in some spacer blocks, which I screwed in from the back
And there you have it![IMG alt="New and improved "tall" fence"]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2586/3930370280_0bac3ce3a4_o.jpg[/IMG]
It's on there good and tight, is still able to be moved for width adjustment, and doesn't interfere with the fence clamp either! Simple!
