Project Information
Got tired of playing pat-a-cake with wooden fences. Each time I put a crew in, even when clamped to death it moved the fence by +- 0.002
The best I could do was 0.005 on 5 cut test along 80-90 inches. Which is extremely good with most normal people but not if you have OCD tendency then…... So, here it is the improved version calibrated to 0.000 along 80-90 inches. Oh yes, you can use a dial indicator and digital caliper to get that accurate.
I do realize that this kind of accuracy is not necessary in woodworking but I just had to be able to do it. So this was a good learning experience for a much bigger sled.
I still have to add a handrail and a stop screw to the back. I don't like holding the fence when pushing the sled not after going trough all this to calibrate the fence.
Thanks for looking.
