Table Saw Fence Micro Adjuster

Very clever. I like that it is both a push and pull adjuster. Most of the other shop made ones I’ve seen only do the push.

I like this a lot. I didn’t know I needed one, but I really do.
Great idea to make it threaded into the fence. It seems a lot more secure, and like you mentioned, it moves the fence in and out.

Cool,
Steve

Beyond clever. A super table saw feature. I have the ability to microadjust on a miniature table saw..but not on my contractor’s. Thanks for sharing this.

Sweet micro adjuster Martyn. I really like that it moves the fence away as well. Very clever indeed…

I’m going to try and adapt this idea. I have a Beismeyer knock off T square fence. I especially like the screw heads indicating Plus and Minus. Nice touch!

I’m sure you’ll be successful, Tom. I’d be interested to see what you come up with.

Hey, that’s a pretty nifty design. It looks similar in some ways to the official store-bought push-pull adjuster on my old Inca saw.

One question: I can’t figure out the purpose of the small block attached to the top with two screws. What’s that for?

Another micro adjuster? Does this mean it’s not ok to be off a few millimeters? If you think accuracy is important then this is yet another smart way to ensure it. Nicely done Martyn.

Russ., it extends the reference line out to the edge of the large adjustment wheel, for accuracy. There’s the width of a nut and a washer in between the body of the adjuster and the wheel.
In addition it also holds the fence movement indication screws + and - (cross head and slotted). An aide memoire for an ageing woodworker like me.

Incra steal all my best ideas, lol.

Speaking of Incra I have the TSLS32 and micro adjustment is inbuilt… down to 1/1000 ths of an Inch….now that is accurate …
This is a great gadget all the same…

Good show Martyn. This could work on my router fence with a little tweaking.
