This is different hardware but still very easy to make. 1 large square u-bolt cut in half ($3.99), 2 washers, two 3/8 wing nuts, a little scrap wood. Its smaller and lighter than the first one I made (see pic #2) but it works quite well also. I saw someone else make this on the internet. I really would like to give them the proper credit, but now I can’t find it again. Thank You internet woodworker where ever you are.

I have been thinking of doing something like that myself and haven’t gotten roundtoit. Those roundtoits seem to be hard to find when there is no immediate need.
I’m headed to the shop right now to do it….if I don’t get distracted.

Great idea. I’ve seen something similar posted here a while ago and I looked at my local HD but they do not carry this type of u-bolt. Where did you get yours? Thanks.
edit: here is the project I made the reference to: http://lumberjocks.com/topics/14689

Radu I checked the link. Wow that’s neat to see that. I had no idea that was on the our Jocks site. It was posted long before I joined this great group. It looks close to what I saw on the internet. Good ideas shared and saving money is a win for us all.
I found my u-bolt at True Value. No luck at the big box stores.

Good Job
I saw a tip from woodsmith that was very close to this idea too. The easiest sacrificial fence I’ve seen is one made by William Ing he just built a box all the way around his fence and slipped it over the top when he wanted the sacrificial fence on. Simple and easy.

good idea. Looks like your fence is 3/4” (?) I think I’ll use a 1” fence to make the math easier on my rip tape-gauge.

Great idea.
I had these on my table saw until yesterday.
I have decided I don’t like them though. I took the time yesterday to make a sacrificial fence with recessed bolts that attached straight to the side of the alluminum extrusion.
Looks like mine will stay in a drawer until I find someone needing them or find an alternative use.
