Hey kind people.
I resently got a hold of a Wadkin ags 10 table saw from the 70's, which is pretty similar to the unisaw from the same period. This saw then, should last many years when i get it fixed.
One of my problems is, that there is no fence at all. I figured i would buy one, but as it turns out, it's impossible to buy after marked table saw rip fences anywhere in europe, let alone Sweden, where i live.
I would really love to have a T-square type fence like the Biesemeyer, but policy prohibits the companys from selling their fences here - guess something to do with safety standards no being compatible.
Anyway - i own a mig welder, so i've set out to make my own, and found a couple of good instructions on how to do so. I've bought the metal and some uhmw.
But i would really like to see the underside of the clamping mechanism on the Biesemeyer. How the slick pads are mounted, so that they can be adkusted, what material the piece the protect the guide tube from the clamping cam is made of etc.
Would one of you kind folks please post a picture of the underside of the clamping part of your Biesemeyer style fence.
