Using the appropriate diagram for your model of saw and rails below, place 4 pan head phillips screws, lock
washers and nuts to assemble the rear rail to the back of the saw. But don’t tighten the nuts yet.
FOR MODELS 50-175 & 50-185
Here, the bolt holes in the T-28 (top) and T-52 rear fence rails are shown in relation to the corresponding holes in our
General International model 50-175 or 50-185 table saws. Remember that if you are using General T-fence rails with
another manufacturer’s saw, you may have to drill custom holes in your saw to fit.
Place the supplied L-jig, as shown at far right , on top
of the table. Adjust the rail height until the bottom of the
jig is flush with the rail shelf. Hold the nuts firm with a 7/16”
wrench and tighten the two screws on left and right ends
of the rail. Tighten the center screws only after double-
checking rail height using the L-jig all along the rail and
at both ends.
Assemble the guide tube,
, to the front fence rail by
fastening 4 of the 5 hex head bolts,
, to the underside
of the rail. For now, omit the first bolt,
, on the far left of
the rail because this is where you will attach the saw’s
On/Off switch (see your saw manual).
Note: when the tube is attached, there will be a gap of
about 1 inch between it and the rail,
, in which part of
the fence will ride.
Note: If You are installing our General T-Fence system on another manufacturer’s saw, you may be able to
fasten all 5 of the hex head bolts, unless their On/Off switch is to be attached to the front rail in the same
location as ours.
