WORK STOP

 

The work stop is used to set a consistent cut length from 0 to 34 inches. The photo shows the stop at a short length, which 

is adjusted with one or both of the locking handles. The bar with the actual stop attached to it can be removed, turned 80 

degrees end for end, and inserted for longer lengths. The work stop may also be swung out of the work area when it is not 

required.
