The large, solid fence system with fully adjustable 4” tall by 16” long left and right face
halves gives you the stability and control for precision work. The fence faces are
infinitely adjustable left and right on their mounts and each secured with a single finger-
operated knob. Both extruded
aluminum faces have grooves
in them that make attaching
wooden faces or specialty
shop-made jigs easy and
secure. A pair of
featherboards is included that
also fit in the fence slots.
The left (operators view)
fence half has a micro
adjuster (front to back) for setting up ultra precise jointing operations. A gauge at its
adjusting knob helps set the precise amount of offset desired for your jointing operation.
All fence Controls are tool-free (left) including the jointing adjuster (right)
that lets you offset the faces precisely for accurate jointing operations.
At the center of the fence system is a heavy duty, cast iron housing that contributes to the
remarkable stability of this system. At the rear of that housing is a 4” diameter dust
collection port. Tabs within the port help break up the large clusters of debris shaper
cutters are capable of generating. When connected to a dust collector (400CFM minimum
capacity) the dust system helps keep the work area clear and
the bits cutting freely.
A pair of full-featured
featherboards is included to
enhance safety and cut quality.
The center of the fence housing is covered with fully
adjustable safety shields that helps keep you safer while
enhancing chip collection regardless of the cutter shape or
diameter. The forward shield is clear to afford the best view
of the cutter and wood while making cuts. The entire fence
system is tool-free including the top and forward guard
settings. Easy to use finger-operated knobs allow positioning
and configuring the fence quickly without having to find
wrenches.
