INSTALL THE FLIP STOP

Slide the T-Bolt on the flip stop into the T-Slot in the top of the 
front fence, tighten the knob. The arm on the flip stop functions 
as an easily adjustable stop and can be flipped up when 
not needed.

Flip Stop

The 3" fence flip stop is extremely versatile and quickly converts 
from inboard to outboard position for a variety of applications. 
In addition, the flip arm can be moved from right to left to match 
your feed direction requirements. 
•  Slide the T-Bolt on the bottom of the flip stop into the T-Slot on 

the top of the front fence. See Figure 14.

•  In the inboard position, the stop works with the T-Track fence 

and functions as an easily adjustable stop.

•  In the outboard position, the body rotates and the flip arm 

moves out. In this position the stop can work with the T-Track 
fence and a 3/4" sacrificial wood board. 

To Convert from Inboard to Outboard Position

Remove the knob and T-Bolt and rotate the stop body 180°. 
Replace the knob and T-bolt. See Figure 15.
