Installing the Fence Rails

1. 

Locate the front rail, the rear rail, and the T-Glide rails hardware pack (see 

Fig. 1). All of the hardware needed to install the rails is located on the T-Glide 

rails hardware pack and is shipped in the T-Glide fence box. In order to 

easily identify the hardware used in each of the following steps, the different 

pieces of hardware are numbered on the hardware pack and in the figures. If 

you are missing the T-Glide rails hardware pack, the T-Glide table hardware 

pack, or any of the other fence system components shown on page 1, call 

the SawStop Service Department at 503-582-9934.

 

You will also need the following tools to complete the fence assembly:

 

• a 13 mm wrench

 

• two 17 mm wrenches (or adjustable wrenches)

 

• a 5 mm hex key

 

• a Phillips head screwdriver

 

• a level or straight-edge

Fig. 1

 2. 

Align the front rail (the larger of the two rails) with the front edge of the table top so the cut-outs at the top 

of the rail are centered on the miter gauge slots in the table and so the holes in the rail align with the holes 

along the front edge of the table and extension wings. Remove six M8 x 25 countersunk socket head bolts 

from the T-Glide rails hardware pack and insert one through each of the holes in the rail and into the table 

and extension wings

 (see Fig. 

2).

Note:

 

Your contractor saw must be fully assembled before installing the fence system.

Note:

 

These drawings below show how to assemble both the 52” and 36” fence systems, although the 

components shown are from the 52” fence system. The components from the 36” system are similar.
