Attach fence glides
Note: The fence glides included in
hardware pack B-08 are configured
for the Shopsmith model 520. To
convert the glide for the model 510,
see the bottom of this page.
Place one of the supplied ¾” x 3”
cardboard spacers under each end
of the fence as shown in
Fig. 16
and
attach the two fence glides to the rear
of the fence using (4) ¼-20 x ½” socket
head cap screws, ¼” washers and ¼-20
square nuts. Capture the nuts in the
lower T-slot on the fence.
See Fig. 17
.
Slide the glide onto the fence and
position it so that the UHMW pad on the
underside sits on top of the Shopsmith
rail and the white nylon spacer is about
1
/
32
” away from the outside of the rail.
Visually level the glide and tighten
the fasteners. Finally tighten the (2)
fasteners that secure the fence to the
fence mounting bracket. Take care not
to raise or lower the fence mounting
bracket as you tighten the screws.
Remove and save the cardboard
spacers.

Remove the fasteners and the large
diameter nylon spacers from each of
the two fence glides. Remove one
of the UHMW bearing strips from
each of the fence glides as shown.
Remove the UHMW from the left
side of one glide and the right side of
the other.
See Fig. 18.
Using ¼-20
x 1-½” Phillips head screws with
washers and ¼-20 lock nuts, attach
the 1” long nylon spacers to the glide
through the holes located near the
edge of the glide. Retain the large
diameter nylon spacers and fasteners
