Zero-Clearance.Fence
A shop-made zero-clearance fence (see
Figure.51
)
provides more support than a standard fence and reduces
tearout on narrow or fragile stock. Using a zero-clearance
fence is the best way to reduce the risk associated with
shaping inherently dangerous small stock.
To.make.a.zero-clearance.fence,.do.these.steps:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Remove fence faces and fasteners from fence
carriage assembly.
3.
Place a 1" x 4" board over fence mounts, and mark
and drill four holes for securing board to mounts.
Note:.
Drilling holes is a two-step process. First, drill
holes through board with a diameter a little larger
than mounting screw shaft. Second, drill holes
halfway through board face with a diameter a little
larger than the screw head. Drill these second holes
deep enough to keep screw heads recessed below
board face.
4.
Trace an outline of spindle, cutter, and related
components onto board, leaving room for moving
parts so they will not hit fence board.
5.
Use a bandsaw, scroll saw, or jig saw to cut out
outline.
6.
If necessary, cut out notches along top of fence
board for attaching additional hold-downs (not
included).
7.
Make sure fence mounts are aligned, and secure
board to fence mounts with fasteners removed in
Step.2
.
Note:.
For a totally flat fence face, pass mounted
board across a jointer, taking care not to cut deep
enough that the cutter hits the mounting screws.
