ABSTRACT:
An adjustable fence assembly includes a planar fence secured with a handle having an arcuate body portion which is rotatably coupled through an arcuate trolley member with an arcuate body portion of a fence traveler. The fence is directly pivotally coupled along its lower edge to the traveler along an axis of rotation which lies generally along the lower surface of the traveler. The lower traveler surface is supported on an upper surface of a fence track, which can be adjustably mounted to the rear cover of a conventional jointer-planer. Each arcuate body portion is about 45.degree. or less in arcuate extent with respect to the pivot axis to permit the portions to collapse and the fence to be rotated from an upright position to at least a 45.degree. position away from the jointer-planer. The angular position of the fence is selectably adjustable through the use of a single threaded fastener. Lateral position of the fence with respect to the jointer-planer is selectably adjustable through a second adjustable fastener. An angular guide attached to the fence provides a direct readout of the angular position of the fence. The collapsible linkage further permits the fence traveler carrying the fence to be extended over the tables.
