ABSTRACT:
A universal machinery fence system includes an L-shaped fence or a box shaped fence and clamp block which clamps to a rail extrusion with a half dovetail on the front on the edge of a table saw, band saw, shaper, router table, mortiser, or other woodworking or metal working machines. A U-shaped front rail is provided for attaching the fence to the cast iron table of a table saw, shaper, or band saw. The band saw fence U-shaped rail is predrilled to fit the table fence mounting holes of the most popular 14″ band saws. Optional extruded front rails are also provided for attaching the fence to shop made 0.750″ tables such as used on a drill press. Also provided is a fence rail extrusion for mounting the fence on the front and back of the popular 1.125″ size router table. An optional extruded front rail which is adjustable in height is also provided for attaching the fence to shop made tables between 0.750″ and 1.5″ in thickness. A re-saw guide fitted to the fence extrusion has a convex surface for supporting a workpiece on edge allowing the operator to easily adjust for blade drift. An optional micro-adjuster allows the fence to move accurately in small increments. A router table with holes and slots allows the fence to be used to guide the workpiece in the router table mode and then be used to guide the router or a saw on top of the workpiece.
