holes, then counter-sink each hole (down 3/8
inch) using a 3/4 inch drill bit.

screw into the recess 2 in the rear fence
housing – then slide each screw forward
to the locations shown.

▼ MAKING RIp FENCE AUXIlIARY FACING

When using dado or molding head acces-
sories, an auxiliary facing board should be
used. This will help prevent damage to the
aluminum fence. The facing should be made
of 3/4 inch thick wood – Figure 43 shows di-
mensional plans to make a facing board to fit
this saw.
parts Required:
- 3/4" thick wood board (solid or ply-
wood) cut to size
- Three (3) 1/4 x 20 x 3/4" long hex. head
machine screws
- Three (3) 1/4" Washers
- Three (3) 1/4 x 20 machine nuts
The facing is made to the same height (2-
3/4") as the fence and can work with the
blade guard system in place when moving the
fence to contact the blade. The taller facing
design (4-1/4") is optional and can be used
for clamping on other accessories. Cut the
board to the size shown, drill through 9/32"
holes, then counter-sink each hole (down 3/8
inch) using a 3/4 inch drill bit.
