Hmm.. interesting.. since the fence is replaceable.. that does lend it to
being somewhat flexible.
Now if only the cost for that aluminum extrusion was $35.. instead of
what? $150?
Don't know. Mine was cosmetic assembly line reject. Cost exactly
what we got for clean aluminum scrap by the pound.

So just how do you attach feather boards, spaceblocks, and sacrificial
faces to a Unifence?
I have a Unifence and thats the most exasperating thing about it. Its
got that damned curved backside that prevents you from clamping
anything to it.

I have to admit to having an extra fence where I have permantly
attached a wooden face that has cuts for a dado and molding
cutterhead. Slide the primary off and this one on.
I have a set of griptite magnetic featherboards and holdowns and have
installed the supplied steel plate to my primary fence, resetting the
face to the scale.
There is a flat on the extrusion that will take a block and provide a
good clamp surface. A little trouble but works fine.
