One more try. Put a board...like a 2x4 in between the fence and the

Go to the front of the outfeed table and push back towards the infeed
table. The guard should bind the work piece against the fence. Should.
It is the whole point of the porkchop shape.


Did it, the first time I replied, and it doesn't hold a bit.

With all do respect (because from your posts you obviously know your
stuff) I think the porkchop is the shape it is so that it will move out
of the way, in the same manner and with the same effort, not matter how
narrow or wide the board is, that is being pushed into it.
