I pivoted the fence near the blade end then glued blocks at points a

Basically the way I make all my sleds.

I have my fence pivot near the blade.... BUT I then

rout a 3/8 " wide slot in the top of the base... and rout a 1/8 inch
deep 3/4 inch wide slot in the bottom of the base...(to hold a )

Then drill a 1/4 in hole in the far end of the fence ..away from the
blade...

This allows the fence to be Locked down and be solid anywhere along
that 1" in long slot...

..
The Block has a fine threaded carriage bolt to allow me to finely
adjust the fence. Then I just lock the fine threaded carriage bolt
again sat the back side of the fence and tighten the fence down ...

Extremely rare for me to have to re-adjust the sleds...But when I do
it is only a 2 minute job.....
