Default Guide rails for fence


"jack" m wrote in message
...
I am looking for the longer guide rails for my original fence. My rails
are
36", but that doesn't allow full use of the cast iron wings. I am looking
for
42" or longer. does anyone know where I can find rails. Grizzly no
longer
stocks.

Are the existing rails tubular or rectangular? If tubular, good luck in
finding any, I couldn't a few years ago. Eventually, I made a new fence
using a rectangular rail; however, before that I extended the tubular ones
with wood....

1. turn wood to outside tube diameter

2. turn 6" or so of #1 to tube inside diameter

3. cut a flat on the inside diameter; I faced my flats with pieces of 1/8"
steel

4 drill and tap a hole in the metal tube 3" or so from end

5. insert into existing metal tubes

6. secure wooden extensions with a thumb screw.
