Does anyone out there use this fence productively? Have I completely
missed the point of it?


I've got the 1000 (no SE) and love it. Aside from not being able
to use the measuring tape, and the length of the fence (which you
can by longer ones of), does it work OK? Mine does. I just don't
expect the measuring thing to work.

Yes, the protracter part works very well. Its the SE fence with 'flip
stop' that I can't figure out how to use accurately and effectively.
Seems you have to adjust the bolts too.


My complaints:

1. Fence is slippery. Solution: Added particleboard subfence with
adhesive sandpaper.
2. Need hex driver to adjust frequently. Solution: Suffer for now,
by lever knobs someday.

Otherwise happy.
