I bought an unused Rockler router table fence at a garage sale for $6!
That is the small gloat.

I will be using it on a table I am making for my table saw wing. That
will require cutting the 36" fence down to 27". This is the small
problem.

I have some dubious carbide table saw blades I picked up for almost
nothing at other garage sales. If I stick one in my table saw, will it
cut the Rockler aluminum extrusion without damaging me, the extrusion,
or the saw? (I don't care about the blades...) Sure, I can use my
sawzall, but it will look like I used my sawzall.

I made a 27" fence out of my 28" aluminum Incra miter gauge by cutting it
with my good Forrest Woodworker II. A nice clean cut and it didn't hurt
the blade at all.


Great, I was hoping someone else had tried it...


Note that I didn't say that I made the 27" fence on purpose though.

Oh, I missed that... But isn't it great that others can benefit from your
error?
I have a friend who published an article on what didn't work to save a
patient he injected with 100X the proper dosage of a medicine. Same idea.
