SCMS Fence
 

Well, I finally got around to putting a fence on the SCMS bench. I am quite
happy with it, the accuracy is much better than what I had previously.

Pics are on the web at

This weekend I'll make a sliding stop block to keep on the fence (freeing up
one more clamp!).

Comments welcome.

Hi Greg,
Thanks for the post. I picked up a few ideas that I will use when I rebuild my
current set up. A question, how did you get the saw to be at the same level as
the L/R tables? I currently use playing cards to shim mine but there must be a
better way. Is the saw bolted to the sub table? Cheers, JG

The tables were built to match the height of the SCMS bed. I knew I couldn't
get it "exact" so I used an old trick - I mounted the SCMS on small rubber
feet and used screws with rubber washers to bolt it down. That way I can
tighten or loosen the screws to get a slight raise or lower of the bed.

you could get the same effect by sitting the saw on some hard(ish) rubber
blocks.

Glad you got some value from it.

cheers,

Greg

Thanks for the old trick. JG
