  1. Mark,

     

    Just looked at the picture of your "Jim" saw in your reply to Thistle.  How did you attach the high piece of aluminum to your fence?  I purchased an extra fence to add a sacrificial wooden fence to give me more height as well as protection to my fence if I get to close.  I have always done this on my big Saw Stop to prevent fence damage but there are a lot of other means to handle this on a full size saw.  

     

    I thought about using screws and just tapping threads in the fence but I can't seem to get up my nerve to mess up a brand new fence and thought maybe you had figured another way to accomplish this.  Your thoughts on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

     

    Thanks,

      I don't have a Jim saw but a MicroMark.  The aluminum is just clamped to the fence.   Some (Grant Dale) did do that with tapped holes and screws in the fence.  Works well.

      Thanks, will probably do that, I find that at my age now, I have to research and think everything through before getting the drill out.  It is detrimental and counter productive sometimes but I have made too many mistakes before.  Thanks for the reply.
