My new fence and rail system

[SwampDonkey]

The INCRA LS32-TS table saw fence and rail with micro-adjust positioner.

I just got it in yesterday via UPS and installed it this morning. Not that difficult actually. If I was to do it for a friend I could probably have it set up in an hour or hour and a half by the time the old rails are removed. My old rails were real easy to take off. No drilling required for the new rails as they mount with brackets allowing the rails to be adjusted to the left or right. ;D


Introducing.....



Now a test cut after everything is assembled and zeroed in. Cutting down a sample to 10" wide, follow the cursor, then clamp and cut.



Shaving off an inch, down to 9" width.



Dead on.



No more fool'n around with junk fences for me.

Have a good one. Now on to some serious wood working. That chair needs building.

Looks great 8) 8)  how do you set it for different saw blade widths  ??? ???

[SwampDonkey]

Simple, about 5 secs. Extend the fence up to the blade, lock it, zero it in on the micro adjust dial, and move the magnetic scale to zero. Unlock. Go to work. The positioner with scale can also be used on their router table setup with additional accessories. 8)

Looks like a amazing fence. Is that a new model? I wish my shop was bigger so I could replace the crummy fence on my delta contractor saw with one.

[SwampDonkey]

Yes, it's their latest model. I think there is a shorter and a longer rail system available. My shop isn't that wide, but it's 30 feet +/- long. Less places to lose stuff and less to clean. :D

Way to go Swamp!  8) I'm impressed with your new toy.

I've used an old Delta/Rockwell saw similar to the one you have, and can confirm the stock fence is junk.  Looks like a nice setup!

[WmFritz]

I need that!!!  :D

[Lud]

That looks awful nice, Bill.   You're making me rethink the piece of wood I've been using for the last year that replaced the OE that broke.   DanG cheap gene!  8)

[SwampDonkey]

Nothing wrong with cheap, if your satisfied with the results. My old fence was simply garbage, I leave table saw fence design to the experts.  ;D 8)

Nothing like being able to make quality cuts on the saw first pass and with ease. Looks like a very good investment. bg

Very nice setup and super accurate, My Delta/Rockwell is only a 9" and not very powerful as well as being old ( 1969 model ) it has the factory table with a 4" jointer on the lower step. I get ok results with the stock fence and rail system but it is in need of constant adjustment and allignment, your system is perfect and might be an option for me if it would work with the jointer under the upper extended rails otherwise I would need to relocate the jointer and get another electric motor for it as it gets it power from the original single motor with pulleys and belts that must be shifted out for the tasks at hand. Nice setup Swamp.

Congrats on the fence, now get off of the fence and get to work.   ;D   :D   :D

[SwampDonkey]

Ah yes, I've been planning the front legs today on the chair. Hmm, how to turn a round leg with an arm post, as one piece, shaped like a goose neck. Stay tuned for some magic. ;D

Sounds to me like there is a CNC router in your future!

[SwampDonkey]

No, just some tried and true techniques of furniture making. ;D

That will serve you well, Donk.
