Sliding Miter-Gauge Fence
Oct 25, 2005
I added a sliding fence to my tablesaw’s miter gauge to enable it to perform like the gauges found on many European power tools. With a sliding fence, you can move the end of the fence right next to the blade for a 45¡ miter cut, then reposition it for a 90¡ cut. I made the miter fence from a piece of maple, metal track and T-bolts made specifically for jigs by The Woodworkers’ Store (21801 Industrial Blvd, Rogers, Minn. 55374). Wing nuts with toothed washers lock the fence in position.
