You are way over thinking it, have you even tried using the rip fence with it in the pulled back position? It¡¯s been done for melania without any extra gadgets...

Brett,
Thanks for the details. John K method does not eliminate the bind it just reduces the friction by reducing the contact area. as the slider is moves fwd over 8¡¯ the material will still get 0.016¡± closer (based on .002¡±/ft slider toe out).?
John,
do you use it for xcut or long 8¡¯ rips? to me binding of 16 thou is still putting pressure that could be avoided. if it works on long rips, i will make one and try it before anything else.

1. Its easier to leave rip fence unmodified so you know it is consistent.
2. Pick a spot on the slider travel you always index. I choose to slide mine all the way back until it hits the travel stop, then move stock across slider toward the rip fence until it makes contact.
3. Verify test cut is indeed what you want.if not, adjust rip fence width accordingly and verify it is now correct.
4. Wider stock will contact rip fence further back than narrow stock using this method because the rip fence toe out means the back corner of the stock will contact the rip fence, not the front. So adding John Kee's magswitch point block he showed in prior message will ensure consistency at that same bump stop point regardless of the stock width.
5. Don't worry about it anymore, you've mastered this task now.
Or a piece of thick paper between the back of the aluminium fence where it tightens up against fence casting......

Subject: [FOG] working bump stop
now that i have an outrigger i am cutting sheets. so far i have been using rip fence for setting the cut line, clamp, push away rip fence and cut. i thought about clamping a narrow piece to rip fence so material is rubbing against 1¡± vs the entire length of rip fence but it is still being constrained and i don¡¯t like it.
so my thought was to do the tape on the leading edge of rip fence trick so when i have it clamped (pulled back there is no toe-out in the rip fence). but there will still be slider toe-out to deal with.
so my question is, should the rip fence be adjusted to the trajectory of slider (toe-in) for this purpose (use as bump stop)? instead of 0 toe out?
what would i be missing if i do that?
David B, i did look thru the survival guide this time ....
