Re: Incra LS fence vs. Felder rip fence for x-roll
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThe prototype version of my stop setter was made of wood, with magnetic latches to the case iron top. ?Over the past few years, a few people on FOG asked for the parts list and copied the design. ?So I¡¯ll post the details below in case anyone else wants to make a version with telescoping arm. ?I was after more accuracy than can be achieved using Brian¡¯s ¡°from slider edge¡± method. ?The inner edge on all of the sliding tables I¡¯ve owned is not a flat reference surface and thus varies by 1-2mm along it¡¯s length. ?I build to higher standards than that even on kitchen cabinets. ?¡°Close enough¡± is not in my vocabulary. ?To each their own.This earlier implementation is based on a telescoping monopod by Manfroto - took me a while to zone in on something that was the right length, would collapse, be reasonably rigid, and off the shelf. ?I started with this: The MagSwitch units are available from a lot of sources, but Grizzly is the cheapest for the smaller version I used. ?I bought the MagSwitch #95 which is just adequate. ?I would recommend using a pair of the MagSwitch 150 units which have stronger holding power.
