Please post some pictures of what modification you have done?
Thank you in advance

Paul,
I know exactly what you mean. I got sick of the gap between the planer and saw table and the poor, to me, operation of the rip fence.
I used a length of 40/80 slotted aluminium extrusion clamped to the front of the saw table and made up my own sliding fence. The arrangement is similar to how the Hammer fence is arranged. It may look a little crude but it glides accross the tables easily and is just as solid as the original Felder fence.
I incorporated adjusters into it so I can set it square and also parallel to the saw blade.
The only slight disadvantage is that it does not tilt.
I managed to do this without drilling or modifying the machine or original fence in any way. The extrusion can be removed by backing off two 13mm bolts 1/2 turn each.
If you're interested I'll post up a few pictures but I won't be back at work till Monday.
Dave
