Re: You get what you pay for. Cheap digital fence readout.

Fiama makes a small aluminum extrusion that can hold the banding and be surface mounted. If your cat table isn¡¯t consistent enough, you could shim the extrusion as necessary and create a channel that runs parallel to the sliding portion of the fence.?

In the same vein, lots of LED lighting has aluminum extrusions and I bet it¡¯s the same 10mm wide channel¡­. Look on Amazon.

Mike, thanks for the info. I have an SCM S540P, which does not have a scale strip. I think I can stick the magnetic band to the table, and mount the display to the bandsaw frame. The read head can probably tuck under the fence. That will leave the cable exposed, but it seems it will probably be out of the way.

First thing is to check the distance between the table and the bar the fence runs on. If it varies too much the clearance between the read had and magnetic strip will get out of tolerance. That was an issue with my K700S.
