Re: Incra LS fence vs. Felder rip fence for x-roll
Very nice advices, I tested with a square on the crosscut fence, but Brian's square is too small to reach the parallel fence from my outrigger fence. I also use the adjustable square for small

Re: Incra LS fence vs. Felder rip fence for x-roll
The 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

Re: Incra LS fence vs. Felder rip fence for x-roll

Re: Incra LS fence vs. Felder rip fence for x-roll
Ask here, whoever has upgraded has them (I don't have them send them back as I don't want to deal with used parts and shipping and such). Those that had two units might want to keep one for themselves
