Re: Applying Biesemeyer Tape
thanks Brian. you are correct, the scale is held in channel not glued. i have not opened the package but i expect this to be not stiff enough to be used on it¡¯s own. i intend to stick it to the AL band that came with the short xcut fence. i was torn between this and a steel option from mcmaster carr. there was not a good pic of scale markings on mcmaster and biesemeyer is recommended in survival guide.
BTW, not a fan of the AL bands. once accidentally bent it is almost impossible to make if lay flat.

Re: Applying Biesemeyer Tape
I stuck mine down after cleaning the fence with acetone.. never had an issue with it coming loose.. I did not use the spray adhesive either

Re: Cutting mitered bridal joint
I built the legs and stand offs, drilled the mounting holes, laid the top upside down on a table, positioned the legs/base where I wanted it, spot drilled into the table bottom to mark the locations. Took the legs off and enlarged the holes in the top for brass inserts with machined threads on the inside, installed them. Then I took the base assembly and enlarged the holes from the top side part way thru. then, once everything was finished and bolted together, there was room for the bolts to tilt slightly with expansion and contraction.
Probably all over kill here in AZ, we don¡¯t have much trouble with that sort of thing.

Re: Cutting mitered bridal joint
Mark, I think the legs on the photo might be angled outwards somewhat, or maybe it¡¯s the camera angle.?
I made my legs straight, for now. I might revisit and try a non straight mitered bridle joints.
The top boards will sitt in grooves. Haven¡¯t decided how to make them. Maybe I¡¯ll make a jig like the ones for box joints on tablesaws. I can¡¯t use a dado blade on my saw, but I have a wide kerf blade, 6 mm.?
