ripsaw fence hack for addressing deflection and more!

 

Greetings group, I wanted to share a useful hack of my tablesaw a rip fence. I have a CF 741 and was using the high-speed router spindle. ?While ?routing some sliding dovetails I noticed?variations in the results due to deflection of the rip fence. Although I could mitigate this problem by careful feeding of the work piece, I wanted a better solution. What I came up with was to use a right angle Magswitch ()?and permanently attach it to the fence. These are handy devices and worth the cost.
? ? ?Since I had overcome my hesitancy about drilling holes into the RIp fence I took the time to add some Bow feather boards as well. Haven¡¯t used it, but this has been a desired upgrade for a while.
?
Just wanted to share these hacks and hope someone else would find it useful.
?
Best regards, Tim

Tim,

Thanks for sharing the hack. I just wanted to add that if you have a mag base for an indicator, that works just as well. I also use it as a reference surface (bump stop) and as a stop for routing.

Tim with the cf you can also use your shaper fence for a bump stop.

Thank you for the feedback and the ideas. I need to use my setup for a while before declaring it a success.
 

Hi Tim, are you running the piece between the router bit and the fence?


Maybe I¡¯m not understanding what you¡¯re doing.

Regards, Rod
