An alignment bar (for the fence). I have a positive impression of the project It's solid, well made, and once one of the magnets is turned on, it sits perfectly square to my bandsaw (Jet 16") table as far as I can tell from using The FAST bars made it extremely easy to square it up to the blade. Using the tool for the first time (and the only time so far), I created 16 tennon and open mortise joints (as seen in the pictures). With the fence set at the blade and a T-shaped cutting blade, these cuts can be made With the track flip stop, the 1/8" FAST bar was used for setting up the saw for cutting the arms, and the 3/16" fast bar was used for cutting the tenons. tennons on the set up test cuts were a little too thick, so I put a little lateral tension on the blade while setting the fence, and it corrected the difference between the kerf and the border of 3/16" to 1/8". Getting the results I wanted was pretty easy, and I'm very happy with the outcome. My bandsaw has taken on a whole new dimension thanks to this fence. Here's how six months have gone It's amazing how useful this is. To resaw with the "F," it takes about 30 seconds to get it set up. As soon as they are set, T bars hold firmly. It is impossible for me to add a star to my update, and I doubt that I will add one, but the tool looks like it would be great to.
So it was not 90 degrees (the fence square to the table was locked down), instead it was 90 degrees. You can see in the first photo that there are 3 A large amount of daylight can be seen between the fence and the machinist square as shown in photo 2. On the electronic square, lock the fence to the table and position yourself a 3 degree angle. One good thing about these bands is they come with adjustment screws for you to square the fence to your As you can see in the picture, the fence has been squared up In the area between the fence and machinist square, there are no lights. Pricey, but I like having access to a fence without having to drill a hole in the table to take it. For cutting scales, this works well for me as a knife maker. In comparison to Carter's site, Amazon's prices with shipping were significantly lower.
It is a great concept, but because I received a fence that was not square to my table, I received the wrong fence. As far as I am aware, Carter does not care about the quality of their products (or customer service, if my recent experiences are an indication). This item was purchased along with the faceplate in hopes that I wouldn't have to resort to shims, but I knew I might have to because I didn't want to get ripped off! My recommendation is to buy the switches instead and make your own if you want the fence itself square, and that will not be a deal breaker for you.
As my bandsaw table (an older craftsman 14") does not have fence holes, I was really excited to buy this product, but as soon as I got it out and adjusted it, it turned out to be useless. As it was right out of the box, the fence itself was out of place. For this problem, the fence includes a few set screws to adjust the tilt of the fence (which should not be a problem in the first place). In the first place, one of the set screws had some crushed threads, so the nuts that came with it wouldn't fit smoothly. Which is what it was designed for in the first place! When the magnets were engaged, they had a space of nearly 1/4" between them and the table! It was also virtually impossible to adjust before turning on the magnets - because the fence was constantly tilted until engaged - so attempting to set it in place first (before turning on the magnets) was Could you tell me how difficult it is for Carter to mill two pieces of aluminum to sit squarely next To square it up, it may need to be adjusted a bit (in the thousandths range) but not this much.
I have returned this and will replace it with the Kreg fence and drill holes in my new.
Benchtop Rikon saw on a small table. I am now able to use my band saw as a precision tool because of this fence. In addition to some people's comments, the fence wasn't perfectly square out of the box, however I simply added a few strips of masking tape across the bottom of the board on the inside and it was as square as it could be. In my view, this is simply due to a manufacturing tolerance of the rubber strips on the front and back of the fence that compress when the magnets engage with it. I took the pictures below right after I cut my first From a scrap 2x4, I cut 1/16" veneer slices and had 1/128" variation in the thickness of the slices. The blade I use is a new Timber Wolf 6 tpi blade, and I'm happy with it. This small Rikon 10-inch tablesaw is set on a benchtop An electric motor with a 34 horsepower powers the 305.
