How do you store your tablesaw fence?

[Jason White]

I have a Biesemeyer T-square type fence on my cabinet saw. The saw does not have a fence holder/cradle, so I'm always looking for a wall to lean it against or a horizontal surface to set it on.

Was thinking I'd make one out of plywood or metal. The table-top is all cast-iron, so I can't just screw into a plywood extension wing.

Got any ideas? Pictures of your solutions would be most helpful.

Thanks!

Jason

I hang mine vertically by the head on a wall mounted bracket made out of scrap plywood.

Hi Jason
The below link features the new Delta Unisaw. If you can scramble thru it you'll see how they mounted their fence support on the side table legs. This appeals to me, I'm going to try it on my new PM66.

I'd rather keep my fence close to the saw in the event (seldom) it's removed. I would mount the brackets below the tilt crank wheel. Anywhere else; it's IN the Way!

Here's a close-up of stock Delta/Rockwell metal brackets which mount to the side of the saw cabinet. HO-MADE versions could be easily made. Maybe something to prevent scratching? No metal-to-metal contact.

I don't do much sheet goods work so I just push my fence down to the right end of the table. This is only about 45" away but is almost always enough.

The cradle(s) that came with my saw (which screwed to the side of the cabinet body) was unfriendly to the underside edge of my fence faces so I stuck a piece of scrap on top of it.

I now store my RT fence there and set my TS fence over on a work table on the rare occasions that I remove it.

The brackets are available from Sears parts (http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/showPart.pd?partNumber=OR91135&productGroupId=0009&supplierId=152&brandId=x&documentId=P0607068&keySuffixId=NA&modelNumber=x&keyId=000328&pageId=00000&productTypeId=x&searchModelNumber=152221240&subCompDesc=Stand%20assembly&brandDesc=CRAFTSMAN&modelDesc=TABLE-SAW&blt=11) for a couple bucks apiece and work great with a shelf of some sort added on.

I have a 6" ID piece of PVC secured to the left pair of legs on my TS. When not in use I simply slide it in there. Works great, cheap..need I say more :cool:

Sweet idea. I've got a chunk of that in the rafters.

A shop-made plywood holster on the base. My Unisaw is old enough that it didn't have a motor cover, so mine is shop-made. The fence holster is fastened to it.

[Jason White]

Yep, I saw that. I don't have legs on my saw, though.

Bies makes a bracket that mounts under your saw that the fence slides into. About $10.

[Jason White]

I've looked all over. Where can you get them?

I gotta ask why not leave it pushed over to the far right end of the saw table?
Can't remember the last time I needed to take it off.

Yeah...I'm wondering that myself. :confused:

[Laurie Brown]

I rarely remove mine either. I find it more of a pain to remove it, carry it around, and put it back on. I'll either slide mine out of the way to the right, or if I have to remove it, set it aside on a bench temporarily. It's stored most of the time right on the saw.

Always wondered what those brackets on the side of the saw were for. :) I put a board over mine too and use it as a shelf to store push sticks and other small misc. accessories for the saw.

Shop made shelf under my workbench/outfeed table.

[Charles Wiggins]

I had a piece of pegboard on the wall close to my table saw where I hung saw blades and accessories. I just made a shelf out of a 2x4 and L-hooks that I rested the fence on when I needed it out of the way.

[Jason White]

My rails aren't very long. I can only push the fence 30" to the right of the blade.

Must not make them anymore.

I will show you pics of mine and then make one out of wood.

My saw is a Felder combo, so I take the fence off often. To stash it, I built a cart. It also holds spindles, collars, shaper fence stuff, tables, etc., but the cart idea worked well for me. Just a thought. When I had a Biesmeyer type fence equiped saw, I stuck the fence on a shelf that the previous owner had built under the right table. It didn't come off very often, what good is a tablesaw without a fence? When it was an assembly table though....

[Lee Schierer]

I have a contractor type saw and made a shelf that attaches to the legs on each side of the table. My Beismeyer fence and some push pads rest on one when not in use. My guard and some home made feather boards rest on the other side when not being used.
