Slider rip fence

[Mark Woodmark]

Made me a rip fence for the sliding table on the Felder K500 I will be receiving in June. Ya, I know, why didnt I wait until I got the saw. Anyway here are pictures. It looks darn pretty, but I dont expect it to stay that way

Mark,

Looks good. Can you give some details like what you used for the base and where you picked up some of the components?

Thanks

Mike

In addition to the above, I purchased the Lexan, the nylon washers, and had the extrusion annodizing done locally. Also I purchased the aluminum extrusion other than the Felder extension table and the T-Slot extrusion for my previous employer for scrap price. Lastly the brass rods holding the ureathane feet to the clamps was also purchased locally. I think that everything

You may want ot check out the FOG forum. Theres a person there that has real concerns with the clamping system of this fence. The post and replies are very interesting. This fences seems to have initiated quite a debate.

Mark; I have followed your posting on the FOG from the first having made several parallel fences that turned out less than steller. Main problem I have with your fence is the color. Where's the GREEN? LOL!

I wanted to color it to get attention and create a stir. I guess I acheived that. After my friends saw it, they attempted to have me committed. They threatened the same thing when I was thinking of painting my tablesaw pink. I dont expect it to stay pretty for long. Right now if I made it again, I would make the clamp arms shorter and less heavy. I think I over did it on them. They dont need to be that thick. Green is not one of my favorite colors; sorry. As I mentioned in FOG, it remains to be seen how it works and I will post that later. Lastly, I can somewhat understand Brian Lambs comments about it being the design authority on that forum and the inventor of the Big Squeeze Clamps. I have talked to a couple people who love their fence on the sliding table. Both their fences are like mine except for the clamp locations and the clamps themselves
