The Shop Fox fence comes with a cursor magnifier. I put one on my PM 65 and hated the cursor and replaced it with a standard non-magnified one from Ereplacementparts.com. I think I still have the old one with the magnifier so PM me your address and if I still have it I'll mail it to you.

I've read this many times. There's not much love for the magnifying cursor.

I have one off a Shop Fox classic that I hand and replaced it with a home made one.

The Dollar store sells reading glasses for a buck.

I hacked one out of a freebie promotional giveaway- magnifying ruler:

Office supply stores sell 'em too, about 2$.

That's clever.

Maybe this will work if it fits http://www.mikestools.com/B1350189-Biesemeyer-Cutoff-Stop-78989-Cursor.aspx ----Carroll

The one on my fence was really scratched up and hard to see through, so I found a couple replacements. Only they didn't fit. If you want to PM me your address, I'll see if I can find them and throw them in an envelope. I decided, after that misfire, to just live with the scratches. Although Hank's idea now has some appeal...

I would note that the "if I can find them" is a serious caveat. My shop is relatively organized. But those things are really, really small.

Ill tell you where you can find one. In my trash can!

Depending on where your eye is your measurement can be off by 1/4" in either direction. It's so bad I complained to Grizzly for shipping them on their shopfox fences without having another option or part to replace it. I made my own and its 10 times better.

For the love of all that is good; DONT GET ONE. Your work quality will show.

Harbor Freight, $ (http://www.harborfreight.com/foldaway-magnifying-glass-36415.html)1 (at least back in 2008, it's a buck-fifty now). Cut one of the eye-pieces off of this little doo-jobber and stick in place with a drop of silicon rubber.

[Brian Brightwell]

Glenn, that just might work. Clever very clever.

The stop on radial arm fence has a magnifier on it and it seems to work well. I think it was made by Besset. If it don't work like a few have said at least its not expensive. thanks for your input.

This one is for a Jet saw (XACTA fence?) but looks similar to the BM
