Hello All:
I'm in the process of setting up my new SS ICS and intend to mount my Unifence. The holes in the table don't match up with those in the fence so I need to decide what to modify. The obvious approach would be to drill new holes in the cast iron top. But, the edge is just a little shorter (top to bottom) on the SS than that on my old Unisaw so the hole will have to be really close to the edge. Alternatively, I could drill and tap some holes into the Unifence rail and come in from the back side of the SS table top front edge. I'd just use a screw size smaller than the the threaded holes in the SS top.
I only found one thread mentioning a Unifence actually mounted on a SawStop (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?54840-Unifence-Feeding-Frenzy-What-s-Your-First-Impression-After-Setting-Up) and that poster mentioned that his was a temporary set up.
Anyone have thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Jim
