Since JessEm's email is defining my address as spam, anyone with a Jessem Table Saw Stock Guide able to tell me the farthest it is able to extend to the left from the fence?

I'm trying to see if I can utilize this with my Incra Wonder Fence in addition to the Table Saw Fence. The manual only states how high it can lift up to manage tall stock.

Thanks!

I have the saw stock guides mounted on my PCS Premium fence which is a little narrower than Biesemeyer style fences. So with that said, the roller can extend out to about 2-1/4" open space from the fence face. It's possible to get an extra 1/2" with the mounting rod further into the middle of the mount. Hope that helps.

The guides are awesome. After the first use, I knew they were a perfect addition. Jessem has excellent machining.

Also, I bought my stock guides for $30 less through Lee Valley than buying directly from Jessem.

I've been using the JessEm Stock Guides for about six months and really like them for their safety [kick back prevention] and enhanced accuracy of long rip cuts. Worth the price in my opinion.

I'm thinking about buying a set, I'd like something to insure sheet goods are held tight to the fence. Does it work well for that?

Im trying to see if I can use it for both the Incra router wonder fence and table saw fence. I have my router table attached to the table saw so I'm hoping I don't need both stock guides if it extends far enough beyond the wonder fence.

I have a set and like them real well. They do a good job holding sheet goods tight to the fence, makes ripping a little more comfortable in a one man operation. One small complaint is not being able to use a push stick with the guides deployed but it's very easy to move the guides back on top of the fence if you choose to not use them.
