So I have a SS CTS that I want to add a slightly longer extruded aluminum fence onto. I want it no more than 1/2" thick so it doesn't overwhelm the stock fence mechanics. Can someone suggest which 8020 I should be considering? Thanks for the help.

Im not sure 1/2" exists. 1x3 or 25x75 are pretty standard. Misumi doesnt offer anything that thin.

I think the only place to find auxilary fences may be something like Woodpeckers super track. Its .7" x3.85"

McMaster has a 2" wide 1/2" thick one or a 3" wide 3/4" thick one:

Bert, I think that's the closest I've seen yet, however the 1/2" only comes in a 2" height. I'd need a 3 to 4" height. Good try though.

Here is an aluminum extrusion that is 120 x 160 (about 4-3/4" x 5/8").

I don't know pricing. You will have to contact them by phone.
