I'm considering fabbing up my own Biesemeyer clone fence for my TS (ok, I admit - because I'm cheap!), and have been researching aluminum extrusions. Found this excellent company www.tslots.com and am considering the 1.5" x 3.0" for the rail and 3.0" x 3.0" for the fence part + angle support + UHMW slides etc. Check out the SolidWorks pic below for rough concept drawing
This stuff looks pretty cool and very configurable, but I'm longing for something better/different...for example, an extrusion with a nice flat 6" face perpendicular to another nice flat 6" face with supports to keep it rigid.
When I look around at the Unifence design or Benchdog fences etc I see all kinds of really cool, flat, flexible (not as in bendy, but as in it has T-tracks, hold-down slots, 90deg and parallel sides etc) aluminum extrusions.
Do you guys know where I can find stuff like that? Who makes these cool extrusions?
Thanks in advance!
