Just curious, I've seen these mentioned a few times over the years, but little is ever said about them.

I have no experience with them, but have seen positive comments. They are somewhat a specialty item with a price attached, but look to be really, really well made. I believe Brian has been a member here, but I didn't check for sure.

Hi Derek,
I'm about to have experience with an SC4E and the Lamb Tooworks parallel fence, but it won't be for another couple of months. My equipment should arrive in mid-December, and then need to get an electrician on site for plugs/whips.

I have purchased the digital version and truly like it.

Brian is in Phoenix, just up the road from me. He is a SMC member.

I have used the analogue version on my Felder CF741 for years. I believe they are almost an essential element of gear for a slider. I use them for almost all ripping I do on the slider. They are extremely well made. You won’t be disappointed.
A couple of my local customers have them. Really nice, better quality than OEM if I may say so:

i have the same question - do you just use the one, since I usually see them in pairs. . .
Only one, with an OEM support table underneath. Both Felder (Hammer) and SCM offer their respective versions of this support table. The other reference edge would be your OEM crosscut fence. If you didn't have an OEM crosscut fence, then I guess you might need a second parallel fence.

Yes Derek, I am only using one parallel guide with my DRO stop on the crosscut fence. It works great for me, I have a 300mm spacer block that I am using with the stop for closer cuts. Here are a couple more photos

I see. The picture shows the second reference as the x-cut fence with the flipstop and offset piece that I'm sure is referenced against the ruler. I guess some math must be done, but I also see the DRO on the x-cut fence which probably can handle the offset. I have the hammer - and I dont think the Felder DRO is compatible with it. So having a DRO on the lamb parallel fence wouldnt work as effectively if you also didnt have a DRO in the 2nd parallel leg. All sorts of complexities involved lol.
