Home : Dalrun : Fences :
My original fence for this machine is a t-slot extrusion partially embedded in the table, The bolt head at the front of the table is used to adjust the the distance between the fence and boring head. The extrusion has alternating reamed and threaded holes to allow moving the stops in 32mm increments from the head.
The new fence mounts to t-slot extrusions mounted to the sides of the table. This allows the machine to be used for other things, e.g. drilling/setting drawer front adjusters. Like my stops, the fence mounts use self squaring t-slot nuts to keep the fence parallel to the table and to allow the fence to be free sliding or incremental. Scales are handy in either case... The fence has holes 32mm apart for locating push stops that have 1mm per turn and .17mm per facet adjustability. While I've used paint marks in the past, I used a spring punch to mark 0mm with the stop fully retracted - full millimeters when the stop is adjusted out.
