While there's nothing wrong with my older fence design, I thought that this one would be an interesting challenge - to make a self-squaring fence that locks on the back as well as the front. I've had a number of people who have asked if this could be done and I figured now is as good a time as any to answer that!
Yes, it can! And it works beautifully.

John, so glad you're back doing woodworking projects rather than electronics. You are an amazing builder, problem solver and inventor. Thank you for doing and sharing your processes and projects. I've been inspired in a huge way and in my opinion you are one of a select handful of the all time greats on youtube for sure! I've just purchased your plan pack and can't wait to build something great!

Dang it, now I have to make the new version! I have the older version that only clamps onto the front rail and it has been working just fine so thanks for the brilliant plans for the old version. 🙂

@jeffdorrity5609 Жыл бұрын

Great value for all those plans John! I plan to purchase ASAP! I bought and built the first version a couple of years ago. It does a wonderful job with complete accuracy on my vintage early 1950’s 113.xxxxx Sears Craftsman saw.

@silverfox7550 Жыл бұрын

I built the previous version which works quite well and is very accurate. The new updated one will be even more accurate as it locks front and back so will counteract any side pressure on the fence. Great job John and keep up with new projects, plans and videos. You are definitely an inspiration . Another plus with this type of fence is that it is hassle free to remove if you want to use a crosscut sled or need the sawtop for another purpose.

I'm always so impressed by your ideas, your designs, and your craftsmanship.. yet I'm always perplexed by how your videos tend to just.. stop. It seems a rarity that you spend even just a moment exhibiting the functionality of the stellar design you've just implemented, which is perhaps where the greatest sense of satisfaction comes from as a spectator. I presume the choice is deliberate, considering how calculated all other aspects of your videos are, but I've noticed that vacuum.. that unfulfilled desire to see what you've built in action time and time again at the end of more than a handful of your videos. Either way, always a delight to watch and learn!

thank you. I have built many of your fences, each one a little better, until I finally could afford a decent table saw, which has a good fence. Then, I realized my contractors saw fence was unusable. Built another one, works great for me, but if anyone else uses it, well, they always push to hard. Gonna build the new one for the contractors saw, and love giving you $$ because you give great content, informatively and practically.

I made your original design which displaced sliced bread from the top of my list of Best Things. I too wanted to be able lock its rear end in place, but was leery of a mechanical clamp because that was what was on the fence that came with my table saw and it was unreliable. It tended to move the rear end of the fence slightly when I actuated the clamp. I settled on a switchable magnet which solidly anchors the end of the fence to the cast iron table when actuated. It has performed flawlessly. My only regret is I didn't think of it before I built the fence because then I could have easily made it actuated by the front lever instead of having to take the extra step of manually turning the magnet on/off.

Great design, so simple yet i could have never come up with that! Only idea I would have to improve it would be to bevel the measurement pointer at a 45 or even 30° angle (like a knife) to make it a bit easier/ more accurate to read. That would also make it a bit more dangerous if not in use though.

Brilliant work, John! Nicely done! 😃 Something I've seen some people do is to add a piece of plastic in the sides of the fence... I don't remember the correct name now, but the one they use to make cutting board from. Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I got the plans and am putting the rest together today. Simple to build. I like it. I tweaked it a little but that is just because I have a very specific workbench. Your emergency stop in the video has a DIY push button. You may laugh at me but if you should hurt yourself God forbid and the insurance sees that you altered the switch, they may use this as a reason to not pay. The switch is UL listed and any modification will void the listing which makes it unsafe in the eyes of authorities. Ref. National Electric Code 90.7, 110.2, 110.3(B) and (C). Just looking out for a brother.

I missed out on the bundle plan. Oh well. (Stupid surgery, LoL!). Great build as always. I need to build a better fence for my old Craftsman contractor saw. But first I'm going to build it into a cabinet so I have a larger working surface. Before the comments start, I've heard and read all of the "vibration" complaints about my particular saw and I honestly don't have that problem since I tuned up my table saw using Stumpy Nubs advice. My antique saw cuts like butter, straight as an arrow and has almost no vibration. Sadly though, with the original fence I only have a 13" max cutting width. If I want to cut wider than that I have to do it with a circular saw or eyeball it on the table saw and dangerously without a miter gauge or fence. I'm sorry, but free hand on a table saw is not appealing to me. LoL.

@tomaharley9227 Жыл бұрын

About to build a new fence for my new home made table saw and again jumped on your channel since I've used your old design building a fence in the past. Now about this new design... Correct me if I'm missing something, but as I see it the threaded rod doesn't contribute at all clamping the back side of the fence configured this way. What I'm thinking is 2 nuts are needed, thightened 1 on each side of the metal plates (front side) and the threaded rod itself musn't be on the handle itself, but over the pivot point of the metal plates, which in this case is the screw that holds them to the fence. This said, the screw that holds the metal plates must be somewhere in the middle of them, not on the top. This way clamping down with the handle would pull the rod together with the metal plate on the back. Otherwise I really can't figure out how the rod is helping?
