Zero Clearance Fence
Steps
SECTION 5: SHOP-MADE
SAFETY ACCESSORIES
Making a Zero-
Clearance Fence
A shop-made zero-clearance fence provides
more support than a standard fence and reduces
tearout on narrow or fragile stock. Using a zero-
clearance fence is the best way to reduce the risk
associated with shaping inherently dangerous
small stock.
To make a zero-clearance fence:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Remove fence faces and mounting brackets
from fence supports by loosening fence lock
knobs (see Figure 44).

3.

4.
Select piece of straight and smooth stock that
is same height and thickness as fence faces
and approximately 30" long.
5.
Position board over length of guard/fence
assembly and mark mounting holes and out-
line cutter and spindle profile.
6.
Cut an outline of spindle and cutter from cen-
ter of stock, as illustrated in Figure 46.
Note: Make outline as close as possible to
cutter and spindle without interfering with
rotation.
