OPTIONAL – REFERENCE FENCE ATTACHMENT
The reference fence attachment consists of a 1" square tube inserted into receptacles that are welded
to the machine. The position of the tube can be locked in place by tightening a thumb screw on one of
the receptacles. Two paddle bar holders get slid onto the tube. Typically one is positioned to the left
of the receptacle and one to the right like shown in the photo below. But the holders can be put
anywhere you need to get the dimensions you want.
Slide the paddle bars into their holders and position them either closer to or further away from the
centerline of the rotary table. This will vary some depending on the size of bar and the bending die
being used. The proper setting allows the bar to touch near the tip of the paddle so the bar slides off
as soon as it begins bending.
Two stops can be set. Set one paddle bar for the short dimension and the other for the long. Keep
the thumb screw loose on the paddle bar closest to the rotary table and simply slide it back and forth
as needed to bend up the rectangle.
WARNING: Make certain that the bending post will not hit a paddle bar when the table
rotates. Move the paddle bar further to the left, away from the rotary table so there is
clearance between the bending post and the paddle bar when the table rotates. Use lines
etched into the table to reference smaller dimensions. A "Sharpie" works great for this.
An additional paddle bar that is bolted to the end of the bar provides the reference stop for cutting
accurate lengths when equipped with the optional cutter.
