same location on multiple work pieces of the same dimension. When
the Swing Stop is not used, it will pivot out of the way to allow the work
piece to slide underneath and rest against the fence. To change the
location of the Swing Stop simply loosen the knob, move to the new
location and tighten the Knob to lock the Swing Stop in position.
