Two lamina plates shaped to the extruded section of the rip fence
mounting bracket and secured by self tapping screws. They blank off
the voids at the ends of the bracket.
This is a small bracket housing that mounts a small shaft with a round
knob handle on the outer end and a pinion gear on the other. The gear
is held disengaged from the rack on the mounting rail by a spring. If you
wish to use the adjustor, pushing the handle forward against the spring
will allow the pinion to engage with the rack. Precise movement, left and
right can now be achieved. REMEMBER to unlock the fence before
attempting to use the adjustor.
A cast assembly, which mounts on to a steel bar. The steel bar fits into
the machined slots in the table. A 'T' bar locking effect is achieved by
screwing a large diameter washer to the underside of the bar. This
washer runs in the thin slots which form a 'T' in conjunction with the
main slot. The assembly at the rear of the mitre fence is a combination
of index marker and preset stop mechanism. Withdrawing and
advancing the locating pin against the various faces in the casting will
establish several preset angular positions. Remember to lock the mitre
fence in position before use. There is a decal scale on the main body of
the mitre fence which will enable you to read off the angle at which the
device is set.
When the rear extension table is fitted, it prevents the mitre fence being
'slid thro' to clear the table at the rear. This should not present any
problems with the functionality of the saw as the mitre fence at any
angle more than adequately passes the front edge of the saw
The Sliding Table Assembly consists of:-
These are cast brackets that are bolted through the face of the legs of
the upper chassis on the off side of the saw. The holding bolts for the
brackets are anchored in a flat clamping plate that is behind the face of
the leg. The brackets are used to mount the slide rail assembly. The
inclined faces of the brackets have two guide lands that engage with the
slide rail assembly to locate it in position. There is also a square dog
that is captured in its corresponding channel in the slide rail assembly,
this dog is tighten in the channel using the lift and shift lever handle; this
will lock the slide rail into position. The brackets are symmetrical and
can be fitted either way 'up'; although, nominally the adjusting bolts are
pre-fitted and would indicate the way the bracket is to be mounted.
There is an adjusting bolt at the top and bottom of the rear bracket face
to enable the slide rail assembly and hence the sliding table to be set
correctly.
These are two small blocks that bolt to the chassis leg face below the
slide rail brackets. There is a bolt through the block that is driven
against the lower face of the bracket and allows the height of the
bracket and hence the sliding table to be set precisely.
