Well note sure which you mean?


The jointech fence was ordered directly from jointech.

The osborne was ordered from Spokane power tool 509 489 4202 (this is not an add for them just responding. )

/me goes on the lamb.



I did do a disclaimer about not having a digital camera. I promise I will get some shots of it and post how I like it. But I will tell you some first impressions:

This thing feels stout ! I mean very rigid. I played with it to make sure it was true and I found it to be so close out of the box I was amazed. I was worried about the armature a little but it is rock solid and no slop in any of the parts. The instructions leave alot to be desired, if it cost about 20.00 more I would pay it for more complete instructions.

They give you a self adhesive rule and glide tape and friction tape. But they don't tell you where to put it ! I mean it's easy enough to figure out but still the instructions should be more complete then they are. A quick measure tells you just how farback to put the rule on the gauge. (3") The flip stop is tight with no wobble at all. Positive stops at all major angles with the push of a button. Works on left or right tilt saws and glides smoothly through the mitre slot.

I'll put this thing to work and let you all know how I like it. I will be in tampa until friday so I won't get to try until Sat.
