I've had the N4400 for 7 years now. It's a solid machine, and has been very reliable to date.

The one area that I have been disappointed in is the fence. It is rock solid, easy to adjust ... but it lacks a scale, which would make it easier to set up quickly. I finally decided to do something about that this weekend.

I used a steel scale in mm (I prefer mm when working with small units, plus all the Hammer A3-31 I have works in mm). This was attached to the side of the table by drilling and tapping a thread into the cast iron. The holes in the scale are slotted for adjustment.



Read the scale against the edge of the fence ...




Hope this is useful to someone else.
