Hey all,
I’m currently designing a mitre station for my shop and have seen so many ideas, videos and plans that I’m going cross eyed.

I see some people who insist on having a long fence that is the full length of the table and other who use no fence at all. Some claim the only reason they have a fence is for a movable stop block. To this I say, I can just install the t-track in the table top along side an adhesive bench ruler and use that for stops. Can also use for hold downs.

What are your thoughts on this? Is a fence necessary? Can it cause issues on slightly warped boards? Will my mitre saw be more accurate with the fence?

Thanks in advance.
Sean
