Wixey Digital has come out with a digital fence readout. It's pretty slick seems to be accurate and repeatable. Check out the web site wixey.com. Barry Wixey the owner was very helpful with the modifications and told me I could return the unit if it wasn't going to work.
It's a pretty simple design and install for a Bies fence.
I have a Grizzly 1023 with the Shop Fox fence so I had to make some modifications to clear the locking tab on the underside of the fence.
I make a couple of brackets that attached to the table.
Drilling a 1/4" hole through the fence angle iron and table was no problem.
Since I only had a piece of 2" aluminum angle I had to make an extension on the end that attached to the table.
The kit comes with two rails to aaccommodate an extended fence. Since I only have the the standard length fence I only used one of the rails. Here are some pics (I hope) of the unit and the install. I've got ten draws to make this weekend so I should be able to give it a workout....
