Hi Guys,
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
I spent the day setting my new Grizzly tablesaw. I'm pleased as pumpkin pie with one exception--the shopfox fence that comes with this outfit has a fatal flaw--the danged CURSOR!!!!
Some engineer must have thought us old dumb cabinetmakers must have bad vision. Or perhaps he had a bit of a problem with the bubbly.... Anyway, he somehow came up with the idea to provide a giant magnifying bubble above the hairline cursor for the rip fence. The problem is, unless you hang a plumb bob off your nose to insure that you are dead straight above the bubble, the apparent position of the hairline moves. Just moving my head left or right a little moves my perception of the hairline curser a 1/16th of an inch!
SO: Do any of the talented readers here have a solution? Is there any other company like Biesmeyer or Kreg that makes a flat cursor that I could fit to the shop fox fence? I'm not afraid of drilling new holes or whatever it takes, the existing situation is completely unusable.
Many Thanks, Steve
