Hello all
Awhile back I built my compound miter saw station between two steel shelves and added extension fences on either side. I find to be a good multiuse of space.
The fences are bolted to the vertical uprights on the steel shelves with two carriage bolts per side. Horizontal "bed" is dadoed into the vertical fence with bracing underto keep it all at 90 degrees. I have washers and shims to adjust the fence and the saw.
One problem is I have been struggling to get it deadly true to the saw fence.... only having a 4' level and straight edge is not helping.
How important is it that the extension fence actually be on the same "plane" (vertically) as the saw fence? I have seen some plans where people don't even have the vertical part of the fence. Would it be unwise to have the saw forward of the extension fence? The "bed" will be flat across it all
Also I would like to incorporate a stop system on the left side but given how close the vertical fence is to the up rights ones like the kreg that sit on the top will not work. I'm debating routing a track on the vertical face for T track. one the "bed would be a pain I think as it would get saw dust in it
Hope that verbiage makes sense
Any thoughts or recommendations welcome
These are the pictures that I had readily available.... if better ones would help I can get them
Fence can be seen in back ground behind sub box
Left side fence.... exact same on the right
