Woodpeckers Auxiliary Rip Fence, 48”

Woodpeckers  new  Auxiliary  Rip  Fence  adds  precision,  safety,  and   versatility to your standard table saw rip fence, no matter whether it’s  brand new or 60 years old. The plywood found on most modern rip  fence  faces  are  subject  to  movement  from  environmental  changes.   Even the pressure of the mounting screws can warp and twist the face.  By simply clamping on the Auxiliary Rip Fence, you have a straighter  reference for the edge of your material and it can fit any rip fence. Plus, the material support holds your workpiece on either side of the blade.

At  48"  long   and  over  3-1/2"  tall,  it’s  much  longer,  taller  and  (most  importantly)   straighter  than  your  standard  table  saw  fence.   You  can  position  the   extra  length  of  the Auxiliary  Rip  Fence  exactly  where  you  need  it;   in front of the blade, behind the blade or split it down the middle... whatever improves the cut quality and your safety.

The standard, high fence  setting provides more support when cutting box lids or raised  panels. With the low-fence setup, the track lays down flat and  5/8" above the table. Now you can safely make thin rips without  interference  between  push  stick  and  fence.  Or,  raise  your Auxiliary   Rip Fence above the table and it instantly transforms into an L-fence. Breaking down large sheet goods on your table saw is easier and far  more accurate than ever before. The long fence gives you ample fence  surface ahead of the blade and the material support extends the table  surface in front of the blade without taking up any floorspace. You can  also place the material support behind the saw if you don’t have the  space for a full-blown outfeed table.
