Armed with this state-of-the-art fence system, you'll be able to tackle all of your projects with improved convenience, precision and safety.

- Pro Fence is 24-1/2" long by 2-1/2" thick with a double T-slot track on the top surface plus another T-slot on each side for attaching accessories, jigs and fixtures. Two levers lock it rigidly to the front and rear of the main or extension table with a quick flip. It also includes a wider fence straddler.
- Wider Tie Bar with dual tilt locks at the front and rear of the table. The widened tube stance for dust collection and gives added stability.
- New Table Carriage with quarter-turn locks. Hand wheel and lock move the table up and down - then secure it where you want it.
