Well, I finally got around to putting a fence on the SCMS bench. I am quite
happy with it, the accuracy is much better than what I had previously.
Pics are on the web at
http://rec.woodworking.homeip.net/wood/ then click on SCMS Fence, or direct

This weekend I'll make a sliding stop block to keep on the fence (freeing up
one more clamp!).
Comments welcome.
Greg
Hi Greg,
Thanks for the post. I picked up a few ideas that I will use when I rebuild my
current set up. A question, how did you get the saw to be at the same level as
the L/R tables? I currently use playing cards to shim mine but there must be a
better way. Is the saw bolted to the sub table? Cheers, JG

The tables were built to match the height of the SCMS bed. I knew I couldn't
get it "exact" so I used an old trick - I mounted the SCMS on small rubber
feet and used screws with rubber washers to bolt it down. That way I can
tighten or loosen the screws to get a slight raise or lower of the bed.
you could get the same effect by sitting the saw on some hard(ish) rubber
blocks.
