Quick Jet xacta fence mod

I found that I could read the cursor much better on my Jet micro
adjust Xacta fence with a simple and cheap mod. I turned the cursor
plate over and used 10-32 x 3/4 screws and 6 flat washers as
spacers.(3 per side)to lower the cursor below the black mounting
plate. This places the cursor about 1/16 above the rail measuring tape
and makes for easier viewing. Keith

Interesting... I replaced mine with a flat piece of polycarbonate instead of
the stock fisheye lens. I gave it a deep etch that I filled with paint for
a cursor and hung it as low as possible. Now if I could only straighten the
UHMW poly fence faces...:)
