How many of you have cursed the opening in the fence when you want to
use it for narrow pieces of wood such as boxes with narrow sides. How
about trying to put a biscuit/plate into the end of a board and having
the end fall into the opening in the fence? I think I have about 40%
of the time. Seems I am always "falling" into the center opening of
the fence.
For the life of me, I don't know why Dewalt/Elu has this design flaw.
I know that it probably has something to do with casting the fence, but
it sure flaws the design.
I just couldn't take it any longer and put an aluminum plate on the end
of the fence. It worked great and I don't know why I have not done it
before.
Has anyone else done this or have another approach they tried? Does
the Porter Cable have this problem?
The PC has a clear plastic insert to put in that opening to prevent what you
are describing.
