Using a Wood Fence
Facing
The SHOP FOX ® Classic Fence can be faced
with 3 ⁄

" kiln dried hardwood, plywood or
medium density fiber board (MDF) in place
of the HDPE plastic fence sides. For certain
operations such as dadoing or close sawing, it
is necessary to have a fence material which
can be cut into. If using kiln dried lumber, use
a piece that is free of knots and other defects
and preferably a species with dimensional
stability such as maple, birch or beech.
