FENCE EXTENSION
To aid in edge jointing of workpieces 4" and wider, you may extend the
fence height. The extension can be constructed of 1" (3/4" thick) stock
pine or hardwood.
Use #8 flat head wood screws of sufficient length to securely attach the
extension to the fence. Make sure that the head of the screws are below
the surface of the fence so as not to interfere with the workpiece.
For extra stability, additional countersunk holes have been provided near
the ends of the fence.
