My Precision Fence System for the Miter Saw
Channel: AlabamaWoodworker
Date: 2017-02-08

I've gotten a lot of questions and interest about my miter saw fence system.  It's really quite simple.  I'm using an aluminum extrusion profile manufactured by Misumi Engineering as a t-track within my miter station top.  I then use a set of brackets to attach a wider and taller extrusion to the t-track to create a fence. A shop made flip stop and a measuring tape along the fence extrusion offer accuracy and repeatability.  Furthermore, the profiles are compatible with a myriad of clamping and hold down accessories.
