down to “unlock”, then slide the fence to
the new position. See Fig. 23. Always

the rip fence at the new scale location,
simply pull the carriage clamp up into
the “locked” position. When moving the
rip fence, take care not to accidentally

between the worktable and the Ultra
base it is important to provide support
for the rip fence glides. This is done
by moving the floating table with the
rip fence. The table tab added to the
floating table earlier makes this dual
