movement easy. Just rotate the tab
up. As the rip fence is moved off of
the worktable onto the floating table it
contacts the table tab and, as movement
is continued, the floating table moves
with the rip fence. See Fig 24. When
moving the rip fence back to the
worktable, just grasp the rip fence and
the table tab together and the floating
table moves forward with the fence.
Let go of the tab when you reach the
worktable. A little paste wax on your
extension tubes will allow the floating
table to move easily.
Removing the INCRA TS-III Ultra from
the Shopsmith Workstation
When converting your Shopsmith
to alternate work modes it will be
necessary to remove the TS-III from the
workstation. To do this simply remove
the telescoping legs, loosen the two
thumbscrews that secure the floating
table and Ultra base to the extension
tubes and slide the unit off. The TS-III
is much more manageable when the rip
fence is locked close to the Ultra base.
See Fig. 25. If you need the use of the
extra floating table, just remove the large
clamping knobs and lift the base support
panel off. When replacing the unit make
sure to realign the fence parallel to the
miter slot and re-zero the scale and
hairline cursor. Realigning the fence can
often be accomplished by simply shifting
the floating table along the extension
tubes, or by shifting the position of the
base support panel on the floating table.
Micro adjusting the rip fence position
The micro adjust feature of your new
INCRA TS-III Ultra allows for precise
positioning of the rip fence to any
location between the 1/32” tooth spacing
of the INCRA racks. See Fig. 26. Youʼll
find this feature extremely handy the
next time you want to widen a mortise
by a few thousandths of an inch when
using your router table or for shaving
a “hair” off the width of a tenon cut in
table saw mode. Use the micro adjuster
