The fact that the handle on the G0513X fence was in the way, when unlocked, of material extending toward the operator kinda bugged me. Another gentleman, here or elsewhere, made an elegant fix by relocating the handle and adding some linkage. This is a bit beyond my skills so if the handle is bothering anyone else, here's what I did:
Remove the handle:
Get an appropriate sized bolt and washer:
Counter bore a piece of scrap:
Route the back to straddle the handle mounting block so as not to twist:
In the unlocked position, material now clears.
Here it is in the locked position:
I made a place to hang my fence when it is not in use. One of the hollow spaces in the fence fits over a dowel:
If you set your's on a flat surface when it is not on the saw, this fix could be more trouble than help ;-)
