I spent Saturday in front of the milling machine & lathe instead of the tablesaw.
I sometimes find it frustrating bump adjusting the TS fence trying to sneak up on a critical dimension. I based this on the plastic fence adjuster that Rockler sells.
I’ve had the old micrometer head kicking around my tool box for years, and with a new battery, I thought I’d put it to work. The two 22 lb rear earth magnets do a decent job of holding the unit in place when I adjust the fence but I think I will add a couple more to the bottom ledge just to be sure it doesn’t move.
Anyway, here’s some pics for your amusment…
