-20- G8621 Heavy-Duty Sliding Table Shaper
Fence Adjustment
The fence is a two-piece adjusting system. Each
fence is independently adjustable to compensate
for different cutting thicknesses and special shap-
ing applications. Without any play, one turn of the
knob moves the split fence approximately
5
⁄64"
(.078"). To adjust the fence:
1. Loosen the fence lock handle.
2. Turn the fence adjustment knob until the
fence is set to the desired position.
3. Tighten the fence lock handle.
More detailed information concerning fence
adjustments is covered in the “Straight Shaping”
instructions.

Aligning The Fences
The following procedure ensures that the fence is
parallel with itself and square with the table.
1. Check that the bolts through the wood facing
are tight on each side and are adequately
countersunk.
2. To align the wood facing, adjust one or both
fence halves so they are in close alignment.
Micro-adjust and check the alignment with a
straightedge as shown in Figure 27.
3. If the wood fences are not parallel with each
other, shim the incorrect side with electrical
washers. Normal washers may work, but
electrical washers allow for fine adjustments.
