False T-Bolt Handle

If it weren't for the 1/4" threaded handle for the 5/16" T-bolt, I think this would be a quality fence flip. I called PowerTec support just to send me the correct pin. They said they couldn't do that, had to go through Revain's return/replacement process. I am assuming that a poor quality batch came out and it is likely that the replacement product will have the same discrepancy. But only time will tell.

Pros
  • Optional: In the inside position, the stop will work with 2-1/4" wide multi-lane stops. In the outside position, it can work with multi-lane fences with sacrificial boards. This fence is designed to work with a universal or wider T-bar works and will not fit a ΒΌ" T-bar.
Cons
  • Not the best

POWERTEC 71135 2-1/4 " Woodworking Bevel Fence

Purchased for use on Kreg T-Track when I needed a 2.25" stopper. Looks like it will the size of the t-track varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, the screw does not fit the hreg t-track and is difficult to fit into the rockler, too wide for tracks, top round bottom made of cheap material after modifications overall ok, but on Pay attention to the T-rail

Pros
  • Application: Provides more efficient and effective fence-based operations on table, miter and band saws, drill presses and routers. Ideal for cutting odd cuts (no adjustments required) or upgrading cross-cut slides and other assemblies. Maximizes the benefit of any operation that uses a fence based setup.
Cons
  • Some small things

Read Before Buying

I am ashamed that I did not read carefully before buying. Two things should have caught my attention. First, it comes with a 5/16 screw, not the more standard 1/4 that some of us use for jigs and jigs. Second, the swing arm is only 2 1/4 inches long, which limits the height of the stop. My use is a fence extension for my home miter saw. I've considered simply bolting a "regular" T-track to the edge of a 3/4" thick board fence to use this stop. But then I would have lost about 1/4" more, even if

Pros
  • Unique Features: Create optimized rail top settings in your versatile T-track assemblies with this improved and updated Upper Guardrail Flap. Can be used with both single and double T-rails as well as with multiple rails! Conveniently converts from inside to outside position when needed and can be set to move in either direction (according to your feed direction requirements) from either position. Make perfectly even, repetitive cuts every time.
Cons
