Incra TS Fence Miter Cross Cut Spacer
Description
When crosscutting small pieces it's best to use a spacer on the infeed side of the fence to ensure your workpiece/cuttoffs don't get trapped between the blade and the saw. In the past I used a 1-2-3 block and an over-fence clamp. I've recently modeled the extruded fence so I could create jigs that utilized the T-slot. This is the first such jig. It has a good friction fit, so it doesn't need a clamp, but I included a hole to take a Milescraft type over-fence clamp if desired. (The hole is also a friction fit, so you have to work the rod in the first time.) I made it exactly 1" thick, so I could just add an inch to my fence position to get it in the right position. But, since there's a magnetic rule, you can also calibrate the fence with the spacer block set adjacent to the blade to get it to almost zero-thou tolerance. (Since we are working with wood, and really should mostly care about "same" lengths, not exact, it's probably overkill.) Since I have the Jessem holddowns, with a mounting bar that overhangs the back of the fence, I also made a spacer for times when I want to use the clamp. The spacer is included in the files. I've included the SketchUp file in case someone who doesn't have the Jessem hardware and wants the spacer coplaner with the top of the Incra fence wants to scale the top down.I would suggest selecting the top plane along with the hole and do a move down in the z direction so you preserve the depth of the hole. I also included my SketchUp file for the extruded fence in case someone wants to develop something else from it.
