My 9 Project Plan Bundle (Includes this Project): ibuildit.ca/blog/the-9-plan-bundle/ While there's nothing wrong with my older fence design, I thought that this one would be an interesting challenge - to make a self-squaring fence that locks on the back as well as the front. I've had a number of people who have asked if this could be done and I figured now is as good a time as any to answer that! Yes, it can! And it works beautifully. See the build article for this project for more details: ibuildit.ca/projects/locking-table-saw-fence/

John, just got my plans yesterday and I am having fun just going through them. I really appreciate all of your projects and am in awe just how good you are. Thanks for the table saw fence, I think it will go great on my father's old craftsman. Thanks again.

your projects, works are the highest level of quality, it's like tools made to last, you're level festool, sawstop, Felder, your machine doesn't lose any quality for them, thanks for sharing 🙏.

You're projects and wood working skills are on another level of excellence. I love your speaker projects as well.

Great value for all those plans John! I plan to purchase ASAP! I bought and built the first version a couple of years ago. It does a wonderful job with complete accuracy on my vintage early 1950’s 113.xxxxx Sears Craftsman saw.

John, so glad you're back doing woodworking projects rather than electronics. You are an amazing builder, problem solver and inventor. Thank you for doing and sharing your processes and projects. I've been inspired in a huge way and in my opinion you are one of a select handful of the all time greats on youtube for sure! I've just purchased your plan pack and can't wait to build something great!

Great build John. As are all of your builds. You explain the ‘how-to’ very well and your plans (at least the ones I bought) are spot on and very handy for DIY’ers like me! Thanks mate!

Dang it, now I have to make the new version! I have the older version that only clamps onto the front rail and it has been working just fine so thanks for the brilliant plans for the old version. 🙂

I built the previous version which works quite well and is very accurate. The new updated one will be even more accurate as it locks front and back so will counteract any side pressure on the fence. Great job John and keep up with new projects, plans and videos. You are definitely an inspiration . Another plus with this type of fence is that it is hassle free to remove if you want to use a crosscut sled or need the sawtop for another purpose.

Ingenious design as usual. Good job John!

Great job! Can't wait to include this on my table saw rebuild starting next week, after I finish my slight adaption to your Miter saw station!

I'm always so impressed by your ideas, your designs, and your craftsmanship.. yet I'm always perplexed by how your videos tend to just.. stop. It seems a rarity that you spend even just a moment exhibiting the functionality of the stellar design you've just implemented, which is perhaps where the greatest sense of satisfaction comes from as a spectator. I presume the choice is deliberate, considering how calculated all other aspects of your videos are, but I've noticed that vacuum.. that unfulfilled desire to see what you've built in action time and time again at the end of more than a handful of your videos. Either way, always a delight to watch and learn!

John, I like to challenge my own knowledge and problem solving thinking to build things, also because I'm still a rookie in this area, but I'll buy your bundle because I love your channel and you deserve all my apreciation and recognaicence.

I built the previous one for Sears table saw. It is working very well.

As usual John, wonderful, clear, simple, informative and straightforward. Excellent work, again, as usual lol, thanks mate, great work, more power to you 👍😎👀

This man has so much knowledge and skill!! He’s got a sub for life! Great work sir!

Good timing! Having accidentally destroyed my fence built from your original plans, this one will be a great upgrade replacement - I'll buy the plans for this one too as I'm working on a new table saw build right now.

Don't Fence Me In....now I've got that song stuck in my head...thanks John... lol ;)

Great idea of back lock, very simple and clear design. Thanks a lot.

The original fence works so well for me. The plans and accompanying KZread videos made it a pleasure to build. I need to build another table saw now to justify the new fence!

Hey, router tables need fences too. Just saying!

that looks straightforward enough. Nicely done. Might try to adapt this to my saw.

I'm still in the process of building up my workshop (which involves gutting my garage, since it turns out it was put together so badly by the previous homeowner that I'm pretty sure it's illegal), but I still bought this plan bundle. Once I get the actual walls and electrical back in place, I'm going to be using these plans a lot! Thank you!

Awesome! Thanks!

thank you. I have built many of your fences, each one a little better, until I finally could afford a decent table saw, which has a good fence. Then, I realized my contractors saw fence was unusable. Built another one, works great for me, but if anyone else uses it, well, they always push to hard. Gonna build the new one for the contractors saw, and love giving you $$ because you give great content, informatively and practically.

You are one of the few that makes your own machines nice work and video.

Brilliant work, John! Nicely done! 😃 Something I've seen some people do is to add a piece of plastic in the sides of the fence... I don't remember the correct name now, but the one they use to make cutting board from. Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Great design, so simple yet i could have never come up with that! Only idea I would have to improve it would be to bevel the measurement pointer at a 45 or even 30° angle (like a knife) to make it a bit easier/ more accurate to read. That would also make it a bit more dangerous if not in use though.

Always love the projects John. But have to say, I love the 2112 shirt. Awesome album.

I got the plans and am putting the rest together today. Simple to build. I like it. I tweaked it a little but that is just because I have a very specific workbench. Your emergency stop in the video has a DIY push button. You may laugh at me but if you should hurt yourself God forbid and the insurance sees that you altered the switch, they may use this as a reason to not pay. The switch is UL listed and any modification will void the listing which makes it unsafe in the eyes of authorities. Ref. National Electric Code 90.7, 110.2, 110.3(B) and (C). Just looking out for a brother.

Great video I like the intense music at the end lol wish I would have seen this before I bought my fence last month lol oh well great build

Beautiful design!

Very Good!!!

Great job. Nice and smart like always...

Awesome project and Amazing choice of t-shirt

I made your original design which displaced sliced bread from the top of my list of Best Things. I too wanted to be able lock its rear end in place, but was leery of a mechanical clamp because that was what was on the fence that came with my table saw and it was unreliable. It tended to move the rear end of the fence slightly when I actuated the clamp. I settled on a switchable magnet which solidly anchors the end of the fence to the cast iron table when actuated. It has performed flawlessly. My only regret is I didn't think of it before I built the fence because then I could have easily made it actuated by the front lever instead of having to take the extra step of manually turning the magnet on/off.

Absolutely amazing!

Amazing as usual.

This is great! Thank you.

amazing as always

Amazing! Im Staying here 4 a little bit longer😉

Very ingenious design and precision build. This is the kind of design you can Patent or even register to protect your IP

This was great thanks! :)

Thanks again John for another brilliant design idea! Well done, Sir! Also, I notice you're using Robertson screws - yet another proud CANADIAN invention! (P.S.: LOVE the Rush t-shirt! The greatest band on Earth - still ANOTHER source of Canadian pride!)

I made the first one from your plans and haven't had an issue with it. Definitely a good improvement in the design though 👍

Great design! Good engineering and execution! With all that, please consider facing the 2 round portions contacting the front steel locking plate with SS or brass shim stock (~1/2 in.x 3 in.) so the wood is not worn by the steel. And these strip are forever replaceable!

Hi John, hope you're well, have a good one

Your wood shop is nice and clean.

WAIT!!! he used regular wood glue? Not construction adhesive? Invasion of the Body Snatchers is REAL!!! We now have PROOF!! LOLOLOOOLOLOLOLOLOLOL cool piece, been thinking of doing something similiar to my old Craftsman saw from the 90's that the stuck fence wont stay square to the table, it always rolls out at the back, think the square tube is actually bent!.

your skills are very good good job

I missed out on the bundle plan. Oh well. (Stupid surgery, LoL!). Great build as always. I need to build a better fence for my old Craftsman contractor saw. But first I'm going to build it into a cabinet so I have a larger working surface. Before the comments start, I've heard and read all of the "vibration" complaints about my particular saw and I honestly don't have that problem since I tuned up my table saw using Stumpy Nubs advice. My antique saw cuts like butter, straight as an arrow and has almost no vibration. Sadly though, with the original fence I only have a 13" max cutting width. If I want to cut wider than that I have to do it with a circular saw or eyeball it on the table saw and dangerously without a miter gauge or fence. I'm sorry, but free hand on a table saw is not appealing to me. LoL.

I am interested in the build of your table saw cabinet and top are videos and plans available?

Could you do a video on your take of retractable casters for a workbench??

John, love your videos. Would this fence be able to work with my little rigid job site saw? Thanks

Good job mr: heiz How about making a thickness planer

Hi John I first would like to say that I enjoy your videos! I made the previous version. With this new fence, would I also have to make a new fence rail??

Hi. Very nice. I was wandering why you opted for a flat bar to lock the back rather than a round pin which would be far more accurate and then add a thin steel or aluminium strip along the back edge of your table for contact?

You sound a lot like 'Chef John' Mitzewich, pretty wild !!

Love the rush shirt

Love the 2112 shirt!

RUSH!! 🤘🏼

Epic shirt!

John, you mention that you made a jig to mount the rail but you did not mention in the video, or the article regarding the build nor in the plans what hgt the rail needs to be mounted at in relationship to the table saw top. Also part A (rail face that mounts to table) you not it to be 2-1/4 tall but you are mounting yours under the overhang of your table top. I figured this out only after I cut the piece per your directions. My table top is flush with the table edge.

Building it right now and running into this. What height did you make yours?

@JohnHeisz

Жыл бұрын

I can't give an exact measurement because plywood varies in thickness. When the fence rail is mounted at the right height, there will be a small gap between the fence and the top of the table saw. Use the fence itself to help install the rail at the right height and adjust as needed.

Buy the plans, build it and make that happen.

About to build a new fence for my new home made table saw and again jumped on your channel since I've used your old design building a fence in the past. Now about this new design... Correct me if I'm missing something, but as I see it the threaded rod doesn't contribute at all clamping the back side of the fence configured this way. What I'm thinking is 2 nuts are needed, thightened 1 on each side of the metal plates (front side) and the threaded rod itself musn't be on the handle itself, but over the pivot point of the metal plates, which in this case is the screw that holds them to the fence. This said, the screw that holds the metal plates must be somewhere in the middle of them, not on the top. This way clamping down with the handle would pull the rod together with the metal plate on the back. Otherwise I really can't figure out how the rod is helping?

Exelente gracias

Bellissima!
