Installation of the Shop Fox
®
Fence is quick and
easy. Installation involves mounting the front and
back rails to your table saw and then attaching the
fence to the rails. On some saws, the mounting
holes for the rails will match the existing rail
mounting holes. On other saws where the mount-
ing holes do not line up, it will be necessary to
drill and tap new mounting holes in your table top
edge. We’ve supplied you with a drill and tap for
this purpose. If you are uncomfortable with the
tapping process, through-bolting may be used as
an alternative. If through-bolting, make sure you
have access to the backside of the hole and that the
table webbing will not interfere with the nut and
bolt before attempting this method.
Before beginning installation, measure your table
saw top from front to back. The Shop Fox
®
Fence
comes preset to fit on tables measuring between
26
5
⁄8'' and 27
1
⁄4''. If your table top is not within this
range, refer to the

ther instruction.
