Description
Description
The Woodpeckers Auxiliary Rip Fence transforms any standard table saw rip fence, whether it’s new or decades old, into a precision cutting powerhouse. Designed for the woodworker who values both accuracy and safety, this auxiliary fence is longer, taller, and straighter than typical rip fences, giving you a more reliable reference edge and enhancing stability throughout your cuts. With a robust extruded aluminum construction and 7 integrated T-tracks, the Auxiliary Rip Fence opens up a world of possibilities for adding featherboards, stops, and jigs, while its unique design fits nearly any table saw fence.
Unlike the plywood fence faces that can warp and twist from temperature and humidity changes, the Auxiliary Rip Fence’s ribbed extruded aluminum design offers unwavering stability. Clamping this fence onto your standard rip fence gives you a straighter, sturdier surface, reducing the need to balance your workpiece while feeding it through the blade. At 48 inches long and over 3-1/2 inches tall, it provides ample support for larger projects and is ideal for tackling everything from plywood sheets to long boards.
Securing the Auxiliary Rip Fence to your existing table saw fence is simple, thanks to precision-machined aluminum clamping blocks. Just use standard track clamps. With a total thickness of exactly 2 inches, this setup means you can still use your existing fence scale—just add 2 inches to your desired measurement, set your fence, and you’re ready to go. Installation and removal take seconds, giving you flexibility without compromising setup time.
Position the Auxiliary Rip Fence wherever it’s needed: ahead of the blade, behind the blade, or spanning both. This flexibility improves cut quality and boosts safety by allowing you to control the position of your fence surface. The Auxiliary Rip Fence can be configured to match the job at hand:Standard High Fence Setup: Ideal for cutting larger pieces, box lids, and raised panels, offering high support.
Low Fence Setup: Lays flat with only 5/8" above the table, perfect for thin rips without interference from push blocks.
L-Fence Mode: Use your table saw to joint edges or make non-parallel cuts with a template—no jointer required.
