Carter Products - Carter- Magfence II
Carter is ready to go out of the box with magnets that hold it to the saw table, but it's difficult to keep in alignment.
Oct 25, 2012
Although the Magswitch resaw system is assembled from components while the Carter is ready to go as is, the two fences are very similar in design, and their main asset—powerful magnets that lock them to the saw table with the turn of a knob—is also their undoing. With no way to keep the fence in proper alignment, you are forced to put a square on the front edge of the saw table each time you adjust the fence, or measure to the miter slot in two places.
Fine Woodworking Recommended Products
Dustopper Pro
The Dustopper attaches to a five gallon bucket, and collects 99.9% of dust before it reaches the vacuum. This saves the life span of your disposable vacuum bags and filters.
Veritas Micro-Adjust Wheel Marking Gauge
The adjuster runs through the beam from a small knob at the back end right to the cutting wheel, which moves in and out as you turn the knob. This arrangement works well but makes adjustments a two-handed operation, requiring a little more effort.
3M Blue Tape
One of the most versatile accessories to have in the shop: from layout to seaming veneer. It has enough stretch to pull joints together.
