<DIV>Hello Bill, Tom and all;</DIV>
<DIV><STRIKE></STRIKE> </DIV>
<DIV>Construction is so simple that I believe you can follow my description
below -</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Get a piece of rectangular aluminum tube about 2” x 4” and as long as your
fence. What I used came from a commercial glass and aluminum shop and would be
called curtain wall framing.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cap both ends with a tight fitting wooden plug.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The 4” face of the tube will lay on the table so the fence will be 2”
high. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Drill a series of 3/16” holes about 1” apart in the 2” face and centred
about 3/8” above the surface of the table. The first hole should be
located a few inches before the saw blade and the last hole a few inches beyond
the far edge of the blade. Lightly countersink the holes to remove
any burrs.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Devise a way to secure this tube to the table saw fence.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Drill a hole in the 4” face of the tube and attach a fitting which accepts
the hose of your shop vac.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Connect the shop vac hose to the fitting.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please get back to me if you have any questions.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best regards;</DIV>

<DIV>Hello all;</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have a friend who builds model ships and I cut planking for him at
1/16” thickness from 4 ft. pine boards using a vacuum fence. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As the strip exits the saw blade the vacuum fence keeps the strip tight
to the fence and there is no chatter and the finished strip can sit between
the blade and fence with the blade spinning and not kick back.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I then stack up about 10 of these thin strips with short pieces of double
sided tape between the strips at each end to keep the strips at the ends of
the stack tight together. The middle portion of the stack is secured
with wraps of clear packaging tape at about 12” centers.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In this way I can produce 1/16” x 5/16” strips with no problem.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please get back to me if anyone wants a description of how to build a
vacuum fence.</DIV>

jig for cutting thin strips on my table saw is very basic, but when used
with a push stick works for me. I use a piece of wood with parallel
edges and a cleat tacked to the bottom so that it projects out ~1
inch. Put the jig between the fence and blade. Set the gap to
the width desired. Set your board along side the jig so that it rests
on the cleat and push through the blade. Use a push stick to hold the
board to the side of the jig.</DIV>

<DIV class=gmail_default
style="FONT-SIZE: small; FONT-FAMILY: comic sans ms,sans-serif; COLOR: #000066">If
you need longer strips set up an auxiliary "L" fence that ends at the front
edge of the blade. Clamp it to the fence and push stock through
finishing with a push block. You will need an outfeed roller or
support to catch the board and strip.</DIV></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
