FAQs
What is the purpose of the metal bar?
The metal bar is used to slide the mitre fence along the table's mitre slot, allowing for controlled angle cuts.
How do I set angles other than -45, 90, and +45 degrees?
Use the scale with the 5-degree pitch for incremental adjustments beyond the preset stops.
Can I use this mitre fence with a pre-built table?
Yes, but you will have to adapt it to the table's mitre slot.
How do I ensure the fence is perfectly aligned?
Use the spring-loaded locator for 90-degree positioning and the centering scale for finer adjustments.
How should I clean the Trend Mitre Fence?
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to remove any sawdust or debris.
What materials is the fence made of?
The fence has a protractor body and a metal bar.
What is the degree scale increment?
The degree scale has a 5-degree pitch for angle adjustments.
Troubleshooting
Fence does not sit flush with the table.
Check and adjust the mounting of the metal bar to ensure it is level and correctly aligned.
Angles are inaccurate.
Verify the settings of the adjustable stops and the accuracy of the scale. Recalibrate if needed.
The fence moves during operation.
Make sure all the locking mechanisms are tight and secure before making cuts. If the fence still moves, check if the table surface is level and the fence slides smoothly.
