Tablesaw Fence Setup Jig Tip
By Cliff Furman

Many times I need to rip some pieces, and may need to rip the same size pieces later, after moving the fence. I came up with the setup in the picture. Just slide the setup jig against the fence, and tighten the knob enough to lock the sliding arm to the piece in the miter slot, but not tight enough to lock it into the miter slot. Then remove the jig, to keep for resetting the fence to the same place.
I also use it on the other side of the blade, as a fence setting jig, for ripping narrow strips.
Works great, and took about 10 minutes to make.

Too simple == too cool
This would also work to set the fence parallel to the blade by checking the front and back of the table - great idea! I love cheap and simple = elegant!
DON'T KNOW WHY I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT!!!
I can see many uses for this jig, great idea! I'm off to the shop to build one.
