Can I adjust the outfeed side of the fence to use this as a jointer?
189244
Technically Yes, with 4 ****, which means practically NO. The fence is one solid piece of aluminum, with two separate blocks of MDF (one on the Left of the bit, one on the right side) which are replaceable) There are two very small Ultra high density plastic/graphite rods about 1/8" diameter, that can be inserted into channels machined into the fence. The out feed amount is set -- you get only 2 options, and the amount is almost none. Less time and work to simply put a shim on the front of the infeed side. This model PRS2000 has a terrible fence design -- knuckle buster, and doesn't sit perpendicular on the table. PRS2100 is a better stronger table and they re-did the fence, after so many complaints.

Yes you can. I have a jointer, so I never really thought about it. I suppose you could use a straight router bit and bring the outfeed forward enough to compensate for the material you removed. I would certainly take it down in very small bites.

Yes, this table has that capability. By inserting the included spacer rods into the fence (between the aluminum fence and the white extensions) it will create a step between the infeed and exit side of the fence. The offset amount is 1/32 and 1/16 with this router table. Here is a link to the manual. See page 2 for jointing. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct;=j&q;=&e;src=s&frm;=1&source;=web&cd;=1&ved;=0CCkQFjAA&url;=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kregtool.com%2Fprodimages%2Frt10154.pdf&ei;=0jdUUqalB8SIrAGv94FI&usg;=AFQjCNEUT7Odo0nt_hq9jaaGCiF9p4v8IQ&bvm;=bv.53537100,d.aWM

No. Unfortunately you cannot adjust that, or the direction. I have the same issue and have to strategize when I do my back yard patio (I direct it at my house and then go back and direct that to the side of my house). I am trying to make some sort of "shield" out of hard rubber or plastic I can bolt to mine to modify it to direct the snow. The fact it only shoots straight up is the only big flaw with the unit I have encountered.

I think you can apply more pressure to the jointing edge on the Jet machine for a straight edge. The router fence could be subject to slipping with the same amount of pressure.

If you have any 90 corners you will need a corner brace to prevent the fence wires sagging between the posts on the straight sides. Also when you remove the fence you will have a lot of wire that needs to be wound up on some kind of drum/frame to allow reuse next year otherwise you will have an incredible mess of wire that will be impossible to reuse in in the future.

I didn't try it out, but it looks like you can. When you loosen one of the srews, it should be adjustable.

I'm not sure. Might want to contact the manufacturer. If not, you should buy a piece of 1/4 x 1/2 flatstock and if you can be real careful in setup(drill press with fence), you could drill new mounting holes and also drill and tap hole in the edge for fine adjustment to get you out to 5/8.

Not easily - it has two holes in back for mounting on a flat surface with two screws. Depending on the fence you might be able to rig something up, but that's not what its designed for.

Not with any practicality. Being a handheld tool, there's too much movement introduced by the user. A stationary jointer with a 6 in width and a 42 in bed would be a good place to start. They can be picked up used for $150-$200 and on up from there as size (and horsepower increases). This type of jointer is really good as a framing tool to take some of the crown out of studs and ceiling joists. With a little care, you can do much better than this too joining for glue-ups using a table saw with a good blade. The length of the fence makes all the difference.

It will work in either place, however, with the straight opening you will have to make sure you can angle both end sections at an angle for support and have something heavy to stand against the inside of the fence at each end.

It will require you to secure a base plate to the opposite end of the machine. You can make this base plate from a piece of angle ( aluminum or steel) screwed into the edge of the table. The wood plate attached to the angle and the carriage stop. It will be a pain in the neck changing things so you can use the saw. Can't use this setup for a saw fence. Not stable enough.

I guess you could with some type of jig or just adjusting the fence for each pass, but I have never used this method for box joints.

No. This was not designed to a jointer. This is designed to be flat and even so your routed piece comes out correctly.

yes adjust the rope, right side or left sided, to make swing level, then clamp it tight with the hardware supplied with swing. I placed a level on swing when I hung it from the branch of my tree. 2 people are best. I did cut excess rope after making sure it was level

Yes, different lengths available. Nice fence. Fyi, the 50" fence has considerable leverage and weight. On some saws the legs may not be close enough to the balance point, and a fence to the far right and a little extra weight may cause it to tip unless you place legs underneath. Mine is mounted on a Sears contractor saw that is mounted on a large wheeled platform/cabinet that allows it to be moved to a Varner of the garage when it is not being used. I designed it so that my snowblower or lawnmower fit right under an open end under the extended table to the right of the blade.

Yes. There is a detachable fence that you can adjust to biscuit varying thicknesses of wood. Hope this answer is helpful!

I don't see why not. The way the Fence is installed is with Tbolts and gets adjusted when the whole fence is assembled to the fence. If it can no be used on your bandsaw there are a ton of good options for the same price check out fine woodworking annual issue No. 230 tools and shops they do a bandsaw fence review and I'm sure amazon carries all the brands they talk about

Hi Michael you should have no problem. The mounting of the fence is adjustable the bolts run on a T track for different hole spacing hope this helps good luck and if you have anymore questions don't hesitate to ask its a great aftermarket fence happy bandsawing
