Solutions for tight carriage (25" positioner)? It's fairly difficult to move the carriage, even when the fence isn't above the plate. Fixes?

It takes less than 4 pounds to move my slide. That is with an electronic kitchen scale. If the clamp is fully released there really is not much that could cause the slide to be difficult to move if the outboard end is not dragging on the table. The slide is restrained within the "V" section of the side and the plastic "L" shape on the bottom. I don't see an adjustment in the guides.

Didn't have the problem, waxed everything before use but doubt that would have solved your problem. have had great experience with INCRA customer service, call them.

Mine moves very smoothly over the whole range. I would call Incra and ask them directly they have always provided outstanding customer support.

Call incra, mine was the same, took a few calls in the end it now works fine.

I wedged some paper between grill and box frame on two sides, just less than 1/4 inch. That seemed to push the grill away from the blade enough. Maybe that will help. The loosening of the screws sounds good too.

It has been a few years since I did the set up but what I recall is that you need to make sure you have the fence just slightly above the table and then I found that applying a wax to the rails made the fence slide very smoothly. About every 6 months I reapply wax to the rails and it slides easily again.

Bob's answer is the first line of defense. I've also experienced that with the blade height adjustment, especially if you rip a lot of mdf. If it's that way out of the box, I'd ask "Is it sticky when the fence is removed?" If not, I'd adjust the back setscrew on the fence rails as one rail is probably fighting the other. Mine is as smooth as glass, so it's not systemic.

I had the same problem initially - the tension on the cables is a little too tight. After using it a few weeks, the tension slacked and the plates fit together just fine. This machine does require frequent adjustments and maintenance. Check the pins and bolts often.

I haven't found a solution to that problem yet. I try to position the holder high enough so there is the least amount of movement when not in my hand.

The same company sells metal post stakes that you can drive into the ground; you would need one for each side of the panel to secure it. If you plan to put a few panels together, there is also a 2" square post that can add stability in between 2 panels. Word of warning: the stake & post combination is not strong enough to secure more than a couple panels together. I wanted a full-length fence, and I ended up needing to do some cobbling together (I can explain in detail if you want to know.) That said, the fence is gorgeous. This IS high-quality lattice, thick & well made.

Just takes a little force. Make sure all sides are lined up then it should seat with some pressure. I also thought it went in a little hard but it did go with more force. Good luck. I really like my unit and I think you will too.

Very carefully. It took my husband and I the better part of a day to get the fence up. Take a deep breath and be prepared to have a lot of patience. I literally took it a piece at a time and unraveled it. If it was too tall at the top i'd start there and work my way down if too long at the bottom I'd try to start there and work my way up. I'm sorry I don't have a better answer, it wasn't easy. I wish I had never bought mine. Not happy with it.

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 love the mount and it can be very secure. You may have to press down hard on the turned down end of the rail to disengage the rail, and then pull the unit away along the rail.Cheers, Tom

I have a13 foot gate that I know weighs 300 lbs or more and put one wheel near the center, to help with the load of putting the wheel near the end. It's been there for over a month now and is holding up well. I have tried two other wheels and the didn't work. The ground is packed gravel but uneven. I plan on putting something in the ground along the wheel path for it to ride more smoothly. It's an easy mount on a chain link fence support rail. Good product for sure, time will tell if I am pushing it past it's limits.

I actually had the same problem and I called Schlage customer service. They were very helpful. In my case, I just had to tap the outside knob with a rubber mallet to get it to fully seat. It needs a harder "tap" than the inside.

I have my closed limit set so the gate is actually pushing against the closed pole. It's takes several times of trying to get the timing just right for the limit to set at the right place and before the current limit kicks in but once it is set the gate is held firmly in place. Try marking the ground where you pressed the limit set button as the gate crosses it. That way you can use a visiual clue and work the limit right up against the closed post. Be patient it will take several tries. Good luck

I used a tight ptrap. Like "Kraus PT-50CH P-Trap, Chrome". And use solid supply lines that won't droop

Move the trailer connection first!!! Also use a pipe for leverage on the bolts. They are really tight. All hardware included. It takes about an hour. A second set of hands is really helpful.

i believe the adjustment knob is spring loaded, just push down on it and turn at the same time. That should get your fence back in line. other than that i would refer to the owners manual.
