When I was researching ideas for a rip fence.

I realized that their was a slight issue I was going to have to overcome.

Transition words & phrases

Because of how I built this workstation, most of my rip capacity is on the left hand side.

Now I've learned to work around that by doing thinner rip cuts on the right hand side of the blade

So I needed a rip fence that going to be able to handle ripping from both the left and right side.

Now when dealing with somewhat more complex projects like this.

I like to actually break them down into smaller components

and then deal with those individual components by themselves.

So the first thing I want to do is build the carcass.

I'll start by ripping 3 and a half inch pieces of grade a preferred scrap.

Now the most complicated part of this is the front.

and a piece of quarter inch ply that is sandwiched in between the two.

The quarter inch ply is cut about an inch shorter than the two by 4.

Now below the quarter inch piece, I have drilled a corresponding hole from the two by four

Also, the three quarter inch ply gets a strip of hardwood attached to the bottom

So i'm going to take this one step at a time.

First I'm going to mark out the two by four.

Now i'm going to drill a slightly undersized hole for the head of the bolt,

Also, a common problem that I saw on some designs was the front would lock down ok.

But the back side would have a tendency to wobble.

So I hope that by adding this piece of hardwood that overhangs the edge of the table.

Well, essentially all it is is a big clamp with a straight edge to it.

And I'm by far not the first one to come up with it.
