    The ebay aluminum miter fence bracket. Absolutely worth it!

    For when the particular listing goes bad, just FWIW, the Ebay seller in question is noteck1​. I ran into the mention of these here a good long time ago and never gave it much thought until I started chasing the issue with my rip fence, and figured I would upgrade my miter fence while I was at it...

    Well for starters, we are talking about a solid machined hunk of aluminum. I am not entirely certain of the MFG process though, there are patterns in this thing that make me think that this was made with one of those 3D printers that actually print in metals. Yes there is such a thing and it is wierd but hey who am I to judge right?

    First and foremost, this thing is ROCK SOLID. The pastic one always had some deflection that would cause the fence to move, or at least scare the fertilizer out of me.... This thing is absolutely NOT going anywhere.

    Highly reccommended!

    ​Now I need to move on to the fence clamper / roller holder and cleaning the glue off of my saw top... Not all my fault, some of this glue was from Larry.... (I wonder if he knows his old saw is still alive and kicking?)
    Only the Holder part # 969192001 is included. No other parts are included .

      I would get one if I needed a replacement, but my 23 year old original plastic one is still fine.

      Plus, I have Rod Kirby's shop made one he sent me when he retired his BT3; I use it, its set up on my long miter fence.

      If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

        My plastic one is still chugging along, but it lets my fence slip / flexes. This eliminates that problem. Considering the history of the saw not a huge surprise, there may be cracks in it I just haven't seen...

      Does anyone know if these are machined from billets or 3D printed? And yes there are 3D printers that print in metals...
