This was a pretty easy install. Put the risers on the fence and then the board guide on the risers. I kept everything loose to position and square the risers... marking them with blue tape so I could see if they moved when I took the board guide back off (you can't tighten the risers with the board guide installed on top). I tightened the risers, removed the tape, and then the board guide went back on and lined up beautifully with the tapped holes in the risers. Took about 30 minutes because I'…m slow at everything.You can see that I had added a sacrificial fence guard on the face of the fence and the guides had plenty of play to drop down and do their job. I could push them toward the blade even further if I thought I needed to. They guides flip up and tuck in nicely on top of the fence when I don't need them... it's also easy to pull them off completely and tuck them in a drawer if you're so inclined.I'm very pleased with the product and it works great.
A pain in the arse to install. Even a slight movement when tightening the stock guides to the bracket causes thread damage. I am going to try my own method for aligning the brackets (after fixing threads). I don't see why the experts didn't foresee this problem...
Very good product (like all products from JessEm). Getting the mounting kit installed on my Incra Fence was a bit of a trick. Machining is very precise and leaves no room for slop. You can't install all the hardware and screws loosely, position and then tighten down. That means that you have to take more care with the installation. Adds a little time but it is well worth it. It makes holding the piece flush to the fence a no brainer. Narrow pieces can be an issue. I had to find my old p…ush stick because I couldn't use my MicroJig push blocks but that isn't worth changing the rating over.
Like everything Jessem makes, every piece of this kit is heavy duty and high quality. 5 stars for that. Event he hardware, bolts, ect, are all first class. You get what you pay for and more.Not sure how I feel about needing to pay for a kit to make this work on my Incra fence. Then again, they can't make it fit everything.Installation was pretty simple and the set came with instructions. So mounting it was not much problem. Only thing that is lacking is where to place the each of the blocks tha…t the clear cut system attaches to. The instructions don't cover that. And Jessem is pretty good about the details, but not on that one. So it was a little fussing to get everything lined up properly. Not impossible, just a chore. Hope they can add that in future versions.Once installed, the clear cut stock guide system fit just right and it's all quite sturdy. I have not used the wonder fence, but looks like it is going to fit fine. Just lift the guides up and out of the way and shouldn't be a problem.Absolutely love the clear cut guides, so a little fussing to put it on is very worth it.One odd thing, well, was odd. The package includes a torx screw driver. Couldn't figure out what it was for, even after getting this mounted, doesn't fit anything on the unit. Come to find out it is if you use the included screws for mounting it to say a wood fence. Guess nice touch though. Course would traded it for better instructions. :)Not going to say buy this, because it's a necessity, but it is high quality.
