My tablesaw rip fence is a Unifence, popular with many Delta tablesaw owners. As with any rip fence, I sometimes need to attach an auxiliary wooden fence, or facing, to prevent damage to the aluminum fence when performing operations like sawing rabbets with a dado head. The typical approach with a fence like this is to drill holes through it for securing a facing with screws. Instead, I designed this setup to speed up the attachment.
I made the 3⁄4"-thick MDF facing wider than the height of the fence and screwed on a spacer for mounting three toggle clamps. Now it’s a matter of simply clamping the facing in place instead of messing with attachment screws.
