I'm in the process of designing a table and fence setup for my new ras.
Wanting to get max crosscut capacity.
If I set the fence distance to get max cc on 3/4" stock, it would prevent cutting anything much thicker. Setting the fence to be able to cc 2" stock, cuts the cc by about 1 1/4".
How do others deal with this? On other ras's I have had, I just laid a piece of wood against the fence, to space it out.
I was thinking of mounting the fence for max cc with 3/4" stock. Then basically take a 2 x 4 +/- planed wood, cut a 3/4" groove the length of it on one side. Make 2 of these to straddle the orig fence, on either side of blade. It would be an aux. fence. A couple of screw studs, and wing nuts to hold to fence.
Or, just a 2nd fence to replace the one for 3/4" stock.
Anyone have a solution?

I long for the days when Coke was a soft drink, and Black and Decker was a quality tool.
