The problem I had with my Vega fence was that the micro adjustment portion never locked very well. It would slip when making fine adjustments- especially if I had added any fence attachments. Usually I just took a piece of wood and whacked the locking lever to force it tighter.

 

After seeing what Cliff had done with his new fence, the light bulb went on! More leverage equals more pressure. Cliff added a long handle to his fence lock. Why couldn't I do the same?!?

The length of the new lever is about twice that of the old one and seems to do the trick rather well- Thanks Cliff!!

 

 

Not all lathe work has to end up as a bowl setting on a shelf or an ink pen in the back of a deck drawer
