March 30, 20215 yr Popular Post While I was working on my boat last weekend I had to run over and use my sons shop and while I was there I noticed he was setting the drift on his band saw blade/fence and using a tool I have never seen. It’s made by Carter and it works very well. I brought it home to try it and it makes for very fast and accurate alignment of the fence to the blade drift. Really beats my old method of making a trial cut and then adjusting the fence. Paul
March 31, 20215 yr Author After using this tool I’m impressed. The cut on the bandsaw was close to perfect. They are about $45 for the set which comes in 1/8” increments up to 1/2” and can then be combined to get wider but that’s for aligning a magnetic fence system to a specific cut width. I use a traditional fence system on the Grizzly so that doesn’t come into play. This is a great concept but could very easily be made from a block of hardwood and a round magnet for about 50 cents or less. Paul
