Machinery fence support facilitating fence movement in a direction perpendicular to a length of the fence
In one example, a machinery fence support system comprises a worktable having a recess therein and a cutting element protruding upwardly from the worktable. The system has a track which is slidably received within the recess of the worktable. A bracket connected to the track; and a sacrificial fence is adjustably connected to the bracket. A track system is connected to the sacrificial fence and a stop assembly connected to the track system. The track slides within the recess of the worktable such that the sacrificial fence passes over the cutting element such that a beaded face frame feature is cut into a workpiece.
1. A modified machinery fence support system comprising:
a worktable having a planar upper surface and a recess extending a length therein;
the worktable having a cutting element protruding upwardly therefrom;
the cutting element having an axis of rotation that extends perpendicularly to the planar upper surface of the worktable;
the cutting element having a trapezoidal profile;
a track slidably received within the recess of the worktable;
a bracket connected to the track;
a sacrificial fence connected to the bracket;
a track system connected to the sacrificial fence;
a stop assembly connected to the track system;
the sacrificial fence positioned in approximate perpendicular alignment to length of the recess and a workpiece placed against the sacrificial fence;
wherein when the track slides within the recess and the workpiece and sacrificial fence passes over the cutting element a beaded face frame feature is formed in the workpiece;
wherein the beaded face frame feature is a notch.
2. The modified machinery fence support system of claim 1 wherein the track system is removably and replaceably connected to the sacrificial fence.
3. The modified machinery fence support system of claim 1 further comprising a guard connected to a back side of the sacrificial fence and aligned with the cutting element.
4. The modified machinery fence support system of claim 1 wherein the bracket is a miter gage which is angularly adjustable.
5. The modified machinery fence support system of claim 1 wherein the sacrificial fence is adjustably connected to the bracket.
6. The modified machinery fence support system of claim 1 wherein when the track slides within the recess the sacrificial fence travels in a direction parallel to the length of the recess.
7. The modified machinery fence support system of claim 1 wherein the notch has a trapezoidal profile.
8. The modified machinery fence support system of claim 1 wherein the notch has a flat center wall that connect to a pair of opposing angled sides.
9. The modified machinery fence support system of claim 1 wherein the notch has a flat center wall that connects to a singled angled side.
10. A modified machinery fence support system comprising:
a worktable having a planar upper surface and a recess extending a length therein;
the worktable having a cutting element protruding upwardly therefrom;
the cutting element having an axis of rotation that extends perpendicularly to the planar upper surface of the worktable;
the cutting element having a trapezoidal profile;
a track slidably received within the recess of the worktable;
a bracket connected to the track;
a sacrificial fence connected to the bracket;
a guard connected a back side of the sacrificial fence and aligned to cover the cutting element;
a stop assembly connected to the track system; the sacrificial fence positioned in approximate perpendicular alignment to length of the recess and a workpiece placed against the sacrificial fence;
wherein when the track slides within the recess and the workpiece and sacrificial fence pass over the cutting element a beaded face frame feature is formed in the workpiece;
wherein the beaded face frame feature is a notch.
11. A modified machinery fence support system comprising:
a worktable having a planar upper surface and a recess extending a length therein;
the worktable having a cutting element protruding upwardly therefrom;
the cutting element having an axis of rotation that extends perpendicularly to the planar upper surface of the worktable;
the cutting element having a trapezoidal profile;
a track slidably received within the recess of the worktable;
a bracket connected to the track;
a sacrificial fence connected to the bracket;
a flip stop arm connected to the sacrificial fence;
a stop assembly connected to the track system; the sacrificial fence positioned in approximate perpendicular alignment to length of the recess and a workpiece placed against the sacrificial fence;
wherein when the track slides within the recess and the workpiece and sacrificial fence pass over the cutting element a beaded face frame feature is formed in the workpiece;
wherein the beaded face frame feature is a notch.
