Ripping boards too wide for rip fence mounted on main table, and too narrow for rip fence mounted on extension table. The rip fence does not simultaneously mount to both(bridging). It is only suitable for use with a 9" blade, but a 10" can be used as long as the table is not lowered ONTO the blade.
There has been discussion regarding the rip fence bridging, but I think the extra slot indicates the designers were not of the opinion that bridging was a good idea.
All this relates to Mark 5's and Mark V/500 only.
