500 vs 510/520 shaper fence differenc

Post by ibskot »

What is the difference? I have a 520 and I want to get one. Confused as to the difference to bid on.

Any pics would be greatly appreciated.

Others who are more knowledgeable will jump in, but I'm pretty sure that the 500 shaper fence won't fit the 520 table without modifications. The 500 fence clamps to the 500 table, where the 510/20 fence bolts to the table through those two mysterious holes in the table.

Table inserts are different, also.

Go to this link and even if you don't want to watch the video, scroll down to the ordering info and it states that the 500 fence will not fit the newer machines.
