520 Pro Fence Received!!!

Post by davem1066 »

I received my 520 upgrade kit in 2 days! Installed VERY easily in about 1.5 hours (I took my time). Looks great and best of all is how nice the alignment tubes tighten down with the knobs underneath the rails. The 510 system just didn't quite work as well and was kind of a hassle with the finger screws behind the receiver rails in the table segments.

I have not used the table saw yet as I have to do an alignment to finish the installation. The fence is also VERY beefy compared to the 510 and does just drop down on top vs having to fiddle with the 510 fence to get it off the rails and back on--that was a pain.

Another bonus--I found a shopsmith air compressor for $20 and can't wait to see how that works! Back to my 54 Magna restoration...just received my new speed assembly so it's probably back to cleaning the way tubes and finish prepping the parts for prime and paint.
