No one has posted anything lately. So I thought I'd throw sumthin up on the
wall and see if it sticks.

Tablesaw 
I just installed an expensive Incra fence on my tablesaw. Accuracy to 1/1000
of an inch --which is a bit silly for wood which can expand and contract 2-5
percent or more.

I needed an intermediate standard for my Sinar 4x5f so I could use two
bellows. 

Prior to the Incra I made my own Sinar standard using Baltic Birch Ply and
my old Bessemer (knock-off) fence. Worked OK, but not precise. I couldn't be
accurate enough and Baltic Birch which is terrific plywood was not up to the
task.

With the Incra fence and maple however I was able to fairly quickly rip down
a molding profile which included the little lip that fits into a groove on
the Sinar bellows mounting. It was as advertised like turning your tablesaw
(in my case a budget General Table saw) into a milling machine.
