<p>REMOVABLE FENCE FOR TABLE SAW A removable fence for a table saw is positioned on a saw table by a locking mechanism located on the fence which simultaneously grips a pair of blocks mounted on an endless flexible cable. The locking mechanism engages the blocks and raises them into frictional relation with an L-bracket mounted on the table thus preventing movement of the fence. The blocks are affixed to the cable at points equidistant from the plane of the saw blade thereby insuring parallelism of the fence relative to the plane of the saw blade. Utilizing the flexibility of the cable which permits lateral movement, the fence is removed by releasing the locking mechanism and moving the blocks laterally away from the mechanism.</p> |
