comp56 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 so as you have seen I picked up a Milwaukee 6955-20 the other day so I figured I'd make a proper stand seeings I don't think I will be replacing it for some time.I wanted to add a measurement indicator on the fence and wanted it in such a way that it would not wear off or come off. So before I covered the fence with acrylic I would print in reverse on the backside and then paint the acrylic red, this way I can run wood along the fence for a long time and not worry. I generally don't work with boards longer than 8 feet and usually are cutting them down to 3 feet or less. so here is the acrylic with the printing in reverse before paint up to 36".as you can see it starts at 13 3/8" which is the exact measurement from the right side of the blade to the beginning of the wing I'm adding. I also put the printed measurement approx. 1/2" off the bottom so it can be seen easier with most wood that is cut. chances are thinner wood will be cut far less often.in order for this to work I had to make sure the indicators were true and as it turns out it is pretty much bang on across the full length. I had to add a Milwaukee logo somewhere so what better place right in the middle it is also all in reverse so it will not wear off as well.... I have a few things to do on one side and a bit more on the other side then I will add some shelving along the bottom... here it is so far....I will post more as I get further along.....(still working on the un boxxing vid as well) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Glassey Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hey Comp. is that in inches or millimeters? Looks so good. I'm going to have to steal your design. Sorry for the millimeters shot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comp56 Posted January 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 thanks guys, well got the other side done, I decided to put measurement indicators on the left side as well, I realize they go backwards which was confusing as crap but may come in handy. The saw fence has a slide out for beveling so I had to comply with that as well...... here it is with center, right and left angles..... and against wall when not in use......still going to add some shelving below it...... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
