A Question for CMS Owners Regarding the Protractor / Fence Head

[peter halle]

I am seriously thinking about getting the CMS now and have been running things thru my head  [scared].  Will the fence / protractor assembly that fits on the sliding table actually mount and lock on the profiles on the side of the CMS itself?

Umm yes think so

Yes. I think it's supplied as a fence for the saw module in Europe.

It's the same as for the MFT/3 except it doesn't extend into the table as far.

Peter,

Go look at my post in the contest section, there is a picture of my MFT fence on the CMS sliding table in concert with the CMS fence. The bracket that attaches to the side rail is the same part on both. I like the arm that holds the fence on the CMS better than the one for the MFT because it is longer. The angle head on my CMS also seems to have a "better" detent.

I see myself using theses brackets/fences/angle heads together often.

Remember---it's a system.

Thanks Guys!  I just came up with a solution that I can't remember seeing before.  It eliminates one of my concerns about the CMS and what I want it to achieve.

Don't worry I will post about it when I get there.
