I'm going to be doing some tricky edge cuts on my table saw, which is outfitted with the 32" Incra LS-TS positioner fence, and so will be constructing one or more auxilliary fences to lend more vertical support.  I've mapped out a few ideas in my head, but I'm just wondering if anyone else with this fence would care to share their auxillary fence designs?

Also any recommendations on good adjustable height featherboards?  I have the Magswitch Pro, which allows for stacking with the purchase of their vertical attachment kit, but I'm wondering what some other good options are.  Thanks.
 
The Jessem Stock Guides for that fence might be good for the vertical hold down of stock. I don't have the fence but have the Incra router table and the Jessem guides for the fence on that table. They have gotten good reviews, but are pricey. Don't know if that provides any direction. Incra says they're great, but . . . they sell them.
 
Thanks -- I have those.  But I'm actually cutting some large panels that while be riding along the edge, so Jess-em guides will be of no use.
 
I use 8020 15 series extrusions (EBAY) with my LS ( 3075 - two slot 3/4" thick/ 3" high) and my table saw fences (1545 - 1/5" x 4 1/2"). 
 
Huh....I didn't even think of that.  I see they also make a 6" one.  I've never messed around with the extrusions, but maybe if I don't think of or see a good wood one I'll try it out.  Thanks.

Are you looking for a fence that handles the height better?  Are you cutting tenons in large boards or what is the "project". Can you get the wonder fence portion for the LS?  I have it and use it on occasion and it works really well. Beats putting together your own thing.

Cheers. Bryan.
 
Initial project will be to cut a 70 degree miter on some panels for an oddly shaped box I have to make.  But I also want to start doing raised panel work with the table saw.

That 6" extrusion is a 3" x 6" and it is a beast, you can use the 1.5 x 4.5" high to attach any size auxilary fence neccesssary for stability.
