Hello all,
I am close to pulling the trigger on a CSC SYS 50 as it seems to hit most of the positives that fit my needs/environment; precision, small footprint, good dust extraction, relatively lower noise.
I note that one complaint Peter Millar has is the lack of a more precise method of adjusting the fence; despite the micro-adjustment capabilities of the blade height and angle, we are still left with the tap-tap-tap approach when it comes to fine adjustment of the fence. Not a deal-breaker by any stretch, however I recently came across the Canyon Fire MicroMag adjuster (canyonfiretools.com) which is designed to work most easily with fences and rails made from ferrous materials as it uses magnets. They do also have some solutions to deal with non-ferrous fences, for example they sell a right angled iron bracket that in principle would attach to the CSC SYS 50 fence--this gets one half way there. Now for the other end to work, it would need some part of the rail along which the fence travels to work with a magnet...
So if you'll forgive the long-winded lead-in, here's my question--is the metal measuring scale on the CSC SYS 50 made of aluminum or steel?
Cheers and thanks!
