I thought I would share this simple technique for micro-adjusting (within -0.001) the fence on CMS it also applies to any other stop you might have.

I use this dial indicator method when needing to sneak up on a dimension where a close fit is required.

These dial indicators were $19 each on amazon

I used the Crown Stops from the Kapex to help clamp them in-place. Nice how all the Festool stuff works together !

I needed to machine this slot as a tight fit. Simple to adjust when you can work to 0.001 !

Works just as well on the MFT stops although I admit it's less likely to be needed here still nice to have the option

[attachimg=#]

Same thing for the Kapex

Works really well for adjusting the Table saw fence these dial indicators have a 1 inch travel more than enough to dial it in.

Thanks
Terry
