In this video I'll be making a fence upgrade for a Dewalt DW745 Table saw.
The Dewalt DW745 contractors table saw is a very capable machine, and one of my most used tools in the workshop. My only complaint about it is the length of the fence. I have always wanted more infeed and outfeed, especially when cutting longer lengths of timber and sheet materials. I designed this fence to be removable in just a couple of seconds, and also built a new double pointer that indicates the width of cut both with the original fence, as well as the upgraded one.
You can build this project mostly from scraps and offcuts. I used 18mm MDF as it's what I had on hand, but you could use plywood or melamine with a similar outcome. It measures 1m long, adding 200mm to the front and back of the original fence, and 120mm high, adding 40mm in hight. This will also add more stability to any jigs that need to run along the fence, such as tenon or spline jigs.
I built this one mostly as a prototype to test the idea, so I'll use it for a few months and see if I need to make any changes before I build a final version.
