Bosch GTS 635-216 parallel fence adjustment

thingiverse

Calibrating the parallel fence is a bit annoying, so i made some adjustable stop blocks and a more compact gauge holder. Insert stop block 1, insert gauge holder, then insert stop block 2 to the same T-nut. Put parallel fence in contact with stop block adjustmentscrew close to the parallel fence clamping mechanism. Clamp parallel fence. Screw stop blocks in contact. Measure distances with the gauge. Adjust fence such that the backside has 2-5/10mm more distance than the side at the fence clamping mechanism. Parallel fence shall never be 100% parallel to the t-nut/blade to minimize risk of clamping wood inbetween sawblade and fence. Otherwise stuff similar to kickback can happen. Print 2x this t-nut stone in addition to the gauge holder: (thanks to rapsme!) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4118646 Gauge holder: 2x M6x16 + 2x M6 Washer + 2x M6 Nut Stop blocks each: 1x M5x10 to clamp the block inside the t-nut 1x M5x50 (estimated) as adjustmentscrew in contact with the parallel fence.
