Makita 194935-6 rip fence Review

This original Makita accessory features a robust aluminum construction with increased thickness at tapholes for accommodating steel lock nuts, ensuring durability and long-term use. The fence is compatible with various Makita routers, making it a versatile accessory for woodworkers of different levels. It offers two pairs of clamping slots designed to accommodate connecting rods, making it ideal for use with a router. The first pair has an 115mm center distance and can hold up to 12mm bars. Two 10mm diameter and 45cm long black bars come with the package. The second pair, with an 85mm center distance, accommodates 9mm bars, providing you with the flexibility to use it with your router. The rip fence features a large, 260mm long aluminum support piece that has two adjustable plastic glide pads measuring 140mm long and 25mm high. These pads help reduce any scratches or damage to the material being worked on. Moreover, the pads can be moved up to 38mm and joined to create a broad surface area for better stability and precision. The rip fence also comes with a light that lets the user fit a 55mm diameter router bit. The fine adjustment range is 24mm providing a perfect opportunity to make slight adjustments to the material.
