    Default Table Saw - Tape Measure

    This may be a rather unusual query but I just bought and installed a JET aftermarket fence for my tablesaw.

    When I attached the front rail I followed the instructions in the book however it looks like the instructions were probably for JET saws as the inbuilt measurement guide is way way off. (ie tape measure looking guide on the rail)

    Rather than taking the rail off again (I am sick of doing it) and drilling yet more holes into my cast iron table top.....can you buy say stick on tape measures does anyone know?

    If so where would I get one from?

    Don't know if this would do the job you want it for but Carba-tec sell a Kreg Adhesive Tape. It is 1/2inch wide and metalic, Not sure of the length though, it doesnt say in the catalogue. If you have the current Carba-tec catalogue, it's on page 213 priced at $17. Hope this might help.

    An afterthought, you can buy a quilters tape from a store such as Spotlight and they come in long lengths and are very cheap. Could glue on probably.Take a look Here

    Don't know what sort of fence you have, but on some of them you can adjust the position of the cursor (the lense with the line on it).
