I had a small. portable 10" tablesaw. like you might see at a job-site. During one of several moves from place to place, it's "stock" fence was lost. Of course, then I needed to rip some boards with it, figures. I had some scraps, and a couple screws, maybe I ought to make one for this little saw? I came up with a simple, bare-bones, fence that can be "C" clamped to the saw's fence rail. Just a good square corner on the plywood "base", a hardwood (oak) cleat, and some 1x stock as the fence itself. I aligned the plywood along a miter slot, and the edge of the saw. i clamped it down, and screwed through the plywood into the cleat. I then flipped this over, and using the straight edge of the plywood as a guide, I screwed the 1x in place. Now, this piece is only about an 1- 1-1/2" tall. IF I need a "taller" fence, it is easy to replace with another taller board. a picture or two…
Plywood and that cleat, before they were screwed together..
In operation. just a pair of C-clamps
