This entry is for the fence on my Preston shaper.
It’s unusual for North American shaper fence, it’s very sophisticated.

Very similar to European ones.
The thing is heavy, I have to take it apart to lift it off.
The sides move in and out, they move backwards and forwards.
It has a chip chute out the back which collects most of the chips when connected to my dust collector.
All cast iron but the cap is aluminum.
