This fence was thrown in the bargain as part of deal on a Northfield #4 table saw I bought off eBay; also a Oliver (I think) miter gauge in the third photo. The miter gauge bar was re-ground from the standard T-profile so it would also fit the Northfield's dovetail table slots. They reground only the lower "T" portion. Note that the fence is complete except for the micro-adjust scale ring (that the arrow on the main casting should be pointing to). There are several washers where the graduated scale ring should be. Thanks to Bill Thomas, I have the correct dimensions to make up a reproduction ring. The paint color matches my Northfield 'cuz that's what I was paintin' at the time - obviously not an Oliver green!
