Hi peeps
I took advantage of a recent Axminster offer to buy the UKJ mitre fence for £49 instead of normal £90+. It’s a nice bit of kit short fence with and end stop and the presets on the mitre angles are pretty tight when the mitre is untightened and solid when tightened.
I had planned to use it on my Axminster HB310 (if memory serves) bandsaw. Problem is the mitre bar doesn’t fit the mitre groove. I happen to have a length of UKJ mitre track that intend to add to my home build router table. The mitre in unsurprisingly fits nicely. The UKJ mitre bar is a few thou wider than the awful mitre that came with the band saw but over 8” that’s enough friction/interference to make it unusable.
So i’m Wondering if there is any relatively straightforward way to widen the mitre track on the bandsaw a few thou, ideally in situ without removing table to a workshop to mill. Mostly because the design of the table is an utter barsteward to build and thus strip down thanks to some non captive inaccessible fasteners.
Any help much appreciated.
