"Take the guesswork out of woodworking".... SHAN 270-BC30 and 270-BC50 Digital Scale kits for the Biesemeyer® and many PowerMatic 66 fences
|
The Biesemeyer fence is a great product with a
fantastic reputation, but we have made it even better. Here are some pictures of the SHAN
™ 270-BC30 horizontal scale mounted on the Biesemeyer BC30
fence. The 270-BC30 kit uses a customized SHAN 270-560 product
and special hardware to simplify the installation of the digital scale onto
your existing fence. The 270-BC30 kit has a 37" beam that provides
30" digital rip fence setting to the right side of the blade. The 270-BC50
kit uses a longer 59" beam to provides 50" rip capacity for the BC50
fence systems. The longer model can be used on the BC30 to provide rip fence
capability on both sides of the blade.
The digital scale body is fastened to the Biesemeyer box beam
by two 10-32 screws. The moveable sensor head of the 270-560 is coupled to
the fence angle iron by 2 special "dog point" drive screws,
included in the kit, that are mounted in the holes normally used
to hold the indicator hairline. These special screws engage a dowel hole in
the sensor drive plate. This allows the fence body to be lifted on and off
of the saw without any tools. This scale combined with the rock
solid design of the BC30 gives you accuracy of ± .001". The
scale also includes advanced functions that lets you easily do incremental
step cutting with out doing any mental math gymnastics. Conversion from
mm/inches and back at the touch of a button. This kit also works on many
PowerMatic 66 fence systems. Take the guess work out of your rip
fence settings with a SHAN 270-BCXX
series digital scale from Allen Designs LLC.
