12 – W2000 Rebel
®
For applications where the entire edge of the work-
piece is being shaped, the outfeed fence must be offset
by the same amount of material that you are removing.
Use a sample piece at least 12" long as a test piece.
Read and follow all safety procedures covered in this
manual before cutting a sample.

The Rebel
®
uses a two-piece fence adjusting system.
Each fence can be independently controlled. This sys-
tem has the advantage of allowing the two fences to be
offset from one another. In certain applications, such
as edge jointing, this offset is necessary to safely and
precisely machine your workpiece. In other instances
where the outfeed bearing surface is the same as the
infeed bearing surface, the two fences must be perfect-
ly aligned in the same plane. The split fence arrange-
ment gives you the flexibility to do both.
To move the fence, simply loosen the two fence lock
handles and slide the fence either forward or backward
and lock in position.
Depending on the size of the router bit and the amount
of material to be removed, adjust the infeed fence. The
infeed fence is the right hand fence as you are facing
the front of The Rebel
®
. Slide the infeed fence to the
back or to the front depending upon the desired depth
of cut. Use a good quality rule to measure the distance
between the miter gauge slot and the maximum arc of
the router bit. Transfer this measurement, less the
desired depth of cut, to both ends of the infeed fence.
You can also gauge the infeed fence by placing a sam-
ple piece of wood against the fence and sliding it up to
the router bit.

Both fences must also be perfectly parallel with each
other. Check each fence with a precision rule against
the miter slot. Add the offset amount, if any and mea-
sure the outfeed fence at both ends. If each end of the
infeed and outfeed measurements are the same, then
the two fences are parallel.

Adjust your infeed fence accordingly. Feed the sample
far enough so that the end of the workpiece extends
well beyond the cutter and overlaps with the outfeed
fence.

With the uncut end still supported by
the infeed fence, adjust the outfeed fence so that it sup-
ports the other end of the workpiece. After the outfeed
fence contacts the workpiece and is securely locked in
position, begin again with your test piece and make a
full length sample cut. If your workpiece catches on
the edge of the outfeed fence, then the fence must be
set back slightly for the workpiece to clear. On the
other hand, if everything clears but your are getting
snipe on the end of your workpiece, then the edge of
the outfeed fence needs to be brought forward.
