If you purchased the 36-905 Unifence without the acces sory 34-914 t able, a similar t able must be constructed,
preferably of p article board.
1. A 32 long by 27 wide t able should be constructed
using 3/4 inch material by following the dimensions
shown in Fig. 2.
2. T welve 9/64 inch diameter holes must be drilled
5/8 inch deep in the bottom side of the t able. These
twelve hole locations are shown in Fig. 2.
3. Three undercuts must also be made on the bottom
lef t side of the t able. The location of these undercut s are
shown in Fig. 2. The size of the undercuts are shown in
det ail in Fig. 3. NOTE: On saws other than Delt a, it may
be necessary to change the location of the three under cut s in the t able depending on the position of the table
