Developed specifically for narrow workpieces, its offset design makes it easier to guide the saw accurately while producing straight, repeatable cuts parallel to an existing workpiece edge. The fence can be adjusted for workpiece widths from 22mm to 185mm and is particularly useful when separating longer workpieces, splitting boards and panel materials, or producing straight grooves and channels. Its bilateral design provides flexible positioning on the saw, helping professionals achieve accurate results across a variety of workshop, installation and timber-processing applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccurate parallel cutting on narrow workpieces\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe offset fence arrangement positions the guide surface where it can remain securely supported against narrower material.
