Questions and Answers

Overview

This document is a user manual for the Craftex CX-Series Model CX230 / CX250 fence system, designed for use with table saws. It details the physical features, installation, adjustment, and parts diagrams for both the 30" and 50" versions of the fence. The manual also includes a Craftex 3-year limited warranty policy.

Function Description:

The Craftex CX230 / CX250 fence system provides a precise and stable guide for cutting operations on a table saw. Its primary function is to ensure that the workpiece is held parallel to the saw blade, allowing for accurate and repeatable cuts. The system includes a fence body, front and rear fence rails, and a scale for precise positioning. The fence can be locked into position using a lock lever, and its parallelism to the miter slot can be adjusted using levelling set screws. The scale allows users to set the fence at specific distances from the blade, enhancing cutting accuracy.

Important Technical Specifications:

The manual outlines two models: CX230 and CX250, corresponding to 30" and 50" fence capacities, respectively.

Usage Features:

  • Easy Installation: The manual provides clear, step-by-step instructions for installing the front and rear fence rails, including how to insert hex bolts and secure end caps.
  • Quick Locking Mechanism: The fence features a lock lever that allows users to quickly secure the fence in position on the rails.
  • Precise Scale and Cursors: A scale is provided for accurate measurement, with cursors to indicate the cutting position. The scale can be adjusted to ensure the "0" mark aligns with the cursor hairline for precise cuts.
  • Adjustable Parallelism: The fence's parallelism to the miter slot can be adjusted using levelling set screws, ensuring consistent and accurate cuts. This is a critical feature for maintaining woodworking precision.
  • Model-Specific Bolt Quantities: The manual specifies different bolt quantities for the CX230 (twelve hex bolts) and CX250 (eight hex bolts) during installation, indicating tailored designs for each model.

Maintenance Features:

  • Adjustment Procedures: The manual outlines specific adjustment procedures for fence parallelism and scale installation/adjustment. These procedures are crucial for maintaining the accuracy and functionality of the fence system over time.
    • Fence Parallelism Adjustment: Involves disconnecting power, aligning the fence with the miter slot, locking it, checking alignment, unlocking, flipping the fence, and adjusting set screws. This ensures the fence remains parallel to the blade.
    • Scale Installation and Adjustment: Requires the machine to be off and unplugged, raising the blade, positioning the fence against the blade, carefully positioning the scale, aligning the "0" mark with the cursor hairline, and performing a test cut to verify accuracy.
  • Parts Diagrams and Lists: Detailed exploded diagrams and comprehensive parts lists for both the CX230 and CX250 models are provided. These resources are invaluable for identifying specific components, facilitating ordering of replacement parts, and understanding the assembly of the fence system.
