The table fence is 2 x 3/16" aluminum with 1/2" keystock mounted to the bottom. The keystock mates with the top of the T-slots in the table. The keystock has dowel pins that mate with 1/8" steel at the bottom of the T-slots. The knobs thread into the 1/8" steel and clamp the fence tight to the table. The t-slots are a bit rough, but the fence moves in and out pretty darn parallel to the shear. For accurately shearing narrow stock there are dowel pins set into the top of the fence that accept a modified depth stop caliper.
