Remove the wing knob and T‑Bolt and rotate the stop body 180°. Replace the wing knob and T‑bolt. Figure 7

This Adjustable Flip Stop is extremely versatile and quickly converts from INBOARD to OUTBOARD position for a variety of applications. The wedge design reduces any slop or side movement. In addition, the flip arm can be easily moved from right to left to match your feed direction requirements. Loosen the T‑bolt knob and slide the flip stop into the top T‑Slot of the fence. The flip stop is multi‑functional and can be adjusted for several different applications. Figures 8 and 9

In the INBOARD position, the stop works with single wide multi-track fences and functions as an easily adjustable stop. In the OUTBOARD position, the body rotates and the flip arm moves out. In this position, the stop can work with multi-track fences and sacrificial wood boards.

NOTE: For OUTBOARD settings:
Maximum material thickness 23/32″
Maximum material height 2-1/2″
