One of the most time-consuming and error-prone tasks in the woodshop is setting up the miter saw, especially for crown. The KIZEN Miter Fence System fixes that. It is safer, faster, more adaptable, and simpler to use than any other option on the market, period. Made in the USA, it fits just about any full-size 10" or 12" saw that has a standard 3.5" tall fence.
The most obvious feature of this tall auxiliary fence system is a pair of vertically adjustable red T-slot inserts that host push-in stops. With the stops on the fence, it means the saw can be used to perform other tasks without having to disassemble any tricky set-ups. A woodworker or crew can be set up to cut crown, then trim a few shelves, maybe miter a picture frame, and then come right back to finish the crown molding job. At most, one of the pins may need to be removed for a minute and then quickly replaced. That means the miter saw isn't set up for a single task that can create bottlenecks.
Because the stops can be placed anywhere in the insert, it's perfect for other applications besides crown like panel moldings, or even to hold down small or warped pieces of trim. The system also comes with micro-stop holes in the fence face for repeat cutting of parts to length, and the face slides left and right for micro-adjustment. The simplicity of the design is so original, it's brilliant. This had to be designed by a seasoned woodworker!
Have you ever needed to cut more than the fifty or so degrees at the limit of your saw?
Most of us have done something dangerous with shims and clamps or screws, and found religion while we made the cut. But remember those vertical T-slot inserts on the Miter Fence Pro? You can pop one of them out and drop in the Extreme Angle jig on either side of the blade.
This lets a woodworker safely chop very acute angles that used to lie in no-man's land. It's both simple and ingenious.
Their Jig Inserts also let woodworkers create their own jigs, such as a reverse 45° block for complex cuts (there's a video on the website), which lets the woodworker cut crown in the same orientation as it would be when installed against the ceiling. We all know how confusing it can be to mark the molding, reverse it, and then make an angled cut. It's a surprise when you don't make a mistake. This simple guide avoids that 'reverse psychology' and sets up the cut so it's intuitive.
For sensitive materials such as veneers and laminates, the two halves of the Miter Fence Pro can be set so close to the blade that they essentially deliver zero clearance, even at an angle.
The tips won't harm your blade and can be swapped out when needed.
Ever needed an extra hand? One of the best features of the system is clamping. Angled plates on top of the fence provide a base that makes clamps actually practical for a miter saw.
Anyone who has ever tried to tighten clamps against the uneven backs of most miter saw fences understands the magic here. The clamp can even hold nested crown, making measuring as easy as can be.
The components and accessories of the KIZEN Miter Fence System are interchangeable, allowing woodworkers to create their own custom system that is based on weight, price, capabilities, or even simply aesthetics.
