Fence Slide Pad Kit
The R4512 fence uses plastic guide pads that provide the sliding interface between the fence head and the rail. These pads often have excessive clearance, allowing the fence to pivot away from the miter slot axis before the cam-lock engages. Replacing these with higher-tolerance pads or shimming the existing ones ensures the fence stays registered against the front rail during the clamping sequence.

Rip Fence Assembly
In cases where the fence frame is bowed or the internal tensioning rod has lost structural integrity, the entire assembly fails to maintain parallelism. The locking mechanism utilizes a rear hook that pulls the fence forward; if this internal geometry is compromised, it cannot pull the fence square to the front rail regardless of adjustment.

Front Rail Mounting Hardware Kit
Alignment issues often stem from the front and rear rails not being perfectly co-planar. If the mounting bolts are not torqued correctly or the rail is tilted, the fence will deviate as it slides along the length of the table. Ensuring the rail-to-table interface is orthogonal is critical for the fence's T-square functionality.
