Abstract
An adjustable rip fence for a machine tool has a stationary rail and a movable rail. The fence is mounted to the movable rail. A set of shims are located between the two rails in order to eliminate any play between the two rails. The shims are sized such that the shims associated with the movable rail are able to pass over the shims associated with the stationary rail to provide complete adjustability to the movable rail and thus the fence.
