Title: SE-76 compatible with older universal support?
Post by: Mark H. on April 13, 2008, 08:39:52 AM
Just bought the new SE-76 for my 2000 unit to replace the older square edge jig.  I also bought the micro adjust universal support a few years ago when it first came out.  It seems my support doesn't have the threaded hole needed in the end for the stop on the new SE-76.  Has the micro adjust universal support changed?  Do I need to upgrade the support too, or can I just drill and tap the end of my existing universal support and make the stop fit?

If you want to use the stop, you can drill and tap -- or get a 5/8-inch  "doughnut" shaped rare earth magnet.  It does almost as secure a job of stopping movement, and is much easier to put on and take off.

Thanks Jeff, I'll give the magnet a try first.
