[TheForge] roper whitney notcher

[Jay Hayes]

Phil,

My notcher is a Tennsmith, but it looks similar to yours. The gauge 
stops are pretty simple to make. They are about six inches long and 
about 3-1/2 wide by 3/8 thick. One end is cut square and the other is 
cut to 45 degrees from side to side. Two 3/8 wide slots run the length 
about an inch in from each side, within an an inch of each end. The 
gauge stops are locked in place with a couple 5/16 bolts. The bolts have 
a large square head that rides in the curved slot under the gauge table. 
The heads on mine look like they were about an inch square and were 
welded on some all thread. Wing nuts with washers are on top of the 
slots in the gauge plates. I actually just use one bolt on each gauge 
plate most of the time, for quick setups.
