Sage X Guide Placement Question

Shopkeeper · Nov 24, 2016

Could use some help...

Spinning up a couple Sage X blanks and Sage actually has the spacing chart up on their website; however, it lists distances from the tip in measurements I'm used to (4-3/4...17-1/2...etc) but it also lists distances I can't for the ;life of me decipher, like "10-20/29" & "33-47/50" & "25-14/25."

I wrote to Sage last week for an explanation and heard nothing back...Anyone here have any idea what those measurements are?

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving!

It looks bad translation from decimal to fractions. 25-14/25" = 25.56" vs 25-9/16" = 25.5625".
I checked a few of the X blank spacing vs the equivalent One spacing and they are the same within a few hundredths of an inch (or less).
Just calculate the closest 8th or 16th and place the guides. Then static test to determine final spacing.
Blanks tend to have a lot of variation, so the recommended spacing isn't always best.

Thanks...Never have been very good at math

I used One spacing on the first X I built and it was a good fit. Wanted to check against these numbers out of curiosity but I'd have stared at them till the sun burned out.

Thanks again.
