Thought a photo may help and this shows the rear thrust bearing position. The square blocks are set either side, just off the blade, but the thrust bearing needs to be behind the blade. Set it up so that it is just not touching when you turn the wheel, but as soon as you cut timber, it turns, but it stops the blade moving backwards.

any one got any ideas on how to make a guide rail for this? photos would be cool please if you have any I could look at

or can you buy them?

 

[Alexam]

You can buy them, but some are a little bit naff. A 2x4 clamped on ther table works well. Just a bit of setting up each time, but it worked well on my older machine when I did't wantto use the tny on on the table. https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid ... s&tbm=shop

Yes. I wouldn't spend the money. With the exception of for tenons, I tend not to use a fence - you can't correct a wandering blade when using a fence.
