My old hands were not up to tightening the nut on the Workstation angle fence. The angle fence kept slipping. I made this quick and dirty wrench to assist in tightening the nut so that the angle fence doesn't slip. It works quite well.

This bit appears to have changed since I ordered it. It is now 2 mm diameter instead of 1.5 mm. The 2mm would probably work just as well.

Instructions

I used a 1/16" end mill to cut the hole. You might be able to do it with a 1/8" bit, but the projections to match the grooves in the knob are pretty small. When I used the included file to cut the wrench, the knob fit too tight for my liking. I cut the hole larger with a -0.005 offset, and it fit much better. Cut the hole with the included file and see how your knob fits.
