A sacrificial fence is a woodworking fence that is made out of wood and often bolted to the surface of a metal fence in order to allow the sacrificial fence to be used very close to the blade (where it might be damaged). The word sacrificial is used because the fence is expected to be accidentally hit by the cutting blade, and will thus be eventually sacrificed and replaced.

Famous quotes containing the words sacrificial and/or fence:
“If there is a species which is more maltreated than children, then it must be their toys, which they handle in an incredibly off-hand manner.... Toys are thus the end point in that long chain in which all the conditions of despotic high-handedness are in play which enchain beings one to another, from one species to another—cruel divinities to their sacrificial victims, from masters to slaves, from adults to children, and from children to their objects.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“There is no fence nor hedge round time that is gone. You can go back and have what you like of it—if you can remember.”
—Philip Dunne (1908–1992)
