I’m not sure I could add much more of a positive review on top of what has already been said. This fence has allowed me to expand my lapidary knowledge in a whole new wonderful direction. It has made the process of my first 3 inlay projects possible to complete with 2 more inlays projects started. If you have one of the 8″ Hi-Tech flat laps you have to get one of Jared’s intarsia fences. You will be very glad you did.

Thank you, Jared! This is truly all you need for an All-U-Need flat lap! I have completed my first piece and was amazed at how easily and perfectly the 90 degree angles were to achieve. Perfect angles make perfect seams so my piece has zero gaps that are visible to the naked eye. To anyone hesitant to try intarsia due to fear of imperfection, you’ll be so pleased with how easy this fence makes the process that it will leave you wondering what took you so long to give it a try. To anyone considering this fence vs. an intarsia machine, be aware that a complete piece cannot be made on an intarsia machine because you’ll need a cabbing machine or your flat lap to finish the process. One flat lap, one fence and you’ll be on your merry way! Again, I thank you, Jared!

This is a well made, last forever type, useful tool. If you’ve ever tried to manually get a good right angle edge you know it’s just not possible using just your eyes and fingers. Not for me anyway. This will definitely up your intarsia game!

Great product. I’m just getting into intarsia, and had a Hi Tech flat lap. This provided a nice way to add some skills. Also, it has amazing build quality and is made in America by a lapidary entrepreneur, both of which we need more of.
Cynthia E Foss –
Well made fence which is easy to install and remove as needed. I have used it several times already and would definitely recommend it.
Kevin G –
Very well made and practical tool. Extends the uses of the 8″ flat lap. Now I just need to develop the skills to take full advantage of it.
Caleb Willis –
This fence is a great addition to the 8” hitech flat lap toolset. Functionally it performs as expected and I’m very glad I picked one up. Coming from a fabrication background, the quality and effort put into these really shows. Pick one up and try it for yourself. You won’t be disappointed!

I am happy to be an early and proud owner of one of these intarsia fences! This thing is sturdy and absolutely feels like it will last forever. Also, it fits onto my 8” hi-tech diamond flat lap perfectly! Thank you for making these, Jared!
