One of these days I will add a stop, so the fence can be returned to 90 degrees quickly and easily.
Yep, light pressure, just enough to clamp the parts, especially if they can be backed up by the fench.
I haven't added stops but I did put a heavy scribe mark @ 90, 75, 60 & 45 degrees. Works well for me.
