I just got some of the FBT 6" fence blocks. On the FBT website, it shows they have 4 threaded holes on one of the 6" sides. My blocks have 5 threaded holes on that 6" side. The rest of the block is exactly the same as the diagram online.
Did you guys change the hole pattern for some reason and what is that reason? I’m hoping someone thought of another way to make it even more versatile and I want to make sure I know what that added versatility is!

So is it the same pattern on 1" spacing as the other side? Or does it still have the pair of holes at 2.8" spacing for doing 45° on the table?

Here is the 6" block on his site:
And here is the block I got. If you number the holes from left to right, then
1&3 are 2" center to center
2&4 are 2" ctc
2&5 are 2.8" ctc
The other sides have the same holes as the FBT pic:
Now that I’ve looked into it more, It looks to me like they spaced the two 2" spaced holes, apart by 1" to give two different table location options like the smaller fence block has. Great idea. I don’t think that first design he had was able to do that.
someone from our customer service team will contact you
@Scratch I was confused about that block being for 3/4 vs 5/8 system
That’s the correct block for 5/8, we added that extra hole in there vs the 3/4 version since there was space for it
