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.
