    Abstract: A fence assembly includes a fence body having front and rear faces that define a width and top and bottom faces that define a height of the fence body. The fence assembly includes at least one stop assembly, each stop assembly including a stop arm that is moveable from a first position in which the arm overlies one of the faces of the fence body and a second position in which the arm extends away from one of the faces. The fence body has a high-profile position in which the front and rear faces are perpendicular to a table and a low-profile position in which the front and rear faces are parallel with the table.
