After Market table saw fence
I shopped around and bought something other than what I
really wanted. After wasting more than I could have
ever saved, I bought a Bisemeyer and have never looked
back.
The install is easy and if the holes in the table do
not line up, the cast iron is extremely easy to drill.

I have a Rigid TS2424 contractor table saw and am
planning to replace
the rip fence. Overall happy with the saw, it has
cast iron top and has
stood the test of time. Not a bad fence on the saw
just finicky so
want to put something on the machine that will hold
its "trueness"
better then the stock fence.
I have looked at the Biesemeyer, Shop Fox, Vega and
others and
now asking those in this group what their take is on
the fences
out there. What models did you buy that you liked or
didn't like?
My only parameter that matters is (as always) price.
I would
like to cap the price at around $300.
The Rigid saw uses bolts that fit into T slotted
guides in the front and
rear of the saw so in my search I have been guided by
how difficult it
would be to install this fence. It seems that most of
the after market
fences can be installed using this method but am open
to having
to do some metal work to fit the new fence.
TIA
